One of our citizens was in Knightstown Friday night when the City Hotel burned. He informs your reporter that the water pressure was not strong enough to knock out common window glass. He says that they had to throw brick through the secondgstory windows in order to get the water in at them. Knightstown bas evidently made some mistake in putting in her water plant, one man was able to liianage the nczz'e on a ladder with full pressure on.

BRAVE FIREMEN
HOLD A GRAND ItANQUiSF AT X11E CITY mjILUING.
The Prens and all City Otlicinls Invited ami Do Justice to the Katiblea—A 'Time" Long to be Remembered.
Tl'e Greenfield Fire Drpartment is composed of the superintendent of the water works, four representatives from eaih ward, and the marshal and ward policemen. who are ex-olficio members. Saturday was the first anniversary of the organization, so they decided to celebrate tbe occasion in an informal,* "happy-go-lucky" manner. All the members were present except Ed Watson, of the second ward, and Deputy Marshal Lynam, of the third ward. Those in attendance were: Mayor Duncan, Clerk McKown, City Attorney, E. J. Binford, Civil Engineer, Will Cleary, Marshal Scott, Policemen Jeffries and Brown, and Merchant Policemen Dudding and Johnsou, Engineer Mealy and Councilmen Morford Eagan, Beecher, Vaughn and Mouiden. Among the invited guests were: George W. Parker Robert Martin, of the Evening Tribune the mnipresent reporter of the EVENING REPUBLICAN and Ed Kinder, who formerly kept the fire horse and wagon in his stable.
Everyone was in a jolly mood jokes were free and plenty. Win. Tollen carved the turkey in butcher style. Ed Howard, Will Hughes and George Gant acted as waiters, to the satisfaction of all. Mayor Duncan showed the greatest capacity for turkey and Councilman Beecher for oysters. After most of the turkey and oysters had disappeared, W. S. Gant, who had slipped away unnoticed, appeared with a basket of fine apples. When the inner man had been sufficiently replenished, "Bill Thomas," the fire horse, gave an exhibition of his duties as a member of the department. He manifested wonderful understanding and obedience. Notwithstanding the crowd of strangers, he was faithful to his duty, and his actions called forth many words of surprise and admiration from the spectators.
The horse^having performed his part of the program, the firemen put on their rubber coats and shield hats, and headed by Mayor Duncan and Marshal Scott, started out to take in the town. Up to this time there nad been considerable talk about beer, but as they were afraid to send Vaughn and Toilen for it. none materialized. We are, however, unable to say what occurred when they were taking in the town. No, thank you, we do drink.
There .ire a few things which we observed that are worthy of note: Chief Cosby has arranged the department headquarters very conveniently and has evidently been very careful and diligent in training the horse. The firemen are taking a great deal of interest and pride in the department and the utmost good feeling prevails among them. While there may be some things which the department needs in the way of appliances, still what it has is of the best quality and afford a very good protection to the property of our city. The REPUBLICAN congratulates the citizens of Greenfield, the Council and the members of the fire department on what they have done in the way of fire protection for the city.

and it Is therefor* unreasonable to mijV pose that his work along historical line# was animated by any spirit of selftshnesif or sordldness. No other man Is so weUr equipped for the task he self-imposed He has been a conspicuous figure in Indiana almost continuously since It wa*i admitted to Statehood^ He was secretary.' of the Constitutional Convention, and hiaf personality Is strongly" marked in the or"-*^ ganic law as well as In much of subsequent legislation. His great wealth ha» afforded him opportunities for devotingphis entire attention to literary labor.

After .several years of ardent devotion and labor, undertaken In a spirits of State pride and for pure love of It, the publication of "THE CONQUEST Olr THE NORTHWEST" will cause him to be kindly remembered as an Indiantaar whose motives have been often mlacoilstrued, and whose real worth as a man and citizen haa been often: Ignored bji unreasonable political bias and human »•(., ture's inherent prejudice against men
