There have been a number of attempts to burn buildings in Burling ton during the last year, and this, to gether with the fact that the Hawkeye has been waging a hard fight against the saloon and gambling element in the city, leads to the incendiary theory.

BAILEY NEW YORK CASH STOKE, 215 217 H. 4th AVaterloo. Iowa. To Start My Business THE COUNCIL'S COOT. Chicago's City Fathers Confiscate the Property of the Economic Fnel Gas Company.

The Action Taken on Account of the Absorption of the Company by the Gas Trust. A Corporation Chartered to Manufac ture Compressed Wind for the AVindy City. Chicago, March 2. The city council has formally placed itself on record as being opposed to the sale of the capital stock of the Chicago Economic Fuel Gas company to the gas trust. Not only did the council refuse its sanction to the business tranaction which is alleged to have recently taken place between the Chicago Economic Fuel Gas company and the others, but it declared forfeited the rights and privileges granted by ordinance last year to the former corporation and ordered the confiscation of its property.

The resolution which was introduced by Alderman Kerr was passed unanimously. After reciting the fact that the Economic company had violated the provisions of the ordinance by which it was granted permission to construct and operate gas works by combining with the gas trust the resolution concludes: "Resolved, That the rights and privileges of said Chicago Economic Fuel company, granted by said ordinances, or each of them, or which might otherwise be claimed thereunder and each and every one of them and the same are hereby de clared to be forfeited and to have ceased and that the same are of no further force or effect; and that the commissioner of public works and superintendent of streets are authorized to permit no further laying of pipes or other disturbance of the streets of the city by said Chicago Economic Fuel Gas company and that the commissioner of public works and superintendent of streets ars further directed to take charge and control of all gas mains and pipes and feeders and service pipes laid by said Chicago Economic Fuel Gas company in any of the avenues, streets, alleys or public places in said city under or in pursuance of said ordinances as the property of the city of Chicago and to prevent the use or any interference therewith by any other person or corporation." COMPRESSED WIND. Chicago City Council Grants a Franchise for Ita Manufacture. Chicago, March 2. The city council has granted an ordinance permitting the Chicago Power Supply and Smoke Abating company to lay pipes, aa a local merchant expressed it, "for almost any purpose" the genius of man may invent.

The passage of the ordinance was interrupted by many protests, in which there were suggestions of boodle-ism, but it was finally passed by a vote of 46 to 12. The principal supporter of the ordinance promises that with the advent of the new company, Chicago's smoke problem would be solved. The company is granted the power to construct and operate works for the manufacture of compressed air and motors, and fittings for the same and for pneumatic appliances within the city. Leaves It Where It Was. London, March 2.

The Standard says the decision in the Say ward case leaves the diplomatic situation precisely where it was before. There is no reason to assume that the court has considered the international equties. Failure to procure a judicial pronouncement on the validity of the pretensions set up by the Washington authorities will rather facilitate than prejudice a full and amicable settlement by the arbitrator? On all goods made up during the month of March: QUALITY AND FIT GUARANTEED. J. CHARLESOIXI, 109 East Fourth St.

1705 The Oil Trust. Columus, March 2. In the quo warranto suit instituted by Attorney General ATatson, of this state nearly two years ago, to test the legality of the charter of the monopoly known as the Standard Oil company, the Ohio supreme court has rendered its decision. It is against the company. The incorporation of the original company is not annulled, but sthe trust agreement between it and the other oil concerns forming the trust is declared to be illegal.

It is regarded as one of the most important decisions ever rendered by this court. MAY BE REPEALED. Popular Sentiment in Iowa Favors a Change fn the Prohibition Law. Des Moines, March 2. Interest in the situation in the legislature on the prohibition question is becoming intense in Iowa.

The belief that the law will be repealed is growing every day. Xo one can give a reason for this change of sentiment as to what is believed the legislature will do, but that it has reached all sections of the state and all classes of people there is no question. It is thought that the principal fight on the question will be made in the house. Mrs. L.
