THE CITIZEN is of the opinion that tbe council should make appropriations frum tbe city treasury to support the fire department so that it would not be necessary for the department to solicit aid from the public. But as the honorable body does not think it the part of wisdom to take such action, it is the duty of tbe public to support tbe tire department. It should not be looked upon as an act of charity, for the amount of property and even life that tbe gallant fire laddies have saved cannot be estimated. Iowa City has never had and destructive which is due no doubt in a great measure to the effective work of the fire department.

But a concert given by the Iowa State Band is well worth the price of admission. Wherever the Band goes it commands the highest prices and draws full In attending tbe concert Iowa City people have an opportunity to their duty by the Ladder Company and at the, same time enjoy a concert second to none of its kind in the country THAT TWO FEET OF SNOW. church to-night.

If hearing w-on't eon- Tlit- Tmlus from the North are Liable tw le Belattit on Acoontit of the BHiwuril Monday Sight. Yesterday traveling men from the north told almost incredible tales of a which was visiting tbe northern part of tbe state, where the snow fell to a depth of two feet The story is confirmed by the following from the Cedar Rapids Republican. "Owing to the blizzard which prevailed in northern Iowa, where the snow is reported to be two feet deep, many of the trains were belated and some abandoned in the northern part of the state and in Minnesota. TbeB, passenger due at 11.45 o'clock from Watertown not arrive until noon yesterday. No.

6, due to leave at 4:25 yestefday morning, was abandoned or rather held at Albert Lea because it was unable to proceed. No. 2 on going 1 east was six hours late. ThePostviUe train was four hours late last night but tbe other passen-1 gers came in nearly on their schedule time, On tbe Decorah branch the snow accumulated on'both sides of the pilot until it formed a wall on either side and this was pushed along by tbe Ioc9motive and was carried for a'considerable "distance after the train got out of the snow belt In tbis not approach tbe recent blockade." A HANDSOME PRESENT. turns were not in vain, as added tonnage from numerous stray bullets testified before they were sent out of service.

Col. Edward Lynde bad the contract tar the road--not HD enviable one, considering- the country from which, he had to secure his supplies. He was a fine- looking- man, tall, lithe, active, alert and a stranger to fear. He managed to carry on his task with grace through the Cherokee nation, but things grew tougher in the Choctew district. Col.

Lynde made an engagement for transporting supplies -with, one Bill Dawson. a veritable braggadocio," who had. a stunning record as "a killer" notched in the handles of his pistols. Dawson promised by contract to bring a hundred yoke of oxen to the present city of Enfalfa to carry supplies south. He simply went out and rounded up a similar number of Texas steers, and.

The novelty wore off for the beitsts after the first two days out and there was a grand stampede, in which wagons were overturned, the steers broke away and confusion reigned supreme. To add to the trouble, half-breeds began to ''loot'' the wagons, and teamsters had plenty' of pistol practice. Dawson made no at tempt to modify matters, hut rode away south. Col. Lyndte soon heard of the confusion, and.

after putting 1 a guard over the wrecked wagon train, strted after the sharper a big 1 muleteer named iTim. A fiftjft-mile tsliase brought tJiem up with Datv-flon, wfovwae accompanied by a villainous 3texican. Dawson reached for his guns, but was promptly "covered" by big Jim. The Mexican, who attempted to throw a murderous knife, dropped it with 'a strange oath when he got a bullet through the wrist. Dawson was tied up with ropes like a trussed chicken, thrown in the wapon and carried back to the end of the line, where he was made to "square 1 i Dawson did not relish this, and swore that Lynde's life shonld pay for his inconvenience during that ride, also making a promissory "notch" for big i Jim.

One night about a month after this affair Cel- Lynde drove into tbe hamlet of AVoka, and. jumping from his buckboard, went into the "hotel." The bar was redolent of smoke, full of border men, and in the midst of the largest group stood Dawson. Every man in the room was accounted "a man of experience," tmd all had heard of the bully's boast. Col. Lynde hod never carried a gun, for reasons best known to himself, but here was a dilemma where nerve must show.

He walked over to Dawson and pushed him aside, remarking in a loud voice that he would shoot him on sight if he ever crossed his path again. Early next morning Col: Lynde went to the stage office, his intention being to get away the town without trouble as quickly as possible. The office was a long, narrow room, with a railing at one end. behind which the agent was ensconced. Lynde was sitting within discussing the chances for peaceable exit when there was a commotion in the street.

Dawson burst in the door and reeled in with a revolver in each hand, with a loud oath and an inquiry for Lynde. That worthy leaped over the railing, and, drawing a huge, old-fashioned from his hip pocket, started for the would-be murderer, shouting: 'H've got you now!" Dawson evidently thought lie had struck a Kansas cyclone with a shooting novelty. He simply turned and fled as if spurred by the evil one himself. OoL Lynde never disturbed thereafter by border rafflaos. SPECIAL SALE One Of spring wraps, day only.

A Who' Collect! and the Froduct'of Burn 111 In all-the large centers of the world there are a few dealers who make a business of collecting mineralogical arid other material illustrating natural history, A man hi London has recently been making something" of a specialty of the collection of volcanic dusts.

He sent' a trustworthy agent' awhile ago to the great Andes of. the equator, and now he is advertising dust from a number of famous volcanoes. He, sells the material in bottles at about thirty-five cents a bottle. Each sample contains' one grain or more. Among these collection's is 1 volcanic dust from Cotopaxi which fell at Quito on June $6, J877, after a journey through the air of thirty-four miles dust from Cotopaxi which was ejected to a height forty thdu- sand feet above the level of 'the sea In 1880 and fell on Chiinborazo after a' journey of miles.

The particles of this dust weigh one twenty-five-triousandth part of a Then there is dust from" bhe terminal slope of 'Cotopaxi such as is daily ejected 'by the volcano at the height of nineteen thousand five hundred feet above the sea. There are many specimens of lapelli from Ambato, mostly pumice, the town'of Ambato is built upon a deposit of this material. Fine volcanic dust has been secured from wtiere it exists as a continuous stratum ten inches thick, the product of some unrecorded eruption of great intensity. It largely of feldspar and hornblend, and Mr. Whimper says it is "almost as soft to the touch as cotton wooL" Fine pumice dust the same volcano forms beds many feet in thickness.

These volcanic dusts 'form many inter- eating and instructive objects of the microscope. The same dealer has fine and coarse dusts from Mount and the typical lavas from Cotopaxi and Chimboraso. lie also sells pieces of pumice from Krakatoa which were washed ashore, thousands of miles away, on the coast of Madagascar, and volcanic dust from St. Lucia which fell on a ship off Barbadoes.
