The recent and awful holocaust at the Iroqnois theater in Chicago has taught the people tbruout the world a lesson that will be retained forever, or. should we say until some more fearful calamity overtakes us? It has remind­ ed us that we know not what hour the angel of death may come. It teaches that there is absolute necessity for the enforcement of the building laws, and for the passage of building laws where they do not now exist, both in villages and cities. No one believes for a mo­ ment that the proprietors or managers of the Iroquois theater ever dreamed of such a catastrophe. To what, then, can we attribute the evident lack of ade­ quate fire protection? Chicago has laws, which, if enforced, would have prevented the terrible tragedy. In view of this fact, tben. why should not the theater managers and the building inspector be punished for criminal. neg ligence? Bnt, alas, will the punishment of these meu bring back the 60<> lives that.were sacrificed? Will it dry the tears of the thousands of heartbroken mourners? Is it what the people of the United States demand? Whether they will be punished or not is a question of little consequence when compared with the all absorbing question of the future: Will the present laws be enforced, henceforth, and will laws be enacted where none now exist? The proprietors of the Iroquois theater are bnt a few of the thousands of men who are today evading the laws, with the knowledge and sanction of those who are supposed to enforce those laws. It is the latter who should be made to feel the indigna­ tion of an outraged pnblic. But why should the heartrending trial which '*is now taking place in Chicago be neces sary in indicting the building inspectors? There are other pnblic buildings in Chi­ cago in which the law .is not complied with. Punish them for allowing these defects, close up the structures, and save lives. The laws were made not only for the prosecution of criminals, bat to prevent crime. There is probably not a village or city in the country whi ;h has not at least one structure wherein large audiences gather, that is what may be called a fire trap. Where laws exist prohibit­ ing the construction of snch balls and theaters the proprietors, and officers of the city are criminals. And it U not uecessary to wait until a hundred lives are lost before one can term them cr$ui iuals. There is no ordinance in McHenry pertaining to the construction of hall* and public buildings. We have hulls which should be better equipped for fire protection and an ordinance would have the dewired effect. It is likely that the exit* in these places will be changed soon, anyway. the time to act. t"-; • - I John D . Lod tz , HOW T0WN8 WERE NAMED. Harvard Herald: The history in con­ nection with the naniiug of the various townships in McHenry county is fnll of interesting anecdotes, as many of them were given appellations under unique conditions. With but a few exceptions the names assigned were given in honor of places in the east, which were the early homes of £he sturdy pioneers of McHenry county. Chemung was named by a pioneer, Mr. Seward, wbo gave it this title in honor of Chemung county, New York, his native county. Alden was called by the early settlers, who were natives of Alden, York State. Hebron is the only town in the county that received its name from a woman, this honor be­ longing to Mrs. Bela H. Tryon. mother of (3apt C. H. Tryon of Woodstock. She called it' Hebron after the song, "Hebron," which was a favorite of here. I*aac M. Reed hud the honor of naming Richmond, calling it after bis native town, Richmond. Vt. It is said that a number of the pioneers of that village agreed that the perhon who would climb to the top of the old saw mill ahonld have the honor of naming the village. Mr. Reed was the only one of the company that had the necessary courage. Burton was first called Ben­ ton, but as there was another place in the state by the same name, it was fiiial- Iv changed to Burton. .. •• Dunham went for many earif under the name of Byron, but it was necessary to re name it, as there was another place in the state by the same name, hence it was called Dunham in honor of Solomon J. Dunham, who was justice of the peace in the town. Hartland got its name from a pioneer resident of the township. McHenry was named in honor of Col. Wm. McHenry, of Black Hawk war fame. Nunda bore the name of Brooklyn until changed by Col. Wm. Huffman, who named it after his native home in York State. Dorr was named after Gtov. Dorr of Rhode Island and Seneca from a tribe of Indians. Marengo went nnder the name of Pleas­ ant Grove for a number of years, but it was finally changed to Marengo, as the postoffice bore that name. Algon­ quin was named by Samuel Edwards, who called it after a steamboat on which he was captain in the east, while Grafton was called in honor of Grafton. N. H., by President Whittemore, as it was the name of his native town. QUAFLTER OF A CENTURY. Item* Clipped from The Plulndealeni of Jariuary -8 and 15, 1878. night JANUARY 8. Isaac Went worth is now the watchman at the pickle factory. The question up at Johnsbnrgh now is, "Joe, how is Martin?" We wonder what that means. Wood is now sold at a low$r price in this village than for many years. Good dry wood can now be bought for $8.00 and $8.50 per cord. We learn that a child of Peter Shade, who lives near Hanly's mill died on Friday last of diphtheria The coldest weather known for many yf ars has visited this section the past week, the thermometer ranging from 12 to 27 degrees below zero for five days in succession., and all business was vir­ tually at a stand still. It is to be hoped the weathtr clerk will let up soon The pickle factory has lately put in new steam pipes and their buildings are now heat by Bteam. , Shedd & Co. 's force of workmen cut­ ting ice on the pond now number about fifty men. who, with the aid of a nine horse power engine to hoist the ice, are storing a large amount of the congealed element daily. The ice is from 12 to 14 inches thick. The New Year's party at the River­ side House was a great success in every particular. One hundred and fourteen couples were in attendance, and every­ thing passed off in a most pleasant man­ ner. * JANUARY 15. ' Messrs.
