Editor Of Republican:
Why is it that in the gas bills against the
city the amounts are not published All
other bills or accounts against the city are
usually published as presented and as al
lowed. 1t is hoped that these outrageous
charges OF the gas company for gas may
awaken the people to the realizing sense
that they are ''paying too dear for the
whistle Many cities have been and are
now agitating this question, and have re-
duced the price SO per cent. in some in
stances. Chicago alone has saved $3.50, 900
per annum by agitating this subject. 1t has
been p-oven that coal gas can be manufac-
tured for Is cents per 1000 feet in cities
similarly situated as we are. Then what is
the sense of paying So or So. SO per thousand
to few wealthy capitalists in or out of the
city who own the stock. I say agitate!
lie: the city council look into this matter.

A Man Missing.

The case of Joseph Pierce, who has been
missing from the home of his father-in law,
Mr.. 81. Mcmahon, in the Sd ward, since Mon
day noon, December IL, is the most myster-
inus event that has ever taken place here.
Mr.. Pierce came to the city with his wife
from their home at Rochester, Mimi, a
little over a month ago 10 visit Mrs. Pierce )
father. Mr.. Pierce spent his time chiefly at
the home of his father-in-law, occasionally
going to town and visiting with his friends
and acquaintance. Monday evening, not
having returned home, his wife felt little
uneasy, but did not think SO much of his
absence until the night had passed away
and Tuesday dawned without his making
his appearances. All day Tuesday an active
search was made for him which has been
kept up to this time without the least trace
of his whereabouts being discovered. Tele-
grams have been sent to his home at Roch-
ester, but word has been received that he
has not been seen there. Meanwhile his
poor wife IS nearly distracted over his mys-
ferrous disappearance, and lie inconsolable
under the circumstances. A few dayss since
she started for their old home in Rochester
in hopes that she will there find some solu-
ton to the mystery that surrounds :he
case. Mr.. Pierce is man wsll-to-do own
ing good hotel property at Rochester.
He is a person of steady habits, of quiet
demeaner and always proved kind hus-
band. These things add TO the Mysterious
ness of the case. We understand Mr.. Pierce
has not been in very robust health for some
time, and the most reasonable supposltion
is that he has suddenly become deranged
and either wandered off OR persisted from
cold in some out-of-the-way place about
here. The clearing up of this mystery will
be watched with deep interest in this COM
munity where both Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce are
well known, and Eve sincerely hope for
the sake of the wife and relatives of the
missing man that his fate will soon be
solved.
