Copeland's proposition sets forth number
of statements as facts, which, if they can be
demonstrated to the satisfaction of the city
council, should be duly considered.
After Mr.. Copeland had finished reading his
report it might have been expected that some
intelligent discussion of the important matter
would be had, but on the contrary "his honor"
seemed bored, and Berg made lame attempt
to give some reason for the majority report.
Story rose and frankly acknowledged that it
was subject he was not posted about, so did
Pauly, but Pauly asked for postponement of
consideration until next meeting, which was
agreed to.
AT the next meeting the matter will be set
tied by Copeland's re- port being voted down.
The anti-water works agitation that spr ang
up two years ago, was unreasonable and its
collapse was complete, and we may say fatal
to the interests of the puplic. In the COM
promise the city lost its opportunity to better
the onerous conditions imposed upon the
water consuming public. Mayor French was
elected as the especial friend of the water
works company, and the company are en-
titled to all the fruits of that victory, and they
are now about to gather them.
There will come a time when the short
sighted folly-the stupidity of our city govern
ment, if nothing worse, will cause our COM
munity to heap curses upon their heads. Its
only question of time when the city govern
ment must, as it is its duty to do even now,
take charge of and control the matter of sup
plying the public with water.
Atpresent our community is not ripe for
this agitation. The opponents of the water
works Of two years ago are now the most vio-
lent in favor of the city substituting this cor
poration, because they hope to be benefited.
Once that the works extend to all parts of the
city the company will find itself in the hands
of the people, and the history of other cities
will be repeated. Now, the prospect of water
works entirely obliterates the objections.

That Second Hand Book.

A week or two ago n bright and chatty
young woman called"at house on Cass
avenue and endeavored to make u sale
of Il book entitled "Home and Mother
The lady of the house received her ire
the usual ten degrees below fashion and,
utterly refusing to look at the book,
she said:

that my husband wouldn't pay for it.
at is book highly spoken of by tho
press"
ayes, know, but my husband is
queer"
"And You sec the superior style Of
binding
81 know, but my husband would call
IL bosh and trash"
"Shan't call when he is at home"
"That would be useless. lie wouldn't
even look at it, and he hates female
book agents.

doesn't even treat them 'ciyilly when

us that sop unused the girl, and when
she left the house, she for some reason
or other started right down town,
The lady Of the house might have for
gotten the incident in five or six years
but for q sort of climax. When herh
band came up to dinner he handed her
n copy Of "Homc and Mother" with
the remark:
Happened to see IL rs passed

perhaps you'd like It,"
"Yes-ah but, Henry, girl was
here trying to sell me this very book
not over two hours agor stammcred
the wife,
"Was, ohp Well, she probably got
discouraged, sold QUITO the secondhand
dealer and skipped the city. Is dinner

Dinner was ready, but somehow the
wife had no appetite, and since that she
has fits Of abstraction, chances suspic-
iously around at times, and has been
seen going IN and coming out Of second

The Market.

The weather is clear and cold. A strong
wind from the northwest prevailed early to.
day, but the atmosphere was comparative
ly calm this afternoon and evening.
The floods throughout the country, and
the general interference with railroad trains
thereby, has apparently stagnated business,
and dealers are anxiously waiting for
subsistence of the waters of the rivers.
FLOUR Unchanged; very little doing.
Prices continue about the same as at the
opening of the week.
HAY-The market is very quiet and
movement exceedingly light. Receipts
are small.
CORN-The market rules steady but
quiet Orders come in slowly. Prices
continue unchanged.
OATS-Quiet and weak. Transactions
are very small.
MEAL-Firm and Unchanged.
BUTTER Choice is little scarce and
in active request.
EGGS--Firm and unchanged. Receipts
are not large but the supply appears to be
ample for the demand.
