Alderman Hull should be present when
the adjusting of the water taxes takes
place, as he was member of the water
committee when the rates were fixed. He
wishes Mayor Mott to appoint some one
in his place, as he says unavoidable bust,
ness will call him out of town As soon
as the list of water renters and their as
sessments are printed, each consumer will
be furnished with printed list. Anyone
finding fault with the amount charged
them, will then be at liberty to state their
grievances to the water committee, who
viii have meeting to consider their just
ness. 1t is therefore important that all
members of the committee be present on
that occasion, and especially Alderman
Hull, who is well posted on water affairs
having been q member of the water com
mittee for several terms. Mr. Hull should
not compel the city TO lose his valuable
services when they are most required

Iail Notes.

One of the cells in the armory has beer
provided with an iron bedstead, with two
berths, one above the other. Two soft
mattresses have been provided, and also
warm wooden blankets, so that four men
can be slowed away nicely. When
"drunks" are brought in, they are placed In
A room where a mattress lies on the floor,
and when they are sufficiently sobered oil
they are given a good bed. A look at the
general appearance of the interior of the
city Jail is convincing that everything is
kept in the best of order, and ismuch
superior to the jails in other cities.

Mr.. John Sutchffe, the painter, was
disagreeably surprised on arriving home
from the circus performance on Thursday
afternoon to find that $500 had been
taken from his shop. He had $500 in the
place, but 800 was unmolestcd. He had
his suspicious who the culprit was, and
did not lay the theft to crooks who were
supposed to follow the circus, but to q
person who should naturally be supposed
TO be the last person in the world to rob
him. His suspicious appeared to be only
too true Marshal Miller threatened to
arrest the suspected party if the money
was not returned, and thus succeeded in
getting it. The ARGUS will suppress the
name of the guilty person, but would
simplysadvise him "that the way of the
transgressor is hard" and that he had
better mend his ways before it is too late

morning in favor of the defendant. Al

that crops on their land were damaged to
a certain extent by cows belonging to

see no cause for action, and dismissed the
suit at plaintiffs costs. Such verdict
was rendered from the fact that the plain.
