The Late Floods.

The signal service charts of the weather
on the morning of the goth, S0th and 91st
of March, 1886, prepared at the signal
Office in Washington, d. c., copies of
which are now at the signal Office in st.
Paul, show conclusively that the cause Of
the floods was the heavily vapor-laden
storm areas that moved up from the Gulf
of Mexico on the mornings of the Goth and
30th ultimos respectively. and the coales-
cence of the same into general rain storm
that resulted in remarkable deposits of
water. On the morning of the 30th two
storm areas from the gulf united near Co
lumbus, Ohio, one from the southeast and
one from the southwest, each occasioning
copious rains along its track. The general
storm center then passed to the north, pass
ing over the Straits of Mackinaw into
Canada. The heaviest preeipitations were
in Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee, where
the rainfall was enormous. During az hours
the rainfall at Atlanta was liz inches, at
Chattanooga s.54, Mobile Coz.

Gas Consumers

On and after April l the price of gas
will be reduced fifty (50) cents per 1000
feet, making the net price So per 1000
feet on all bills paid before the 10th of the
month.
In short time the company will have
completed its auxiliary plant, by which the
Illuminating power Of the gas will be greatly
increased, so much so that il will be equiv
alent to further reduction in cost 10 the
consumer of at least Is per cent. by reason
OF having to use less quantity of gas TO
obtain the same amount of light. In this
connection we call the attention of mer-
chants now using oil to the advantages of
gas as an advertising medium. A poorly
lighted store, by its gloom and unpleasant
odor, repels custom, while a brightly
lighted store attracts custom. Successful
merchants OF all the large cities of the
country use gas to an extent hardly thought
OF in st. Paul. At the reduced price which
is now offered, there Is no reason why
every store in st. Paul should not use gas
1t is nearly as cheap and far safer than
oil, and much cheaper than the electric
light. To those who desire the electric
light we will add that we have
just completed. at a cost of over
S100,0 and are now operating one of the
finest electric light plants In this country,
and are prepared to furnish the arc lights
without limit. and within thirty 500 days
We will also be prepared to supply Gus
toners with the incandescent electric light
of any candle-power required. 1t is the
endeavor of this company to cheaper to
the consumer the cost ofllght whether gas
or electric, as rapidly as the business will
warrant and an increased number of Gus.
toners will go great ways towards secur-
ing further reduction in price.
We would also call the attention Of con-
sumers TO the economy and desirability of
gas for cooking purposes. Gas at So is as
cheap as anthracite coal at $3.50 per ton,
and superior in every way. There Is no
dirt. ashes or labor, the fire is always ready
and the stoves manufactured at present are
in every way equal to the ordinary cooking
range. We shall have on hand samples of
stoves and would request their examination.
We will give purchasers full benefit of dis
counts given as by the trade.

DISCUSSING CARRIAGE.
This UnsavOry Topic Argued Before
the Board of Health.

The board of health held meeting yes
terday to consider the question of removal
of ashes and other accumulatiOns in connec-
ton with the present system of garbage re-
moyal as conducted by the odorless COM
pany. President Donaldson wanted an Or
dinance drawn giving the company the eX-
elusive right to remove not only swirl, but
manure, ashes, etc, and making IT pun
ishable otfenSe for any other TO remove &C
cumulations of any nature from residences.
Health Officer Jones objected, as he consld-
cred such action as virtually giving the
company a monopoly. Aid. Sanborn be-
lieved an ordinance of the nature asked for
was the only means of settling the garbage
question satisfactorily, and declared
he would vote for the meas
ure if drawn up, and
presented to the council. City Attorney
Murray questioned the right of the city to
take any such step. and was of the opinion
that the removal of all accumulations would
naturally fail into the hands of the COM
pany if proper steps were taken by the COM
pany to acquaint property holders with the
fact that the corporation would haul away
other collections beside swill. AS it stands,
he said the company's agents called only
for swill and made no effort to secure an in
crease of business by declaring disposition
TO REMOVE EVERYTHING.
If the company would place a circular in
the hands of all property owners stating
their terms for the removal of different
classes of garbage and asking Tor notitica-
ton as soon as the company's services were
required, he had no doubt the garbage
question would work its own solution. Aid.
O'Connor objected to the drafting of such
an ordinance as Mr.. Donaldson required, as
he thought it interfered with the in
diyidual right OF the people
to dispose of refuse matter
A number of poor people. he declared, sold
their ashes to the soap manufacturers, while
others sold the refuse from their stables to
the garden farmers. Large hotels sold all
their garbage. TO say all these that they
should not remove their garbage, except
through the agency of the odorleSs COM
pany, would be to work an injustice to the
MANY for the benefit of the corpora ton.
Mr.. Donaldson said the contract now held
declared the company had the exclusive
right and all they wanted was the contract
inforced. They had put thousands of dol
lars into their system and were conducting
it at loss of $500 per month, and at the
same time the people were not satisfied and
the work was not o success. They couldn't
afford to haul for less than 81 per load for
garbage. or % cents per barrel, and their
wagons held as much again as those OF
others who were in the line. He had pre-
scented the question to Mayor Rice and that
gentleman favored the passage of an ordi-
nance such as he demanded. The board
discussed the subject pro and con at length,
but adjourned without taking action.

sheriff over in Shasta county. 1t was
roaster of.ai day, and i was return

sluice robbers. I was slowly following
faint mountain trail, and the sun
was just baking me, and the horse
was in lather. 1 came under the

be pleasant to get off and have
smoke. I sat down on cool boulder,
cut a pipeful from my plug, filled my
pipe and felt for match. Well, Joe,
there wasn't match anywhere in my
pockets. / searched and searched,
but there was no match. tell you,
Joe, felt worse over that disappoint.

while I sat there on that boulder
wrapped in gloom, what dye suppose
my eye suddenly fell on? A match,
by heaven, lying on the trail not six
feet away from me! I used it-though
I was little afraid to touch it al
first-and had my smoke. So you
needn't worry about how this politi-
cal fight is going to come out. A man
