Deliberations Of the sewer Commit.
tee Yesterday.
The Sewer Committee met yesterday
afternoon again TO consider the PROPOSE
tions for taking care Of the sewage out
side of the city limits. Part OF the com.
mittee had visited sample filter bed
constructed by Mr.. J. G. DAILY during
the morning. Mr.. Daily was present at
the meeting, as also was Mr.. Snyder, the
representative of the Pacific 9Sewage
Company.
Mr.. DAILY submitted a proposition in
writing agreeing to take care of the sew
age at several points on the city's bound
ary, free of cost to the city ifhe was given
a contract for fifty years. He also agreed
10 take the sewage in ninety days.
Mr. Snyder, on behalf of the Pacific
Sewage Company offered to furnish
three sets of filter beds after the West
style for $50 900 and to take care of the
sewage for $40, 900 year. Wnen ques-
toned he said that he would build one
filter bed for $25, 900 and give the Coun-
Gil the right to test it for
six months before paying for it, and if
but one filter bed was used the price per
year for taking care of 'he sewage would
be but So $685. per year. He also offered
to build the filter beds and take care OF
the sewage for nothing if the city would
give him franchise for so years. Mr..
DAILY said he was prepared to furnish
bonds in any amount to carry out his
contract.
1t was suggested that it be recon-
mended that the proposal of the Pacific
Sewage Company as amended be ac-
cepted and that contract be drawn in
accordance Herewith.
Mr. Threlkeld said he did not think
much of trying experiments and he
favored the building of an outfail to the
sea.
Captain Barrett thought that the peo-
pie would not vote for the amount OF
bonds which an outfall would require.
1t was suggested that Mr.. Daly's prop
osition was to take care of the sewage for
nothing, but Mr.. Wilson said that the
Pacific Sewage Company had also come
down to the same basis, offering to take |
care of it for nothing if franchise was
given it for fifty years. He also thought
that the Pacific Sewage Company hav-
titled to more consideration.
Mr.. Threlkeld would not join with |
Messrs. Barrett. Wilson, Humphreys and
Shafer in recommending the acceptance |
of the Pacific Sewage Company's prop
osition and it was decided to recommend
that contract be drawn with the Pacific |
Sewage Company satisfactory to the
Council and to the Company.

week.
Two large excursions and a number oi
small parties will arrive in Los Angeles
during thu coming week. Measrs. Geo.
Cotteral & Co. have dropped out of the
business, this being expected on account
of the action Of the Union Pacific. Up
to about three months ago all of the ex-
cursion business over the Union Pacific
to and from California was operated by
Messrs. Cotteral, but the profit assumed
such vast dimensions that the company
determined to take the business into its
own hands. 1t accordingly opened ex-
cnrsion agencies of it's own,
expired at the end of 1883,
ties are now en- route to Los Angeles:
A Sunset excursion of 100 people from
Boston and Atlantic seaboard points-to
arrive in Los Angeles on Monday evening.
A Phillips exclusion from Boston was
heard from yesterday. The tourists
about $50, had just left To-
peka and will be here on Tuesday.
Regular Burlington, Union Pacific and
Texas and Pacific excursions are also re-
ported, but no idea as to their strength
IAN be obtained.
NOTES.
On Monday next a Raymond & Whit
,omb excursion will leave Boston in &
special vestibuled train and will arrive
lere on the 22d inst.
The dates of the departure of the Den
yer and Rio Grando excursions from this
,ity bave been changed from Thursdays

rhs state Exhlsition.

For years many counties in this state had
the reputation Of raising and furnishing the
best stock for all purposes to be found IN the
country Oar people have given as much
time aud attention to this important industry
in the last three or four years as ever before,
but the trouble has been that they have not
properly and systematically advertised il,
consequently il has not been as profitable AS
they desired. They now have an opportu.
nifty Of proving their claim by entering the
best sgook at the state exhibition. both for
premiums and for sale, at the immense stock
sales to be held every morning during the
week This is a most important feature of
the exhibition, and thousands of people inter
ested in buying, raising and selling stock will
be present from all parts of the country. An
opportunity is thus given to all visitors to
combine business with pleasure, and We hope
many Carroll countans will be at the exhibit
ton, and we wish them success IN winning
premiums, disposing of stock and purchasing
new breeds, that will enable them to improve
their present stock or increase the variety
now on hand. Every one can be benefited
in some way by attending, as the program IS
an interesting one, and much can be seen
that if properly appreciated can be turned to
good account

Mrs. Smith desired a divorce, and testified
