I,nsr car IS Called

THE AlLLIAkA NAks
and is especially decorated for Sioux City's
military company. The ends of the car
display very fine scroll work and the in
fansry badge in corn is q beautiful piece Of
workmanship. Rifles are crossed and BE-
tween them is the initial of the company
and the number Of the regiment. One
picture is Of sp5ead- eagle and flag, and
the center piece ID shield surrounded by
wreath and surmOunted with swords and
muskets. Another panel represents a
cannon in the &C. Of being discharged, and
the representation CT the charge exploding
at the lannon's mouth is made quite nat
ural by long sprays Of broom corn.
Probably the finest piece Of work is the
figure OF
A FULL RIGGED SHIP AT SEA.
The water is made Of blue squaw corn and
the hull of the ship OF red squaw corn.
The sails are Of corn husks, the spars Of
corn stake, the ropes of twisted corn husks,
the flags and streamers Of corn kernels aud
the clouds in the sky Of spsckled squaw
corn.
Another marvel of artistic ingenuity are
the blocks OF crazy quilt All varieties Of
the corn material are used in their make
up-corn nubbins, cornstalks, cOrncobs,
popcorn, corn put fltwise and endwise
and divided into sections by Little corn
stalks.
Then there are figures representing
many beautiful and suggestive things, in

GAZETTE.

The GAZETTE, chronologically,
is in the NINET1ETH year of its ex-
istence, and is rot only the Oldest
paper in the State, but, with few
exceptions, in the country.
Notwithstanding the fitness of
its years, it has kept, and will coll
tinue to keep, abreast of the times
in all that pertains to NEWS paper,
furnishing its readers daily with
perfect mirror Of passing events,
domestic and foreign.
Its facilities for obtaining news
as they increase are taken advan-
tage Of and used for the benefit of
its readers, who are thus kept
thoroughly posted as to all that is
of interest politically, socially, f.
nancially or commercially.
Special attention is given to mat
ters concerning the State and Its
welfare, while its local columns
contain all that is of the slightest
interest to Alexandrians.
Its regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are fea-
lures of peculiar interest, as attest
ed by the eagerness with which
they are read and copied by other
papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference to
the best interests Of the city, State
and country, will continue to ad-
vocate what is believed to be right,
just, honest and patriotic.
With view to the interest of
merchants, farmers and all inter-
ested, its commercial columns are
carefully edited and its market re-
ports are acknowledged by all to
be faithful and accurate.
Through all this section of the
State, and in all parts Of the coun-
try where Virginians have located,
there will the GAZETTE generally
be found, and thus as an advertis-
ing medium it has few equals out
side the large cities.
In the household, counting room
and workshop it is an ever-welcome
visitor acceptable alike to old and
young, the grave and the gay.

BUSINESS BUDGET.
The City'S Sewerage System is
Discussed
BY SUPERINTENDENT
JAMES.
Opposing the Sewer Tax for Cause.-The Real
Estate Transfers Made Yesterday and
Filed with the Recorder.
The City Sewer System.

The main sewer on Fifth South street is com
pleted, save for the laying Of about eighty-ive
feet of pipe which has been uuavoidably de-
layed. 1.-THE Main street laterals," said Super
intendent James yes erdGy, will be completed
this week, The stump is ready for use, and the
work on the other side Of the river Will be fin
ished very shortly. Were it not for The delay
In the purchase Of the pump we should have
been ready TO connect all Main street business
houses and residences within q couple OF
weeks. Work is now being prosecuted on ire
laterals on West Temple and First " est con-
mencing at Fifth South and working northward.
At the connection with the main sewer on West
Temple street, water in large Quanti-
ties was encountered two and one-half
feet from the surface and there is
every reason to believe that considerable
difficulty will be experienced from this cause
from now ON. The dry season just passed was u
most valuable aid in the construction Of the main
sewer, which runs through very damp district
Of country. The recent heavy SHOWS IN the hills,
however, and the numerous ralnfallS in the val
ley have thoroughly soaked the ground, and
from this time on pumping will have TO be re-
sorted to much more frequently than heretofore.
AS soon as the Main street lateralS are COM
pleted, the gangs Of men now employed there
will be removed to Second East and First West
streets, and work on the laterals pushed ahead
there.
1t is thought that the sewage pump will be in
operation by February, and numerous property
owners in sewer district No. will doubtless be
connected with the laterals before that time, so
that they may take advantage OF the benefits to
be derived at the earliest opportunity.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-11-28
Opposing the Sewer Tax.

Some time since, THE HERALD announced
that there was considerable opposition to the
payment OF the sewer-tax by people who had
built on leased ground, they claiming that the
realty alone was liable for the tax. There were
threats OF suits, but the directors finally
thought better of the matter, and no more was
heard on the subject. Now, however, there is
another objection raised by Messrs. Auerbach
and Raybould. The ordinance creating sewer
district No. l. among other things provided to
assess the cost Of such Experimentation the
real estate, lots and pieces Of ground, embraced
within said sewer district No. |, at per cent Of
the assessed value of said real estate, lots and
pieces Of glound, as valued on the assess
ment roll of said city for the year
1888 be and the same Is hereby levied upon, "
etc. The DIRECTORS claim that, under the ordi-
nance, they are required TO pay per cent. only
upon the assessed valuation OF the assessment
roll for 1883; that the buildings now taxed for
sewerage were not erected until after 1885 and
therefore are not liable to taxation for that pur-
pose. They, therefore, decline to pay the tax
imposed, and the result is the matter must find
its way into the courts for adjustment. While il
is admitted that the language used in the ordi-
nance may be somewhat ambiguous. neYerthe
less II is conceded by those VINO have examined
it that the city officials are correct. The outcome
will be awaited with no little interest.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-11-28

The provision of the law that limits the
liability of railway companies to 5000 in
the case Of the death of human being for
which they are held to be responsible,
while itimposes no limit 20 the amount of
damages which may be awarded in case of
injuries not resulting in death, is the oc-
casion of rather strange suit just brought
againstthe Chicago Rock Island & Pacific
railway company. A boy who was injured
in an accident on that road two months
ago died on the 9th instant, but less than
