An ARGUMENT against the city
constructing the light plant is that
it lnterferes with private enter
prise.
Does not Logan educate Logan
children? That interferes with
private enterprise. Logan main
tains Logan streets. That's an in
terferance with private enterprise.
Logan pays two mills for street
improvement and three mills for
street lighting. 1t is very wrong
indeed for Logan to make the
light she uses, when, it only costs
$4,000 a year to pay some one
else to furnish it. In short, the
matter is this: We can make our
own light. 1t costs So, 900 a year.
Shall we pay ourselves $4,000 or
pay Rempel? Which is the bet
ter plan for us to adopt?

SECRETARY Noble, in his testi-
mony IN the Ranm case, an
nOunced a new rule OF aciion IL
the matter of dealing with dis
honest public servants. He said
that in view Of young RAUM's
relationship 10 the com missioner
he permitted him, alter his dis
honesty had been discovered, to
draw his salary from The govern
ment and retain his place until
he could secure another position
This is a moral rule as unique
as novel in America. 1t would
generally be accepted that
RAUM's relationship 10 the COM
missioner aggravated rather than
miiigated his offense.

ELECTRIC LIGHT.

The question of Electric Light
is foremost at this time, in all the
municipalities of our country. 1t
is agreed that it is the light of this
age. How to best secure it, is the
prominent public question, whether
by the incorporation, or by private
companies.
In Cincinnati the matter super
cedes all other public questions.
Geo. Hickenlooper, the head of the
Gas Co., (he also established the
Logan Gas Co. has organized an
Electric Light trust, in other words,
has combined and has under his
control, all the Electric Light Com
panies of the city, and proposes to
charge what he pleases. This of
course has caused racket Inves-
tigation shows that the average
cost per street lamp in hundred
or more cities is less than S105, 90,
while Hicklooper proposes to
charge s144,00. Investigation
shows that in towns where the
plant is owned by the town the
average cost is s6o.1s per lamp.
This is for all night burning. 1t
is held that 80 lamps are sufficient
for all night light in Logan. At
10000 per lamp, that would cost
us s1s0O,oo per year. Now we
pay ssOoo,oo. Again, saving to
thetown in Electric light of $780,
90. The intesest on a bond of
500, 900 at five per cent is $1,000,
or $500 year less than the cost
of the light at the price of $50. per
lamp. But suppose we pay this
cost of slsoo.oo per year to our
selves, we must pay it to some one,
we are taxed. The street Lighter
gets the money. Suppose instead
of paying our s1soo,oO to Tom,
Dick and Harry, we pay it to
Logan, pay it to ourselves,
Is there any business in that?
The Council have before them
a petition signed by representa-
tives of seventy five per cent of
the business men and tax payers
of the city asking that the Legis-
lature be memoriolized, praying
for an enabling act.
The petition should be acted on
at once, the request sent to the
and bill introduced.
An enabling act is not mandatory.
1t simply gives the Council if the
Council feel so disposed, to have
a vote taken by the people, saying
whether or not the town shall issue
bonds and establish the plant. The
matter is then left to the tax payer,
the people. We are willing to trust
our municipal affairs to the honesty
and the judgement of the people.
Let the Council take action, as
the people demand or show reasons
why the will of the people should
be disregarded.

An Oil Well Found.
Macarthur EnQulrer.l


The water of the well in the
rear of the Vinton County Nation
al Bank has recently acquired a
coal oil flavor, and Tuesday morn
ing Mr.. Dan Will concluded to
see if it would burn. A piece of
paper was set on fire and dropped
into the well, which is about
twenty feet deer. A pretty live
ly blaze followed and the fumes
were Enthusiastically those from
coal oil combustion. How the
oil got there is question. Some
people believe a lot of oil has been
dumped into the well, while a few
are of the opinion that the leakage
from oil barrels in the ware house
and stores near by has found its
way into the we'll. Still others
think that the oil may come from
the depths below, as petroleum
has been found in small quantities
in this vicinity. There is also
now dispute as to the character
of the oil, whether it is crude or
refined.
Mr.. Will says that the taste of
oil in the water was noticed seven
months ago, and he ceased to use
the well. During the dry time
last fall he had it cleaned out, but
as the flavor of lamp oil continued
he supposed the petroleum that
adhered to the wall had produced
it. He will probably flood the
well during the first rainy wealth
er in order to get rid of the oil, as
it has spoiled good well of water.
A long pole with a half-gallon
tin dipper was used on Tuesday to
draw some of the water, and the
vessel came up with quarter to
half inch of oil upon the water.

The Creamary Business.
from the Athens Journal |

This section has been flooded
with circulars, sent out by CHI
cago firm, giving an alleged ex-
pose of the scheme under which a
creamery company was organized
at Hebbardsville and which is be-
ing worked in this neighborhood.
1t may simply be the outgrowth
of business rivalry but the subject
is attracting much attention all
over the State and the farmers of
Athens county should investigate
the matter thoroughly before
signing a contract which binds
them to purchase thousands of
dollars worth of machinery.
That all is not lovely in the
business is evidenced by the fol
lowing dispatch, clipped from the
Columbus Daily Press.
swINpLING THE FARMERS.
RIcHwooD, February Is.
Editor Daily Press.
There is another swindle going
the rounds of the country in the
shape of cooperative creamery.
Their plan is to come to your
neighberhood and get one or two
of your neighbors to visit one of
these creameries and then hire
them to go around and get their
neighbors to subscribe one hund-
red or two hundred dollars to the
scheme. They usually want five
thousand dollars. Then they put
up building worth about 5000
and put in one of their churns and
a small engine worth perhaps $500
Now that is all you get for your
IS, 900. If this should meet the
eyes Of any wanting stock send
send them to Redwood or Marys-
vile. 1t can be bought for fifty
cents on the dollar from one of
their stockholders. A. T. P.
In ord er to satisfy ourselves as
to the facts in regard to the
creamery business we telegraphed
Hon. H. B. Smith, president of
the Citizens Bank, at Hartford
City, Ind, where Rankin-Davis
company, of Chicago, fitted up a
cooperative creamery about one
year ago, as follows: ''Is Rankin
Davis creamery IN your place
success? Are the farmers salts
fed?" His answer was simply
s'No sir" which covers the ground
fully.
The editor of The JOURNAL
lived at Hartford City for some
years and has personal knowledge
of the country. 1t has about l2O
miles of free turnpikes, good land
and the farmers can reach the
town at all seasons of the year, to
deliver milk. Yet the creamery,
the same system which agents are
trying to introduce here, is pro-
nounced unsatisfactory.
Again, we advise the farmers
to ego slow" and thoroughly in
vestigate the matter before sign
ing contract.

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
Miss Hattie Dyer. Lying at the
Point Of Death, Is Made the
Happy Bride of DR.. G. A.
Parker,

Parker.
[From the Cincinnati Commercial -Gazettel
Columbus, o., Feb. 27.-(Spec-
ial. )-The apartments of Warden
Dyer, at the Penitentiary, were
the scene tonight OF an affair that
is as rule, the most joyous of all
human happenings, but which was
on this occasion sad beyond des-
cription.
1t was the marriage of the War
den's daughter, Miss Hattie Dyer
to DR.. c. A. Parker, assistant
physician of the penitentiary. The
young lady was married on what
is feared to be her death-bed. DR..
Parker and Miss Dyer have been
strongly attached to each other ever
since they were first thrown to-
gether, at the beginning of Warden
Dyer's term of Office, and it has
for some time been an open Sc
cret that they were to be married
shortly after the DOCTORS retire
ment from his present official posi-
ton, which will come in the course
of political changes at the prison
that are inevitable. Three weeks
ago Miss Dyer became i'll with ty-
phoid fever, and she gradually
sank until this evening her weak
ness was such that she could not
speak, although her mind was as
bright as it ever was.
Before she became so weak she
told her parents that she feared
she would not recover, and that
her great regret was in the neces-
sity of leaving life without having
become nearer DR.. Parker than
bis affianced bride. The doctor
naturally felt that the best gift of
all was slipping from his life, and
the suggestion was made by HIM
that he be permitted to marry Miss
Dyer on her sick bed, as, even
should the fever prove fatal, he
would then have the great salts
faction of knowing that she was
his wife. The parents of the
young lady opposed the PROPOSE
ion. but she herself insisted that
he request of her afianced hus-
band be granted, and Warden and
Mrs. Dyer, in Difference to the wish
If daughter whom they might
lot have with them long, with
lrew their objections, and gave
heir consent to the performance
If the ceremony this evening. The
occurred at 8 o'clock in
he young lady's sick chamber,
Rev. 7. A. Sutton. the prison |
officiating. The cham
,er was filled with flowers, lilies
# the valley predominating, and
he ceremony, though short, was
beautifully impressive. Miss Dyer
ay on her bed and DR.. Parker
TODD by her side, while the Chap
ain read the Protestant service.
The young lady was SO weak
hat she could not answer in words
he questions put, signifed her as
ent with feeble motions of the
lead. Only the members of the
Varden's family and official staff
we're present, and every eye was
verfowing with tears when the
'oung people were pronounced
nan and wife. DR.. Parker is a
on of Amos Parker of Logan.
