If this city. At the last meeting of
he city council, held last Tuesday, an
ordinance passed its first reading
granting to Fred Il. Evans, jr., the
franchise for waterworks for the city,
Aldermen Turner and Marty, of the
First ward, voting for its passage.
Nearly every citizen in the First and
second wards had signed q petition
asking that the franchise be granted

aer and Marty said they would vote

that company. When they voted
against the franchise presented by said
company and for one in favor OF Fred
/. Evans, ir, everyone seemed for n
moment stunned, and Turner and
Marty were openly accused by
al of their hitherto friends
Of selling out, and they were
openly and publicly dubbed DOODLE
aldermen, A public Indignation meet
ing was held in the First ward and was
largely attended and a committee was
appointed to invite the accused alder
men to come in and give an account OF
themselves. They both responded bu,
attempted to give no explanation OF
their conduct and they again had to
take the gibcs and insults of their con
stituents.
A petition was circulated and signed
by nearly every citizen Of the First
ward asking Turner and Marty to re-
sign as their services as aldermen 10
that ward were no longer wanted.
Another mass meeting was held and q
committee appointed to present
the petitions to the aldermen
and request their immediate resigna
ton. The committee reported that
Turner positively refused TO resign
and Marty asked until today to consi
der the matter. There has been much
talk of lynching and of tar ans
feathers, but it is believed that the bet
ter judgment of leading citizens will
prevent any acts of violence, but 1t il

munity become more desperately II

The falling off in the assessment of
real and personal property for the past
three years is nos due TO the decrease
in the value of property, as it is n well
known fact that farm lands in South
Dakota during this time have doubled
in value. This is a very conservative
estimate and car be substantiated by
anyone who has owned property in
this state. The high assessment In
1890 was brought about by the state
board of equalization making n raise
on the assessment as returned by
county boards OF equalization. This
raise was made owing to the fact that
the constitution of the state limited
the levy for state purposes TO 2 mills,
and this was thought inadequate to
meet the necessary expenses OF run
ming the state government on the
low assessment returned, The rails
ing of this assessment by the state
board caused so much dissatisfac-
ton throughout the state that the
state board refused to ever again raise
the assessment, and the assessment
returned by the board in 1890 and 1891
was practically as returned by the
county boards of equalization. The
decrease of nearly 100000 IN INC
assessment Of 1892 over the year
previous was owing to defects in the
returns of county assessors. The legis'
lature in 1891 passed a new revenue
law, which was very severe on county
assessors who did not return an assess
ment of all personal property and rea
estate at n good value. This law hao

have gotten over the fear of the new
law and have grown lax in their re

REAL ESTATE RATHER FLAT.
Political Excitement of the Week Left the
Market Dull.

The past week had rather depressing
effect on the resl-estate market, there be-
ing. in tact, little activity in it. There are
sufficient and legitimate reasons for it. how
ever. The week was one of the many similar
which will doubtless come cold and wet,
and with hardly enough sunshine to allow
of the umbrella getting ont of sight, even
for a walk around the square. and il was the
last week before the national election.
Though the campaign has been notorious
ly quiet one. and business has suffered
practically nothing from il during the
earlier stages. yet the last week has
brought q more or less unsettled feeling
and an inclination to hold of, and see how
IJ goes. If it's outcome means change of
administration il protends radical di fer
eDce from the present In business methods
and In the currency of the country, and not
few men OF means prefer TO freeze TO what
they already have than to make any change
before the question Is decided for good.
The dealers are content with the present
from the fact that the past has been so
good, and Judge the future by that past.
The transfers of the week. while they show
fairly large aggregate, are entirely COM

games, and the unexpected good showing
of the green men hiss stirred mp their en-
and brought them out once more.
The most encouraging event OF the year
No other college has been able to score
against the formidable Lafayette men for
the last three years. and the Butler team
was in comparatively bad condition when
the score was made.
De PAW has an excellent foot ball or
ganization this year. but IL has done very
little playing from which to estimate It's
strength. The eleven's first game was
with Ann Arbor. and IL made very good
showing against that team. and might have
won had the entire time been played out.
De PAW is working this year for the
championship. One of the stron gest points
of the eleven is the tremendous rush line,
in the center of which stands Captain
smith, with go pounds of body. and long
experience in football. Behind the line
are also swift and dashing half-bacKs. The
whole organization Is sound ana mas peon
UNDERGOING coaching all season. Butler
will not suffer from lack of weight this
year as last. however. The rush-iine Is
also very heavy aud solid, though perhaps
not so heavy as the De PAW line. back
of the line all the men are experienced
ability is well known. and Somerville. q
young player who used to captain the In
dianapolis High-school eleven, and has
shown himself to be one of the most brill
iant players on the Indiana football field
this year.
The game will be struggle for second
place among Indiana colleges. Unless De
PAW has developed unex pectedly, Pur-
due has u pretty certain thing of easily
carrying off the Indiana pennant this year.
Butler dropped from first to third place last
year. and IL eager to get back her old po-
eition as the only rival of Purdue. DePauw
hopes for the pennant. and will, Of course,
do everything to prevent putting this eff
fectually out of reach before the final game
with Purdue Is played. The chances arc
with DePauw and the odds are against
Butler. but the prospects, are, neverthe-
less, for q very interesting game, much
more interesting than Was thought early
In the season.
