one hundred hands being employed on
it. This road will, we are informed, be

In the case of Meem against Dulany
the Supreme Court of the State has re-
versed the decision of the lower court.
We do not remember the status of this
case. Last year one phase of it was de-
cided by the Supreme Court in favor of
Meem. 1t grew out of large loan of
money by Dulany to Meem, and the
manner of giving credits and charging
of interest. The farm of Gen. Meem,
which was included in the controversy,
has recently been sold for 100000, and
has been confirmed. We have learned
since the above was written, that the
decision was in favor Of Meem, releasing
him of $4,000 of interest, because of
uSufy.

A dispatch from Shelby, N. Y, relates
a story of a mans life having been saved
by bull. 1t appears that, while the
man was at work in his BARNARD he
was savagaly attacked by large bull.
which he had recently purchased, and
hurled to the ground. He would have
been crushed to death if a bull he had
raised from calf had not rushed to his
rescue by striking the newcomer in the
side with such force that he was knocked
away. The old BULL now terribly en-
ragged, rushed at the other bull again
and drove him into far corner of the
yard, where he kept him until the far>
mer had dragged himself out of the
yard.

RAILROAD FACILITIES.

The twin cities have no reason to
complain about their railroad facilities.
We have communication with the three
principal systems in the state. On the
G. NJ. q st. Paul road we have four
passenger trains daily two north and
two south. On the Green Bay, Winona
q st. Paul railroad, which means the
Northwestern system, We have two
passenger trains east and one west. On
the Port Edwards Centralia and
Northern, which means the Wisconsin
Central or the Northern Pacific, we
have two south and two north and west.
What more do we want? Eleven
passenger trains running in every
direction of the compass ought to
suffice cities of this size. What we
want now is a new depot in Centralia
There is no good reason why we should
not have it. The St. Paul Company
usually provide decent places along
their line for their customers to transact
business in and wait for the arrival
and departure of trains. Their depot
at Centralia is not such a place and
people will not patronize them unless
they provide a decent place in which to
transact their business. Gentlemen
how much longer must we wait?
The extra train service will prove
the right thing and the people here
would feel much more like patronizing
them if they could have a pleasant and
tidy depot to wait for the arrival of
trains. AS it is they are travelling over
those lines which provide pleasant
quarters

WATER WORKS.

AT special meeting of the Common
council in this CITY which convened
Saturday night the city fathers passed
an ordinance giving Thomas E. Nash
and John L. Nash 80 year exclusive
water works franchise The people of
course had no chance to be heard on
the matter and perhaps if they had it
would have made no difference with
the passage of the ordinance. A
question arises however whether the
ordinance is legal one We quote the
following clause
''SECTIoN 10. \ sufficient tax shall be
levied and collected annually upon all
the taxable property on the assessment
roll Of said city of CentraIia, to meet
the payments under this ordinance
when and as they will respectively
mature during the existence of this
contract for hydrant rental, which tax
shall be irrepealable; and in case said
city Of Centralia shall be authorized to
levy any special tax for such purpose.
such tax shall be annually levied and the
proceeds thereof shall be kept as a
separate fund known as the 'Fire
Hydrant Fund" and shall be irrevocable
and exclusively devoted to the payment
of hydrant rentals and shall not be
otherwise employed"
The question arises have the common
council any right under our charter to
pass any such ordinance. We believe
not. Yet they may get the legislature
to leealize their act, but we believe not
without a vote of the people. If the
majority of the citizens want water
works we will make no objection. We
do believe the members of the common
council were little previous in pass
ing such an ordinance without knowing
positively that the people wanted water
works. It's our opinion that if this
question was put to vote Of the people
it would not carry, on account Of the
already high taxes.
