spring waters in their bones for
drinking purposes.
What objection can there possibly
be to having this same pure water
piped into their homes?
The Waukesha Hygeia Mineral
Springs Company does not desire to
lay any pipes in city streets this year,
so that there would be no interfer-
ance with our thoroughfares during
the Exposition.
When these pipes are laid there
will be no general tearing up, and
when the laying down process is COM
pleted the streets will be put in bet
ter condition, if possible, than be-
fore.
The Hygeia ordinance should be
passed in the interest of the public
health.
That the water is the best in the
world has been attested by the most
eminent chemists in the country, and
It is the water used at the World
Fair in preference to all other kinds.

GILROY Is JEALOUS.
The New York Mayor Says
that Our Streets Are
Dirty.
The Trqth Is They Are Cleaner To-Day
than Those Of ANY Other Amer
lean City.
From Wednesde VS. New York Times

1T IoH w CuMeSuty new 1OFh lIHeS.I
A Chicago paper, in commenting
upon the fact that Mayor Gilroy did
not arrive in Chicago this week, as
had been expected, in the company
of the party of well-knOwn New
Workers who went out there to see
the Worlds Fair, said that Mr.. Gill
roy, next to being the Chief Execu-
tive of New York City, was best
known as Chicagos chief traducer.
1t adds that when Mr.. GIlroy returned
to this city from the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, he characterized
Chicago, in an interview, "as nest
of thieves and extortioners, and de-
nominated the hotels as robbers
TOOstS"
The party that did go out to Chi
cagD included Judges c. II. Van
Brunt, Morgan j. O'Brien and
Charles II. Truax and Thomas f.
Crimmins, Thorn as f. Ryan, Gilbert
W. Spier, Robert Maclay and others.
The Chicago paper states that the
party said that the streets of that
city were in as good and possibly in
better condition than those of New
York City.
Mayor Gilroy's attention was called
to the article yesterday afternoon.
He read it over carefully and said:

much of what has been said there, |

AS to the statement made that the
streets in Chicago were as clean, il
not cleaner, than the streets of New
York, that is nothing but Chicago

went out there said that, they must

ing against the recent utterances of
Mr.. Ward McAllister upon the society

.essary is not to be disputed, mas
much as any smaller edifice would
hardly have accommodated the 1000
or so ,estimable people who Justly

the first families. l am happy to be
able to state that it is not all Of Mr..
McAllister's observations to which
exception has been taken by the
gpeople he criticises. Not a few
of the society leaders of Chicago are
wont to admit, at times, that they
have some things to learn. | under
stand, however, that Mr.. McAllister
has unpardonably offended the large
number of high-living Chicago gen.
tlemen, who think nothing of a $500
wine bill after stag party, and
who feel decidedly hurt to think that
Mr.. McAllister should accuse them,
even by inference, of experiencing
awe at the idea of still wine at SIC
bottle. As Mr.. Sam Alertor
might ask: Is a man who coughs
up the price Of forty quarts of Ruin
art for a punch a-goin to kick at
ten-dollar bill for IA single bottle?

PIERRE, s. D., March 2.-TomOrrOw
is the last day of the legislative session,
and the house is crowded with work.
The senate is we'll up with it's work,and

a general educational bill. The general
appropriation bill is now in conference

The house passed the following
senate bills prohibiting mutual bond

election of supreme and circuit Judges

each political party; the anti-Pinkerton

pools and trusts double the amount Of
the loss sustained from them; bill to
amend the commercial agency law so
that responsible companies can operate
in this state; empowering railroad COM
missioners 10 cause railroads to make
better connections at junction points.
Many bills of only state interest were
passed. Up to tonight ninety bills have
