The board of public works some
time ago voted to raise the price of
yard hydrantS, where city water is
not taken for domestic purposes, to
$3.50. 1t has just recOnsidered this
action and placed the price back at
50. This action was due to the fact
that the board thought that the rates
ought to be uniform, especially as
some of those who have simply the
yard hydrants prefer to use well
water for domestic purposes in prefer
ence to paying for house tap. These
are very few in number, however. The
| board has decided to enforce the re-
gulations about the use of water more
strictly than in the past, and those
who use water unlawfully will be shut
off.
-Bankson Bros, of Garden City,
fed 100 bushels of barley and IS
bushels of corn to eighty hogs. The
hogs had no other grain food, and
each gained ia during the time they
were being fed. They were sold for
$40 per hundred, which brought the
Bankson Brothers S42S.64 for their 2O6
bushels of grain. This shows what
can be done with hogs, and the prac-
ticability of turning low priced grain
into high priced hog flesh.
1t should be remembered that
the change in the hour of opening the
postoffice on Sunday went into effect
Sunday. The office will be open
from 900 to 1000 a. NJ, instead from
1900 to 100 p. M, as heretofore. Our
people can thus get their mail three
hours earlier, which will be a great
advantage.

"A. G. Bierbauer has had wide
platforms with ratings at the side
built from the lower fire escapes of
the opera house to the front of the
building, and stairways. This will be
a great convenience in case a fire
should ever break out, as it would per-
nit the house to be emptied at once
and with no danger to anyone.

that real estate is on the move.
