cost from $2l 900 to $4,000. He saw
no use in voting $4,000 to build q
$24 900 plant.
Alderman Fowler agreed with this,
and stated that the city could not dc
commercial lighting with a $4,000
plant.
The matter was uthen dropped fol
the present, and the usual bills were
allowed.
The light question was then taken
up again, and the city recorder read
an. ordinance submitting the matter
to vote of the people.
Alderman Fowler stated that 80 out
of 100 of the people want the city to
put in a plant, but the merchants who
want this want commercial lighting.
This latter cannot be done with a
$4,000 plant. He would favor voting
$4,000, so as to do what the people
want. If the city puts in plant it
Will indefinitely postpone an electric
street Car line.
Alderman Peterson said that the
amount over $4,000 could be raised
by direct taxation. He favored do
ing only city lighting at this time.
Additions to the plant can be made
later.
Alderman Fowler said that the
people who signed the petition
thought that they would get CONNER
cial lighting cheaper. An outside
company could light the city at less
than cost, on account of the valuable
franchise.
Ed. Austin stated that he got some
of the names on the petition and that
they did not expect to get CONNER
cial lighting.
Alderman Fowler declared that
nine out of ten signers expected COM
mercial lighting. He would like to
have the matter postponed until the
people could express themselves on
the question of city or commercial
lighting.
Alderman Peterson said it would
save from $500 to 5000 to have the
question voted on the spring election
instead of special election.
Alderman Fowler said that he
would like to leave the question to
the next council. He was getting
about all he wanted with the matter.
Alderman Bashaw moved that the
matter be postponed until the next
regular meeting. He said that the
reason for this motion was that the
council had been abused a great deal
on account of it, and he hoped to es-
cape it by postponing it.
City Attorney Young stated that
two damage suits against the city are
on the calendar for trial in the dis
trict court, and he wanted the coun-
Gil committees to be on hand.
The council then adjourned.

The Martin county Sentinel profess
ses to believe that the opponents of
free and unlimited coinage of the so
cent silver dollar have lied about the
silver agitation destroying the credit
of the United States, and cites in
proof thereof the sale of the last issue
of bonds in London at a profit of some
8 per cent. at time when the Jones
bill for the free coinage of silver was
before the senate with all probability
of passing. This last is all true But
the Sentinel should remember that
while the senate is badly off on the
question of honest money, there would
not have been much show for the bill
to have passed the house had there
been unlimited time, and even had it
passed the house it would have met
with the presidents veto. This is
what has preserved the nations
credit and saved it from the ruin the
silver extremists and Democratic
laundering would give it.

to him by his attorney. His attitude
was good deal like that of a wealthy
capitalist forced by subpoena to testify
to some trivial matter before police
court. He did not remember a great

PATIENTS.
Notice to Inventors.

There was never a time In the his
tory Of our country when the demand
for inventions and improvements in
the arts and sciences generally was so
great as now. The convenlences of
mankind in the factory and workshop,
the household, on the farm, and in Of
ficial life, require continual accessions
to the appurtenanees and implements
of each in order to save labor, tim.
and expense. The political change in
the administration Of government does
not affect the progress OF the Ameri-
can inventor, who being on the alert,
and ready to p~receiye the existing de-
lciences, does not permit the affairs
of government to deter him from
quickly %conceiving the remedy to over
come the existing discrepancies. Too
great care cannot be exercised in
choosing a competent and skillful at
torney to prepare and prosecute an
application for patent. Valuable in
tcrests have been lost and destroyed
in innumerable instances by the en-
ployment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" system. Inventors who intrust
their business to this class of attorneys
do so at imminent risk, as the breadth
and strength of the patent is never
considered in view Of quick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain the fee
then due. THE PRESS CLAIMS
