The following from an editorial in

is very suitable reading for some
Lancaster people just at this time:

the first that many of us ever saw,
from the day of election. when it was
carried unanimously in favor of
waterworks (there was only six votes
against the proposition and those six
have been hating themselves and each
other ever since for attempting to re-
tard public improvement.) Every
one of us have known more about hy-
draulics than the ablest civil engineer

THE POVERTY PARTY.
a Good Time fora Coco Purpose in His
toric Beetown.


Last Saturday evening the citizens
Of Beetown and former Beetonians
from neighboring towns assembled in
a Poverty Party for the purpose Of
raising fund, with which to build a
fence around the village cemetery.
The public exercises were held in
Biewett's hall. the first thing on the
program being some excellent iustru-
mental music by Sam Garner and
family. Mr. Garner played the violin.
his son a horn. and his daughters.
two bright misses in their early teens,
played the organ and bass viol. The
music rendered was of high order
aud added much to the evenings en-
Ioymeat. After the music. Chairman
Ritner Stephens announced that the
committee IN charge would proceed
to the collection of fines Then the
fun began. The committee was com
posed of Mrs. James Anderson of Lam
caster and Mrs. Reinke Of Cassville,
assisted by Mrs. Belle ID. Smith of
Beetown and right well did they per-
form their duties. Not ..boiled
shirt, finger ring or piece of jewelry
escaped their vigilant search: neither
did they finch when duty babe them
hunt for rents and patches.
The company were next treated to
charming solo and quartette by
Mrs. John Burns. soloist. Miss Hattie
Gates and Messrs. John Burns and
Richard Pascoe.
Next followed an address by Mr..
Daniel Needham of Lancaster. Among
other things he reviewed the early
history 81 Beetown. making mention
of early settlers and prominent citi-
zens. He called attention to the OBJ
ject of the party in progress and paid
a high tribute to the patriotism and
excellence of character of Beetown
people both past and present. Mr..
Needham's address showed that he
had made careful preparation; his
effort pleased and was appreciated by
his hearers.
After more music, Mrs. Smith read
some interesting letters from people
who could not be present; some of the
letters contained money, among them
being one with five dollars from Hon.
W. j. Mccoy Of Lancaster.
The supper served at the Garner
hotel was bounteous spread. Every
thing thu S0b1i be asked for ws. had
in abundance.
After supper the people again as
sembled in the hall and for two hours
enjoyed themselves in visiting, crack
ing jokes and listening to music.
Among other things C. r. Showalter
perPetrated a joke. 1t seems not to
have been taken as it was intended.
If any took his remarks seriously their
minds should be disabused as what
was said was only in jest. 1t is a joke
that has been current among speakers
for SO long '.that the mind of man
runneth not to the contrary
A vote of thanks was rendered to
the management of the affair for
their efficient services, to ali who had
contributed to the evenings enjoy
ment and especially to Mr.. Needham
for his mastery address.
The occasion was one long to be
remembered; its success was largely
due to the enthusiasm and enterprise
of Mrs. Belle Dudley Smith, who was
its prime mover.
The total receipts were $7451; ex-
penses $3.50. About forty-fve at

Opposition to wsterworks Clutchins Mt
Straws.

Straws.
The opponents Of waterworks have
been holding private meetings. to con-
slider ways and means to Nil the
present waterworks plan II became
noised abroad Monday morning that
an auti-waterworks meeting was in
progress in Col. Clark's office. As no
public notice had been given calling
the people together, there was consid-
cradle curiosity to know who composed
the select eoterie and how they were
called together When they filed
downstairs. however. at the close of
the meeting the nature of the gather
ing was evident, as every man with
one or two exceptions was an oppo-
neat of the councils plans for water
works. 1t seems they had been qui-
city brought together for the purpose
OF beginning injunction proceedings.
vi the doings OF the meeting only
two things have come to light. One
was that another meeting of the same
nature would DE held in the same place
in the evening, and the other that
committee would wait upon the coun-
Gil and ask them to appear aud explain
what they were doing and what they
expected to do in the waterworks busi-
ness.
At the evening meeting Geo w. Ry-
land presided. Some had evidently
been invited who were not present in
the morning. and few came without
invitation. BY previous appointment
the city council were in session in
their own rooms. They declined the
invitation to visit Col. Clark's office.
but invited all Who so desired to visit
them. There was a considerable dis
position to accept the councils invita-
ton, but on the advice that the coun-
ell room was too small to hold the fifty
or sixty present it was agreed that
City Clerk Michaelis should read the
minntes of the councils recent pro-
ceedings and explain what they had
done. This was accordingly done, af-
ter which the old question of the
relative cost and merits of different
systems were argued. Finally the
question of an injunction came up.
It was ably opposed by H. w Brown
and G. II. Baxter. 1t was argued that
injunction proceedings would only pile
up additional cost to the city, no mat
ter what the outcome.
Messrs. CLARK. Pollock. Willis. Riah-
ardson. Schmitt and Walker thought
something ought to bedone if possible
to stop the worS in progress. Mr..
Pollock took the ground that if the
council had proceeded illegally in any
respect. the fcouncilmen would be per-
sonally responsible for any orders or
contracts they have made. w. P.
Stone spoke for moderation and har-
mony.
After majority of those present
had gone a motion was made and car
ried that Col. Clark and Ed. Lowry,
who it is reported had been retained
as. attorneys, should in vestigate and re-
port at subsequent meeting. There
were perhaps dozen votes in favor of
the proposition and none against The
meeting then adjourned.

and the arrangements were due in a
large measure to the skill OF Miss Ger
trude Josten. Dubuque's caterers and
Cassville's best culinary artists CON
tributed to the feast.
Everything about the place down to
the minutest detail bespoke the grooms
loving thoughtfulness for his bride.
The presents were many and chosen
with taste,-many pieces Of silver and

galore.

gratulations for long and happy life
