The romances of the opening OF the Cher
okee strip will survive after the memory
of its hardships and perls The story OF
one enterprising woman Is already afloat.
She managed by private agreement with
80 women-mads, spnsters, widows--to
secure the right to one square mile. These
AmazOns had their steeds ready, and when
the signal gun sounded each was off pell-
nell to the square mile, whose goodly out
side had previously claimed the notice of
the fair organizer. They reached the goal
and delied all the men in creation to jump
their claim. This square mile they have
chrstened the "Lady's Home" and it is
held in common on the condition that no
man be allowed to set foot on any part
There is probably good deal of amiable
pleasantly in the account of the Lady's
Home and its guards and safeguards, but
it is agreed that since machinery so largely
does the work of western farms there is no
reason why women may not farm to advan-
| tage. In many of the northwestern states
women have taken up quarter sections and
| farmed them alone In Minnesota there
are numbers of instances of women as sue
| cessful farmers. To eastern women the isola-
| sion and deprivation Of those things in life
| that are AS much as meat and drink and more
| than cattle aud lands are Il more serious
objection than fears of manual labor or of
inability to hold the pillow or WELD the
scythe. But whether in the Cherokee strip
or Westminster, the disposition Of women
to become land owners is n significant sign
of the times.-New York Evening Sun

WATER RATES NOT RAISED

The Council will not empower the Los
Angeles City Water Company to raise it's
rates for water at present. The commit
tee to which was referred the Water Com
pany's petition to that effect reported as
follows:
We have examined the petition pre-
sented by the City Water Company and
referred to this committee, asking for an
advance in water rates from that now in
force, claiming that the city has no right
to establish water rates less than the rate
in force at the time the contract between
the city and the Water Company was
made.
We find in the contract which the city
made with the Water Company, June 1868
for thirty years, which contract has some
thing over three years more to run, that
the rates should not be less than the rate
then in force
We find that the rates then in force to
be greatly in excess of the rate which we
established last year, when very material
reductions were made, and at that time
the officers of the City Water Company
were consulted and agreed to only collect
the rates as established by the ordinance;
and in cases that have been called to the
attention of the water committee of the
former Council, where more was being
charged than the ordinance called for. we
made complaint to the company and the
reduction was made to comply with the
ordinance.
In this petition they ask that the rates
be raised, not in all particulars, up to old
rates They have presented an ordinance
and ask to have this Council adopt it,

HIS STAR GONE
The Captor of Wong Chez Claims to Have Been
Treated ShamefuIly

W. E. Turner deputy constable under
Constable Harry Johnston had his ap-
pointment revoked yesterday. TO Her
aid reporter he said 81 think my star
was taken away because l arrested Wong
Chez when the police department did not
want him apprehended. l simply did
what l thought was my duty and l have
not been treated properly"
Harry Johnston told a Herald reporter
that Turner's appointment was not re-
voked because he arrested Wong Chez but
for good and sufficient reasons.
In the first place" said Johnston II
appointed Turner upon the request of
Auble and Hawloy of the police depart
ment and ] have come to the conclusion
that | don't want any Of my men to be
used as stool-pigeons for the detectives.
Turner was too fresh and | don t
mine. When he conceived the idea
of arresting Wong Chez he went
to Sergeant Smith and asked him
if he had a right when he held a
warrant for a mans arrest for a felony
to go through a house in search of the
culprit. Smith told him that inasmuch
as he was my deputy he had better con-
suit me but he astonished the officer by
replying that he did not want me TO
know anything of his intended arrest
of Wong Chee. When this came to my

said and done | concluded to cut off the

Turner was only deputy of Johnston
by courtesy and had nothing to do with
