The Street Lights.

There appears to be little mis-
understanding on the part OF some
of the residents of the village as to
the terms offered by the Woodstock
Electric Company for furnishing
lights another year. The company
has offered to renew the contract of
last year for $3.50. This is sixteen
dollars less than it received last year
If the village desires extra service
after IL. 80 Il. M, the company offers
to furnish additional service to :
o'clock in summer and till 4 o'clock
in winter, an average of three hours
per night, for $l5o. This would
increase the cost of the lights about
Al cents per night. In the event of
there being insufficient water power,
however, which occasionally occurs
during the Summer, the company
could not undertake to run the lights
later than ago, but this would be
only for brief periods.
In an interview Friday repre-
sentative of the company stated that
the company would feel obliged to
discontinue the lights on Monday
evening unless in the meantime some
arrangements are made for renewing
the contract, or unless Il call for Il
special village meeting to consider
the matter is issued, in which event
the lights will be continued pending
the decision of the people of the
village.

MILLIONS TO BUY GRAIN.


President Stickney, OF the Maple Leaf, se-
cures Backing for His Great Project.
ST. PAUL, Mimi. Sept a-When he
was before the interstate commerce
commission six weeks ago, President
S'ickney Of the Chicago Great Western
railway, told Of the existence Of two
corporations-the Iowa Development
Co. and tine Anglo-American Grain &
Provision Co.-and explained that the
ownership Of the companies and the
Great Western railroad were prac.
tically identical, and that his
great plan was % convince eastern
capitalists Of the opportunities which
lay in great railway and elevator
system, Of which the two companies
and his railroad were to be the nu-
cleus. 1t is said Sticknev has about
$4,000 900 necessary to the furtherance
OF the plan. 1t may be briefly stated
that it is the intention Of the enter
prise to erect series Of great eleva-
tors, reaching from the west 10 the
seaboard, the first Of which is
now in process Of construction
at Kansas City, one each at
St Joseph, Omaha, Leavenworth,
Topeka and Minneapolis, with two
large terminals at St. Paul, one at Buff
falo and one at Liverpool. 1t is said
the three corporations will be prac-
tically consolidated, and between buy
ing and handling, will control the
grain and provision trade Of the south.

AN APPEAL FOR FUNDS.

P0pulist National Committees Reason
Why the Party Should be Supported.
WASHINGTON, Sept. "a long ad.
dress and appeal for funds was issued
from the populist headquarters to-day.
In opening it declares that it was the
first party to demand laws against the
encroachments Of monopolies and
claims credit for the revolt Of the
masses Of the democratic party, which
resulted In the turning down Of the
Cleveland administration and its Brit
ish financial policy and the nomination
Of William J. Bryan on platform de-
handing financial independence for
the United States" 1t continues:
The mission Of the party is to restore the
government to the people. The peoples party
has nominated Mr.. Bryan for president and
Mr.. Watson for vice president, which Is not
only the true cooperative ticket for the silver
voters Of all parties to unite upon. but which
is also the best silver ticket in the field. Our
friends must not abste one jot or little Of their
interest and efforts to advance the principles
Of the peoples party simply because an
other party has been forced to adopt
nearly all Of our principles Had 1t not been
for the peoples party each one Of the old
parties would this year have been running
gold bug for president as they have In each
campaign for the last 70 years. The peoples
party has made this political revolution posi-
BILE, and Its continued existence and growth
are necessary to secure reforms for which the
popullsts and silver democrats are alike con-
tending IN this campaign.
