WASTE WATER BILL.
Presented to the City by the Mill
Company.

IN the last bill rendered by the Mime
apolis Mill company to the city was an item
for excess of water used in May. and for
which charge OF 81. l3i was made. About
the same time the st. Anthony Falls Water
Power company made a charge of 1894 for tx
cess water. The bills caused much resent
ment among the waterworks officials. for a.
the time the city was charged with using too
much water, millions of gallons were going
over the falls every day.
The water for which the charge made
USED at the West side and East side
pumping stations, not for SUPPLYING the city,
but for power. The city is entitled 20 the
use of four mill powers on the West side, for
which it pays $500 per Year. When the
staten is run at its full capacity four mill
powers is wholly ina adequate, and an extra
assessment is made by the mill company
which controls the power derived from St.
Anthony Falls. In this particular bill the
city exceeded it's limit during twenty-:iX lays
of May, the excess amounting to 81 mill pow
ers day, or E2c.2 for the month. which, at
So per power, foots up 20 total of 81, 13l.
The water works officials protest indignant
1y against the charge. and ask sarcastically
why the two companies do not send bi t.
tie government for the water that goes over
the falls in the spring freshcts. They are
quite willing to concede that the companies
have the control over I'll the water in the

spends a great deal of her time prac-
ticing the tricks I had already seen,
and trying to invent others.
Bicycles and parts of bicycles were
scattered around the room, but these
were being rapidly packed away neat
ly. and soon there was room to sit
down. Miss Wheeler chatted with me
for some time, and from her I learned
that she commenced cycling at very
early age. Then she practiced various
methods Of riding, but the serious bus
mess of life took her away from cy
cling for some time. Her first appear
ance was made in Liverpool, where. as
an eccentric Scotchman in kits and
well-worn knees. she made hit. She
toured England, went to Paris. and
subsequently appeared at most of the
big halls on the continent. She visited
in turn Rome, Odessa, Warsaw. Leip-
zig, Berlin. Copenhagen and Brussels,
at each place having long and sue
cessful engagements.
MENELIK SAW HER.
In Odessa, King Menelik, of ;Abys-
sinia saw her perform and appeared to
be highly amused. but with the excep-
ton of incidents with lost luggage she
met with no startling adventures. Then
she came back to- England. Later Miss
Wheeler went to Paris and appearing
at cycle exhibition there, found from
the manner in which she was received
that her show was a success. From
thence she went to Lyons, and after
wards such was her success that she
toured the whole of the South Of
France, and subsequently went to Mad
rid Once at Lille the railway COM
pany lost her machine and she was
unable to perform for several nights,
but as a general rule matters went very
smoothly.
