Village Improvement Association

Some Of the ladies' of Reynoldsvillc
are making an effort TO organize VII
lage Improvement Association in this
place. The object Of this Association
shall be to promote neatness and order
In the town, and do whatever may tend
to improve and beautify the town as u
place OF residence, and keep it in u
healthful condition. The officers OF the
Association shall be II president, two
yice-presidents, secretary, treasurer
and an executive committee. Any lady
OF Reynoldsville may become member
of this Association by signing the con-
stitution and by the annual payment Of
one dollar.
A Village Improvement Association
in Reynoldsvile would make great
change in the appearance of the town
in few years with very small expend-
iture Of money. All the ladies who join
the Association would see to IL that
their properties are cleaned and kept in
good order and that would, doubtless,
induce neighbor to clean up, and 80
the good work would gradually spread.
The Freeport Journal OF last week says:
"There are some things catching as
measles. Last week T. G.. Cornell
cleaned up the street in front OF his res
idence, and straightway +. A. Seitz be-
gan to shine up in front OF his door, and
G. M. Ludwick took a whirl at the gut
ter with a hoe, aud the result was big
improvement in that locality"
A meeting will be held In the Terpsi-
chorean Club room Thursday at 3.OOP. M.
for the purpose OF organizing the Village
Improvement Association, aud 1t is to be
hoped the Association can be organized
with large membership. All ladies'
Of the town are invited to attend the
meeting.

Visited Big Soldier Mine.

A dozen young people drove from
this place to Big Soldier last Friday
evening and spent few delightful
hours in exploring the Big Soldier
mine. The party was safely guided
through the numerous avenues In the
hole In the hill by Patrick Madden.
About the first act after getting into
the 'dusky diamond" region was to
blacken each others faces, after which
a flash light picture was taken. The
''iron men" were not working, but Mr..
Madden made the party as we'll acquaint-
ed with the Iron man" as II the ma
chine had been at work. While getting
ready for the trip to the mines prepara-
tions had not been forgotten for salts
flying the cravings of the inner man,
and good lunch had been taken along,
which was devoured in the engine
house after the excursion through the
mines. The young people returned to
Reynoldsville about the time the town
clock was striking three Saturday
morning. The party was composed Of
town people with the exception Of ".

IN its possession, and the original order Of
Judge Shaw was equally conclusive regard
ing funds on deposit. AS to a restra ming
order, II the company had right to the
money, no order was needed; II 1t did not.
then no order should be made on its appli-
cation.
Opposing counsel persisted in their cun-
tention that Judge Oster's order related
merely to future collections, and the c.tys
representatives, with equal determination,
that the deposit Of $50, COO was made on stpu-
lation at an earlier stage Of the litigation.
Senator White stated that the stay bond
was filed for the express purpose Of ena
bling the company to withdraw the funds
on deposit, a nd held with tenacity that The
stipula ton was In effect for only ten days,
and was merely a temporary exped!ent
adopted during one stage Of the lit.ga ton.
The question was finally submitted to the
court.
In the Pomeroy cases great stress was
laid by Pomeroy's attorneys upon Judge
Oster's decision. which they interpreted
to mean as including all the water peFco-
lating among the boulders and sand Of the
San Fernando valley as In fact part Of
the Los Angeles river.
Mr.. Scott took exceptions to this view of
the case. and said that at certain points
In the valley the subterranean flow of water

their flood to increase immensely the flow Of

streams. This case also went to the court

FINE JEWELRY STORE
H. J. Whitley's Elegant Establish
maut Opeued


II. J. Whitley held formal opening last
evening of his handsomely fitted new store
at Ill North Spring street, which is con-
ceded to be the finest Of its kind In up-to-
date furnishings west Of Chicago. Mr..
Whitley has embodied the desirable fea-
ture of similar establishments Of Paris.
Edinburgh and other European cities
which he has visited and combined them
into the present complete and beautiful
room he now occupies.
The ceiling has been frescoed by hand,
in soft tones Of blue, on which In the new
relief work are cupids and cherubs holding
garlands Of roses that fall to the side walls.
The wall cases and counters are solid oak,
and the showcases birdseye maple, with
French plate beveled glass. The side walls
between the cases are fitted with mirrors
opposite each other that give the effect
of great distance, supported by shelves OF
imported French marble. The counter
cases are Of similar material. The floor
Is Of Minton tiles in conventional design.
and the partition separating the rooms Is
of selected oak, handsomely carved.
Four luxurious little waiting rooms are
furnished with rugs and elegant oak set
tees and chairs, where customers can rest
comfortably in the intervals Of shopping.

which opens private office. The counters
are arranged In a hollow square or oval.
allowing the spectators to pass between
them and the showcase.
The window arrangement Is unique in
this city, being an original design by Mr..
whitley. They give the idea Of distance
and space without the mirror being appa-
rent, and by an arrangement of slides and
pulleys are entered from the floor.
The room last evening was beautifully
decorated with flowers and smilax Sou
venirs were distributed by pretty little
Grace, the daughter of the proprietor. and

COMPLICATED CLAIMS
Water Controversy Brought to Atten-
ton Of Supreme Court

The various suits appealed from the SUI
perior court and involving the numerous
questions relating to the water controversy
of Los Angeles, came before the supreme
court In bank yesterday upon motion for
a restraining order and petition for writ
Of review. The cause of the CITY Of Los
Angeles VS.. the Los Angeles Water com.
pany and that Of the Los Angeles City
Water company VS.. the Superior court were
argued together In the forer oon, and the
afternoon session was consumed in argu-
menlt Of the two suits Of the City Of Los
Angeles vs. Pomeroy ct al. The complica-
items OF these much vexed questions were
explained and re-explalned to the learned
justices Of the supreme bench IN a manner
highly bewildering, the views Of counsel
being equally pronounced and wholly d.
vergent.
The question first brought to the cons:d-
Grafton Of the court was that Of the water
company, outlined In It's application for am
order to restrain Receiver Gibson, the city
interfering with the withdrawal Of funds
amounting to about $4,000, now on deposit
and derived from the collection Of water
rates.
J. 8. Chapman opened the argument for
the company. Under the Instructions Of
Judge Oster, rates paid after the decision
appealed from was rendered were turned
over to the receiver. Funds then on de-
posit, and consisting Of rates previously
collected, were sought to be withdrawn.
the company having given bond In $50, 900
on stay of execution Payment was re-
fused, the bank having been instructed by
the receiver to pay over the money to No
one but himself Afterwards Judge Oster
issued an amendatory order, excepting the
funds IN bank from the provisions Of his
former order relating to the stay bond.
J. r. Scott Of counsel for the city held
that the money on deposit was In escrow
and its payment subject to the final dispo-
sition of the case, being out of the control Of
the water company at the time Of Judge
Oster's decision. This, no claimed. re-
