Kicking Against Gas suuDIx

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LEBANON Ind, Dec. 2.-The City Coun-
ell has decided to take vigorous action
against the natural gas company. 1t is
charged that the company is violating the
city ordinance by not furnishing sufficient
gas for heating and cooking purposes dur
ing the recent cold snap. 1t is also charged
that the company has been charging about
25 per cent more on small heating stoves
than the ordinance rate. The city now pro-
poses to back any consumer who can be
found willing to bring suit for enforcement
of contract. An effort is being made to as
certain if there be any one who is ready
to take legal steps against the company.
1t is contemplated that ultimately the City
Council unless the gas company shows a
disposition to come to terms, will revoke
the present franchise.

MY Dear Mrs. Noss-I wish to express
to you my deepest sympathy. 1t must les
sen your sorrow somewhat to know that
your young husband fell fighting bravely
for his country, the noblest death a man
can know. From the Olympia l watched
the fight that fearful night, and wondered
how many American homes would be sad
dened by the martyrdom suffered by our
brave men, and my sympathy went out to
each and every one of them. Your loss has
been sadder than the others, and / am un-
able to express the sorrow ! feel for you.
The tears came to my eyes as | read the sad
story of the father who never saw his child,
and then the loss of all that was left to the
brave mother. 1t is hard sometimes to be-
lieve, but our heavenly Father, in His in
finite goodness, always does things for the
best, and some day father, mother and
daughter will be Joined, never to be parted.
With my tenderest sympathy, believe me,
your sincere friend,
