CITY WATER RATES.
Majority of Council Committee Rec
ommends the New Ordinance.

The Judiciary committee of the City Coun-
Gil composed of Councilnen Rauch, Allen
and Little, met last night to consider the
ordinance providing for reduction of city
water rates. Messrs. Rauch and Little
signed a report recommending that the or
dinance be passed, and the majority report
will be a favorable one Mr.. Allen refused
to sign the report The committee held a
prolonged session and discussed the differ
ent points Of the ordinance.
Mr. Allen said that one Of his reasons for
refusing to sign the report was because he
had not had sufficient time in which to ex-
anime the question. He said City Attorney
Kern had advised that no hasty action be
taken in this matter The new ordinance
proposes to reduce water rates about IS per
cent. The other two members of the COM
mittee, aided by ex-Justice of the Peace
Smith, who was before the committee vain
ly attempted to point out to Mr.. Allen why
the ordinance should be speedily passed. 1t
was the view of the majority that the ques-
ton of water rates for Indianapolis might
as well be settled now, so that the people
would understand what. to expect. Mr.
Rauch and Mr.. Little were in favor of pass
ing the ordinance and making it a test case
In the courts. Mr.. Little explained that he
was tired of paying S. additional for a
water plug with hose attachment A great
many things at the expense of the water
company were said by those favoring the
ordinance
Ex-Justice of the Peace Smith also la
bored with the committee concerning a res
olution providing for a change in the man
ner or assessing sewer benefits. The reso-
luton urges general taxation on all real
and personal property instead of the pres
ent system. Mr.. Smith urged that a favor
able report be forwarded to the Council
but the committee declined to take any def
mite action. The committee considered the

ZION or the city attorney took no action
This resolution would make it unlawful for

against those outside the organization. The

OF gunboats and cruiser and there are
two German gunboats. The guns of Moro
castle are pointed at us as / write The
whole bottom of the harbor is covered with
torpedoes, so that if they did not want to

well. We are lying between the Spanish
and German men-of-war, and they have
picket boats out all night watching us

The members of the Byron Farmers
Club were entertained at the home of

but they however were happily surpris-

bers who were absent lost treat as we

ing proved to be one of the best of the

Under this rule A. Orr's was selected
for the next meeting. With the enthus-
iasim OF the new members and the pros
pect of many more new members at the

ture for the Burns Farmers Club.

Opinion of an Eminent Jurist.

Ballot reform In New York was neces-
sary, says an eminent jurist, because mere
politicians by trade, who had no interest In
government or politics except to enrich ard
aggraDdize themselves. sought perpetual
control. There are other excellent reforms
beside that Of the ballot. Conspicuous
among them is the reform in dsordered
physical system by HOstetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which counteracts tendencies to serious
disease bred by deiciencyof vital stamina,
irregularity of the bowels stomach, liver or
kidneys, and inqujetude of the nerves.
This sterling medicine. which has for near
ly half a century won popular favor, not
only for its excellent qualities in remedial
capacity, but also for its serviceable proper
ties as medicinal stmuant.
