and several members clamored for permission
to speak.
President Mcclure said that, while he
thought it perfectly right that all should
have chance to express their views, es
pecially in view OF the fact that the com
mittee's report put the water duplicate at
Sl3.0 900 and the Auditors report put it al
S1l ,00O and the latter included three months
after the close of the fiscal year, still mo-
tion for the previous question was not de-
batable and-he was sorry to bo obliged to cut
off the members
Mr. Straughn asked permission TO speak on
question of privilege but President Nc
Guire regretted that the motion had preced-
ence Finally the motion was put and de-
feated
Mr.. Straughn then spoke on Mr.. Hsrkins'
motion and said he did not sign the commit
tees report for several reasons. The committee
was supposed to meet on Wednesday evening
and member of the committee told him the
meeting would not be held, nevertheless the
committee did meet and drew up the report
presented, Notwithstanding the fact that the
proposition on the table was not in their
hands and they had no knowledge Of it.
There are various discrepancies in the report
and he would not attach his name to it. 1t is
Rarbled statement Mr. Straughn then
said he would neither vote to lease, nor sell,
nor for anything else in connection with the
water works until the people Of the borough
should say Council could do it, But,
nevertheless, he would not sign the report
presented, because it was not correct and does
not state the true circumstances of affairs in
connection with the water works, as has been
shown by members of Council.
Finally Mr.. Harkins withdrew his motion
and moved that the proposition be laid on
the table indefinitely, and that the COM
mittee's report be referred back to have a
more accurate report presented. This mo-
ton was carried.
On motion of Mr.. James the water COM
mittee was instructed to advertise for two
sizes of water meters, one hundred of each
kind.
President Mcclure announced that the
term of DIR. S. c Spalding, as member Of

The wisdom of the beers in taking
the offensive, when they saw war inev.
liable, is now manifest. Great Britain
is having far more serious task than
was looked for in subd uing these sturdy,
rastic people. Humiliations such as
rarely fall to English arms have been
suffered; and the situation is now most
critical. Wherever ones sympathies
may be in this struggle, there can be
but feeling of sorrow for the brave
English soldiery who are suffering the
hardships and the deadly fatality Of
this war, and the world can but admire
the unity, the courage and the military
ability displayed by the beers. But
having put her hand to the plow Eng
land can not turn back. She mus,
fight long and bloody war, and
ultimately triumph. She must pour il
more troops and overcome the boer'
by sheer force Of numbers and re

What he then predicted has already

DIR. EIKER's s STATEMENT.
Dr. Eiker, when seen soon after his
arri val in the city, said:
Petitions were presented to me by
the opposing senatorial factions in the
county, ,showing the relative strength of
the sides. They we're given till mid.
night Of December 20 to complete the
showing and the result was given out as
soon as possible. Both sides were
given fair opportunity to make their
showings; during the campaign had
made practically q house.to house can.
vass Of the country and believed l
knew something Of the feeling of repub.
iicans. After my personal canvass,
and in view of the showings that were
made by the petitions, believe the ma
jority of representative republicans in
the county are for MIR. Cummins for sen.
ator, although it is true that the county
is decidedly divided. If the sentiment
Of the people of the Eight district
could he taken, | am confident Mr..
Cummins would have majority. AS a
result of the showings that have been
made to me, am ready to announce
myself for Cummias for senator and
Eaton for speaker"
DIR. Elker, in the campaign last fall,
ran against d. +. Lambert of Lamont.
The campaign was hot one, the demo.
Gratis being confident that they would
win. But DIR. Eiker made such cam.
paign as has seldom been made in any
county, and was elected by majority
of ZIG votes. He received the largest
majority Of any man on the county
ticket except one, the candidate for
coroner, for whom the majority was 240.
DIR. Eiker was accompanied to Des
Moines by B L. Garrett, deputy
county treasurer Of Decatur county,
who has been one Of fthe prominent
managers of the Cummins movement.
Mr.. Garrett expressed the opinion that
without doubt the majority of the re.
publicans in the county are for Cum
minis. He added that the eighth dis
trict is not overwhelmingly for Gear as
has been represented, but that fair ex.
preston, such as was secured in Decatur
county, would indicate majority fol
Cummins.
