The youngest Of these franchises
above was granted in 1893, and this in
Columbia at a time when they were
threatened with removal of the uDiyeI-
sitY by the legislature, and when they
were compelled to pay SIS % per by
drant for city water in order that they
might say to the legislature that they
had fire protection. Private consumers
were equally at the mercy Of the com.
pany. Jefferson City can be pardoned
for charging boarding houses Sl.50, a
they only have a chance once in two
years.
COlumbia's rate for residences land

and small homes have the advantage
over those in Lexington) is Sl.0O per
room up to 8 rooms. LexingtOn's is
$500 for a /, 2, "a. s or 8 room house.
1t is not unfair to say that there are
more consumers Of water in Lexington
for the i've purposes named in the
table than for any other i've for
which rates are given. So much for the
charge Of unfairness made by the News
But there ara some other features about
this ordinance 10 which / should like 10
call your attention. q
Section s provides that the mayor
shall have the privilege of giving away
$50 barrels of water. There an be nd
objection raised TO this section. .sSmal

Section 8 provides that "any persoI
OF persons, not residing within tw,
hundred and fifty feet distance Of an,
water main shall be privileged 10 bu,

The great bulk OF our citizens ar

Teachers, Recital. Central College.

Itdcntie hcCltdis NchtiaA NViioSV.
The teachers of the school Of music Of
Central College gave a brilliant recital
at the music rooms of the college, Mon
day night. The programme began
promptly a few minutes after eight, at
which time every chair in the room was
taken. We have enjoyed all the
musicals given by this school, but we
believe the present one was in some
respects superior to all Others. The
only fault that we can find is with the
lack Of room. The entertainments are
always crowded.
The first piece on the programme was
''Concertstueck' in F minor, by Weber,
given by Prof. Conrad. Those who
have ever heard him play need not be
told that this was a most enjoyable
number; but We can say that this was
one Of the very best selections we have
ever heard him give, and when he closed
there was long continued applause, The
popular performer bowed his acknowl-
Judgements. but refused TO accept an
lencore.
The second number was "Ave Maria
by Bach-Gounod, q vocal selection, by
Miss Penn. She was accompanied on
the violin by Prof. Stark, on the organ
by Prof. Conrad and on the piano by
-
Miss Estle, The prelude, on these
three instruments was a beautiful
Introductory to the grand song, Miss
at its best when she gives 1t full power.
With these three instruments she easily
held her own, filling the room with
melody. A prolonged effort was made
to recall her but she refused to return.
Miss Jennings rendered the Hun
garisn Dance, by Brahms, in a most
captivating manner. 1t was a splendid
selection and she gave it as though she
thoroughly enjoyed it herself. She
seemed to be playing for her own enter.

The following are the farewell
words Of Col. A. S. Frost to the gal
liant lst South Dakota regiment as
delivered in his last order:
"Officers and men of the lst South
Dakota Infantry: We are about to
sever our relations as officers and men,
commander and commanded. and |
desire to thank yeu for the discipline
and valor, loyalty and endurance
which won 80 many victories and
withstood so many trials. You have
written page in the history of your
country and state which will shine as
long as your soldierly qualities appeal
to the hearts of men. You, deeds,
blended with the names of our heroic
dead, can never be forgotten. You
have been tried by the supreme test
of manhood and can face the future
without fear. Go to your homes,
apply the same discipline and con-
stancy and win the victory of peace" !"

Company X Greeted by y Vast Crowd
of People.
1t was a great disappointment to the
vast crowd of people assembled in the
city to learn that the train which was
to bring the soldiers home would like
ly be very late, and it was difficult to
entertain the visitors or keep down
the pent up enthusiasm manifested by
everybody. For several hours street
sports were INDUCED in, and at four
o'clock the grand parade of the G. A.
r., public school children. cadets,
drum corps and BrOokings band took
place. Each department Of the city
schools was provided with an elabor-
ately decorated tioat. The different
departments also had appropriate
notices, and their sweet songs were a
pleasing feature along the line Of
march.
Immediately after supper the band
came out and entertained the throng
of people, while the committee kept
up a continual display of fireworks
until eleven o'clock, when a heavy
thunder storm set ia and drove every
body under cover for an hour.
That the soldier boys were delayed
In their homecoming is a matter of
general regret. But had they arrived
in the afternoon instead OF at mid
night, as they did, their reception
could not have been any more enthus-
iastic or more cordial than it was at
that hour. The depot platform was
black with humanity and the streets
were lined with enthusiastic people
eager to catch glimpse Of the re-
turning heroes.
When the train pulled in from
Huron the boys were greeted by one OF
the grandest demonstrations ever
seen in the history Of the city.
Whistles screeched, bells rang, music
filled the air, and people yelled them
selves hoarse, while the college artil.
lery doomed forth welcome from
their deep throatsd guns. Amid a
perfect shower Of fireworks and a
blaze OF colored lights, the veterans
were escorted to the G.. A. r. hall,
where magnificent feast was spread
THEBANQUET.
Owing to the lateness Of the hour
the program, which had been arranged
was made as short as possible. j. p.
Chesver presided as toastmastsr and
acquitted himself as IL to the manner
born. The Judge is an ideal toast.
