Judge Crimson has handed down

Judge Crimson has handed down
his opinion in the Silver Greek liquor
license case, sustaining the remOns-
trance. The court held that the saloon
petition was defective in that it did not
state that the signers were free holders,
or that the applicant was a resident Of
Nebraska. 1t was subsequently amend
ed to correct these omissions, but on &C.
count Of the defects in the original pc
tition when signed, the village board
was held to have had no jurisdiction to
grant the license. 1t seems that the
justice in fining Rev. Haywood $25 for
accepting q treat Of liquor in Roth's
saloon made an error, and the minister
will do doubt win his appeal, as the
nature Of the penalty fixed by the
statute takes the case out of the juris-
diction Of q Justice Of the peace, who
has no authority further than to bind
the defendant over to the district court.
This latter case was the outgrowth OF
the controversy over the license.-Cen-
trail City Nonpareil.
Henry Neibor, of st. Bernard, lost
his right eye Thursday Of last week.
While feeding threshing machine the
cylinder threw a straw out. The straw
struck his eye and the end embedded
itself in the eyeball. In pulling it out
some small pieces broke of and re-
mained in the eye. He came to town
and had the pieces removed. The sight
was totally destroyed. He went to
Omaha Saturday to have it examined
and see If there was any hope Of having
the sight restored. The doctors there
said there was no hope for it. Henry
came home Sunday, but returned Mon
day to have the ey eball removed 90 that
it would not affect the other eye. Later
on he will have q glass eye put in. 1t
was very unfortunate accident.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy.
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid Taxa,
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing 10 the
taste and acceptable to the system. Il
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectual!y,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sab
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste. but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA Fig SyRUr
Co. only. In order TO get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations. please,

cent ~ rTou,pt payment a. hIllr ia
than IS and 20 per cent. 81 bills over
that sum. This would reduce the
monthly rental for six lights to S1.53.
When meters are used they are fur
nished free of charge and rate Of one
cent per ampere hour is charged. Upon
this basis the Martins Ferry miami Is
seiI-sustalning, tax being levied only
Ior the street lighting at the rate OF
$3.50 each for arc lights OF 2, O0O-candle
power.
Martins Ferry's fiat rate for electric
! lighting for domestic and commercial
use is said by competent parties to he
even cheaper than gas at IS cents per
thousand feet, which is the rate charg-
ed by the Wheeling city plant.
For commercial and domestic use
Wheeling has no fiat rate. but
all consumption is charged by
meter. In making comparison
of the cost of lighting in
Wheeling and in Martins Ferry. there
fore, it must be done upon the basis
OF the meter rates.
At Martins Ferry one cent per am
pere hour is charged for 100-volt lights.
oiio Al WHEELING Iii SS-1OuIIu cents per
hour for 50-volt lights. Reckoning
from this data, satisfactory conclu-
sion may be obtained. One cent per
ampere hour on 100 volts is the same
as one-half cent per ampere hour on
fifty volts. The Wheeling rate is three
fourths cent per ampere hour on 80
volts, so that the price charged by the
Wheeling Electrical Company is so per
cent higher than that charged BY the
municipal plant at Martins Ferry. In
other words, light service for which
Wheeling citizens are charged Sl.50
can be obtained in the town across the
river for 81, with the additional adj
vantage of better discount for cash
payment.
While there is no intention of preiu-
dlclng any one in the matter, these are
some of the conclusions which the plain
facts proclaim, and which, as stated
will be read with interest by our citi-
zens at this particular time The Mar
tins Ferry plant is new one and is
admitted to have been admirably man
aged, and the Register is unprepared to
say II as fattering a showing can be
made by all plants operated under
municipal ownership.

PARALLEL BRAH
Cost Of Electric Light in Two Cities
Compared.
THE RATES AT THE MUNICIPAL
PLANT AT MARTINS FERRY
ANENT THE RATES OF THE
WHEELING ELECTRICAL COM
PANY AND THE WHEELING
CITY GAS BOARD.

At this particular time when ques-
tons pertaining to the electric light
franchise are being considered by the
people of Wheeling, and the compare.
tive cost of illumination by private and
municipal agencies is being discussed,
1t is not irrelevant to set forth a few
facts as they appear to an unpreju-
diced observer. Both sides Of the
proposition are fairly presented by
actual conditions to be found in this
vicinity and those sufficiently interest
ed may by little investigation and
fguring determine for themselves
whether it is best for a city to engage
in the business of furnishing domestic
and commercial light, or to leave the
matter to the province of private en-
terprise. The Register has frequently
been asked by citizens to furnish some
data upon the question, and it is to
that end that the facts as set forth be-
low are given.
wheeling is not the only city that
has wrestled with the problem. and the
proneness of municipal enterprises to
fall under the ban of political trickery
and manipulation where soft snaps
and big salaries are reserved for party
plumber and appointees are selected
more because of their pull than OF
any fitness or skill for the work they
are required to do, has often prevented
the experiment of city ownership of
electric light plants being tried, and in
other instances has made a failure of
the project when thus attempted The
venture has, however, in many cases
proven altogether satisfactory and
there is no good reason why such at
tempts upon the part of municipalities
to conduct their own affair in the in
terest of their citizens should not prove
beneficial in one case as we'll as another
if managed with business tact and COM
mon honesty. There are many factors
in the arguments pro and con- how
ever, and all these must be weighed in
making up ones judgment in the mat
ter.
Perhaps one of the fairest tests of the
ability OF a municipality to furnish
light to it's citizens is to be found at
Martins Ferry, where plant has been
in successful operation for three years
The results have been fully up to ex-
pectations and the citizens to-day are
getting light for all purposes cheaper
than any other city in this portion of
the valley For 16-candle power in
candescent lights the fiat schedule
is as follows:
For commercial purposes, so cents
each is charged for the first three
lights, As cents each for the next three,
40 cents each for the next three, and
35 cents each for any additional num-
Der per month. For domestic use the
rates are so cents for the first light, 40
cents for the second, 80 cents for the
third, 20 cents for the fourth, and Is
cents each for every additional light.
This will make a monthly rate of $170
for six lights, which is within the
necessities required by the average
household.
The plant also furnishes lamp re-
newals and allows discount of 10 per

greater value than they secured

Recorder Murphy had only one
case before him this morning. that
Of a German who was picked up on
a charge Of Vagrancy. The re-
corder told the man to stand up
and tell what brought him there.
The dutchman said; "From the
best of my recollection, two big po-
liceman were the motive power,
but shudge; | vas not guilty to dose
charges of vagaboudage, ! shust
arrived here and was willing to
work, you shust give me chance

up, said be was not naturalized yet,
and if it was customary to pull a
man off 4 good warm board while
he was asleep at night, he did not
think he would benaturalized but
go back to Shermany to die.
Recorder Murphy read him the
law, told him he was guilty, but
taking into consideration the nice
manner the German government
had assumed as to the Philippine
Islands and the further fact that
they had removed their warships
from Manila harbor, he felt that he
should show some courtesies to
Germans in strange land and he
would let him go this time. The
German was profuse in his thanks.
