to their form. BY doing SO, and by up.

he will do much to prepare the way for
a proper solution Of the lighting prob.
lem In Chicago.
1.-THE LIaHrINa COMPANIES or CHI
cAoo, ESPECIALLY THE GAS COMPANIES,
HAVE TREATED THE PUBLIC MOST
sHAAiEFULLY. THEY SECURED FRAN.
CHIsEs UPON THE EMPRESS STIPULATION
THAT THEY WOULD NOT COMBINE, nut
WOULD COMPETE WITH ONE ANOTHER.
THEY PROCEEDED, HOWEVER, TO FORM
TRUST IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW,
AND THEN, TO AVOID EMBARRAssMENT,
HAD THE LEGISLATURE PASS AN ACT
LEGALIZING THEIR STATUS. MORE THAN
THAT, THEY HAD THE LEGISLATURE
PASS ANOTHER ACT MAKING ANY FUR
TIER COMPETITION WITH THEM PRAC-
TIcALLY IMPOSSIBLE. JUST BEFORE
OFFER WAS MADE by RESPONSIBLE PER
SONS TO FURNISH LIGHT UPON TEnMs
MUCH MORE FAVORABLE TO CONSUMERS
AND THE CITY THAN THE TRUST MAIN
TAIN. THE AGENTS OF THE TRUST PRE-
VENTED THE PASSAGE OF THE oRDI-
NANCE.
Evidently the only relief from the
situation Is In extending the functions
of the municipality. The city has II
municipal electric lighting plant, which
the Mayor and Council, very wisely,
have taken steps to enlarge. Upon Sc
curing the proper authority from the
Legislature the city plant could be still
further enlarged and used In furnish
ing light to private consumers, just as
the city furnishes water to citizens. In
the course of time the city might very
well 60 further and take over the ex'
listing lighting plants and thus control
the entire lighting service OF the city
"a move to secure from the Legisla'
ture authority for municipalities to
| furnish light to private consumers
would meet with hearty cooperation
from the smaller cities OF the State
Many Of them have electric lighting
plants for furnishing public light. They
could just as well as not furnish ligh,
to their citizens, and frequently have
sought from the Legislature the prlvi'
lege Of 80 doing, but without success
In several neighboring States cities

sell light. The cities Of Illinois, es:'S.
cially the smaller ones. should be given
this same privilege. II Mayor Harrison
should name this committee and II
should be successful In securing legis-
lation of this sort It would earn the
gratitude not only Of the people Of
Chicago who protest at being held In
the grasp of the gas trust. but Of the
citizens of the smaller municipalities
of the state as WELL"

A HISTORY OF THE RED CROSS.

B Z. Muzzy, of this city, has OBJ
tanned the agency of Clara Barton S
history of the Red Cross and the work
it has done in relieving misery in all
parts of the world Miss Barton for
nearly a generation has been at the
head and front of organized humani-
tartan Efforts in the old and new world
She is as well known and as highly
honored in England, France and Ger.
many as in her own country, being IN
fact an international figure. Her life
has been a busy and varied one, full of
incidents connected with the organiZa-
ton which she has so long been at the
head, and she has kept faithful re-
cord of what has transpired in its work,
which is interestingly given in this
book. The book is profusely illustrat
ed, and also gives very interesting ac-
count Of the work the Red Cross did in
Cuba, both before and during the war
with Spain 1t is work that should
be in every library, and all should give
it a careful inspection when called on
by Mr.. Muzzy.

PUMPING LESS WATER.
Pump Now Lifts 100000 Gallons Daily,
Against 100000 Last Week.

The notice to water consumers to
stop wasting water, published in the
papers few days ago, has had very
good effect, and the milder weather has
had something to do with the improve
ment. Before the notice was given,
the pump was at work twenty three
hours day, and pumped 1, 400, 600 gal
Ions daily, or within 100000 gallons of
its capacity. Had the capacity been
exceeded, the water in the reservoir
would have drained off and the city
would have been in a bad predicament
in case of fire The pump is now
pumping only 800 900 gallons day,
which is quite reduction from last
week, and it is expected that this
amount will soon be still further
reduced
In speaking of matter today, En-
gineer Koke said: People during the
extreme cold weather left their faucets
open in order to prevent the pipes from
freezing up. Some of them reasoned
that if a stream the size of a pencil was
good thing to prevent this, it would
be still better thing if the Water ran
full force. If everybody did this, it
would take oceans of water to keep the
reservoir full,

STOLE A TEAM.
Bleedhorn Was Driving Back
from Iowa.
Gave the Name of Graft at Fort Dodge,
and VIII be Tied There Before
lie is Given Up.

Gilbert Bleedhorn's success in getting
away with Martin Wiltgen's horse and
cutter led him to follow up the bust
ness of horse stealing. He stole livery
team from Fort Dodge. Iowa, and
started for the Minnesota line, but was
overhauled and taken back to Fort
Dodge by the sheriff. He has been held
to the grand jury at Fort Dodge, and
the authorities refuse to surrender HIM
until they get done with him This in
formation was received by Deputy
Sheriff Chamberlain at Amboy in a
telegram yesterday afternoon, and was
telephoned by him to County Attorney
Hughes 1t had been thought that
Bleedhorn would be brought back for
trial at the present term of court, as it
is believed that the grand jury in
dicted him.
The following dispatch from Fort
Dodge refers to Bleedhorn, although he
pretended that his name was Graft
The dispatch is dated Monday:
&c. Graft, a young man who stole a
livery team from Colby Brothers short
time ago and was afterwards captured
in Minnesota, after an exciting chase,
was shot last evening by Jailer Al Flint
while trying to escape.
Three prisoners were in the cage
when Flint took their supper In. They
had eaten and one of them was putting
the basket through the door when Graft,
who was in the rear of the cage, started
toward the door The prisoner at the
door was brushed aside. and as Graft
placed his weight against the door to
open it, Jailer Flint braced himself to
prevent it.
Flint is small man and was losing
ground when he drew his revolver and
ordered Graft to step back. Instead of
Obeying, Graft pushed all the harder,
and had the door almost open when
Flint fired. The ball entered the right
side of the breast and, passing around a
rib, lodged under the right shoulder
blade.
AT the time the shot was fired,
another prisoner, named Caskey, was
coming to the assistance of Graft, and
it is thought jail delivery was plan
ned. When Flint fired Caskey retired
TO cell
A physician pronounced the acct
dent close call tor the prisoner, but it
thought that he will survive
Sheriff Gerlich did no go further
than Wells, and returned last night,
having been informed of the latest turn
of affairs by telephone.

The government waited until winter
before bringing the remains of the fall

to prevent the outbreak of disease, and
no danger now attends the removal of
the bodies, which are closely sealed in
