this favor was asked them-to take
water from us for the road. To this
they assented and contract was ready
to be signed to pay us $500. per year
for five years for the privilege of water
supply.
Thus at the expenditure of $780,.
we would not only have gotten Mr..
Patrick's land, but would have gotten
over 100 per cent. per year from the
railroad company. That they would
do this is proved by the fact that the
tank was loaded and ready for ship
ment last Monday. That they will
not do this if the pipe line is not ex-
tended is proved by the fact that on re-
ceipt of the news that the order for
pipe was to be revoked, the car was

Reed who has entire control in this
matter, will verify these statements.
A majority of the Board including

A small minority oppose it. The
Board at its meeting Tuesday evening
resolved that if the citizens of this
town wanted to lose $500. per year
they should have the privilege of doing
it, and therefore revoked the order for
the pipe. The threat of an injunction is
mere child's play and had no influence
in the matter. No court in the land
would grant an injunction when the

Board Matters.


Board Of City Commissioners hell
last Tuesday evening, a letter wa
read from Mr.. John T. Patrick
Withdrawing his acceptance of 8

ago by the Board in regard tc

etc. On motion it was resolved to
countermand the orIer for pipe 10
supply the three lots on Iowa ave-
nue. to Mechanic street with water.
Referring to the above matter May
or Gladmon says:
When Bynum, before he degeuer-
ated was called before the House to
be censured by Reed, he replied II

or" That is the way the present
Board without an exception has re-
garded the censure of a certain clique
ever since they were installed in office,
up to the present time. Their COM
plaisance under fire reminded me of an
old watchman of a saw mill I once
knew. AS long as the mill with it's
roar and hum was running, he could
sleep like the dead, but the instant
the machinery stopped he awoke
And so the Board felt that as long as
the noise of criticism filled the air they
must surely be doing their duty and
that all was we'll.
But the past week has seen some
what of change in conditions. These
self-aprointed critics have been unex
pectedly reinforced by two members of
the Board and intoxicated with Joy
at this accession they have worked
themselves into an hysterical frenzy
that would be sublimely ridiculous,
did it not have such serious side.
Everyone must have thought the
town S future and thousands of dollars
were at stake. To be exact, the pro-
posed work which has caused all this
weeping and wailing and crashing of
teeth, would have cost $40.
Now let us for few moments study
the facts.
Mr.. J. T. Patrick is attorney in fact
for company that own large guam
tity of land adjacent to our water sup
ply. Mr.. Patrick believed that if the
water supply was made convenient to
his lots, number of buildings would
be erected, that of co urse, would ben

with resting this offer on the advan-
tages that would accrue to the town,
Mr.. Patrick went further and offered
as an additional recompense twelve
acres of the most picturesque land in
town as public park, and half block

AN ELEGANT COSTUME.
A~n'exquisite ltoque flared from the face

which was set large red roses. It's top
was trimmed with yellow roses, black
velvet bows and plumes.
This elegant costume. was worn by one
of the most fashionable women in New
York, during her visit to PARTS. She was
itone of the party which everywhere &C.
companied Mrs. George Gould on her
rounds in Paris.
After turning out a gown of this kind,
the clever modiste who made 1t cum

cisely as good in effect without the cost.

THE CLOTH
SU|T| Of
=: EARLY FALL

Paris, France. The cloth suits of early
fall are ~marvelously pretty. When the
exposition turned from a general ex-
hibit into a dress parade, the modisteS
suddenly sprang to their needles; and
marvels were quickly turned out in the
dressmaking line. Such lovely gowns
never were seen as appeared here in the
early part of September.
The new dress materials, from which
these gowns were evolved. were of a fine
grade of cloth resembling nothing as
much as cashmere 1t was not close
enough for ladies' cloth and by no
means solid enough for b%roadcloth. 1t
shops, buu you recognized it after all as
cashmere and nothing else.
There is a lovely new shade of blue
which is called "tendre," and there is
another which is musicians blue: the
former Is as pale as the latter Is deep:
the two combine exquisitely. endre blue
makes the most charming costumes;
and If we'll combined with deeper shades
they are beautiful for wear all the
season.
A gown of this delightful blu was
made with a tight fitting bodice. SO tight
without a particle of leeway for blouse
effect. The sleeves were tight at the top
and fitted thea arm very closely until they
suddenly belled out at the hand.
!. The bodice had an eccentric trimming
