Throughout all this the prisoner

WATER AND LIGHTS
Municipal Ownership is Re-
commended.
Chairman Cooke Makes Short But Very
Strong Annual Report For he Water.
Committee.

The Water Committee of the Board OF
Aldermen, of which Mr.. Chas. F. Cooke
IS chairman, will at next Friday night
meeting present the following as its an
nual report.
Though short, the report is direct and
to the point. The recommendations con
tanned in it are worthy of the most earn
est consideration of every taxpayer in
the city:
To the Honorable Mayor and Board OF
Aldermen of the City of Raleigh:
Your Committee on Water beg to sub
nit the following report
The Water Department has expended
the following amounts during the fiscal
year just closed, to-wit:
Hydrant rents. .... ......... $4 $685. 81
Connecting fountain with sewer. 20.5O
CNTotal. -. ....S4.9Si-I Ii
This amount taken from the annual APP
preparation of $4,000, leaves a credit oil
$32.2 % to this department.
Your committee asks for an appropria-
ton of 5000. There are now 126 hy-
drants in use by the city, which alone will
cost 81 040.
We are all familiar with the diSsatis-
faction which has existed in the past re-
lating to service and rents of water, and
believing that the best interests of the
city demand that the city should own its
own water and lighting plant, we respect
fully recommend that this Board appoint
a committee of five, together with the
mayor and city attorney, to take the prop
er sters to secure authority from the
Legislature, which meets here in June
to issue bonds for the purpose of estab-
fishing a water and lighting plant. We
believe this can be done With great ad-
vantage to the citizens of the city.
We would also recommend that the
property Of the Raleigh Water Company
be placed upon the tax list, and that the
city pay for water used in sprinhline
streets 1t is believed that by Sc doing
the city will save several hundred dollars
annually.
While we believe the service OF the
Raleigh Water Company to be as salts
factory to the citizens generally as ii
would be under the management of any
ether private corporation, we do not be-
leve any corporation would or could give
the advantages which would accrue to
the whole people under municipal owner

ATTEMPTED
MURDER
". A. Tyler of Sheylin Attempts
to Shoot DR.. Blakeslee i'm the
Hotel Lobby, this MOrning.-The
Former is Now in Jail.

W. A. Tyler of Shevlin at.
tempted murder this morning in
the hotel drawing revolver upon
DR.. Blakeslee. He was arrested
and is in jail awaiting a hearing
before Justice Gilmour to-day.
The story has been told that
Tyler lives in Blakeslee's house in
Shevlin and had been ordered out
BY the owner. Owing to that and
oiher domestic affairs, considera-
BILE difficulty arose between the
two men.
Yesterday Mrs. Blakeslee tele-
graphed her husband here that Ty-
ler was on his way to Bemidji for
trouble. This morning they met
and Blakeslee was saluted by the
point OF a revolver, A bystander
took the gun away and thus pre-
vented a tragedy. Then the doc
tor prescribed a threshing for his
patient and administered the dose
himself. So the story goes.

ITS DOORS
ARE CLOSED
The Merchants Bank Of Bemidji
Closes its Doors for the Want of
Funds-.--Many Depositors Feel
Very Uneasy.

Owing to an unusual demand
for funds, under circumstances
oyer which the bank has no con-
troll, this bank will be closed un-
til further notice. signed. F. w.
Rhoda. was the notice with which
depositors were confronted on ar
irving at the Merchants bank
yesterday morning. Later in the
day the following notice was is-
sued and sent to the depositors:
Dear Sir: You are requested
to meet other depositors and cred n
itors Of the Merchants Bank Of
Bemidji at the Bank, on Thursday
July -, 1900, at 3 o'clock p. m. to
confer with the representatives of
the bank. Respectfully,
f. w. RHoDA,
Cashier.
Any further than these p potices
go, we are absolutely unable to
throw light upon the cause for
which the bank closed its doors.
It is believed, however, that mat
ters will adjust themselves with
little time, and may, possibly. re-
sumo business in a few days in a
satisfactory manner. Such an
abrupt closure, has, for the time
being. serious effect on business.
Depositors feel very uneasy but
have not given up hope Of getting
100 cents on the dollar.
ER-The deposlters met at
the bank this afternoon, and it
was determined that the bank will
open and resume business in few
days. A committee was appointed
to wait on the bank officials who
will arrive here tomorrow.

Tne Ayerage Lawsuit.

There, is nothing more ridiculous than
the average lawsuit. Two men dispute
over a few dollars and go to law. Both
are sure to lose. Their neighbors are
dragged in as witnesses, and the costs
amount to 10 or 20 times the amount in
dispute, Frequently these lawsuits
ruin families and start quarrels that
last for years. Some men claim it is
principle" that actuates them in these
lawsuits. 1t is bullheadedn pure
and simple, It is nearly always easy
to "split the difference"
Another bad feature about these law
suits is that the county is put to con-
siderable expense, and men willing to
work are compelled to sit on the jury.
Settle your disputes without going to
law. If the man with whom you are
disputing is not willing to 'split the
difference he viii probably accept q
proposition to leave 1t to three neigh
bors. Atchison Globe.
