COUNCIL IN SESSION.
The Council Has a Regular Meeting
tuesday Evening And Re-
ceives Report.
WATER COMMISSION REPORTS.

The Water Commissioners Report Shows
| Up Well. They Recommend Lower Meter
Rates and Ask the Council to Take Some
Action in the Matter.-The Fire Commit
tee Wants Another Team to Put On Hook
and Ladder Truck and on Streets.
| Only nine aldermen and the mayor
| were present at the Council meeting
Tuesday evening and very little bust
ness of Importance was transacted.
The most interesting item in con-
nection with the meeting was the
yearly report of the Superintendent of
water works, which showed that the
water tax receipts had increased to
almost $4,000 which, with the sale of
meters and charge for connections ETC.,
made the gross receipts $17, 49, "a. OF
the amount $4,000 was spent for ex-
tensions to mains and service connec-
tons, while the fne1 and operating
expenses were a little over $4,000. In
addition to connections IA miles have
been added to the system during the
past year, making a total of 21H miles
of mains to the lake water plant. Over
200 new connections have been made
and the report shows 1888 consumers
of which 938 are on the lake system
and $50 on the artesian.
The engineers report shows that 90
per cent more water was pumped in
1899 than in 1898, which showing in
d1ced the board of water commission
ers to recommend the Council to am
mend the water ordinance by reducing
the meter rate so that more consumers
would use meters, while all the large
consumers and factories will be COM
PEELED to put in meters at cheap rate.
The report ended by calling the Cour-
ci1's attention to the need of another
pump to take care of the large increase
in the consumption of water.
The Poorma report showed that
ia persons were receiving help from
the city.
The Fire committee asked for more
rubber coats and boots for the firemen,
which was granted and bids were asked
for shoeing the fire teams. The com
nittee also asked the Council to pur-
chase a team for the hook and ladder
truck, they said that the present serv-
ice was no good and if the city had a
team of its own it could be utilized by
the streets and alleys committee, there
by saving the city money and also get
better service. The matter was laid
over until the next meeting.
The electric light reports failed to
agree as usual and the dray ordinance
was put to sleep at present. Then
came the matter of taking SAND off the
city lot which seemed to cause some
disagreement among the aldermen.
Trouble was aYerted however by refer
ing the matter to committee to report
at the mex meeting and the Council
adjourned.

SENATOR oUARLEs ACCEPTS.
Kenosha's Favorite Son Will Deliver the
Principal Dedication Address.

Kenosha's Favor1te SON Will Deliver the
Principal Dedication Address.
A telegram from Washington this
morning announced that Senator J. V.
Ouar1es has decided to lay aside the
duties of state on Memorial day and
travel to Kenosha, for the purpose of
making an address on the occasion of
the unwilling of the monument to the
memory of the Kenosha soldiers and
sailors.
Senator Quar1es was the only choice
of the committee as speaker of the day,
and for a while it looked as though
they would have to look elsewhere, as
the new sen from Wisconsin anti
cipates very busy summer, but the
ties of friendship were too strong and
the favorite son capitu1ated and has
consented to be here at the dedication.
The securing of Senator Quar1es as
speaker of the day will add much of
interest to the ceremonies of the day,
and it is safe to say that the monument
and Senator Quar1es will be a drawing
card which will attract every man,
woman and child in the county to the
ceremonies. Other events of the pro-
gram are being arranged and will be
announced later.

No More Asylums Needed for This year

The state board of control has issued
circular concerning the erection OF
additional county asy1ums for the
chronic insane, stating that there is
no present necessity for granting per
mission to counties for new asylums
and that the board ought not, unless
for very special reasons to authorize
the building of another asylum until
at least year hence. The board is
not ready to indicate now which county
should then be preferred.
1t is understood that Eau Claire
county will soon apply for permission
to build an asylum, and Kenosha is
also contemplating an asylum for her
chronic insane, now confined in the
Racine county institution.

Carnival Season opens.
The Jolly carnival season for 1900
was inaugurated with the birth of the
new year with very pleasant mas
querade party at Park City hall, under
the direction of the Washington club.
While the large number of other at
fractions made it impossible for large
crowd to be present, nearly hundred
couples of masked dancers followed
the leaders in the grand march. Many
of the costumes worn were beautiful
and original. Elsen's orchestra fur
nished the music.
The prizes were awarded as follows:

PRINCE CHING FOR EMPEROR.

If the report be true that the lega-
lions in Picking owe their lives to the
bold stand taken by Prince Ching for
the safety of foreigners, then surely
he has displayed a sense of honor and
chivalry that entities him to high rank
In the empire of China, and in view
OF the imbecility or t~reachery of the
present rulers he should be put at the
bead Of affairs.
Lord Beresford. who visited China
in 1898, speaks highly in his book of
the reception that was given him in
October Of that year by Prince Ching
who was then president of the Tsung
Ii Yamen, which is the bureau of for
Elm affairs. He is a mandarin of I'M
usual intelligence and on the occasion
referred to was remarkably frank for
a Chinese official.
The Tsung Ii Yamen is noted for its
suavity and silence. While protesting
great desire to remedy evils complain
ed of 1t has ears and hears not and
mouths to ask questions but make no
reply. After several hours of listen
ing one Of the board will calmly in
Quire as to the nature of the sriev-
ance. just as il nothing had been said.
Then refreshments will be ordered
and a discussion started about the
dainties that are being served.
1t 10 said of Prince Ching that he
caused the ammunition for the Box

ers,' cannon to be stolen and that the
organized 1900 loyal Chinese to oppose
the Prince Tuan's ferocious, danger
Gus and dictatorial ambition. A dis
patch from Tien-Tsin, dated July End,
says: The empress dowager, so far
from being dead, is actively striving
to prevent faction fights. Prince Ching
has informed her that he would rather
lose his head than be constantly obllg-
ed to warn her Of the consequences of
the prolongation Of the present an
archy."-Leader.

Mr.. Walter J. Swingle, agricultural
explorer for the United States depart
ment of agriculture, arrived in France
a few days age. and is now in Algeria
buying 200 date palms which are to be
shipped to Arizona. The department
of agriculture considers the climate
and soil Of Arizona favorable to the de-
velopment Of the date palm and will
therefore undertake an experiment on
a large scale, to cultivate this fruit in
the United States. Mr.. Swingle is also
closely examining the properties of
the wheat employed by the local
manufacturers of maccaroni and semo-
lima products in general, with a view
to introducing the culture of similar
wheat into the United States. Ameri-
can shippers to French markets could
considerably extend their trade to this
country II they could furnish wheat
containing a higher percentage Of glu
ten, as nearly all Of the foreign wheat
consumed in France is imported solely
for the sake OF the gluten it imparts
to mixtures with French wheat.-Wil-

NEW COUPLERS.
Several Hundred Cars Must Be Equip
ped With Them.

Times are tusy at the Union Pa
cific car shops in Omaha this week
changing couplers on the 81 passen-
ger cars of the system on which the
new Janney couplers must be placed
in compliance with the ruling Of the
interstate commerce commission by
August l.. says the World Herald. 1t
is not the simple task Of bringing in
the cars one at a time and changing
~couplers at the convenience of the
| shops here. 1t is a change that affects
the entire overland system, the North
western, the Union Pacific, the Oregon
| Short Line, the Oregon Railway &
| Navigation Co, and the Southern Pa
citic all at one dot on July Is.
Therefore, all of the extra cars must
be pressed into service by the roads,
and hauled to the terminals equipped
with Janney couplers, so that on July
Is rains made up entirely of cars with
the new couplers can be started. For
instance, the Union Pacific must send
from Omaha to Chicago its share of
| the cars on the overland trains and
have them ready, without interfering
with old trains up to July 10.
The Union Pacific proper must
change ~couplers on 81 cars. For
years these cars have been equipped
with the Miller coupler. But to be uni
form with other lines. and to comply
with the safety appliance law at the
same time. the Janney, or Master Car
Builders coupler, abbreviated into NJ.
C. B. coupler, must be substituted.
The only relief from the sudden
change from one kind to the other is
last years order of passenger equip
ment, sixty cars, which are fitted with
national couplers, which are inter
changeable with the Janney and the
Miller. But the old and new styles
themselves are not interchangeable.
For instance, a Miller coupler cannot
be hooked on to a Janney.
AS it has been, practically all of the
passenger equipment over one year
old had the old style coupler, save a
few cars in use on mixed trains on the
branch lines, where it was necessary
that passenger and freight cars be
booked up together. After July 10
however. any passenger car on the sys'
tenn can be hooked on to freight o.
passenger cars Of the Union Pacific Of
any other road in the United States, il
all other roads have complied with
equal promptitude.
The bulk of the Union Pacific worl
, is being done at the shops in Omaha
though some is in progress at Chey
} enne.

REBUILDING FREIGHT JARS.

A job that the Union Pacific car
shops in Omaha has on hand for this
week is that of rebuilding seventeen
old freight ears into bunk. kitchen and
dining cars FOR construction gangs in
Wyoming. Each car is thoroughly
cleaned, whitewashed inside, fitted
with screen doors and windows, and
then fixed with shelf hunks inside il
for bunk cars; sink, range and bread
and meat boxes il for kitchen, or with
long tables and benches if for dining
cars. About six bunk cars are made
for one kitchen and one dining car So
far this season 200 old freight cars
have been rebuilt into construction
cars.
During the past ten days, seven To-
comotives have been received from the
Wyoming division to be rebuilt, in
addition to the regular work from the
Nebraska division.-Omaha World

A strange case is reported from the
western part Of the state. Bernard Nc
Arthur, son of Editor Macarthur Of The
Hemn~-NTswe-a was recently I'M
fortunate Sigh to receive a gunshot
wound that was pronounced necessari-
ly fatal by two prominent physicians.
The bullet entered the left side under
the lower rib, ranging upward and
puncturing the lung slightly and fin
ally lodging just under the skin over
the shoulder blade. The fact was
ascertained during the examination
that the boys heart was located on the
right side instead of the left side of the
chest and consequently the leaden
messenger failed to touch that vital
organ. Those who adhere to the doc
trine of Denomination car find solace
in this strange circumstance. Had the

ROADS FEELING CHINA ROW
Great Northern Gives Notice of Refus-
al to Accept Certain Freight.

St. Paul, July 1.-THE Great North
ern Railroad company has given notice
to all of its agents to not contract
for any China freight destined to the
interior points beyond Shanghai, Hong
Kong and Canton until conditions in
that empire have become more set
tied. The Great Northern and North
ern Pacific will feel to some extent the
immediate effects of the Chinese anti
foreign uprising. The trouble has al
ready had a tendency to disturb both
east and ~westbound tr%anspacific bust
ness. No Chinese exports in the in
terror of the empire are reaching the
coast cites destined for the United
States and %eastbound ships must come
with light argoes, in consequence.
This mea Pacific roads will carry
a reduced quantity of Oriental imports.
A railroad official said today that the
Great Northern might temporarily lose
its transpacific connections in
case the Chinese war reach
ed an acute stage. The Nip
pom Yusen Kasha Steamship COM
pany, which operates in connection
with the Great Northern, is a japanese
company whose ships are subsidized
by the Japanese government and can
be confiscated for service as army
transports.

w ships from China and Japan and

Word comes from Chicago that the
operating officials of the Atchison. To-
peka and Santa Fe have decided that
all locomotives on their line in Cali
fornia shall be equipped by October /,
1900, for the use of oil as fuel. The
road figures on consuming about 100
600 barrels per day annually. An ex-
peuditure of $3.50 900 will be made in
equipping the locomotives. For about
six years the Santa Fe has used more
or less oil as fuel in California, all the
engines operated between the Needles
and Bakersfield having been oil on
sumers since January /, last. The COM
pany finds oil cheaper than coal, espec-
tally as it owns its WI oil fields.
There is more in this item for Wyo-
ming than one would at first suppose.
Suppose this experiment should prove
an unqualified success, as it doubtless
will, and then the road should increase
its use of oil by adopting it as fuel
upon other divisions, and then it
should be taken up by other roads?
It would mean the development of the
vast oil of the west, and in
u%ndeveloped properties of this nature
Wyoming stands without a peer. But
II the railroads need the oil for fuel,
they will soon find a cheap and practi.
cal method of getting 1t.
