GOES BACK TO COMMITTEE
City Council Sends Electric Light
Franchise Back to Committee
For Repairs.

The city council referred the pro
posed franchise of the Citizens Elec-
trio Light s. Power company back to
the electric light committee for fur
:ther action, Thursday evening. The
committee prepared the franchise
some weeks ago. A number of men,
Isers of the city council express them
selves as believing the franchise mat
ter is merely a scheme to obtain a
club to use over the old electric light
company with the object that the old
company will sell out and then the
promoters can drop the new franchise
and work under the one now in force.
The aldermen are not slow to mention
their view of the matter.
At the meeting held last night John
Masters said that he would be willing
to give bond that he would build a
new plant. There did not seem to be
anyone very anxious to do much Of
anything with the franchise, however.
just what the electric light commit
tee will do with it is a question.
About the only stated objection to-
the franchise is the fact that no guar
antee is given that plant will be.
built. To incorporate this require
ment in the franchise would be an un-
usual proceeding.
Alderman Kurtz expressed himself
as believing that the company should
be required to pat upa bond that q
plant Of certain capacity would be
built. Messrs. Masters and Trimhle
thought the company had acted fairly
in the matter, Members of the COM

Ground Your Wire Fences.

For ten years past we have been
urging farmers whether in building
or repairing fences to make ground
connections every thirty rods or less.
We have pointed out to them that a
barbed wire fence properly grounded
acts as lightning rod, prevents the
loss of cattle that may be driven by
the storm against the wires and act
ually makes wire fence safer place
during storm than the middle of the
field .-Wallace'S Farmer.

Company H Inspection,

Col. Creel of Devils Lake inspected

He said the attendance was better
than most OF the company inspections
and the company will average up well
with the rest. Lieutenant Proctor
was in charge of the company during
the drill.

In the larger cities of the South the
tribute paid the memory of Lee on

with more military pomp and ceremo-

that paid by Americas.
For nowhere in the South is the

more revered.
And it was proper, then, on such oc-

knew and loved the old South, the
South that followed Lee from Manas-
sas to Appomattox, should thus honor
his memory.
The exercises at the opera house
were appropriate and beautiful.
