PUTTING IN THE METERS.
Water Meters + Being Placed on
the Property Of Consumers to
Protect Water Waste.

--nChairman Miller of the city water
committee has commenced to place
water meters on the premises of the
consumers OF the city water. Away
last spring this matter was decided
upon by the council and a number of
meters were purchased for The first
experiment. A long delay ensued af-
ter ordering the boxes in which to
place the meters and they have ar
rived within the last few days. 1t is
the intention to place the first me-
tiers on premises where the largest
amount OF water is used. Doubtless
there will be some objections to plac-
ing the meters by the water consum-
ers, for it means an abridgment of
the wholesale use of water, The
committee, however, has the privilege
Of where any person objects to the in
PRODUCTION of the meter and refuses
to have it placed, to turn of the
water. and this has been done in one
or two cases.
The move on the part of the city
to preserve the water supply is a
good one, and it will serve to bring
the consumers to a realization that
the water can not be wasted Simply
because there is an open rate to all
people. The city does not require
the consumer to buy the meter, as is
the case in a great many cities, but
it is furnished free of charge, and
placed in position. 1t will take
sometime to place the meters on the
property of every, consumer but when
it is done it will be found that there
will be a great saving in the water
question. There is not a scarcity of
water on hand but even though there
is an abundance that is no reason
why the water should be used to ex-
cess, and permit it to run to waste
on the ground. 1t may seem like a
hardship at first but the time will
come when the consumers will realize
the benefit it is to the city.

Elk Point Courier: The Mitchell
Republican, remembering that Petit
grew was made to endorse the re-
publican platform in open conven-
tion before he was allowed to 20
to the national convention in 1896,
thinks the Wisconsin republicans are
justified in insisting that Senator
Spooner stand squarely on their plat
form IN the present campaign. a
recent visit to Wisconsin, in which
we had the opportunity Of talking
with representative republicans on
the situation, convinces US that the
two cases are far from analogous.
When Senator Pettigrew made that
pledge he had no more intention of
keeping it than he has today, while
in the case Of Senator Spooner the
strongest stalwart would hardly
question his loyalty and value to the
republican party. The recent repub-
lican nominating convention in Wis
c0nsin was was dominated complete
ly by the LaFollette men and en-
dorsed in it's platform certain local
issues which the coming legislature
will as likely as not reject. The legis-
lature is much more likely to do this
than it is to defeat Senator SpOoner
for re election.
The loyalty and value Of Senator
Spooner is not brought into question
the least and from Brer. Bruce's own
knowledge Of the situation there
does not seem to be any reason why
the senator could not agree with the
republicans on issues that he admits
are purely local. His agreement on
these issues, if purely local, would
hardly have any bearing on his work
Is a United States senator. We
have always believed that a gentle
man representing a state in the IN
ate should be in accord with the
party that sent him there. If the
legislature sees fit to return the sem
ator to the senate we'll and good, but
it would look like the governor and
his friends will be able to elect a
legislature that will be favorable to
the platform adopted at the state
convention. The stalwarts have been
trying to GUST the element in the
party in Wisconsin for some time
and it seems they are losing ground.

NOT MUCH COAL HERE.
Hard Coal is a Very Scarce Article
in Mitchel,-Hardly Any Be-
ing Shipped to Town.

Although we are in the midst Of
summer weather there is some APP
%prehension that hard coal will be a
scarce commodity this winter when
it will be needed to keep people
warm. In conversation with several
coal dealers today they stated that
there was but very little anthracite
coal in the city. Several IA have
been shipped in during the past week
or two but that does not in any way
make the conditions any more easy
for the future. The price Of coal at
the present time on the local market
is $10.5 per ton, there being n adj
vance made or account of shortage.
The dealers stated that they could
not buy a pound of coal from the
wholesalers and they will not even
quote prices on large lots. 1t is
claimed that the coal is not above
gro and to be hauled and the eastern
supply is short. How long the strik
in the anthracite regions will con
tinue is a matter of speculation. 1t
is thought that ii the strike ends
by the middle of the month that the
western country can be supplied with
hard coal about the first of Novem-
Der.
There is no shortage in the soft
coal field. and there will be plenty
Of that kind to burn, but so few peo-
pie are equipped for using soft coal
that it will be a difficult matter to
change in a great many instances,
should it be necessary. However,
the time for burning hard coal is
several months away and it is pos
sible that the conditions will change
quickly. Chicago advlces are to the
effect that there will be plenty of
hard coal ready for consumption by
the time the aso arrives for its
use.

STATE FAIR NEXT MONTH
1t Opens at Yankton Sept. 8 and
Lasts FIVE Days-proyidlng
Many Good Attractions.

The state fair will be held at Yank-
ton commencing Sept. s and lasts five
days. Thos. Fullerton of this city,
who is n of the members of the
the state board, will have charge of
the machinery, apiary and swine
departments.
The speed department is nuder the
management of Geo. d. Cole. of
Wheeler, and some good purses have
been put up for the contests.
The other departments are looked
after by capable men and every effort
will be put forth to make the de-
partments exceptionally interesting
to visitors.
The attractions for the fair will
be as good as the association provid-
ed a year ago and many new ones will
be added. The Yankton people have
taken hold Of the attractive features
and will again show their interest
IN the success OF the fair by provid-
ing some entertainment for each
evening in the city.
1T is hoped that the people of the
state will see that each community
will be represented in the way of at
tendance and also in the matter of
exhibits. The state fair can be made
a good thing for the state by the CO.
operation of the people. That a fair
is a good thing for a community is
shown by the fact that Huron and
Sioux Falls and several other towns
IN the state are preparing for ex-
hibitions this fall.
The Fourth Regiment band of Sioux
City has been engaged to furnish
music for the state fair this year.

What does it profit a woman if she
gain the whole world of knowledge
and lose her own health? Young
women students, and school teach
ers, eager and ambitious and full of
energy, very often neglect their
health in the struggle to gain edu-
cation. They eat insufficient food,
and at irregular hours, they allow
irregularity of the womanly func-
tions to he established, and the result
is that they become chronic inyalids
with all their education practically
worthless. There is a plain road to
health for such as these. marked by

Elderly Women In White.

There Is considerable criticism in
French circles over the fact that at
recent wedding not only the bride, but
the mother of the bride, was attired
in white gown. The gown in ques-
ton was, to be sure, heavy white
guipure, trimmed with bands of err
mine, costume certainly sufficiently
rich and elaborate to suit woman
only little over 40. 1t is, however, a
noticeable fact that large number of
women past their youth are wearing
white for the daytime and finding it
becoming. AS couturiere approached
on the subject said: "a woman is
never too old to wear white, but she
may be too ugly. A pretty woman may
wear white until she is so, but an ugly
woman should never wear it."

PRINCESS MARGARET.
the Most Attractive Member
of British Royalty.

It is no exaggeration to say that
Princess Margaret of Connaught, King
Edwards pretty niece, who ''came out"
at ball in Dublin recently, is an ex-
tremely important figure on the inter-
national chessboard. She may take a
king.
The lively daughter of the duke of
Connaught is generally regarded in
continental diplomatic circles as the
most eligible of royal young women,

Britain's best hope for a fresh Euro
pean alliance. Already her name has
been mentioned in connection with
those of the prospective successors to
the two proudest thrones in Europe,
and it isl hardly matter of doubt that,
sooner or later, some especially ex-
allied match will be made for her.
The fact that among her relatives
Princess Margaret is known as "Daisy"
goes far to prove that there is little
stateliness or undue self-conscious-
ness about the girl whose future prom

Princess Margaret acquired from her
grandmother, Queen Victoria, whose
almost constant companion she was
for long time. Her parents, the duke
and duchess of Connaught, some years
ago made prolonged visit to India,
leaving Princess Margaret and her
younger sister in Queen Victoria's
charge. Margaret was an especial ia

often commented on the resemblance
