Judge B. p. Wolfe's decision in the
case of the Davenport Gas < Electric
company vs.. the city has been re-
ceived here. The court holds that
the contract entered into between
the city and the Gas company was
void SO far as the fixing of the price
for lights is concerned. but main
tains as valid the contract itself. The
judge gives the city. the right TO fix
the price to be paid for gas and cleo
trio light and orders that the price
To be paid for the next five years be
fixed within the next 30 days. To the
city this n three-fourths victory. 1t
will be remembered that the city at
the end of five years desired TO adjust
the prices for street lighting. To
tiAio tie company OpJtCNtti anu served
n notice on the city to proceed in the
matter by arbitration, or by taking
the average price of six Iowa or Hi
nois cities of similar size to Daven-
pert. To this the city objected, de-
manding improvements and ending
by. annulling the contract. which led
TO mandamus proceedings. BY virtue
of the decision of Judge Wolfe the
city is to adjust prices within 80 days
at its own terms, the same to be rea-
sonable. This il Il victory for the
city as complete as can be expected.
1t means, i'm the words of City At

threatened to cut crops of all kinds
short and seriously cripple the stock
interests in that section is well and
truly at an end.
At an early hour Thursday afternoon
clouds began to obscure the heavens
and by night a steady downpour OF
rain was falling upon the dry and
parched earth, which continued on
through the entire night. 1t is still
raining and the prospects are that the
country will get III of the best soak
ings it has had in years before the
present wet spell is over. While many
portions of Lincoln county have en-
joyed local showers previous to this
time this is the first general rain that
has fallen in that section in over six
months.
The present wet spell will be worth
| thousands of dollars to the county in
the way of increased crops and through
preventing a loss of cattle on the
ranges.
