Law and Right.

While the operation of law is
advertised and presumed to be
equitable and just, it often falls
wide of the mark. One forcible
illustration is furnished in the
case of the farmers who bought
grain at the grain sale last fall
by Enoch Clark, a renter, in
Allen township. Mr.. Clark
left without settling with land
lord and the farmers who
bought the grain have to pay
for it twice. That is law, but
it is not justice in this instance.
That sale was a public proceed
ing and must necessarily have
been conducted with the sane
ton of the landlord. The grain
was offered for sale and pur-
chased by various farmers with
out a suspicion that the title
was cloudy. 1t was the duty of
the landlord to protect himself
in the settlement and adjust
ment of the sale notes. This
he did not do. The tenant flew
the coop, and a dozen farmers
are getting a back handed
illustration of an Iowa law
which deals with the business
relations Of landlord,and tenant.

Lemcn Party.

One OF the merrlest parties
imaginable was the one given
by Mrs. Clarence Bell on We'd
nesday evening at her cosy
home, corner Second and Mich
igan streets, to about twenty
five of her lady friends. The
guests arrived at half-past sew
en- o'clock. After greetings and
a great deal of lively chatter,
the hostess placed at the dispo-
sal Of each one a lemon, tissue
paper and toopicks, and request
ed them to show their skill by
producing a nicely dressed doll
from the limited material. 1t
was not only very amusing work
but the deftness displayed by
some Of the ladies was surpris-
ing, and a number of dollies
were produced that would have
made the heart of many a little
maiden long for possession. An
informal vote was cast to learn
whose doll was thought the
prettiest. The result of the
vote showed that, true to femi-
nine instinct, ca c h woman
thought her own baby the pref
tiest. After much electioneer-
ing and lobbying, Mrs. Hoyer
and Mrs. Hopkins received an
equal number of votes. Mrs.
Hopkins, by lot, was awarded a
box of bon-bons. Numerous
other games were engaged in,
the ladies forgot cares and re
sponsibilities and were children
again, and enjoyed themselves
to the full. At eleven o'clock
refreshments were served, the
hostess being assisted by Mrs
Strobehn and Mrs Heath. The
decorations of the evening were
lemon colored.

Year
An excellent and practical
demonstration of the benefits
to be derived by municipal
ownership of public utilities is
contained in the annual report
of the Missouri Valley water
works system, rendered to TIE
city council by Water Commits
sioner Forde. During the year
commencing April l, 1902, ard
end ending April l, 1908, the
city received the sum Of S3419.-
as from water rents. The total
cash receipts from all sources
was S3677.75.
The expenditures amounted
$329O.54. Included in this sum
is an item OF S2O3.42 for new
hydrants and valves, supplies
for pumps, boilers, and repairs
s243.15.
During the year 46,053,558
gallons of water was supplied
by the system-a monthly av-
erage Of 3,839,558 1-16, and a
daily average of 1864 l-2
gallons. The cash receipts of
the Office exceeded the proceed
ing year by S157.07, while the

After deducting every item
of expense, the city receives q
net profit of $397.21.
