The Register-Call last week let
out yowl that this paper was
slurring the members of the couu-
Gil by criticising their actions in
regards to their official acts. All
we can say is that we have none
but the highest regard for the al
dermen, but as public servants
they are subject to criticism, and
as we are sincere in believing that
they are not acting for tbs good
of the taxpayers We will criticise
the COUNCIL at any time we sec fit
The R-C goes ON to state that
this council has reduced the debt,
some sa9, 900, and that for the first
Time in years the city has had a
sufficient supply of water. Well
why shouldn't they have reduced
the debt? They have been in Of
flee four years, have never been
compelled to fix tho streets after
food, have had no lights 4, A.
Streets in that time ,,ro ,o,,or 40
pared a ..dewalk unless abso-
lately necessary, hava left the por-
tien OF tne fume adjoining Black
Hawk in disgraceful and unsafe
condition.
But have they reduced the debt
and have they plenty of water! !
Although the treasurer's statement
will show n decrease, yet when the
fact is taken into consideration
that $4,000 will necessarily be
added to this amount in order for
the reservoir to be completed, and
this will make n total of more than
100000. And after this they will
have to spend some $4,000 more
to get water. The R.C knows that
the city has been short of water
since last July, as they repeatedly
published notices from the water
commissioner to that effect. And
the water-or good share OF it
since last fall came, first, from a
placer claim in Miners gulch, and
which cost them $500 for couple
of months supply, and later. from
the mine of Nj. Mnck below the
cemeteries. The claim of tho Re-
publicans is that when this reser-
voir is completed there will be
plenty of water. According to all
previous yenrs it will be necessary
to fill this reservoir in May and
June, and then this water will
have to be held there until winter.
And such water as ii will be, with
no roof over it, and the receptacle
for all the refuse in that section!
The water is bound to become
stale, rs not enough fresh water
will be running in to keep 1t fresh.

BOER SURVIVOR OF MANY BATTLES.
NERVOUS IN A ST. LOUIS ELEVATOR
Captain Fischer of the Orange
Free State, Who Comes to
america to Live, Says the
Complexion of the
Women Here Is Bad.

Captain Frans Fischer. former command
err of States Artillery under General PET
Joubert during the struggle of the Beers
against Great Britain and who is a sur
vivor of se,enteen pitched battles and 15O
skfrmishes, and son of Abram Fischer, one
of the delegates who came TO the United
States during the strife to seek aid, de-
parted from St. Louis last night for Pella,
Ia, where he will make his home until the
time arrives when he can return to his ma
tive land and find 1t free from English
rule.
Captain Fischer was nervous about rid
ing to the top of the Holland building in
the elevators when he went to confer with
GerIit II. Ten Brock. Vice Consul for the
Netherlands. He said he was afraid the
strings would break.
He was very careful about the old adage,
when in Rome do as the Romans do"
and asked If 1t was impolite to smoke a pipe
on the street.
When informed that it was not. he i'm
mediately got out his pipe and pouch and
began to enjoy himself.
He was not very favorably impressed with
American women. They have such beast
ly compilations" he saiu.
Our girls he continued, ARE as fair as
a lily, and YOU never see them about the
streets as you do In this country"
WOUNDED FIVE TIMES.
Captain Fischer, who is % years old. was
born in the Orange Free State. and says he
will never become reconcilsd TO the parties
who We're responsible fer the surrender OF
the Beers.
He blameF General Botha and the people
of the Transvaal, and declares that his
people in the Orange Free State, who held
out for continued warfare, would have won
the struggle if they had been allowed to
carry on the war for two years longer.
He hopes some day to return and fight
tie British again. Al present he suffers
greatly from five bullet wounds received
III the defense Of his country
Thirteen months before the close of hos
tilities Captain Fischer acted as chief scout
under General De Wet. He was never taken
prisoner during the two years and seven
months period of the war.
He was a personal friend of President
Dom Paul Kruger, with whom. he says. he
often slipped coffee. He says the old
Man" Is as plain as an old shoe. and was
terribly put out when he heard that Botha
had signed an armistice which virtually
took away the Beers freedom.
