Water and Light Question.

The proposition as to whether
the city of Columbia shall incur
an additional indebtedness of
500, 900 to start another water and
light plant under municipal own
ership, to have been voted on the
10th. has been deferred by the city
council to the oath, inst. The
matter is of so much importance
for the veal or woe of Columbia
that it is we'll to give the citizens
time to understand the question.
The city, including the Columbia
school district, has already a bond
ed debt of 1000, which with the
proposed 800, 900 would make
$171, 900.
What is the matter with good
old conservative Columbia? Have
the people gone wild and lost their
heads that they should ever think
of voting for such a proposition9
Such a debt would paralize bust
ness, lower the value of property,
and stop improvements.
Neither the laboring man nor
the property owner should vote for
it. When the 500, 900 is used
another 800, 900 will most likely
be asked for to complete the plant.
The men who live on big salaries
and spend their summers at the
seashore, may support such a
proposition. But no laboring man
can afford to put a mortgage ON
his little home like this, and the
argument put forward to induce
the laboring man to vote for it
because it will give him more work
is all bosh. Vote against the
proposition.

that the state will take charge. This
is not the trivial matter that some
people seem to think 1t Is. Let us look
into the matter a little. A boy was
sent to the reform school from this
place for attempting to eXtort money
under threat of killing or Kidnapping
child, in imitation of Pat Grove.
The beer-drinl,ing charivari crowd at.
tempts to eXtort money under the
threat of mob violence, and they are
now initiated by the kids Stealing
few dollars is not counted as bad
as grand larceny, but 1t Is stealing.
Extorting money under threat of a
charivari Is not counted as bad as
eXtorting money by threat of murder,
but both are criminal acts of the same
class. Are the parents and law-abid-
ing citizens going to permit this thing
to go on and encourage 1t by their
silent consent? If SO we had better
boy releasd from the reform school
at once. The charivari nuisance can
soon be done away with at this place
If the law-abiding citizens and pro-
lessed christians will persistently
and unflnchingly condemn and dis
courage the practice, causing arrests
to be made when it seems necessary.
The Sentinel has little faith in the
professions of good citizenship or
christianity on the part of any one
who encourages these lawless acts
of the mob, or is willing to allow them
to continue. The place to commence
the suppression is with the overgrown
hoodlum and the beerdrinking crowd.
The kids would soon see that this
Is not the innocent amusement that
it now seems to them. Understand
if a groom wishes to stand in with
and treat this crowd, that is his own
affair not ours, and we can only dis
approve. 1t is the demand for treats
and the threat or actual doing of mob
violence that is an insult and outrage
to peaceable citizens and lawless
act that must be punished and sup

rightly lay claim to being civilized

WEATHER IS WORTH TALKING OF.
Three Full Days of Glitterng, Glow
ing Moments, Has Made the
World Cheer Up.

Three full days of the fairest
weather under the sun have graced
Norfolk this week and the barometer
says it may continue for another ris-
ing of the sun, if all goes well. AL
though it is late in the autumnal
month of October and although dur
ing many such seasons snow chooses
to fall upon this Nebraska land long
before this, the temperature stands
almost as high as it does at times in
the dead of summer and those so in
clined are getting out their fishing
rods, their canoes and their tennis
racquets for further S port out of
doors before the season ends.
Yesterday was a day of grand, gilt
tering, glowing minutes from the
time you woke up in the morning
with the sun until as late as you hap
pened 10 retire last night. 1t was
continuous stretch of superb beauty
in the weather line which put every
body to the good and made the whole
world, so far as it went, feel that
life might be one long, lingering de-
lightful dream after all-that it was,
indeed at least worth the living.
The mercury ran its tongue up to
the SS-degree mark in its thermom-
etric tube and breathed it's hot
breath against the point of summer
heat. Then, like a tiny mouse that
plays in and out and around about,
it darted back clear to the freezing
point during the night, dropped a bit
Of frigid frost upon the already night
ly nipped leaves which still remained.
Within the twenty-four hours the
range ran the distance of tifty-six de-
grees, which is something of a rec
ord in itself

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT WAYNE.
Big New Barn Of D. A. Jones Burned
and Eight Head Of Horses are
DESTROYED.


About midnight Wednesday the
fine new barn of "Doc" Jones, a few
miles west of town, was burned and
eight horses, buggies, harness, tools,
etc, were consumed Mrs. Jones
first heard the horses making rack
ct and upon looking out saw the barn
was on fire near tho roof. The men
rushed for the doors but the horses
were dead from suffocation and the
fire had such a good start 1t was
impossible to save anything.
The barn had just been completed
at cost of $500. and there was
$1,000 insurance on 1t, $500 on horses,
500 on buggies and harness, $50 on
hay and $iO0 on grain, all with Grant
Mears' companies.
No cause can be assigned for the
fire, the family all retiring early
The boys had tried to get three more
horses into the barn that evening
but having some trouble with the
sheep, the animals were left in the
yard with some other dozen head
The fact that Mr.. Jones had loaned
team, buggy and harness saved
that much more. Doc" figures his
loss above insurance at about 500

Parents are Warned.

Unless some of the parents at this
place use better means to control their
boys, it is only reasonable to expect
that another crop will soon be ripe
for the reform school With three
boys already there, another in dan
ger of being sent for unlawful acts
ON the railroad right-of-way. and
another suspected of numbering five
year-old schoolmate, it would seem
that enough samples are before the
parents to show the need of looking
more closely after the boys instead
of refusing to recognize their misde-
meanors or trying to shield them in
criminal tendencies, We presume
the parents of the mob of twenty-five
kids who of late have been initiating
the beer-drinking crowd by demand
ing treats on the charivari plan, know
or can find out whether their boys
participated in such disturbances.
This being the case, il is plainly the
parents duty to use effective means
to keep their boys out of such affairs,
or if they neglect or confess their in.
ability to restrain the boys from com.
mitting lawless acts, rest assured

AFTER ADULTERATED VINEGAR.
State Food Commissioner is Finding
Stuff that Cannot be Sold Under
the Nebraska Law.

State Food Commissioner w. Il.
Thompson condemned eleven barrels
of pure cider vinegar" at Beatrice
because the stuff is improperly brand
ed and is colored. The Nebraska law
prohibits the sale of vinegar that is
colored. Some of the vinegar was
not apple vinegar, but was distilled
and colored To initiate apple juice.
Mr.. Thompson does not say the dis
titled article is injurious or that it
is not good vinegar, but it is a cheap
er product and it is an imposition to
sell it for something that costs more.
Cider vinegar costs at Wholesale from
Is to is cents a gallon, while the dis
titled kind costs from IL to - cents.
Both are often sold for 80 cents gal
Ion. That there is some profit in such
sales no one doubts, Nearly all that
was condemned was made by the To.
peka Vinegar Works and Otto Kuehne
& Co, the product of the latter being
distilled and colored
Mr.. Thompson has encountered a
new ingredient in vinegar which is
evidently designed to fool any one
who applies simple test. While
travelling Mr.. Thompson is accus,
toned to use simple test, being sugar
OF lead, When this is dropped into
glass of distilled vinegar it makes
no change in the appearance of the
product but when it is dropped into
cider vinegar it precipitates the sol
ids. The law requires certain
amount of solids, This is where the
distilled product falls short 1t also
shows cOloring matter The new in
gredient used by the chemists of the
distillers causes the vinegar to act
somewhat similar to cider vinegar
when sugar of lead is added, The ac-
tion is so much different that Mr..
Thompson noticed it, He brought a
sample to Lincoln and his chemist
began work on it and found that it
contained no apple.
Mr. Thompson has decided to bring
a certain Leavenworth vinegar com
pany to time. This company has been
for several years eyading the Nebras-
ka law and has shipped its product
all over the state. 1t is advertised as
fruit vinegar" 1t proves not TO be
apple vinegar and under the law the
