The city council at special meet
ing Tuesday evening submitted a pro-
position to the Electric Light Com
pany to secure immediate municipal
control of the plant. The proposition
is in lieu of the proposition of the
company rejected by the council the
night before. In brief 1t provides
for the leasing of the plant at an
annual rental of $500 per year, said
rental to be applied upon the purchase
price, the price to be determined by
a board of arbitrators. On the sup
position that the plant is worth 100000
it would require the city eight years
to secure absolute ownership. The
Electric Company has the proposition
under consideration and think quite
favorably of it, provided the plan
meets all the legal requirements. If
they find the proposition is legal the
price of the plant will be determined
and the proposition submitted to a vote

Creston, March 1.-THE grand lodge
of Iowa, knights of Pythias, will meet
ir Creston in August next. but ALREADY
there is considerable activity among
the Pythians in regard to the same.
Two names have been mentioned as
possible candidates for The position or
grand chancellor for this year. namely.
Senator f. Nj. Molesberry, of Columbus

been conspicuous in grand lodge meet

positions and but little can be learned
as to who are really seeking POSITIONS.
The committee on the proposed srapo

idle. A few weeks ago the committee
held a meeting in Des MolneS ana ialo
plans for encouraging the movement.
Last year the COMMITTEES made report
recommending the establishment OF the
sanitarium, and providing for an as
sessment on the membership to pay Tor
the same. The report was debated at
length and finally motion prevailed TO
continue the committee g. year and nave
the committee make a further 1nVesu-
cation as to the expense end especially
as to the success of similar projects
established elsewhere. This committee
met here with persons from Colfax in
terested in the project. The motion last
year included an instruction that the
committee report at least sixty days
prior to the meeting of The grand lodge
to the grand chancellor, and that If he
deems it best he shall submit the re-
port to the subordinate lodges and ask
that they instruct their delegates. 1t
is expected that this will be done. The
committee is prepared 10 make very
favorable report. going into details
much more than the committee was
able to do last year. On this report the
subordinate lodges will act and when
in August they will be able to act intel

people give a free site for the sani-

donated free for one year. great
many members of the Pytkian lodge re-
