Two ladies' not a hundred miles
from Extra, recently went 10 Oma-
ha to take advantage of some of the
exceptionally low sales-day offers
and in one dry goods emporium
they saw prices marked away below
what they usually had to pay on
boys ready-made pants; and having
poys OF their own, purchased liber-
ally a sufficient supply, being mind
ful OF the fact that some of their rel
atlves and friends were literally
supplied with boys, hard on pants,
proposed in their kind heartedness
to make the purchase of number
OF pairs. Their many selections ex-
cited the suspicion of the superin-
tendent OF that department and he
coolly informed them that they did
not supply goods to peddlers. This
was sumner and the ladies de-
parted with only their first pur-
chases, much surprised that thew
were restricted in the number Of
purchases al well as being rated as
venders of ready-made clothing.

The special election held in this
city last Friday was rather dull
affair only l02 ballots being cast as
against l55 at the June election and
2o' at the city general election last
spring. This was owing in part to
the Audubon Fair which many
attended and to seemingly lack of
interest in the whole waterworks
system. There were two PROPOSE
tlonS before the people: First to
establish and maintain a water
works system which had never
been done although we have been
having system in use upon what
all believed to be lawful basis, for
the last twelve years. This
proposition carried by the decisive
vote OF 81 in favor of the measure
to votes against it; and to bond
the town for an additional S25OO,
there were 50 votes in its tavor to I
votes against it, the rest of the
ballots making up the lO2 were
spoiled in the marking. The city
authorities are already receiving
private bids for the bonds and
whenever they are sold the proceed
lngs in regard to the voting to
maintain waterworks and on the
voting for bonding the town will be
forwarded to the successful bidder
and there now seems to be no
obstacle in the way to the legality
of the proceedings which if
pronounced all regular will enable
the council to at once let the con-
tract for the waterworks addition
as voted on at the June election,
and it is hoped the system as far s
contemplated, will be up and in
running order before snow flies.
