City Will Furnish Water
 NOYrmD Fl

The municipal water system will bc in full working order and ready to fur nish water to consumers on and after November l. That was the report ol the select committee of the council on the matter last night. The water was turned on from the tank on the side of the hill Saturday and it was discovered that nearly all of the leaks have been stopped and that the remainder Of them it is believed will cease to cause trouble within a few days. Fity-iive connec- tions have been made and more are be- ing made as fast as the crew can do the work.
 While many ot the service pipes have been turned on, it was stated that there would be no charge for water until No- vember l.
 The committee also reported that an- other pipe would probably have to be laid sooner or later from the pumps to the tank on the hill, as it was noD be- lieved the pipe in use there now would carry the water as fast as the pumps could deliver it with both working 10 their full capacity. This matter will come up again after the committee has made more tests,
 roth pumps have been installed and tes ed.
 The following monthly rates for water service were recommended by the lire and water committee:
 Residences, g.; baths, p cents; tciiet, 25 cents.
 Hotels S2 minimum with 10 cents per room for each room tu which water is delivered, 50 cents for baths and 90 cents for toilets.
 Stores the same as residence rates,
 Restaurants to be regulated accord ing to seating capacity, the rate being 10 cents per seat with S3 as a minimum charge and 30 per cent added for res taurants that are open all night.
 Barber shops, S2 for the first chair and 90 cents each for additional chairs, 90 cents for baths.
 Saloons, S2 with Sl additional for each beer pump and 50 cents tOrtOilets.
 Steam laundries, S7.5O, hand laun- dries s5.
 Ra,es for those not coming within these classes will be provided as the oc- casion may arise.
 There will be no charge for fire hy- drants on private prem ses. It was held that if man has sufficient enter prise to put in a private hydrsnt for the protection of his own and other pro- perJy, the city should not tax him for it.

DISCUSS II
Council COndiders M nag .
 ment of Water Plant

The question of the management of the water system for the immediate fu- ture was discussed by the council last night, though there was no recommen- datiOn on the part of anyone that the position of superintendent of the water wOr- at a salary of Sl25 per month be created, as has been understood by some because of an erroneous publica- tiOn this morning. dr. VanCleve Ot the select committee, which has had the construction of the water system in charge, recommended that Elias Ruud be retained by the city for a short time, not over few months at the outside, until the plant should be firmly estab- lished aud in good working order. lt was suggested that his sevices might, with profit to the ciiy, be retained un- til after the worst O the winter shall have passed. lJ was suggested by Mir. Wollaud that Mir. Ruud should do the work of cariug for the water system ana that of fire warden and street com missioner as well. Mir. Shaw opposed the appointment of Mir Ruud to serve beyond the time the water system should be in good working order. Mr. KaIem was opposed to any arrange mcnt that would dispense with the services Ot Frank Page, fire warden. Mr BOugh,On said the position of the fire mGen was not involved in the matter, that the committee had simply recommended that Mr Ruud be re- laiued until the water system should be ia tn, rough condition, It would be only a ShOsJ time, not more than few months at .he outside. Mayor Keller thought the proper time to settle the matter would be when the system should be finally completed and the select COmmit,Ce'S work completed Until that time the matter is all in the hands of that committee. The ques- tiOn went over until the next meeting,
 The fire and water committee was given more time to report as to the es- tabliShment of @ hose company at the north end of town
 The council refused to take action on a request from the telephone company that 10 be permitted to take down the old fire alarm system.
 The council decided not to engage Q city marshal during the absence J. J.. Burns, as it was held the night watch man could care for the peace of the town until Mir. Burns return. The matter was left in hands of the health and police committee.
 A petition for light at Alaska street and Eighth avenue was left to the com- mittee on public works and public property.
 The committee on public works and public property was authorized to drain the surface water between Eighth and Tenth avenues east of Broadway.
 All the members of the council were present except Mir, King. Mayor Kel- Ter presided.

A "sit still" Club.

The Sit Still club was recently organ
ized at Lincoln. Neb., by well known
business and professional men, says
dispatch from Lincoln. The object of
the club is the improvement of street
car facilities. The members say that
the street car company Is not operat-
ing enough cars to accommodate traf-
&c on it's lines. and they propose to
compel an improvement in the service
by declining to surrender their seats
to women when the cars are crowded.
They maintain that the company will
never improve the service until women
agitate the question and demand an
improvement, and they believe that
women will take vigorous action when
they fnd that men will not surrender
their seats to them.

report that General Kondrachenko has
been killed and that General Stoessel

ported wounded.
The garrison is reported to be conf

rive before March 1. Despite it's heavy
losses Nov. rs and subsequently the
garrison is said to be cheerful and re-
solved to continue the struggle as long
as a single soldier remains. The army
claims to have sufficient provisions to
last until February. The navy pos
sesses about one months stores. The
price of food in the beleaguered for

supplies reached the garrison the past
month. se.ts4 ~

Ex-senator Davis Locust Trees.

Ex-senator Davis Locust Trees.
Ex-senator Henry G. Davis of West
Virginia, the Democratic vice pres1-
dental nominee, seems never to have
calculated against an age limit. says
Melville Davisson Post in Harper's
Weekly. One afternoon in the present
summer he was walking through the
grounds of his beautiful estate at the
town Of Elkins, where he resides. He
was accompanied by one of his superin-
tendents, and the conversation ran
upon the growth Of trees. "These North
Carolina poplars," said the ex-senator,
"grow, rapidly, but they are poor trees
at the end" "Why don't you try some
harder trees?" responded the superin'
tendent. II have thought about the
locust" ex-senator Davis answered.
'Iet me see, a locust grows about
twenty-five inches in twenty years.
and then musingly. II think shall put
some out"

The Call Of the Woods. @ n,
Syfef ffie fftsfr seems a ri son al eersa


'1vhen the desk seems d prison of fedgers
And the fingers are cramped from the
pen,
long for jaunt on the hillsides
And a stroll in the forest glen;
long for a glimpse Of the thickets,
Where the berries hang fragrant and
good,
And the squirrel is busy at harvest
In the heart Of the autumnal wood!
Sweet visions Of natures wild orchards
Drift in o'cr blotters and books,
And we pine for a glimpse of the wild,
wood,
For the crimson and gold flecked brooks.
The call Of the quail in the brambles
Is good to the townsman's ear,
And I'd stand by the 1.-the limbed wood
man
And list to his ak ring clear.
Then away with the desk and the dollars!
Away with the counting of spoils!
I'll HE for day to the wildwood
And swing in the grapevine coils.
And out where the frost kings sketching
I'll bask IL ..:c C..crie3 OF fa.l.
Oh, all weary brothers in cities.
Come heed to the woodlands call!
