ESTIMATED VALUE OF wArEa co.'s PLANT.

VALUE OF wArER co.'s PLANT.
The value.of the water company's plant from
the city's standpoint may be estimated in v
ways:
lit. Cost or . new plant, equal in extent TO
the old, less depreciation, plus the present
value of the "Annuity"-sss.s IS per month, to
continue 2s7 months-plus the cost Of placing
the system on . paying basis After the works
have been constructed.
ID. From . revenue bearing standp0int.
The 6rst plan Of estimating the value to the
city gives the following results:

municipal Insurance, bat are generally used for
factory Of mill purposes.
Dead ENDS
Another feature Of the piping system to be
noticed IL the long lines Of laterals without
cross connections. These dead ends are detri-
mental for domestic purposes and detract from
the pressure for fire service.
Criticisms-
The following points are most noticeable:
l. shallow depth Of bury.
2. Improper location Of lines.
N2 Lack Of uniformity In location OF valves.
The depth the mains should be laid depends
somewhat upon the frost line; but for protec-
ton from injury and frost, maintaining a uni
form temperature summer and winter, 50 to IS
inches Of cover should be used. Most OF the
lines here have Is to "a inches OF cover.
The second criticism. upon the improper To-
cation Of lines, pertains more to convenience.
Accessibility for repairs, tapping pipe and max
ing extensions demands that the lines be laid
ct . uniform distance from the property lines
and outside the sidewalk curb. This rule IL
covered BY . new ordinance, which is . good
one. The present lines are laid, In many in
stances. undo sidewalks, in some cases within
the property lines and across private grounds;
and two cases might be noted where the larger
sizes are entirely Oh private land, without ease
ment or right Of way having been secured.
These two cases are the 8-inch line for about
1000 feet below the reservoir and the S-inch line
south Of South Sixth street from Hall street to
Idaho avenue.
The third criticism. upon. the non-uniforn
method Of setting valves. applies to the whole
system. The remedy can be applied to all fu
ture extensions and valves placed exactly or

PRACTICAL ZOOLOGY
Norris and Rowe's Magnificent Double
 Menaeeries AS Aid To Study.

Norris and Rowe's Magnificent Double
 Menaeeries AS Aid To Study.
 One of the pleasantest and most profitable hours that can be spent any where may be found in the large new double menageries of the Norris and Rowe Greater Circus. There is not great deal of opportunity offered elsewhere for a practical study of animal life. The relations of wild beasts of the world to mankind are but little understood. The marvels of creation are nowhere greater than in the strange and diversified forms of animate existence as exemplified in wild and untamed and untamable beasts.
 In order to make knowledge of wild animals obtainable the authorities of various cities have established zoolog- ical gardens; but they are enormously expensive institutions and only the wealthiest communities can afford them. It is because the Norris and Rowe Greater Circus make one of the many features of their exhibitions a menagerie so complete in every par ticular that they are of incalcuable practical benefit to any and every community they visit. Years of study of zoology in books is not so effective as an hour spent in this menagerie. And when during this hour one may be amused by the antics of the mon keys, marvel at the strange creatures of odd shapes and savage dispositions and at the same time be entertained by the music of a magnificent military band, an hour of diversion and study is supplied that can be had no where else. It is really a duty to get to the shows early enough to allow the chil dren ample time to see all of the ami mals. An hour is not too long for a hasty inspection of them all. The doors will be open a full hour before the big show begins when the Norris and Rowe Greater Circus appears here on November 29th, giving afternoon and evening performances, the parade takes place at noon, the Southwestern Railway will run specials trains free to and from the grounds at Lowell.

Then and Now.

Professor Shepardson Of Chicago uni
versity maintains that ours is not the
age of graft. He says we are inferior
in this respect to the fathers of the re-
public, the contemporaries Of Washing
ton. He cites that Peter Faneuil., who
built Faneuil hall, the "cradle Of lib
erty,'' was an Illicit liquor Merchant,
and the hail was built with tainted
money. He" thinks one Of the signers
Of the declaration Of independence was
indicted fof smuggling. .,
These assertions, even if established
by evidence, would fall very far short
of proving Washington 8 to have been
an age of graft. The fact of the mat
ter is that money could not have been
the great power in those days, because
what M. Witte calls ''mobile capital
was very little known. Property, both
in land, buildings and persons, was rec
ognized and was powerful. There is a
difference between an aristocracy of
property and an autocracy Of money
Both are indeed Objectionable, but as
between the predatory rich without cul'
ture, conscience or patriotism, who run
riot today, and the aristocracy of family
and property who ruled in Washington Is
day, there can be no comparison which
is not distinctly favorable to the earlier
time 49, q, - a.- a

REDSKIN KILLS
TWO WHITE MEN
Deputy and Companion Of sisse-
ton, S. D., Murdered While At +,
tempting to Take Horses. i,

sisseton, S. D., Aug. 11.-Sisseton was
shocked and Mortified last night by the
report of the murder in cold blood Of
two citizens by an Indian. Deputy
Sheriff NJ. E. Colby and Edward Peter
son had gone to the house of an Indian
named Zach Flute, who lives about two
miles from the village Of Peever, to get
possession of team Of mortgaged
horses.
An alteration took place, and the In
dian, according to his own story, went
into the house for a shotgun and killed
Colby, shooting him at such short range
Peterson started to run thru a wheat
field, and the Indian reloaded the gun,
chased him about quarter OF mile
and shot him three times.
Flute then went to Peever and gave
himself up The sheriff was sent for
and now has him in custody.
AS soon as the news became generally
known crowds of excited men gathered
on street corners. Talk of lynching
was freely INDUCED in. The citizens are
terribly wrought up, and it is doubtful
if the sheriff will be able to hold his
prisoner.
The Indians have been drinking heav.
lily of late and making ugly threats.
It is feared that lynching would bring
about an outbreak.
The bodies of Colby and Peterson are
on the way here.
The Indian is about so, speaks Eng
lish and is fairly intelligent. 1t Is
said that he was at one time preacher
at F1andreau and Granite Falls.
Peterson resided near Wilmot and
had recently been employed as clerk
in clothing store at Sisseton, and had
been collecting from the Indians since
the recent Indian payment.
Colby was married and had been iy-
ing near Sisseton for two years. He
came from Iowa.

felt in the remanding Of the purely
gospel preachers to the rear and the adj
vancement of the popular" speakers.
.High-pressure expense account and low
pressure collections compel trustees to
seek some one who can fill the
church whether he can fill those in the
church or not.
When the cry Of tainted money"
was raised against Rockefeller's gift
to the American Board, the opponents
Of the acceptance did not all feel the
force of The tainted-money argument,
but they did all feel the humiliation of
the mendicancy Of the board. It was
no longer to be dependent on the free
will offerings Of the people, but upon
the patronage Of a grand money lord.
Many of the churches are in the same
boat. They are exalting money and de-
pressing men. They withhold their hon
ors from individuals who are merely
good and reserve them for those who
have the goods,
The mendican!cy Of the church today
is to be deplored. But it need not dis,
courage single Christian. The TACT
is that the church is still spiritual in
stitution and fourishes only where this
fact is recognized. Costly buildings
and fine organs do not make church
but churches of great power exist wher
ever spiritual men come together
whether it is in the log hut or the
cathedral.

Money in the Churches.

The situation in one Of the local
Methodist churches is so similar to the
conditions prevailing in many Method
list churches that it raises the question
whether the episcopal system is not
losing its grip and being succeeded by
that of individual church selection.
The Methodist church was founded by
Wesley with the purpose that system
should be followed in all things. Among
other provisions made by him was one
for the moving Of the pastors from one
place to another. He had two objects
in view, the education of the people and
the education Of the preachers. .-
The PASTORS term was originally six
months, but it was gradually extended
until it became five years. Then the
church took a leap in the dark. It re.
moved the time limit entirely. From
that hour the distinction between the
status of Congregational and Meth
odist pastor began to disappear. Today
it is found that in both churches the
congregations rule, in one openly and
legally, in the other by political pressure
on the bishops.
The general superintendent In the
Methodist church are no longer supreme
The large churches dictate to them, thu
smaller churches compromise with them
only the smallest obey them without {
Z protest.
In transferring the real power owe:
appointments from the bishops to thu
people something has been lost as vel
as gained. The loss is most distinctl,
