a. B. Quinton Says His Gas Company
Means Business.

Mr.. A. B. Quinton, who has been in
the east in the interests of a. gas COM
pany which will come before the city
council before long with the request
for a franchise. said today: "Our
company will meet the offers of any
other company now in the field or
which may enter in the field. We are
prepared to give as good terms and
rates to the city as any other COM
pany. We will put up as a guarantee
any amount which the council of this
city may decide should be asked. No
matter what the amount may be if We
make our demand for a franchise we
expect to put UP a forfeit to show that
we are in earnest with our intentions
Before I have anything definitely to
say, however, have some information
and data which I wish to present to
the mayor regarding natural gas for
franchises as issued in eastern cities
I have found out that 1T is not pronr-
able to burn gas for heat and light
for domestic purposes at rate IN al
vance of rs cents and that the rate for
manufacturing purposes should not be
higher than Is cents At rs cents per
thousand for domestic purposes the
rate is identical as a ~ cost per ton
of coal have further found out
that a franchise is not worth anything
unless the pressure is specified in the
franchise 1t may be all right for
lighting purposes but for heating II is
not worth much unless the pressure
to be furnished is mentioned The
pressure which is specified in the fran
chises granted in the east calls for
two ounces per square foot. I under
stand that not one franchise that has
been granted thus far has the pres

The Alumni Register of Washburn

ing alunnus is Perley Morse Griffin,

credited being 43.
An appeal is inclosed with the reg

of the McVicar memorial fund of
$4,000. This is a fund which the
members of the alumni particularly
are endeavoring to raise. Thus far
only about one-third of the amount
has been subscribed. The present Of
flcers of the alumni are; President,
Henry F. Burt '99; vice president,
Bertha l.. Ensign '92; secretary and
treasurer, Daisy NJ. Griggs 'O4.

well for the work which the college
has established itself, namely, edu-
eating useful men and women.

UP TO FEDERAL COURT.
Question OF Drug Store Injunction
May Be Heard.

The z. /. Evans drug store injunction
case may go to the federal court. An ap-
plication to remove the case to the federal
court was fled with Judge Dana Monday.
J. s. Codding and Frank H. Foster, act
ing for the State Temperance union,
brought an injunction case in the district
court against z. L. Evans, a druggist,
asking the court to enjoin him from oper-
ating a drug store and to entoin the own
ers of the building from renting to Evans.
The Injunction is asked for on the ground
that Evans has violated the prohibitory
law G. c. Clemens, attorney for Evans,
has asked for the removal to the federal
court as he says constitutional points are
involved, namely: that it Is contrary to
the fourteenth amendment to en3oin a
druggist from selling liquor for medical
or scientific purposes.
