Who said the cost Of Croton water in 100
was $115 million gallons, or anything like that
preposterous sum? 1t was probably not one
fourth as much. Croton water has not in more
than generation, If ever, cost half as much as
that. The highest it has cost in the last forty
years was $40 II. In 1889. In 1898 it cost less
than $50 million gallons. and to-day Is proba-
bly, costing not more than SIS

individuals, "all honorable men" But the
fact remains that the Ranapo company tried to
make a contract with this city to furnish it with
water at $40 the million gallons. when the city's
own engineers estimated the total cost to the
city Of getting It itself. from the same source,
would be only $50 81 the million; and the Ram
apo company tried to force the city into paying
that nonstrously extortionate price by secur-
Ing as It thought, all the available water privi-

for water.
Our correspondent doubtless means well, but
he is egregioIsly misinforned. It is some years
too late to vindicate Ranapo.

PENSION DECISIONS
ny tho Assistant Secretary OF
tho Department 0f tho
Interior.

JuRfspfcTIoN.-The decree Of
divorce obtained by the soldier IN
the State OF Arkansas In 1870,
against the claimant, who was IN
the state OF Illinois, is void for the
reason that the statutory require
ment that the waning order should
be published was not complied
with.
SRRvIcE.-As the claimant was
with his command only a week or
two and then went home and re-
manned there until the company
was about to be mustered out, his
place, in the meantime taken by
another man who answered to his
name at roll call, il not beng shown
that be received a sick furlough as
alleged, he did TOT serve 90 days
within the rSeaning of the act of
June AZ 1890, and was not entitled
to pension hereunder.
LINE OF DUTY.-When prior
soundness is shown, and a reasona-
BILE degreee of proof that the injury
was sustained in the service is fur
nished, there being no cireumstan-
ces which would raise a suspicion
that it was incurred outside the line
of duty. aud such injury is shown
to have existed at discharge, it will
be presumed that the injury was in
Cured in line of duty.
SRRvIcE-INDIAN WARS The
Department can see and define but
two conditions which confer a PEN
sionable under status the act of June
27,Too2; First. A record showing
that the soldier was regularly mus.
tered in, served thirty days or more
and was h~onorably discharged I'M
der the United States Military,
State, Territorial, or provisional
authority. Second. In the absence
of such record of service.
NJ oE--CoNsANcuINity-IN-
FANTs.-A marriage between sn
uncle and his niece is valid in the
state of New York.
The marriage in the State Of New
York Of a female under I3 YeSrs
of age IS valid though voidabls; but
can not be avoided il she cohabits
with her husband after she becomes
OF the age Of legal consent.

Bidwell, March 20.-The Ladies Ai6
society of the Christiansburg M. E
church has been meeting one evening
each week in a social gathering
at different dwellings in the vicinity of
Bidwell and these meetings have been
the source of much pleasure to those
who have participated in them, and
of much profit to the Aid society.
Light refreshments are served for
which small fee is charged thereby
increasing the treasury and helping
beautify their place of worship.
And not only this, the people have
been getting acquainted with each
other, becoming knitted together more

tual interest.
Last Tuesday evening, March IA, the

oTTUMWA NEED NOT PAY
THE FIT. MADISON BONDS
(Coptinued from Page one.)

pose to do So have carefully con,
s1dered the arguments and briefs OF
counsel and cases cited and have re.
ce1ved the following conclusions:
think 1t may be conceded that the
bond holders stand as slated by Judge
Waterman, in his brief, gin the shoes
OF the owner of the land'' and occupy
the same position as though the owner
I, of the land had received the bonds
from the city in payment for his land
and then sold them to the present
holders. At least I have reached that
conclusion. think that the conclusion
of Judge Eichelberger in ruling in the
former demurrers in this case are
fully sustained and justified by the
latest discussions of our supreme court
and hence conclude that said bonds
are not valid and binding as nego-
| table instruments. If the court is
justified in recognizing some Of the
statements in the opinion of the SUI
preme court in the case of the City
OF Sioux City VS.. Weare SO, Iowa 95,
as authority on the question, then cross
petitions may recover on said bonds
as non-negotiable instruments.
In the absence of any opinion from
our own supreme court and as an orr
ginal proposition this court would be
strongly inclined to hold that the City
Of Ottumwa had implied authority to
issue said bonds as nego-
table instruments, but our SUI
preme court has, think, clearly
told to the contrary, in the case Of
Witter ct. al. VS.. Board of Supervisors
III Iowa $50, as well as the case Of
Helms, VS.. Lincoln, 1O2 Iowa 50.
l am Of the opinion that as applied
to the facts in the instant cases. i'm
piled power to issue bonds would
mean such bonds as are usually and
customarily issued for such purposes.
namely negotiable bonds.
AS applied to the facts in these
cases can see no good reason for
the distinction made by Judge Adams
in the opinion that the supreme court.
as now constituted, is of the contrary
opinion, judging from it's more recent
holdings in cases more or less similar.
l conclude therefore that no action can
be maintained on said bonds, as non
negotiable instruments.
1 am further clearly of the
opinion that the statute of
limitations is complete bar
to cross-Detitions rights to recover
in these cases unless recovery can be
had on the bonds as written contracts
and having held that it cannot. it
follows that the demurrers of plaintiff
and having held that it cannot, 1t
swers and cross-bills Of said Lamberta
and said insurance company ought to
be and the same are hereby sustained
to which said defendants and cross
petitioners except, and are each given
thirty days to file bills of exception.
