No Change in Franchise

Regarding the question submitted
at the coming city election for n
franchise to the Upper Iowa Power
Co., we are informed that the facts
are these: The franchise which has
been granted is satisfactory and no
more rights are asked for than were
voted at the special election when the
proposition was carried last summer.
That the notice of election published
perly worded is claimed by the law
ysrs who have to approve the bonds,
therefore the question is submitted
again with the notice worded as they
wish it. 1t is merely a correction of
a technical error in wording, and
necessary to avoid any possible
Litigation in the future.

Resolutions.

The congregation at Unity church
on Sunday morning adopted un-
animously the following resolutions,
to be sent to the President, Senate and
House of Representatives:
Whereas, the most inbuman
atrocities are being perpetrated in the
Congo Free State, and
Whereas, these atrocities are in
flicted upon a weaker people through
the avarice and heartlessness of a
stronger, and
Whereas, the United States govern
ment, in good faith at the time, had
part in the international agreement
which formed the Congo Free State,
and therefore is in part responsible
for the opportunity which the Congo
government has so fagrantly misused,
therefore,
Resolved, that we as American
citizens ask our government through
our President. Senate and House of
Representatives. TO remove from our
nation the disgrace of continued
completely in horrible crime by
offering to cooperate with other
nations for the purpose of promoting
impartial investigation and of securing
authoritative adjudication.
