The closing lecture Of the Ladies' Aid

exceptionally good attendance was pres

this the popular theme no doubt had
something to do. 1t was "James Whit

knows something about and loves. The
leeturer-Rev. Davenport-is one Of the
many admirers Of the Hoosier poet and
betrayed his enthusiasm in his talk. He
has had this lecture in preparation for
some time. 1t is not trimmed at the edges

satisfactory that no other candidate
would be named. But friends Of the ru-
raj sehoolhouse view seemed 70 think
they would come nearer TO getting what
they: wanted by naming another man.
and Ralph p. Collins Is put In nomimna-
ton. There does not seem 10 bs any
pronounced objection to Mr.. Collins
among our people in town. the apparent
view being that he would mako good
school director. But hs seems 70 come
as an aftsrthought, and the many whohave
committed themselves to Mr.. Hall TO tho
extent Of encouraging him To take the
nomination against his will. can hardly
do otherwise than give him their hearty
support.

position Of protecting tho people in their
access to tank wator from other sources
besides than tho Fowler Springs.
Mayor Pollock pressed tho point Of the
Importance OF spring water to tho dovel-
opment Of the town.
The outcome was the adoption, by
vote Of s to /, Of hypothetical resolu-
ton yet 10 DO drawn by tho city attorney.
which would accept the Fowler peoples
proposition. with the provlso that the city
should not undertake to prevent any out
side party from buying city water by
metre and selling It by the tank to Gus
toners wanting it.
As one section Of the Fowler agree
ment proposes to give the Spring Water
company a twenty year monopoly Of tho
city tank service. this resolution will prob
ably not meet with the Companys ap-
proval and will lead to its rejection.
The council adjourned to four o'clock
