Then and Now.
A. j. Russell
in the Minneapolis Journal.

An invitation from the American
Press Humorists to pay up dues to
and attend a meeting of the assOcia-
tion Los Angeles contains picture of
a humorist at work at his typewriter
pounding out his copy, while the
smoke from his pipe contains pictures
of his standard subjects, such as the
MotheI-in-Law, the Goat, the UNI
brella, the Chicken Crossing the
Road and the Weary Willie looking
for a handout. You will notice that
from this list the man taking up and
beating the carpet and the man put
ting up the stovepipe have disap-
peared. This was the humor Of the
early seventies, when the American,
as a rule, had carpets instead of
oriental rugs and used stoves instead
of furnace. With the passing of
stoves and carpets, our national hu-
NOR is sadly bereft. But we may
have no fear on the ground of the
mother-in-law or the umbrella.
They are likely to remain,
Mankind little appreciates what
conditions it has risen out of in the
doing away with stovepipes and
carpets. Taking up and laying a
carpet is one of the most terrible ex-
periences in existence. 1t has left a
grizzly trail of profanity, pounded
thumbs and skinned knees extending
from the early days of the republic
down to the Garfield administration.

AFTER LAND
Four who Proved up Again
asked to Give More
Evidence.

Government officials are
here taking evidence from
several parties who proved
up on land during the last
few months and whose
proofs were protested.
One of the parties is Miss
Anna Peterson, a school
teacher, who proved up on
only forty acres, the land
being close to her fathers
ranch. She is a very relig-
ious young lady and would
not beat Uncle Sam or any
one out of an acre of land,
taking great care to live up
to the. letter of the law.
She taught school and also
attended college at Nit
chell during the time she
was holding down her
claim. She spent all her
money on the claim during
these years and in order
that she might give it her
devoted attention, made it
her only love by refusing
an offer of marriage. Now
to have to fight in court to
hold the forty or rather to
prove that what she swore
to at the time of proof was
true she considers a rank

BREWING
There's a Chance for Con.
testing the City Elec.
tiOn, its Thought.

There is strong talk by
the license people who were
defeated at the recent elec-
ton to take the matter into
court and have the 3rd
ward, which gave the large
prohibition vote, thrown
out on an irregularity in
making the returns. If the
contention of the license
people should be sustained
a recount would have to be
had and if the matter could
not be adjusted in that way
the whole election might be
declared void. The prohi-
bition people claim that in
the other wards that gave
license a majority there
were technical mistakes al
50 that would throw them
out so the prospect for
trouble is bright.

does not end the trouble.

WATER RENTS
Must be Paid by Tenants
or Guaranteed by
Landlords.
WILL PROTECT THE CITY

The board of public service adopted
a resolution yesterday morning which
compels property owners or tenants
to guarantee payment of water rents,
thereby insuring the city from loss by
non-payment. Hereafter tenants will
either be obliged to put up cash de-
posit OF get the landlord to give a
satisfactory guarantee.
This is to guard against tenants
moving out after using water several
months thereby causing considerable
trouble to the water department in
collecting the rent. 1t will apply to
fiat rates as well as where meters
are in use.
Secretary Double said that in only
two instances have they had trouble
In this way during his administration
but that this plan has been adopted
in other cities and the city might as
we'll be on ,ne safe side.
The annual report OF City Weigh
master Christ Volser was received
yesterday morning. The report gave
the total number Of loads weighed
on the city scales as 1890, bringing in
total of $752. The report was ac-
cepted and placed on hle.
Clerk Faust was instructed to noti-
fy the B. & o. and the ~. o. T. to
repair their crossings on South Mar
ket street.
When Charles Angerretti, who has
been given the job of repairing the
noor in the q. A. r. post room in
the Auditorium commenced work the
discovery was made that not only the
flooring but the stringers had also
decayed and the concrete base on
which these rested had erumbled.

Boone, June "A way out OF the
municipal difficulty at Madrid, in this
county, has been found. Once more the
council is to consist Of more than one
man, which has been the case since all
resigned but one member.
City Solicitor Creighton has handed
in his decision, finding that j. @.
Wilson, the only remaining member
of the board, has power to appoint
members to fill the vacant places.
The decision was reached only after
the matter had received careful con-
sideration. The opinion of the at
torney general of the state was in
voked, but that official thru deputy,
rendered decision entirely foreign to
the relief hoped for. Mr.. Creighton
has therefore been forced to act upon
his own initiative and after consuita-
ton with other attorneys rendered the
opinion above referred to.
The tangle has been very undesir-
able one, and has attracted wide at
tention. Mr.. Wilson is moving with
great carefulness and deliberation. in
making the appointments. They will
be made at the next regular meeting
night of the council, the first Monday
Of the coming month.
