STILL IN SPACE IS
PLAN TO BUILD A
Railroad and Pumping Plant
Here.
DEFINITE ACTION is DEFERRED
Council In Regular Session Again
Talked Upon Proposed Utilities But
the Whirr of the Railway IS stu Far
in the Euture.

For nearly two hours last night the
city council listened to argument o
representatives of the two companies
desiring contract with the city for
supplying lights and water, and at $3.50
O'Clock went into executive session ia
consider the two propositions filed.
1t seems to be a case of chow happy
| could be with either, were t'other
dear charmer away"
Each side made an exhaustive pre-
sentation of It's case, and there is really
little difference in the two PROPOSE
tions. The competition is very keen
and each party has made many con-
cessions.
Mr.. Joseph Roman and Judge Allen
Fort each spoke in advocacy of the
proposition submitted by Mr.. Roman
and his associates, while Mr.. w. A.
Dodson covered fully the proposition
submitted by himself and local associ-
ates and Leroy Davidson & Co.
The latter is large and well known
corporation of New York.
In each proposition is embodied an
agreement to construct and operate an
electric street railway, not less than
three miles in length and to be in
creased as business may demand.
Each company submits figures for
lighting the city, under contract for a
period of years, and also for installing
machinery for pumping water into the
city's mains and standpipe. There is a
graduated scale which cheapens as the
supply is increased.
AS to the water contract, that of Mr..
Dodson and his associates is cheaper,
course of twenty years, there would be
saving to the city of about $4,000.
Mr.. Dodson also agrees to make a
material cut in the price of gas from
prices now paid by consumers.
The Roman proposition, as stated
heretofore, contemplates the installa-
UAOA VI an OhIlAOAy LOW OAOSCAAS PAM
and equipment, furnishing electric
lights and also the power for the Ope-
ration Of various enterprises. The
cost of lights to the city and consumer
is fully set forth,
This is separate and distinct from
any gas plant which might hereinafter
be procured by the company.
Mr.. Dodson's proposition cOntem-
plates the purchase of the present gas
plant here and likewise the electric
plant, utilizing such portion of it as
deemed expedient, though new and
modern machinery is to be installed
and large sum ofmoney thus invested
therein.
The propositions of each company
was fully and clearly set forth, and
eithek one is very favorable for the
city, il would seem. After hearing
from the gentlemen interested, council
vent into closed session for the pur-
pose of more fully discussing each
proposition made.
While nothing conclusive was ex-
pected as the result of last nights meet
ing, hope is expressed that one of the
propositions will be accepted shortly.

NATURES CATARRH cure,
Sensible and Scientific Way to Cure
This Disasreesble Disease.

Nearly everyone suffers at one time
cor another with catarrh.
The natural way to cure this dis
agreeable disease is by applying heal
ing indications direct to the diseased
spot.
In no other way can this be done as
naturally as by the use of Hyomei,
breathed through the neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit.
Put several drops of Hyomei in the
inhaler and then for a few minutes,
four or five times a day, let the air you
breath come through it. In that way
all the air that enters the nasal pas
sages, the throat or the lungs is filled
with Hyomei's healing medication,
reaching the most remote air cells OF
the respiratory organs, destroying all
catarrhal germs and soothing and heal
ing the irritated mucous membrane.
A few days use of Hyomei will show
how quickly it relieves all catarrhal
conditions, and you will not have to
use it long before you find it has eff
fected complete and lasting cure.
So strong is DOdsOn's Drug Store
faith in the power of HyOmei to cure
catarrhal troubles that with every
dollar outfit they give a guarantee tC
refund the money unless the remedy
gives satisfaction, they take all the re.
sponsibility and you cannot afford tC
suffer longer with catarrh when an of
fer like this is made to you.
Should extra bottles of Hyomei be
needed they can be obtained for SOC
making this one of the most economical
as well rs the most reliable remedies fol
catarrh that is known. IL, %, /.

The Passing of Courtroom oratory.

The Passing of Courtroom OraTOry.
Inspiration is a lost art in the court
room. Nowadays no true lawyer ad,
vises, prepares documents or tries a
case without a careful preparation.
Forensic oratory has passed away. Ne
longer does the crowd gather in the
county courthouse to listen to and BE
moved by the wit, pathos and slo-
quence of the advocate as for hours or
days he addresses the jury. The col lrt-
voom may be filled, but it is largely
with the ubiquitous reporters, manyAof
whom are as destitute of tears as So
hara Of water and as callous to emoN
ton as the mummied sleepers of
Egypt. No longer is it true that weep
ing men and women with handker
chiefs to their eyes are moved by the
eloquence of counsel. Time is press
ing factor. Facts rather than elo-
quence is the demand.-D. G. Brewer
