Waseca's water and Light Plant.

Waseca. MINI. Jan. 27.-Municipal
ownership of the water and light plant
OF the city of Waseca seems to have
been q failure. The funds Of the board
of control have been tied up by many
garnishnonts. The present board
claims that debts were unlawfully
contracted by tho old board and that
this has resulted in SO many actions
against tho present hoard for the pay
lnent Of old bills that it is unable to
settle them. At a. meeting of the city
council last evening the present board
requested aid from tho city, in the
shape Of funds, to tide them over, or,
as two members of the board said, tho
plant will be closed down inside of IL
month.

4 Former Resident Of Minneapoli,
Passes Away in Seattle.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 23.-(SpeciaD-
After Il short illness of typhoid fever,
Thomas O'Hara passed away at Prov
idence Hospital. Seattle, on January
18th The funeral services were held
on Sunday afternoon, January Goth, at
the Church Of the Immaculate Con-
ception. Rev. Father Post, S. j., who
off1ciated, paid touching tribute to
the character and life Of the deceased,
holding him up as an example to tho
large congregation present. The fun
eral was under the auspices Of Divi-
sion No. Of the Ancient Order Of Hi
berians, and was also attended by the
Electrical Workers Union, Of which
he was a member. In spite Of the in
clemercy of the weather, both organ
izations turned out in large numbers.
thereby showing the estimation in
which he was held by all.
Among the floral offerings were a
cross from the Electrical Workers, and
a harp from the A. o. H., typifying
the two things so dear to the heart Of
Bro. O'Hara, his Church and his ma
tive land. Bro. O'Hara was we'll known
in Minneapolis, having been for many
years an active member of Division
No. /, A. o. H., Of that city, and Of
which, at the time Of his death, he
was an insured member. He leaves to
mourn his loss a. wife and three small
children and his brothers, Patrick, John

crs We're Edward Doran, Eugene Dor
an, John Loughren. William Walsh,

"The Seven Last Words Of Christ"

The rehearsals for the oratorio, "The
Seven Last Words Of Christ" by Du-
bois, to be given in Holy Rosary
church on Tuesday evening, Feb. 18th,
arc progressing admirably and the
work will be produced in fine form.
Particular interest has been aroused
i'm the production OF this work partly
by the fact that the Holy Rosary Choir
al Union is the largest Catholic choir
in the United States. Moreover, the
choral union has been in existence less
than 4 year and has already. under the
direction Of Nine. Rosa d'Erina and
Mr.. de T. Vontom, made itself felt
musically. Many Catholics from 9TH
err parishes are anxious to hear this
great chorus and it is likely that the
seating capacity OF the church will
be taxed to the utmost. Excellent re-
served seats, in full view of the organ
and choir, may be had at Is cents and
anyone desiring to secure reserved
seats may do SO by telephoning the Do
minican Fathers. RENTING the price
Of the seats not less than three days
before the date Of the production. Seats
may also be reserved by mail on the
same conditions. Tho general admis-
sion will be only so cents. There arc
only limited number of reserved
seats.

a successful close at McMahon's Hall.

day. january %. a ball was given
i'll honor OF the delegates at Perfect
Union Hall, In the evening.
Previous TO adjournment James
Kelly Of Minneapolis, chairman OF the
finance committee, presented his re-
port, showing a splendid financial con-
dition. He recommended that tho
financial basis Of the constitution re-
main the same, which was adopted.
Tile report Of the organization COM
mittce. james p. Crawford. chairman,
was interesting. dealing with the pol
lev Of the organization in taking in
the railway clerks. The report was
adopted and the delegates expressed
themselves as intending to work for
the merging Of the Freight Handlers
and Clerks.
r. j. Walters, chairman Of the reso-
buttons committee, reported favorably
on several proposed measures, one OF
which was the resolution introduced
by Delegate James Kelly to petition
the legislative committee OF the Cen
trail Trades and Labor Council of
Minneapolis to work for the enact
ment of n law in the Minnesota legis-
lature providing for Il semi monthIy
pay day in the freight sheds and rail-
road offices.
The selection Of the next place OF
meeting, in January, 1909, was then
put before the house, and Minneap-
oils. Mimi, was advanced by Mr.
Kelly, while Delegate Joseph Roland
put forward a strong claim for his
home town, Jersey City. The con-
test was exciting, but when the
counting was finished 1t was found
that Jersey City had won by two
votes.

reelected to that position without OPP
position. James Kelly. president Of tho
Minneapolis Railway Clerks. was

districts who usually come to the last

impossible snowdrifts. Some distance
outside Sligo on the characterization

Il depth of seven feet. compelling peo-
pie travelling to take to tho fields. at
Il great risk. Large numbers Of sheep
wintcring on the slopes of Ben Bulbin
cannot be found, and it is feared that
they must have been smothercd in the
snowdrifts. which arc of a gigantic

people who have to go daily to the

Wage Farmers Pay tho Bills.

During tho years 1HO1-1905 the ratio
or wages paid in Great Britain de-
clncd to such an extent that at the
end Of that period the workers were
getting 100000 less Il week tllan in
1900, says a writer relative to munici-
pal ownership. The total loss in wages
for the five years. as compared with
the wage scale OF 1900, was more than
mentary report from which those fig
,res are taken records q reaction dur
ing the first half OF this year, but the
increase is but Il bagatelle compared
with tho enormous loss recorded
above.
AS England is the country where
government and municipal ownership
is most general, these figures show
that public ownership does not raise
wages in general, but raises the wages
Of the few al the expense Of the many.
This tremendous reduction in wages
is due largely TO increased taxation
caused by the losses of the govern
ment and municipal industries; for
higher taxes mean higher rents and
a general increase in the cost of pro-
duction, which must be offset in some
way II England is to maintain her
trade in the face of the worlds COM
petition. The easiest way to econo-
mzc is to cut wages, and so the
wage Garner has had to pay for nu-
nicipal experiments both in lower
wages and higher rents.

vote for municipal ownership he should
