KembIe,s Proposition Rejected.

| Plans for work on the hospital ex-
| tension of the northeast sewer are
again at a standstill and nothing fur
Their will be done until all members of
the council have made an inspection OF
the g"ould Two plans have been
considered, one to extend the line
along Eleventh street at cost of
about $1,400, and the other to accept
w. E. Kemble's proposition and make
direct cross cut across his property
which would reduce the expense about
$500. Mr.. Kemble offered to con-
struct and hereafter maintain the part
of the sewer which crossed his land
on condition that 1t be built according
| to his instructions and that he be
granted all the tappages for his green
house and homes necessary, not to
exceed four.
Mr.. Kemble was present at the meet
ing last evening and stated that he
had made the offer as an accommoda-
ton to the hospital association and
not to the city. He muck preferred
that the sewer should not cross his
premises, but ne was. afraid that If it
was built in the street that it would
injure the roots of his trees and his
curbine.
Ex-Mayor John C. Williams, as an
interested citizen, made an enthusiasts
tic declaration of the only proper
method of procedure at his point.
His plea was against useless ex-
penditure of money. He recalled the
fact that two years ago $500 was spent
by the city in order that plans might
be made for the best sewer system for
the city and that the plans were made
| by the most competent men in the
state, which provided for sewer
along the entire length of the boule-
ward east of Eleventh street and on
Eleventh south to A avenue. This
plan, while $500 more expensive for
the present than the other PROPOSE
tio1, will have to be built some day.
said MIR. Williams. and while it Is
necessary at this time to build an ex-
tension to the hospital. it is the only
reasonable proposition to follow the
plans which have been laid out at
such great expense,
Mr.. Kemble's proposition was re-
jected and the bids for the Eleventh
street sewer opened.

THE SEWER PROBLEM.
City Council, Commercial Club and
Citizens Interested.

Sewer problems of vital import
agce to the sanitary ard financial IN
terests OF the city have confronted the
members of the council for months.
Not entirely without avail have they
made personal inspections of the sites
of trouble and an Interesting trip to
the State college at Ames, but tangi-
Bile solutions are still wanting and no
practical proposition had met with the
approval OF the fathers when, after
| three hours Of earnest deliberation,
they adjourned their called meeting,
held in the city hall last evening.
Notices have been served on all Of
the residents near the Rock Island
tracks who have been emptying their
sewage into the open ditch in the rear
of the Hawkeye Overall factory, the
Anderson Canning factory alj the
Creamery building, ordering them to
cease doing so within seven days. The
time limit has expired, but the refuse
continues to follow it's beaten course.
The provisions of the notice left two
plans open to the operators of the fac
tories included among the OFFENDERS
to shut down their doors or be enjoin-
ell by the city. Neither plan has been
followed, and it is understood that
neither plan will be followed until
some other provision can be made for
the disposition of the refuse necessar-
| lily created in the operation of their
business. The purpose in issuing
these notices WAS merely to find out
who the parties are VINO help create
this nuisance and to bring the matter
before the council in some tangible
form. However, in whatever form it
appears, the problem continues to per-
lplex.
Commercial Club Interested.
| A committee from the Commercial
Club was given hearing on behalf OF
| fair treatment for the Anderson Can
lining factory, in view of the contract
which was made with the promoters
of the enterprise to persuade them to
erect their factory in the city. A
tappage was granted them before the
building of the septic tanks in that
part of the city and now it is found
THAT all of the sewage may be disposed
of with this arrangement with the ex-
ception of the tomato pealings, which
comprise the principal cause of com
plant in the refuse from this concern.
At the request of the Commercial Club
representatives, the mayor referred
the matter to the sewer committee,
who, in conjunction with the commit
tee of business men, are to call on Mr.,
Anderson and If possible work out a
definite proposition which may be
found mutually agreeable.

that in n spinning mills. with 20 to 100
employees each, the number of workers
is 1852; and in tho 14O spinning mills
with over 100 employees each, the
workers number 37,114; while 2b small
weaving mile give employment to 6,45s,
and 1S2 mills give employment to b.
s27. That there are very few large
mills is shown by the figures for Bo-
hema, where about 10 per cent of the
cotton mills of the dual monarchy are
situated. The 1856 cotton-spinning mills
there have 2e,764 employees and the cot
ton-weaving mills 46,125 employees
Tho small establishments are situated

sideraton of transportation facilities,
simply seeking the lower rate of wages
| These were formerly considerably low

but have so increased during the past
! few years that many small establish

mills (about 2O) in the last ten years

who have long been accustomed to
blow hard in many directions, about to
become noted among tho nations of the
earth for their excellent blowing on
wind Instruments? Until lately 1t was
believed that a good cornetist. good
futist, good oboe player. could not
be developed on this side of the water.
A short time ago, however, young
cornet player who had learned his art
entirely in the United States appeared
before the King of England and won
unstinted applause In the court Of that
royal connoisseur.
When American boys acquire such
skill without going abroad for 1t. there
Is surely something new in the wind.
Heretofore. while occasionally q ma
tive American who has started in car
ly and practised late-usually to the
discomfort of neighbors-has become
sufficiently skilled to secure a violin or
cello part in one of the important or
chestras of the county, the performers
on the pieces that require breath have
almost invariably been drawn from
abroad-the eXecutants on the brass
instruments being mostly Germans and
those on wood wind French. In the
Fatherland. where nearly all young
men must undergo CONSUMPTION. and
where regimental bands are about as
common as hand organs with us, good
players are trained in great numbers.
The brightest young Germans, in order
to escape the necessity of shouldering
a musket, begin as small boys to learn
to play the cornet or the flute. That
means that when the time comes for
sonng into the army they are virtuosi
of high attachments.
In this country the disadvantages of
CONSUMPTION are fortunately not pres
ent. OF late. however, the growing
Importance of orchestraS has set many
young men wondering why all tho po-
sitions demanding skill with flute, oboe
clarionet. bassoon, trumpet or French
horn, should be filled from abroad. An
ancient opposition exists between the
Instruments of string and wind. one
