The following proposition presented
by Electric Light Co.:
To the Mayor and Common Council, City
of Mineral Point.
Gentlemen
In reply to your request, we have
gone over the ground and figured the
cost of the proposed additional street
lights. We find that the estimate of
81. per month per light is none too high
considering the cost of installing the
lights in the locations named.
We realize however the pressing need
of the additional lights and we want to
do all that We can to give the city the
best of service
We will therefore accept your offer
of SIPS per month or $500 additional
per year for the SO additional lights.
These additional lights and the 5 lights
still due you to be installed at our ex-
pense, provided you will reduce the rent
al of the city lots on which our plant is
located, from $3.50 to 800 per year.
Yours very truly,
MINERAL POINT ELECTRIC LIGHT co.
Per F. C. Ludden, Sec'y.
On motion Of Alderman Blewett prop
osition be not accepted and proposition
made by the committee to Electric
Light Co. 1. E. Getty to pay SIS per
year per light with extra lights up to
$500 be approved.

HOIRS--NEW CASES IN MANILA

ST PETERSBURG. Sept. %
Since the beginning OF the epidemic
there have been $50 cases of Asia
tic cholera reported in Russia and
7,102 deaths. In ST. Petersburg alone
since the presence'of the disease was
officially admitted September Sth.
there have been 4.931 cases and l.S7l
deaths reported
For the twenty-four hours ending
at noon the number of new cases in
the city was PCS and the number of
deaths 143. as compared with 3f2
new cases and l53 deaths for the
previous twenty-fonr hours.
Difficulty has been experienced in
dealing with the workmen of St. Pc
tersburg. whose families comprise
three-fifths of the population. as they
were unable and unwilling TO comply
with the sanitary precautions. The
ignorance of the lower orders and
the superstition of all classes greatly
increases the difficulty of the situa-
ton.
During the early stages of the
epidemic few could be prevailed up
on TO undergo preventative inoculat-
ion. which Is provided free of charge:
but latterly the authorities have
made incubation compulsory In some
quarters of the city.

WORk-HAD DROP WHEN MAN
HEARD HIS CALL.

John Doe Carr is again in the
county Jail with credit for his cap
ture due to undersheriff' A. J. Butler,
Mr.. Butler, after being on Carr's trail
ever since his escape from Jail about
two weeks ago. yesterday morning
at O'Clock landed him within a
quarter of a mile of the city limits
of Ely
Mr.. Butler with several deputies,
some of whom We're especially sworn
in for the hunt, have been on the
lookout for Carr for more than a
week. Mr.. Butler became convinced
several days since that Carr was hid
den up the canyon back of the public
school but could not locate the place
Yesterday morning he determined to
watch the trail to see ii he could
find onyone going up with supplies
About 200 yards up the trail he wait
ed behind boulder and was speedily
rewarded when Carr himself came
along, in his left hand a water bucket
and in his right cooked revolver.
Butler drew his revolver and placing
1t against Carr's breast told him he
was under arrest. Carr started to
raise his arm, but reconsidered and

at the Veteran and | am positive
that Veteran alone has nearly the
200 voters which he gives to all the
camps. said c. A. Bodell, head book
keeper with Cumberland Ely yester-
dav in the course of discussion of
the situation at the mines. Continu-
ing Mr. Bodell said:
Il know that the majority of the
men at the Veteran are indignant
at the way they were treated by the
commissioners and they have good
reason To he. You can't blame any
man for not wanting to go to Riepe-
town to vote or to register. 1t is a
long walk going and coming. and it
is not an attractive place for most
people after you do get there.

NEW CASES IN MANILA

MANILA. Sept. 29-There were
fourteen new cases and three deaths
reported for the twenty-four hours
ending at eight o'clock this morning.
Practically the entire stats of the
bureau of sciences and the local medi-
cal schools have been drafted into
the service to fight the disease. The
two senior classes of the medical
schools are acting as nurses and att
endants at the various hospitals es-
tablished for the treatment of the
cholera patients.
A serious situation is caused by
the supply of disinfectants running
very low. The bureau of sciences is
experimenting with electricity and sea
water TO produce chlorine for use
until the new supply of disinfectants
arrive

official capacity with Gunn-Quealy

expressed complete satisfaction over
the fact that the coal troubles of

and the Gunn-Quealy company with
other Wyoming organizations, has
started operations again on partial
scale. 1t was the desire of many of
the miners not TO begin work until
the first of the month, so on Monday
morning partial force was set to
work underground. In speaking
about the Gunn-Quealy company, Mr.
Ford said:
II believe we have The best and
most thoroughly equipped plant for
for coal mining TO be found anywhere
From the very beginning no expense
was spared To place the mine in con-
dition to produce large tonnage,
and to guarantee the absolute safety
of the men employed. Everything
was put up substantially; it is there
to stay. | have taken a great many
coal mining experts through our mine
and everyone has agreed that We have
one of the most-if not the most
complete plants in the country. We
are now running at partial capacity
and are producing 1000 tons of coal
a day. Our ultimate capacity soon
to be gained will be 5000 tons daily. !"
