james Russell, a stranger suffering
very aggravating attack of rheuma-
tism, was a guest at the police station
over night and was helped on his way
home to Kentucky by the county
which furnished him transportation as
far as Quincy today. He is plumber
by occupation and worked at Fairfield.
From there he went to Burlington and
to go to work, and spent four weeks
in the hospital there where he was
told that he must get away from this
climate. Marshal Kenney bought him
a new pair of crutches and shoes and
he went his way rejoicing.
Iowa City does not monkey much

ter crusade of a few years ago, the
following dispatch from Iowa City will
be of interest here: Iowa City, Iowa,
Feb. 7.-Specfal: The council here
has ordered the city solicitor to pre-
pare an ordinance cutting down the
price OF water 80 per cent to private
consumers. This action is the result
of the failure of the water company
to take suitable steps to remedy the
water situation in Iowa City, it ap-
pearing by chemical tests that the
city water has been unfit to drink for
many months. The superintendent of
! the water companw this week sent
estimates to the head of the company,
who live in San Diego, Cal, showing
the relative cost of a filtering plant,
driven wells and artesian wells, and
it is thought that the councils definite
action will cause reply to be re-
ceived from California in a big hurry.
