ing approximately a times as
much as 1t was before.
"Under the old contract with
the private corporation the city
would now be paying $4,000 per
month for what the city supplies
at a cost Of 81 100 per month, go
that considering the increased
amount Of light at present used,
in connection with the reduced
rate, the city Is really and actually
ahead Of the old private lighting
contract *l.S45 per month, or 1872,
l4O per annum Besides, the city
now secures a lamp Of the highest
efficiency, giving a perfectly white
light, at cost; whereas, under pri.
vate ownership. the city secured
the lowest possible efficiency, CIV
ing a yellow glare, and at an exor-
bitant price.

"But 1t il when we en- ter the

served. When the municipal plant
began supplying city light and
power, the rate charged private
consumers throughout the city by
the Edison Company was Is cents
per kilowatt hour, less Eve per
cent for prompt payment, or 14.25
cents net. The city Immediately
cut the rate to eight cents per Kill
owatt hour, a reduction of 43 per
cent. Within three months, or as
fast as the meters could be install.
ed, we took only 75O consumers,
which was the capacity of the
plant. The average bill of these
consumers at the old rate was
SO IS per month. The average
oill under the city rate il o. 80
per month, which represents q saw.

ture of the $3.50, 900 just voted for
the enlargement Of the municipal
plant, we will be able to care for

1--WE have talked to a number of
people during the past few days
over the proposition to have the
town establish, own, and operate
a first-class water works and cleo
trio light system in Plaquemine
and from the many expressions we
have heard the sentiment seems to
be very strong in favor Of munich
pally owned plants, to be operated
in connection, one with the other,
and thereby making great saving.
Many of the progressive towns
own their water works and cleo
trio lieht plants, and these are not
only giving satisfaction 10 the peo
pie, but have proven revenue pro-
ducers az we'll, and it seems that
this could be easily done here.
It's lead pipe cinch the service
could never become 90 rotten and
utterly bad an it has been in
Plaqueiaine, particularly 90 in re-
spect to electric lights, for as to
them, 1t was now you had them
and now you ,iidn't all the time.
It's also entirely safe to say that
no such arrangement az has been
inflicted upon the people of
Plaquemine for the several years
past would be thought of, and If the
people IT the town really want the
proper service they should demand
and secure the abrogation of the
present franchise which has been
defaulted on.
Surely No person, unless te hae
some selfish in arest at stake, will
pretend to saJ 1t the town and
the people have received any thing
like the service demanded in the
franchise, aud the default is 30
plain that even the school children
are wondering why the town does
not call . halt and have the fran
chise abrogated.
Now IL certainly the time to act.
The Weekly 1berville South does
not believe that the people want
all their rights and inter ests
trampled under foot to satisfy a
few individuals who seem to be
trying to take over affairs to be
ueed to their own advantage and
proat. The water works and the
electric lights are for the public
service and not primarily for indi-
vidual pelf. The people will scarce
" stand BY idly and permit fnrth.
or imposition upon their patience
and their good sense. They quite
fully understand the purposes and
the Intentions Of those who are en-.
deavoring to keep the public In
the dark while they accomplish
their purpose Of turning what
ought to b. . public trust into !
private snap.

The Right Man in the Right Place.


1t is to be sincerely hoped that
the board of control will make
no mistake in a selection Of a
new warden for the Jackson state
prison. Now is the time, if ever.
the state needs the right man at
the head Of that institution
The True Northerner endorses
the candidacy of Wesley J.
Thomas not as a matter of local
pride, not as a matter Of personal
friendship for Mr. Thomas, but
because there is no question that
as warden of that institution he
would be the right man in the
right place. 1t needs not only a
man of excellent judgment aud
exceptional executive ability, but
it needs a business man I'm the
strictest sense of the word. a
man Of experience, broad minded
and with systematic business
methods. All these qualifica-
tions and more has Mr.. Thomas.
He would be a warden for whom
there would never be the need of
an apology Although yet a
young man, he has had years of
experience along the lines that
show his true worth as man,
and strengthen and develop the
natural and executive faculties
with which he is endowed. Every
man, regardless of party, who is
acquainted with him, will en-.
dorse his candidacy for the
appointment, because. as has
already been stated; There
is no question but that he
would be the right man in the
right place. His candidacy
should aud we trust it will re.
ceive the favorable consider.

He Knew the Folks.

An amusing comment was made by
miner at an ambulance lecture in
Elphinstone. East Lothian, Scotland,
recently. The lecturer hal stated that
If suffocation from choking was like
ly to ensue, the simplest remedy to
give relief till medical aid arrived was
to take a fine-pointed pen-knife and
make a small incision in the throat
One of the miners then shouted: "Ye
dinna ken Elphinstone folks. If was
to try that the morn, here's what wad
happen: If that man died his folk
wad haze me prosecuted for murder
and if he got better he himself would
be the first to prosecute me for cutting
his throat"

Warned of Fathers Death.

There was a peculiar coincidence in
connection with the sudden death of
the Alkham (Kent, England) village
blacksmith, Mr.. James Pay. His
daughter, who was in service with a
doctor in a neighboring village, went
to her mistress on the day of her IA
theirs death, stating that she had a
feeling that she must go home AS the
girl seemed anxious, her mistress al
lowed her to go, and she arrived home
in time to witness the death Of her
father, 20 minutes after he had been
working at his forge.

Mild Laxative
for Baby Free

II he Child OF To-Day is the parent OF
the future, and whether II grows up
healthy and strong, or puny and weak,
depends upon the intelligence OF its
parents, for most children are born
into the world healthy, but thousands
become future weaklings between
birth and the age of ten, when the
parents are still in greatest control.
The prime cause of trouble is in the
stomach. baby that is digesting its
food seldom cries and always looks cheer
full; the little child whose stomach is good
romps and plays and never whines; the
growing child learns well at school and IS
eager for fun if its head is clear and its
stomach light and that means If 1t has
no constipation.
The best and safest way TO cure any
irTegularity Of the stomach and bowels
In children is by The use Of DR.. CALDWELL
Syrup Pepsin. This is o liquid laxativ-
wonderful in its effect as Mrs. John "
Durham, Apple Creek, o.. Mrs. II. =.
Cullam, Plainville. Ind, and numerous
others can testify who give 1t to Ihcir
children with extraordinary results.
A bottle only costs so cents or ~ ac-
cording TO the size you want, and even
one 5O-cent bottle will do a wonderful
amount OF good in n family. IL can be
constipation, sour stomach. Indigestion.
torpid liver, dyspepsia, heartburn, sick
headache and similar digestive troubles.
It never gripes or strangles like pills,
tablets, salts and powders, which should
not be given to children, women or old
folks.
II YOU have child or other member OF
the family who needs, but has never used
this grand laxative tonic, send your name
and address TO the doctor and free trial
way you can find out what IL will do
without personal expense.
