On Monday suggestion was made
11y some of our leading business men
concerning the location Of site for the
ice and electria light plants, that is wor-
thy Of consideration by the mayor and
council if the matter Of location has not
already gone too far. 1t is pointed out
that this would be an excellent oppor-
tunity to makea deal with either the ice
orGght plant company, or both, to do the
city's water pumping. One Of these
men who has given the matter consider
able study says that if these plants were
erected on the bottoms Immediately south
Of the railroad south of Main street, it
would afford nice opening for the city
to drive sand points into Elm creek, con.
ned to the city mains and thus have
never failing supply Of good, clean, cool
water the year around. He estimates
that the company could and would do
the city's pumping at rate much less
than the amount annually expended
maintaining the ditch and dam and it
would put an end to the water shortage
we experience so often as well as make
it more sanitary. If the ice and electric
companies expect to be furnished with
city water under the present system they
are liable to be disappointed at times when
water is most needed. These are, of course,
merely Suggestions but it occurs to us
that they are worth investigating. IF there
is chance for the city to get a better
water system and at less expense, it seems
to us that the mayor and council should
take advantage of it.

HER NEWEST INTEREST.

Missionary work is the grand

the Russian Orthodox church does
not concern itself much with the con-
version of the heather; but there are
active missions In the Volga provinces.
which are largely inhabited by Mo-
hanmedan Tartnrs. and even by
heather, such as the Tchuvashcs who
are the descendants of the old Sha-
man tire-worshipers. In this district
the grand duchess addressed Il Mo-

villagers to come over to the Chris
tian fold. She subscribed $4,000 to n

REGAL PILGRIM.

The feature of the grand duchcss's
conversion which eXcitcs the most
comment Is the fact that she com
bincs religious humility with treineh-
lous pomp and ceremony. Az present
the grand duchess is finishing u series
OF prolonged visits TO all the most
famous inconsistencies and shrines IN
the empire. Never did pilgrim travel
with such royal state. In the special
train travel q whole host OF sccre-
taries, aides-de-camr. and high ccclc-
siaStics. The procedure is to VISIT inc
ernonasterics, hear divine service IN inc
local chapel. adore tho sacred images,
and whirl away By special train 10
the next monastery. All Russia Is put
to work to make the pilgrims prog
ress easy. Governors and all the hiEh
officials meet the train; peasants are
impressed to mend the roads: and
order temporarily rcigns everywhere.
Tho grand duchess probably does not
realise what her religious exaltation
costs. The wording of the kilograms
which she sends to bishops and
monastery archlmandrltcs shows how
absorbed she is III her devotions. At
Ijfn in East Russia she Joined re-
