THINGS YOU MAY WANT TO KNOW
Pungent Paragraphs Picked up by Our Peram-
bulating Pencil Pusher.

At a meeting held last Monday
evening, band of sixteen pieces
was organized. The greater part
of the money needed to purchase
instruments has been raised and
the business men and others will
be asked to help out ON the rest.
They will probably give literally
because a good band would be of
much benefit to the town. Laclede
has had good bands at various
times in the past and there is no
reason why we should not have
one now. The boys expect to
order their instruments at once
and begin practice and expect to
be able to give concerts by next
spring.

AS usual. everybody is getting
ready for the annual Laclede fair,
where you will meet all your old
friends and make many new ones.
The displays this year promise to
surpass anything ever shown be-
fore.

advantage of viii be the fact that

of Brookfeld. will be at the

What Electric Lights Will Cost You
spring.

There seems to be misunder-
standing on the part of a number
of our citizens with regard to
several things in connection with
the electric light question.
Some seem to think that the
mains will be erected only on
State street, and that all people
who live on other streets will have
to pay for the lines leading from
the mains to their homes. Nothing
could be further from the truth.
The city will be divided into dis
tricts and mains will be erected in
each district All you will have to
do if you you want lights is to
wire your house-on the inside
and notify the city that
you want lights. The city will
then erect the line from the mains
to your home and make connections,
without one cent of expense to
you.
Another thing that seems to
bother some is the expense Of
using the lights. 1t has even been
told that one man at Columbia, on
a rate of 4 cents per kilowatt. used
$3.50 worth of electricity in one
month to light one house. No
such rate is made anywhere in the
state. The rate at Brookfeld is
10 cents; at Chillicothe the rate is
the same; it is the same at Lathrop
where the current is obtained from
Plattsburg in this same way: it is
the same at Hannibal. To cost
81. 80 per month at 4 cent raie one
would have to burn II ordinary
Edison lamps 10 hours every day,
Here is the actual average
monthly cost in some of the

4
ton, out of the very best material.
In this estimate has been included
the running of the main wires to
every part of the city, so that every
person who desires to install the
light in their homes can do so, the
city to bring the wires to your
house, you merely to pay for the
wire inside and buy your lamps,
which will cost 25 cents each.
We understand that it is being
charged that if the bonds are voted
the main wires will be installed in
the central part of town only and
those outside Of that vicinity will
not be able to avail themselves of
the lights.
! We desire to say that the main
wires will be run and the entire
system installed under the direction
of a competent electrical engineer
and we pledge YOU that we will see
that the wiring is done so as to
reach the home of every citizen of
the town.
AS to the contract with the Eiec-
tric Light company of Brookfeld,
we desire to say that they are ready
and willing TO bind themselves by a
contract and give bond that they
will furnish first class service, by
day or by night, said contract to
run either one, five or ten years, as
we may desire. If the proposition
goes through, we pledge you that
in making this contract the inter-
ests of the city shall be fully pro-
tected. The electricity will be fur
nished to the city at five cents per
kilowatt and the city will sell it to
the consumers at sixteen cents per
kilowatt, the profit to the city to be
used in maintaining street lamps
placed so as to light all parts of
the city. We pledge You that there
will be no discrimination against
one part of the city in favor of an
other part. 1t will be to the inter-
est of the city for every citizen to
use the light, as the profit will be
correspondingly increased.
From careful investigation made
by us, we feel sure that in short
time the profit to the city will be
sufficient not only to thoroughly
light the. streets, but also have a
surplus over, which surplus, if any,
will be transferred to the sinking.
fund and applied in payment of the
annual interest.
We have made careful investiga-
ton and find that the system pro-
posed is giving splendid satisfaction
in other cities, and this proposition
has been submitted with full conf.
dance that if accnntad nv the VOTERS
you will be more than satisfied our
city has started on a decided for
ward movement, and become indeed

Some Evening Reveries.

uOI COuoCuC W No IuduC Adppy'
They find their greatest satisfaction
in incessant grumbling and re-
piuing against destiny. Of all the
bores that are inflicted upon our
social life, none is more disagree
able than the sour-tempered man;
he is not content with being
miserable himself, but insists on
making everybody else so, if he can.
1t is not best to let such one
have his own way. If he would
be content to confine his mutter-
ings to himself and to maintain
a strict seclusion, he might be
pardoned and pitied; but when he
thrusts his grievances upon society,
he then becomes, as Dogberry
eloquently observes, most in
tolerable and not to be endured. "
How many things we hope for,
expect, yet do not attain. All
paths are not smooth in this dear
old world of our. The are thorns
ON many sides and rocky as we'll
as slippery places for our feet.
Disappointment will come to the
best of us, but the brave heart will
take new courage after each failure
and press on to victory. God bless
the weary hearts, if they have
grown weary in we'll doing. Let
them take on fresh courage and
hope, for there is more of good
than evil in this old world of ours.
A righteous life will be rewarded
and a just cause can never die.
Soldiers may fall in battle, but
others there are to take their places.
The truth cannot be vanquished.
It may be crushed to earth, but it
will rise again a thousand-fold
stronger and illuminate the world.
Let us lend a loving, helping hand
TO the weary hearts.
The love of father may be as
deep and sincere as that OF a
mother, yet it is a calmer love and
perhaps more calculating and more
fully directed in the great periods
and ends of life; it cannot descend
to those minutiae of affection,
those watchful cares for the minor
comforts and qualifications of
existence which mother, from the
finer sensibilities of her nature,
can more readily appreciate.
The pages Of history abound
with the records of maternal love
in every cline and in every rank
of life; but it is lesson of never
ending presence, which the heart
can feel and acknowledge, and
needs not example to teach how to
venerate.
Can there be being so vile and
odious, so dead to natures i'm
pulse, who, in return for constant
care, such unvarying kindness, can.
willingly or heedlessly wound the
heart that cherished him, and for
sake the now lonely one who
nursed and sheltered him, who can
madly sever the sweet bonds Of
human union and bring down the
gray hairs of his parents with
sorrow to the grave; who can
leave them in their old age tQl
solitude and poverty, while he
wantons in the pride Of undeserved
prosperity? l
If there be, let him abjure the
human race and herd with the
beasts that perish, or let him feel
to distraction that worst of human
miseries.

ELECTRIC LIGHT INFORMATION
Mayor and City Council Want You to Know the
Facts About Bond and Lights

pirate the sum of five thousand
dollars to install electricity in the
city for lighting purposes, and be-
lieving, as we do, that this matter
is of the greatest Importance to the
future upbuilding and prosperity of
our city, we deem it only fair to the
voters who will be called upon to
decide the question by their ballots
to give them, as nearly as we can,
all the salient facts connected with
the proposed enterprise.
First, as to the bonds to be issued.
These bonds will he issued in de-
nominations of two, three or five
hundred dollars, and will bear five
per cent. interest, payable semi-an-
nually. The principal will be made
payable at the option of the city in
five years or the bonds may run 20
years. In other words, they will
be what are known as 5-2O bonds;
that is, they will be payable at the
option of the city at any time after
five years, but the holder of the
bonds cannot demand payment for
twenty years. This is plain and
imperative requirement OF the stat
ute of this state. The statute also
imperatively requires these bonds
to be SOLD AT NOT LESS THAN THEIR
PAR OR FACE VALUE. and also re-
ouires the funds derived from the
sale of the bonds to be used for the
construction of the lighting system
and equipping the same, and cannot
be used for any other purposes. 1t
any part of the said fund shall not
be needed in the construction and
eauipping of the lighting system,
the statute just as imperatively re-
quires such surplus to be placed in
the sinking fund and held for the
purpose of paying off the bonds
when they become due. Every re-
auirement of the statute will be
strictly followed.
If the bond issue is authorized
by the voters at the election, it is
the purpose aud intention of the
city council to sell these. bonds,
which will be q safe investment, to
our own citizens, 50 that they will
be held at home. ANY citizen of
the city of LacIede can subscribe
for one or more Of said bonds. AS
to the annual tax levy that will be
required to meet the annual interest
and provide for the payment of the
bonds, the statute requires an an
nual levy of tax sufficient to at
least pay the annual interest and
ene-twentieth part of the bonds.
The annual interest, at the begin
ming, will be $3.50, but this will
decrease after we begin paying off
the bonds. One twentieth of the
bonds will be $3.50, or total, with
intere st. of $500 yearly. The total
assessed valuation of the city at
this time is, in round numbers,
$220,OO0. A levy of 80 cents on
the 800 will produce the sum of
$500, sum sufficient to pay the
annual interest aud leave the sum
Of $40 to be placed in the sinking
fund to pay off the bonds. If any
one desires to know just what his
annual electric light tax will be,
just get your last years tax receipt
and multiply your total assessment
by 80 cents aud you will be sur
prised to find how small this tax
win be-merely nominal.
Now as to the manner in which
the plant is to be installed we wish
to say that we have had careful es-
Inmates made by competent persons
