To smoke u Pine.

"Either q tobacco or a coal fire should
burn the same way" said an old pipe
smoker the other day. ''By that ! mean
that 1t should burn in slightly cone
shaped mound, evenly on all sides and the
middle, until it is down to the ashes. That
is the reason that so many pipe-smokers
never get the good out OF their tobacco
and throw more than half OF it away.
"it is q usual superstition with pipe
smokers that pipe is not good and sweet
and even burning until ii has cooked or
'caked' about the sides. That is rank
fallscy. 1t Is q matter OF fact that some
smokers cake . pipe much sooner than
others, for some reason with which am
not acquainted, nor have ever heard any
plausible argument as to the exact reason.
But a man who wants q good smoke
should keep this cake away from the
inside OF his pipe always.
"The interior Of the bowl must be kept
smooth. Otherwise the tobacco will only
burn in the centre and will not be con-
sumed toward the rim. When it Ia
lighted the tabacco will shoulder down
through the centre and finally 20 out,
with only half the the charge actually
smoked. Poking down the unburned
tobacco on top OF the coal only makes the
smoke rank and causes the pipe to become
foul.
'.Any man who knows how to build q
good fire in his furnace and keep it in
good condition during cold snap should

SUIT NUMBER THREE
II. A. HICKS SEEKS TO RECOVER
ANOTHER $4,000 FROM THE ED
IToR OF THE OBSERVER.

The Observer is rapidly passing
from the list of country journals and
is taking rank with the foremost met
ropolitan papers of the country. This
week another suit was filed by Fl. A.
Hicks against w. j. Stull, editor of
the Observer, wherein the plaintiff
seeks to recover $4,000 damages
$4,000 actual and $4,000 punitive.)
The suit is based on the publication
OF an article appearing last week in
the Observer, wherein it was stated
that the writer heard it intimated
that the plaintiff had received 100000
for working for the passage of a
certain bill in the legislature, intro
duced at the regular session. The
article did not state that the defen-
dant was of the opinion that the
plaintiff had received this money.
Plaintiff alleges in his complaint,
Ito which defendant demurs, in this
paragraph as we'll as to allegations
plaint,) THAT by said statement the
defendant intended and meant the
readers of said paper to understand,
and said readers did understand, that
plaintiff was accused, while mem
Der of said Seventeenth General AS
sembly, of illegally and in violation
of his oath of office taking the sum
of Four Hundred Dollars from a
sugar company to favor and work for
some proposed legislation touching
the division of some county"
This suit is No. of the series
against the editor of the Observer,
which has been filed by H. A. Hicks.
In each suit the amount of $4,000 is
demanded by the plaintiff, making a
total of 10000.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS
MAYOR AND ALDERMEN WORK.
ING UNTIRINGLY FOR THE IN.
TEREsTs OF THE TOWN.

Tuesday evening an adjourned
meeting OF the city council was held,
at which a full quorum was present.
Various municipal matters were con-
sidered. Complaints were heard of
the nuisance being committed on Eu-
city by people running their sewage
into the streets. The matter was re-
ferred to the city attorney.
Water meters were ordered install.
ed in all the livery barns and other
places where horses and cows are
kept and the owners are unwilling to
pay the regular rate.
Another meeting was held last eve-
ming for the purpose of considering
the revision of the assessment roll.
The three dump wagons ordered by
the city last week have arrived and
are now in use on the streets. These
are Of the very latest design with a
bottom that drops. With these wag-
ons it is not necessary to shovel the
dirt out of the wagons, which Is a
great saving of time and labor. An
other saving to the city in the
purchase of these wagons comes In
the reduction of the price they have
had to pay teamsters. Before it cost
the city $500 a day when the team
sters had to furnish the wagons,
Now all that is furnished by the
teamsters is the team and driver.
This costs the city but $500 day.
The pipe ordered by the city to be
used instead of wooden fumes where
water is conducted across the streets
to the main flume, has arrived. This
pipe is two feet in diameter. 1t Is
made of heavy corrugated galvonized
iron and will withstand a weight. of
10000 pounds. 1t is guaranteed to
wear for so years. The pipe will be
put in where the small fumes are
now used from the Jenkins-McKay
building across Main street to the
Chinamen's; also between the Gabar-
di and Quiller residences on Law
renee street.

Henry Boellert, Herman Hartman
and Pete Loss have taken a lease on
the Benzai mine in Black Hawk. They
expect to steam up today and lift
the water. They have lease on the
ground from the surface down to the
240-foot level. 1t is their intention to
work both the 100 and 240-foot levels.
1t will be necessary for them to low
er the water 100 feet in order to
drain the 240 workings. The showing
in the Benzai is very good. 1t was
last worked by the company and sew
eral pockets of exceptionally high.
grade ore were taken out. When the
ore is stripped clean it runs very
heavy in gold and silver. 1t is of a
smelling variety and it is understood
that the principal reason the con-
pany did not get the returns from
their product which they should have
received was because they shipped
most of the ore to the mills. The
lessees who now have the mine are
all practical and experienced miners
and everything seems to be in their
favor for making some money.
