 beating into the storm his magical calls for help; let us suppose the novelist able to describe the war of the clements against the boy-the frightened passengers huddled around him and asking. hour after hour, as he monotonously pounded his key Do you get any answer?" Let us think of Verne describing the turn of the battle against the boy-de

TIME FOR COLORED GENTLEMAN TO TAKE
 TO TALL UNCUT

Bedding. Cal Sept 2.-Today's search by the sherifrs posses for the five robbers who last night held up a Southern Pacific train near Lamoine has had no results except the arrest of a peaceable colored man at this place. chiefly because he is colored and reports said a colored man was one of the robbers. Because of this report 1t Is not safe for colored men to be cue any place in Shasto county. It is now known the robbers secured $2,99O. It is supposed they mistook the train for one supposed to carry large gold shipment.

The Council and the Light Question.
 The present mayor and two mem bers of the city council of Phoenix were elected last spring on a plat form which dealt as follows with the light question::
 l. Recognizing the desirability of buying electric power directly from the government-thereby avoiding a ..middleman's profit'-by the city for the purpose of lighting the streets.
 9. Recognizing, however, the i'm possibility of installing a municipal plant at present, but pledging the city administration to the installation of a municipal plant for street lighting at the earliest possible moment.
 8. Hedging the administration to a renewal of the existing contract with the local light company for a brief period only-until such time as the city may install the said munich pal plant.
 i. Hedging the administration to protect the public interest to the full lest extent possible by making a new contract at a materially lower rate for street lights.
 Negotiations are under way be- tween the local light company and the city council with respect to d new contract.
 The council has wisely decided to abandon. in the business district. the antiquated swinging arc light, and substitute therefor the modern sys- tenn of lamp posts along the side walks.
 The contract for the installation of these lamp posts provides, naturally, for a connection with the system of the local light company.
 These are the developments to date.
 The city council is being assailed in portion of the afternoon press, and all sorts of unfair charges as to a betrayal of the public interest and a betrayal of the platform pledges We have mentioned are being published.
 The Republican has seen no evi- dence whatever that there is any inclination or wish on the part of the city administration to depart in any particular from the course of action laid down in the platform of last spring.
 It will be some time-but not long before the city can legally under take the construction of a municipal plant
 Meanwhile. it should be obvious to every person of ordinary intelligence that the city must continue to deal with the only purveyor of light the local light company.
 Ii would be idiotic in the extreme, in putting in the new system Of street lamps, not to provide for connection with the only source of light available at present-the wires of the local light company.
 There will be time in abundance for criticism of the city administra- ton after it has shown a disposition to depart from the principles set forth in the platform mentioned.
 To indulge in the criticisms now being hurled at the council IS merely ito manifest spirit of unfairness which no fairminded citizen will ap- prove.

HOLMES IN A DENIAL.
Declares He Would Know il
Deal Was Impending.
Syndicate Holdings Indicate
Plans Have Been Made.

Kansas City, Jan "A special DIS
patch from New York says representa-
tfves of the Mckinley syndicate, head
ed by Congressman William Mckinney
of Illinois, are to be in Kansas CITY TINS
week to close deal for the purchase OF
the Leavenworth trolley line. Conway
F. Holmes, president of the line, DIS
claimed any knowledge of negotiations
along that project.
''I know that the Mckinley crowd
have bought the st. Joseph and Atch-
iSon local street car systems ana we
sold them our Topeka system early N
the year. 1 had heard they were after
other properties in the west, but there
IS nothing, so far as know, in this re-
port that they are after the Leaven-
worth line. of which company l am
president and manager. 1 would know
if such negotiations had been going
on"
Owns Chicago to ST. Louis Line.
The Mckinley syndicate is a COM
pany of vast operations. 1t owns a
through line running between Chicago
and St Louis, and Mr.. Mckinley is
president of six important electric light
and power companies. 1t is not sup
posed by local authorities that his syn
dictate would buy up such minor plants
as that in st. Joseph, the one in Atch-
ison, only 20 miles long, and the out
little larger line in Topeka, without
having an Interior purpose.
The information from New York is to
the effect that the Mckinley crowd
have bought up the terminals mem
toned for the purpose of coupling them
up with Kansas City, making them in
terurbans. A connecting line is to be
built between st. Joseph and Leaven-
worth, so that, with the LeavenWorth
trolley line already built, the upriver
towns will all be connected with KAN
sas City.
Line Paying Big Profits.
The Leavenworth line is paying big
profits lately. Its dividends are small
for the reason that the present man
agement has been putting undivided
profits into the plant. When the
IIolmeses took the line over eight years
ago it was financial wreck, running
in a haphazard way and losing money
every day.
Improved times and up to date man.
agement built up travel so that two
years ago the company was strong
enough to spend $4,000 a minute"
meaning that in order to shorten up its
running time nine minutes it was able
to set aside 100000 for construction
work.
