ROMEO CAUGHT IN CHIMNEY
Curious Antics Of a Breton Lover
Arouse Excitement In Village
in Brittany.

Ihis story comes straight from Nor
'aix, a very modern place In Brittany.
Dur Romeo, like Chaucer's hero, was
caught in the chimney. He was go
ing to his sweetheart, instead Of run.
a.ng away from her. The pretty
Juliette was a distance Of some seven
miles from his home. The enamored
Romeo tramped 1t on foot all that
distance. AT night he reached tho
house. and called, but got no answer.
AS the door was shut he decided to
try the roof. On the roof he found
he chimney, and 1t seemed to him
that was quite wide enough to let him
down. He descended for some dis
lance, but then, as ae came near the
fireplace. the chimney narrowed. He
slipped and got in a narrow neck.
Here he was caught, unable to move
up or down. Before long he felt a
suffocating sensation, If the thing
lasted much longer 1t would be the
end of him. He could stand it no
more. After grooming he yelled, and
he beloved so well that not only was
LIS S"SSIhCaiL OiSSuAUCu III Isl hluuI-

cited.
The nearest chimney.sweep was
called, but he could not help him out.
The gendarmes woke up the y
and he, with all the notables of the
place, went to look. They consulted
among them, and the only way to
liberate the captive lover was to pull
down part of the chimney. This was
done by some masons, and he was
presently released, but before being
allowed his freedom a police report
was drawn up, with a view to inflict-
ing a series of fines for breaking into
a private Enclosure, damaging other
peoples property, waking up the au-
thorities unnecessarily, and causing a
public scandal. Poor Romeo was very
sad when it was all over.-Paris Cor

The outcome of the election was no
doubt due to the fact that it was gen.
really regarded that debate on the
proposition was closed a month or
more ago. after the council committee
had made their report and Engineer
Thorkelson had submitted his report.
At that time. the majority of those
who were first interested in the plant
appeared to concede that it would be
unwise for this city to put in NUM-
cipal plant at this time.
But on Sunday. the advocates of
municipal plant issued a pamphlet
which those who have been studying
the question carefully had no oppor-
tunity to answer.
The results of the election are most
difficult to forecast. Mr.. Stewart.
the owner of the present plant, has
no course open for him except to
do everything possible to protect his
property. for if forced to remove his
poles and wires from the streets and
dismantle his plant, he would have to
sustain loss variously estimated
from $4,000 to $4,000. About
every lawyer will disagree with every
other as to just what Mr.. Stewart S
rights are or are not, all of which
shows to the layman that the law on
the subject of franchises is in very
hazy condition in this state, and there
will be plenty of opportunity for a
long drawn out legal contest.

New Schedule of Rates.

On and after May 1st, LIZ we
establish the following schedule of
rates for light and power purposes:
l5 cents per kilowatt per month
This rate will be for short term con-
tracts, and for current furnished in
any quantity without contract.
For contract lighting services for
term of not less than one year we
offer the following graded schedule of
rates:
For the first SO kilowatts consumed
per month, IL cents per K. w. For
the second so kilowatts consumed per
month 8 cents per K. W. All over
100 kilowatts consumed per month,
6 cents per K. w.
Our minimum charge shall be ST. 90
per month for any lighting services
rendered.
For small motors under 2 horse
power same as lighting rates.
For motors 2 horse power or over
our minimum charge shall be SO cents
per rated horse power per month. All
current consumed amounting to more
than SO cents per month per horse
power the rate shall be 6 cents per
kilowatt.
All bills unpaid on the 10th of the
succeeding month shall incur penalty
of 10 per cent of the amount of the
bill, which penalty shall be paid with
the bill.
Meter rentals shall be 25 cents per
month where the meters are owned
by the company. Any person or per-
sons owning their own meters must
allow the company the privilege of
examining and testing the meters at
least once in three months, and of
tener should the company or it's repre-
sentive have reason to believe that
the meter was not in perfect working
order.
AS we will undoubtedly have a
competing plant in the city in the
near future, we are desirous of re-
tanning all the old customers and add
to our list of consumers all we possi-
bly, can. We think these rates will
compare favorably with anything that
is Offered by any town in the state
that is situated similar to Morris, by
reason of the amount of current fur
nished by the electric company fur
nishing same and considering the
volume of business, both night and
day, which is furnished to any of the
cities or towns which we can make
any comparison with.
We shall be prepared to make these
contracts on Monday, May 9th.

Remember this! There are not strings
tied to any of our prizes, the two
