Mr. Editor: Owing to the many uncalled for charges made by some citizens of Logaosport either through Ignorance or motives of some otner nature against the electric light plant and Its promoters, causes me to come forward with this statement of facts in order that the people of Logansport, and particularly the few who seemed to be cbe loudest In con-j 'demning this plant will see the ab surdity of their actions and recal their charges, which was made them without the least knowledge the genuine truths concerning the construction of this splendid plant It is partly for their interest) make this statement public, and hope they will be charitable enough to believe every word of It, for make It in a spirit of candor am hope that all who read it will coin clfle with me that the Investment ii one of the most sagacious and best financiered plans that was ever made for the benefit of Logansport and her citizens, and you can Imagine how harrowing it Is to me, knowing as I do, the great benefits that are forthcoming from the earnings of this plant, which In fact at this early day hat been fully shown to the satisfaction of all who want to be lleve. Therefore I say that It is un just for people to cast uncharitable insinuations on the plant or promoters when they are not in possession of the facts to justify such charges, but like a great many other things that are being continually repeated, the people become confident that they are facts, and believe them.

Such must be the case with some of the members of the common council at their last meeting, judging from their remarks, and particularly so with Mr. Boyer when he openly declared that he was not to blame for the purchase of the machinery of the electric light plant, that it was a committee of Demo crats which had a Democratic majority who was to blame for all such baa Investments. Granting Mr. Boyer that he wan not with the majority at the time when the original purchase was made and that it was a DR. F.

604 Miami street, some mischievous person took his bicycle rom the front yard where he had eft it and placed It in a yard a few squares west. Brown reported the matter to the police and the wheel wu brought in two hours later by Patrolman Nadlng. Democratic chairman who formulated the plans to buy for the city without any money the magnificent plant which she owns today, which can be sold ror $250,000 to syndicates and at that price bring 10 per cent net on the investment. We have today 159 arc lights on our streets and In the neighborhood of 30 merchant arc lights, making in round numbers 189, which are worth per year ISO each $15,120. We have demands for 10.000 Incandescent lamps, which, at a low estimate, calculating for each lamp 82.25 per year, 122,500, making a total of 137,620.

The total running expenses for everything per year, liberal estimate, interest on 1250,000 at 6 per cent, balance to apply on each year shows that the Investment would be a good one at 1250,000. Thus you see how profitable this Investment can be made with the proper intelligent economical management, so that its income will be $20,000 to $25,000 a year net, water' workfi net earnings 816,000 to $IS, 000, liquor license 113,500, making responsible for any bsd Judgment used in tbe purchase of the plant, knows that he was with me as the principal advocate In the purchase of this plant, and I am proud of ray knowledge in engineering the whole matter. I had more experience in that line than any of the other members, having had tbe manage- of tbe old plant for about three years, so I wish my friends and Democrats at large will not charge the mistake if any In their own opinion for the purchase of all the machinery that it took to complete the plant originally, for it was I that dictated the original purchase, and I with pleasure accept all the responsibility of any bad judgment used in that purchase. This purchase was made a short time before I left the council. Any changes made for Increased ma chlnery made after that time I am not responsible for.

I will now explain and defend the original purchase to your satisfaction. As stated before, we had no money to purchase, aod constructed a plant that cost originally except about 19,000 acquired from a levy of 15 per cent the year before contract ing, I had formulated the plan of payments same as we were paying the old company for lights, which was nearly 11,000 per month. I submitted these plans to all the electrical manufacturing companies and had their prices sent in, which were afterwards all withdrawn on account of our condition finaacially, which forbid us from going in debt, as we were then in debt more than tbe law allowed, hence In every Instance our proposition to purchase on the installment plan was rejected and the newly designed plant was about to be abandoned, and my time In the council would expire in four weeks, when I took a trip to Ohlcagro to see the Standard Electric company and see If I could Induce them to accept the contract on the installment plan. I succeeded In getting them to accept the proposition, iind hence the contract was made the machinery, lines, poles and everything complete put up, ready to run, for $35,000. Ten thousand dollars was paid when the machinery was running and the balance was paya.ble in twenty-five months, at the rate of $1,000 per to be made about the same as we were paying the old company per month, hence a saving of which would have been paid to the company, and better lighted an income from these 150,000 to should be $55,000 a enough to resources year, which pay all the general fund expenses of running the city, whereby our town would be come popular for capitalists to invesi their money, and general prosperity woulcl prevail all over the clcy.

So much said for the electric light plant and Us Income, I will now proceed to explain why the connnittes originally did not purchase larger incan descent machinery. You are all aware that the cllty is today largely In debt, and had been when the electric light plant was contracted for, much over the 2 per cent valuation law, which debarred the council from going any more in debt. TOD are also aware that the city was paying an electric light plant which was charging $100 per year for each lamp on oar streets, wh'ch amounted yearly to about This had been the case with the city, and the old electric light plant since 1S32, I think, and continued up to 1893. making a period of eleven years. Think of the enormous sum of money paid out to these Dtople at such 'enormous prices.

The members of the council always felt anxious to change this condition, but was always confronted with the bad condition of the treasury and therefore could not change from purchasing the old lights at per year for about two-thirds of the lights we have now. At last we got a council that Democratic in in transacting the business interests of the city thew was no political interests adhered to, and while Mr. Boyer remarked tiiat the Democrats was we have sixty-five more lights on the streets than we had before. So much for small machinery, and this same machinery is running the 157 street lamps and about thirty merchant arc lamps with the same dentical and water wheels that were originally purcbasec 'or that use. When the origica committee purchased the plant the did not make much ado about the in candescent part of It.

We had money and we did not want to go In largely in the iccandescen tghting business for the reason tha 1 would take a great deal of mone; iO extend a wire line al iver the city. We also had the old ilectrlc light plant to contend with we therefore contented ourselvei with the purchase of two 1,200 light ynamos, which would produce 2,400 Ights for merchant lighting where he consumers were largis and close ogether. Reasoning with this reposition that as we had no money we would wait until the plant would make money before we would go farther in debt, when we would extend the incandescent line as consumers became more concentrated, whereby we would not go so far for a few lights, at a great expense. These two incandescent dynamos, with a capacity of 2,400 lamps, were replaced a few monttxs after they were started with two larger dynamos of 3,600 lights, thus getting an increase of 1,200 lights for an additional cost of 1500, which was only about one- third the price of the additional 1,200 lights, which was an exceptionally good bargain for the city. These two 1,800 light dynamos are doing J.

Poor aid Weak Catarrh and Bronchial Trouble Had no Better In Every Way-A Delicate Child. "Some time since I 'took a sudden cold and conld not get rid of it. Being subject to catarrh and bronchial trouble I coughed terribly. I loft my appetite and grew poor and weak and I did not feel like work. I began taking Hood's Sarsapa- rilia.

In a short time the cough disappeared, I slept well, had a good appetite and I was better in every way. Last spring I was not feeling well, I had no appetite and no strength. I resorted to Hood's Sarsaparilla and soon felt more like work. My little nephew was a delicate child and had a humor which tron- bled so he could not rest at night. He has taken a few bottles of Hood's Sai- gaparilla and now he has a good appetite arid is able to uleep." MEM ABBIE J.

Logansport play goers still have heir choice of two extremes this week, and in arranging the bill Manager Dolan has displayed ercel- ent judgment. Tonight that splendid young tragedian, Robert Downing, supported a select company, will present 'The Gladiator." It Is In connection with this famous play that Mr. Downing's great- st successes have been achieved, and his superb rendition of the leading ole has given it a place among the lassies the stage. Since his first reduction of the p'ay which brought him fame and artistic success he has essayed nearly all the more prominent roies of the legitimate drama, and with pronounced success, but he still retains his fondness for his first triumph and declares that it will always have a prominent place in his repertoire The thoughtful observer of our stage sees In Robert Downing an adequate representation of the persons and the ideas that, are embodied in these heroes of je drama, and finds exceptional satt in the sense of magnificent which he conveys in his interpretation of the role. TIM MURPI.Y.

There is nothing or inspiring in that nime. But what is there in a name? Tim Murphy is already a popular favorite in Logansport. He is an artist whose versatility is an unknown quantity and in his present dpuble bill he presents at each performance he assumes many widely different chtracters, from tragedy to comedy, a performance simply marvelous and ascritl- Ized by a prominent critic stamps Mr. Murphy the nineteenth century David Garrlct. He and his merry assistants, including dainty and vivacious Dorothy Sherwood, will hold the boards at Dolan's Friday night.
