The council of IMS firm the parties who hare bon exhibtttac the electric light at ex. elusive privilege of maintaining electric light in that city for ten years. A home company is to take hoW of the matter and establish a plant at once.

The different companies who are selling the electric will in all cases get the very best from the different city governments that they possibly can. At the same time we doubt the right--the moral right at least-of city councils togive any company the exclusive right to occupy its streets for this purpose. Why should men who associate themselves together for the purpose of lighting a city be entitled to a monopoly, any more than people engaged in any other line of business If a man starts a store, opens a hotel, builds a saw mill, erects a machine shop, or engages in any other business he must take his chances with all others who may choose to come and compete with him. Why should not those who invest their money in gas and electric light plants do the same? Q. P.

He was a carpenter by trade, and until some time last fall was in the employ of the railroad company. At that tune a tumor developed itself on his side, and he was obliged to quit work. Some tune hi November the tumor was removed, and for a time the patient seemed greatly improved.

The initial meeting held at the parlors of the Business Men's Rooms on Wednesday afternoon of this week, was not as largely attended as was ixpected or desired, owing to the inclemency of the weather, and the fact that a social gathering at the same hour was attended by many who would otherwise have been present. The objects of the association, and the plans for carrying them into successful operation were discussed by those present at some length. A committee consisting of Mrs. M. Wadleigh, Mrs.

F. G. Kirwan, Mrs. A. E.

Morse, Mrs. H. P. Maxfield and Mrs. 0.

Parmeter was appointed to solicit the attendance of every one interested in the work at the next meeting, which will be held next Wednesday at 4 P. at the Business Men's Rooms. The committee all being present, gave personal assurance of being able to secure a large attendance, and it is expected that an organization will be perfected at that time. The ultimate success of the effort was further assured by the reading of reports from other cities that have but recently taken hold of it, and in every case the result reported was very flattering.

The Masonic fraternity of this city have for some timecontemplated visiting their brethren at Grand Rapids, and receiving a courteous invitation from the Grand Rapids Lodge to come down Wednesday evening and do the work, nearly fifty members of Evergreen Lodge assembled at the Green Bay depot at 6 o'clock that evening, where a special train was in waiting, and when conductor Louis Hoeffel shouted "allaboard!" his command was at once obeyed, and sngineer John Long pulled the lever, W. W. Mitchell--who occupied a seat in the cab--i-ang the bell, and ihe jolly crowd were on their way. A JOTJBNAL reporter caused the roll of the several crafts to be called when toe following brethren were found to be present': D. L.

There were also aboard the train W. W. Flemming, J. B. Gill, T.

S. Norton and H. A. Lathfop of Marshfield, and D. V.

Bean. S. B. Carpenter and Dr. Gregory of Plover.

Arriving at Grand Rapids, the visitors were met at the depot by Messrs. Robert Farrish, V. Talmadge, Lem. Kromer, Chas. Slocum and others of the fraternity, and driven to the Witter House, and from there piloted to the hall.

Although there were upwards of one hundred present, which included quite a large delegation from Pittsville Lodge and the home members, there were seats for all. The work was done by the regular officers ol Evergreen Lodge--A. F. Redfield, W. E.

M. Copps, S. J. Dille, J. C.

E. Winslow, S. B. B. Park, J.

and D. J. Ellenwood, Tyler, and considering our boys had only been in office fora short time, we think they are deserving of considerable credit. After the exercises at the hall, brother Slocum announced that supper was in waiting at the Witter House. Some forty fell into line and marched to the hotel, while the balance remain ed in the hall and had a good socia time, until the return of the first del egation from supper, when another set went down.

The tables were filled three times--the seating ca pacity of the dining hall not being sufficient to accommodate such an immense crowd at one time, but al were served, and with a most tempting supper, gotten up in elegan' style, the many good things being thoroughly tested by the hungry workmen from the temple. We were much pleased to find our Gram Rapids brethren so comfortably sit uated--with a large lodge room conveniently located in a brick build ing, and not only comfortably, bu' elegantly furnished. It is due the Grand Rapids people in general, am our Masonic friends Messrs. Farrish Talmadge, Slocum, Kromer, Her slip, Jackson, Witter, Jones, Tibbits Fountain, Quinn. Worthington, Jer rard and numerous others whose names we have forgotten in particu lar, to say that it has seldom fallen to our lot to be received more cor dially, or entertained in a more "royal" manner.
