Several ttiotinntnl dollar tlons of the writer hnve just a little of have been expended by the citizens in this apparent appeal to the discontent tl. iiiif.thimn of motors, stoves, Hut od.

These plutitcs pics-ont twolve distinct subjects, each of which is woitliy of general dlseusslon nnd thoughtful consideration. Six of them udiite to the lliiaticlal, nnd six to the moral, condition of the city. The writer advocates! 1st. A discontinuance of night wateli at tin M'oiisu th" city. Would It tie sale to let It known that during the four bonis of darkness between the '-i o'clock and i o'elock passenger trains, the city was tin policed, e-pcclnlly 'when the writer also advocates that the olectile lights 1)0 extinguished during this period? vcnlencos to the enterprising, pro Tho city Is under some olillfftittftii t' progressive people of the coin Uxes Irons, funs, vaccuui cleaners nnd other' that our highest civic welfare will be oleetrleappHiutus, on the faith of this SilUlned, but by getting ilollar's daylight current.

It Is possible that, there shiiuid be a uinuthl. chiiige to the coiisiiniei.s, in addition to the meter rates fori icry eleetrle appliance In use.

tho remainder might basis of individual subscription. us well sojourn in a penitentiary or 2ml, Discontinuance of street yard, sprinkling at the expensoof the public. I f)t1( Discontinuance of tho water The same general answer may be given tiu Siutth wells. Does the oily to this suggestion. All tho people in, 0 this water at pieseutr If so, tlie city are anno ed by the dust that otherwise shall It lie tiecutuulates in the centres of tralllc.

1 1, is easy to olect men It is not the fault of tho inuiuliuiits 14 platform, hut how mo that the business ceil tics noed tin sprinkler. It should bo the pride of the city that there Is traftlu enough centred about a fow blocks to keep down the grass and generate dust. Every man, woman and child in the city is bonelltted by the suppression of tho dust on Webster Streotand Fourth Avenue, and tho whole city should provide for the cleanliness of those streets, precisely as all Jthe occupants of an apartment house should help pay the jaultor who cleans out the ashes from the furnace room. 3rd. Discontinuance of light service after 11 o'elock.

This would practical ly end the use of electric lights. While there is not much current used after 11 o'clock at night, there is not a consumer, who has not taken into con sideration the facility to use it, should it be required, at any hour of the night. If he is to keep lamps, oil and mutches In readiness for till emergencies after II o'clock, he would just hs soon tic without tho electric lights entirely, and depend wholly up on tne out metuods ol iiiumiiition we to got the needed water, If we abstain fiom the use of the Smith wells'. Oth. Hc-adjustmout of Hie Water and Light Kates to give the poorer people more for their money and encourage consumption.

This has a specious ring Hut what re-adjustment is proposed Would the writer reduce the minimum of one Can a book account be opened with a customer, and collections be made with profit with charges less than a dollar per term? Would ho fix the rates higher than they now are for those who consume more? Can he guarantee that tlio.se higher rates would bo paid? It might be easy to throw the whole system Into confusion. Tho present administration tried raising the rates oil the milling company with tho result that tho milling company install cd a gasoline engine, and the city lost its most important daylight customer. i The city has the problem of getting some service for its investment, and that problem can not be solved by ap- budUpo cd of in a single puiagiaph. r.xpi'iienee has ilenmiislrited that the police ol cities, win ther they be ol the cio of Ked loud, Chic.mo, or Voi can not. or will no', enforce th' laws K-lalivi' to liquor, niuiisemeni.s, social vice, sit.sriictorlly to the lidos 'of moral i ighteousiiess that teach their height In the pulpit, at ion dates.

If tho vicious elements of the city so conduct themselves that It. is necessary to employ detect Ives to ferret out. their vices, the miijoilty of us can bear with their violations of the law.

Resid ing first at Blue Hill and for the past 12 years at Red Cloud. Mrs. Margaret Pope was a splendid example of a true mother. She was kind, loving and self-sacrificing in the borne and al ways thought of others before herself. She was a thorough Christian, and a regular attendant at church.

She brought up her boys to attend church end Sunday school and to respect religion. Beside the four sons there are 23 grand-children living and 15 greatgrandchildren, all of the latter being boys with the exception of the last two The heart-felt sympathy of the entire community goes out toward those who mourn the loss of a loving mother and a faithful wife. She was nearly 88 years old and her husband who survives her is 80. Our sympathy goes out particularly to liliu who in bis old ago is bereft of that companion who has been bis constant joy during 04 years of happy wedded life.
