W. A. Wood. PO L The Press Association, ‘The meeting of the Southwestern Towa Press association was announced to be held here yesterday, and quite an elabo- rate programme was arranged. It was expected that there would be forty or fifty members present. Arrangements were made by the citizens to have car- riages furnished the visitors for a drive about the city. The Fifth regiment band had planned on serenading them 1n the evenng, and other details were provided for. The number of visitors was, how- ever, small, there being hardly a half dozen. Among those present were J. Fred Myers, of the Denison Raview; A. L. Howard, of the Sidney Times-Union; C. K. Kennedy, of the Villisca Review; Ed Russell, of the Corning Free Press; A. H. Sniff, of the Harrison Count; News, and C. H. Snyder, of the Red Oal Express. These gentlemen were at the Pacific house, and held a meeting for the transaction of routine business and ad- journed. They were driven about the city and made to enjoy themselves so far a8 possible in the limited time, for the; left on the evening trains for home. It is hoped that the next time a meeting is arranged to take place here there wifi be a larger attendance.

A Cold Water Injuncti J. J. Shea is having trouble with the water works company. The company claimed that there was water rent due and Mr, Shea claimed that the amount due, if any, was due from the owner of the house, Mr. Wheeler, and not from him. He was willing to pay from the time that he agreed to take water but don’t believe in back pny which ought to be collected of anothor. While this dif- ference was still unadjusted the com- pany went to the place and shut off the water, Mr. Shea got a plumber to turn it on again. Then he went before Judge Aylesworth and got an injunction re- straining the water works company from interfering or from turning the water off from the house. The water works com- pany tiled & motion to have the injuno- tion dissolved. Before this matter was heard the water works company, as is claimed, went to the house, and despite the injunction took up the box, where the water is turned off and on, and took 1t ovt, thus ecutting off the supply. Then Mr. Shea caused a warrant to he issued for Harry Birkin- bine, the engineer of the company, and H. P. Warren, the bookkeeper, for them to nmmur and show cause why shey should not be fined for contempt of court. These two gentlemen appeared before Judge Aylesworth yesterday af- ternoon, and gave security for their ap- pearance on Friday morning, when the case will probably be heard, There may some interesting” decisions grow out of this case, and water consumers will watch the outcome. It is certainly re- fresh to note that the injunction cases, which have been heretofore against whisky, are uow involving cold water. It 18 getting to be a serious state of affairs when a thirsty soul cannot get either strong or mild drinks, whisky or water, without having the liquid filtered through an injunction. ———— No Light Matter, The action of the city council in pass- ing the gasordinance to a second reading has calied forth much indignation. The assurances have been privately and in- formally given that this obnoxious ordi- nance would not receive any further at- tention. It now seems that the ordinance 18 one notch nearer the top, and is in a much better condition for having sneaked through in some form. The gascompany 15 managed by shrewd men, who are naturally and to a certain extent justi- fiably looking after their own interests.” Any proposition to renew the charter should be looked upon with suspicion and handled with care, but when that proposition embodies the condition of this city Bnyln twice as much for gas as is paid by other cities, it should have been dropped into the basket. This city has for years been paying enormous prices for gas, and the company has had a monopoly. The price of gas has of late been nearly three times what other cities have been paying, and now it 1s claimed that 1t is a generous reduction to throw off encugh so that Council Blufis will onl{ have to pay about twice what other cities gny. he price of gas has been $4.00 a thousand for years, while in smaller cities a better tqnhly hag been iven for loss than $2.00. There has been ittle agitation on the question, becausc the citizens were so conlident that the ordinance for a renewal of the charter would not be given cven a second read- ing, 'This having been done it 18 time that the citizens should be d expross their minds freely. a cheap vrice is what is demanded, present company bas bad a chance for several years to meet this demand, and not having done so it seems that the city. council shonld be in no haste to renew the mnopo‘lr. There has been, and is now much faith in thé wisdom and cau- tion of the co , aud the people look to that body for proteotion. ' The action of the council in passing the ordinance to a second reading is; however, alarm- nuf‘ and a nr()mrl hiait should be made. 'he question of hghlinfi the streets 1s also an important one. ‘There are vari- ous devices on necount of the exhorbi- tant price of gas, about #3500 a wonth for getting what flickering lights as are atforded. ‘The ity has been paying the gas company & for each post. All one nceds to Jo.is to tigure for himself the average number of hours each night that a lamp post is lighted, the number of feet of gas each burner consumes per hours, and with the average of moonlight nights, it appears that the gus company has been getting over #4 a thousand for the gas burned in the street lamps. ng to economize by using oil lamps in certain districts, and has been forced into this by the high rates of gas, This has gone on 8o long that it-will not satisfy the public for the company tonow come in with a paltry re- duction, leaving the price as reduce,even, still so much higher than that paid by other cities, Itis time that the eity and the citizens insisted on cheaper rates, rates somewhere in proportion to those of other cit The company's charter has two y et to run, but thereisa strange ‘anxiety to get the churter re- newed now. I ibly before that two years is up there will be other improve- ments in fighuug a city, which will en- able the ity to get its light still cheaper. The electric light compiny is i uring on lighting the entire city, those who have the making of contracts and the granting of charters should in- vestigate carefully before deciding. There should be no tritling with such important matters, and no hangingof an igh vp as to en- 0 8 1ecessful top- wd and unexpected It costs the city now able it to be shoved reach by some shr move by those preth gl Installing a Pastor, "Bhe mstallation of Rev. Stephen Phelps, D.D., as pastor of the D yterian church, took place last evening. Tne thunder shower eume up at an unfor- tunate time, just as the bells were ring- ing for the service. On this necount the audicnce was not so la s it would otherwise have been. church was beautifully decorated with plunts, vincs ferns and flowers. A very elubor: d beautiful double star of cut flowers, the center of red, the border of white, stood by the pulpit. The preliminary services consisted of a busin mecting of the presbytery, at which the record was made complete, the transfer of Dr. Phelps from the Cedar Rapids presbytery being accepted, his AL ito e LB ol et read, and his accept: ance, After these preliminaries the services of nstallation followed. Rev. Mr. Cas sett, of Emerson, presided. Rev. Mr. Smith, of Clarinda, offered a very tender and appropriate prayer. Rev.Mr.McAfee, of Corning, read portions of scripture Miss Barbara Merkel sang a sweet solo Rev. W. McAfee red a clear and forcible sermon. His text was, “‘Jesus said unto them, ‘Follow Me and 1 will make you fishers of men.’” He spoke of the authority with which Christ spoke Then the call was a personal one. was a command not to lhve in accord ance with some code of moral ethies, but to follow a living The comman: was to follow a st-like hife. ‘“‘Hi that hath not the Son hath not life. An obedience to the command demande sacrifice. ‘The fistermen had to leave their nets. The gospel of love was the fruit of sacrifice, and demanded suc fice. No wood thing was to be obtainci. except hy sacrifice. The call for sacri fice was, however, to biing men_into : higher ministry. If the nets had to b left, it was that they might become fish ers of men, a nobler sphere of useful ness. Cicero said that men becamc most like gods when doing good to their fellows. it was, could not comparc with the mission of winning souls. T save a soul was greater than to conquel a world. Christ also provides for the fit ness of those called to this noble minis- try. ‘I will make you fishers of men. He would supply the deficiencies. 1t those who were trying to follow Chris were not soul winners, it was because of a lack of consecration. This call came to_everyone. Rev. E. E. Smith, of Clarinda, then d- livered the charge to the pastor. It w: excellent, and despite the solemmty ci the dauty, it was bright and not without » tinge of sprightliness. He urged th. new pastor to ‘“‘Preach the Word.' Christ was the beginning and the end of the word. Besides this trust, there was the trust of caring for the flock of whici he was the shepherd. Hig personal life must be an example, yet he need not be gloomy. Life was not all tragedy, nor was it a farce. He should realize the importance of this point in the field. He and his church should be in close rela- tionship with the church at large. Rev. Mr. Cassett delivered the charge to the congregation, He said he did not feel called upon to instruct them as to their duties, but to remind them of these, and stir them to greater action. He grouped their duties into three classos, support, ancuunfiumum, co-operation. The salary should be paid, and promptly. It was not a charity, but a legal and moral obligation. The people should give moral as well as financial support. There should be regularity in attending church. The people should not let the pastor do all the work because of his be- l':m a leader. They should work with im. ————— Bargain sale this week at Harkness Brothers, e Pacific house is the nearest hotel to the majority of real estate offices in the city; 2 per day. e Get your bathing suit goods at Hark- ness Brothers, e For female diseases and chronic dis- cases of all kinds, call on Dr. Rice, No. 11 Pearl street, Council Blufls, Iowa. pB LR For rupture or hernia, call and get Dr. Rice’s new invention. 1t makes a man of you in five minutes.
