CHRISTEN NOT AN EMBLEM OF BAD BUSINESS MANAGEMENT So says the mouthpiece of their administration. —P. L. Isn’t that an awful thing to call a fellow. You’re another. They overlook the fact that its construction was 'at »the com- ’< mand of the taxpayers of the city expressed through the ballot box.—P. L. We would like to know P. L. if it was written on the ballot that the plant should be built without supplying "the taxpayers who commanded them’’ with some statement showing its cost. Were they not considered dangerous and the steam pressure on them limited by lawful authority. If they were good why ! should this have been done.— P. L. Now, why, P. L. If the business had not grown to exceed the capa-

l city of the boilers, new ones would _ not have been needed. It Is very t simple. Try to reason ft. Hollers 'are like anything else, they can do their share and no more. When the load exceeds the capacity of the 8 boilers it means either larger boilers, oor a curtailment of the business. B 9 Isn't that plain. You are awfully b dull, P. L. J That there were no funds avall--7 able for the purpose makes no .’ difference. The people knew this when they voted for the v plant and were aware of the fact that it rnaent a debt—P. L. Oh, P. L. go shake yourself. That is no excuse for the building of the waterworks plant without giving an accurate account of the cost. People do not spend thousands of dollars, or any other sum. without keeping an account of it. You would not do it yourself P. L„ so dig up an j excuse that looks better any way. Gross earnings form no basis upon which to estimate value.— P. L. Gross earnings are a mighty handy ’thing to have on hand, and we will bet that P. L. has seen the time in the newspaper business when he could have used the gross earning feature to a good advantage. Wherein he finds a similarity between the municipal plant and this private corporation is hard to see —P. L. The similarity, as you term it.was made plain at the time the illastrajtion was offered. |The telephone company discarded a dozen switch boards before they had one large ' enough for their enormous business. The city has had to enlarge their municipal plant in the same way. It is not an emblem of bad business management to have more business than can be cared for. Failures seldom come from such a cause, and we will bet that P. L. never heard of even one. WANTED—GirI to do general house--31 work, two in family. Apply this ' office. 242-3 t

Sherman Powell After a lingering illness lasting for many months, Mgs. Joseph Harris died at half past ten o'clock Sunday night, death being caused by consumption. She was an estimable woman with a host of friends who are now sorrow stricken, although it has been been known for a long time that she could not live. During the long illness she bore her sufferings with great fortitude, in fact she welcomed the relief that could only come in death. She with her husband. son and daughter have lived in this city for the past twelve years, and during that time they have made for themselves a place in the affections of our people, and especially is this true with the one now claimed by death. Lydia Destma Remp was born in Willshire, Ohio, February 24, 1864, and she was united in marriage to Joseph Harris then also a resident of Willshire. To this union was born two children, Lillian agel twenty-one, and John aged twenty, and they with the husband now sincerely mourn the death of their devoted wife and mother. The funeral services will be held Wednesday morning from the home (on west Monroe street, Rev. Sherman Powell having charge of the services. Interment will be made in the Decatur cemetery. o FRIGHTFUL FATE AVERTED "I w-ould have been a cripple for life, from a terrible cut on my knee cap,” writes Frank Disberry, Kelliher, Minn., "without Bucklen's Arni'a Salve, which soon cured me ’’ Infallible for wounds, cuts and bruises, it soon cures Burns.
