Extended the Time. "Owing to the change being made in the gas line from the old to the new field a]] the consumers may expect a light shortage O' gas for at least two weeks, which time it will take to make the change and to connect up the new wells tn the pine now being laid. As s >on as the new line is laid [and. the wells ; connected we expect to give better service, by far than that given during the past two years The company now has meters on hand' it is urgently requested that all persons who expect to use gas this winter will leave their order for a meter I at once so that the company may !be able to make orders in advance to the manufacturers for what meters we may need for other consumers. We are paying a bonus to the manufacturers in order to get all meters to supply our patrons at I once and it is very hard to get an I order, for the demand on the manufacturers is so great that their cap acity is almost exhausted. All the gas companies located in the gas j i belt have been driven to the meter system in order to supply their customers We being some 42 miles from the gas field are driven to' force the ga> such a long distance, requiring the best class of pumping machinery and from >OO to 1000 horse power 'team to drive the great air pressure to supply our customers with gas that it entails an enormous expense. J. S. Bowers. Owing to the scarcity of meters and the slowness of the manufactnrers to so] ply our orders we h ive ; extended the time for consumer' to j supply themselves with meters until November Ist. After that i date gas will be sold only to those people who have the meter'. This matter refers to consumers in Decatur. Monroe. Berne and all others along our line J. S. Bowers RAILROAD EXCURSIONS.

M WIS IT Office of Mayor of New York Holds Cut Allurements to Him. Lewis Mixer, Makes Formal Announcement of His Candidacy for Democratic Norn.ration. He Does Sc “With a Full Knowledge of the Uncertain! es of the Situation.” New York Sept. U -Lewis Nixon Sunday night announced that he is a candidate tor the Democratic nor.iaa lion for mayor. He made public a statement in which he said "1 am a candidate for the Democratic nomin* tion for mayor of the city of New York. This statement is made with a full knowledge of the uncertainties of the Democratic situation I desire - * ATA LEWIS NIXON. to male it clear that lam willing to stand with those Demo-rats, however small their number, who believe that the Democratic party erf this city should lead sad not follow in the forward march of municipal reform Speaking of the municipal campaign Mr Nixon says: "The battle will be won or lost on local issues that are old enough to have gained a permanent hold upon the public mind. These issues are police blackmail and that mercenary spirit which breeds dishonesty in the public service To them may be charged ail the party's recent loss of local presiige The Democracy has not been beaten on these issues by Republican votes alone, by any means It has teen beaten chiefly by Democrat! votes ' The Democratic party of the city has all the issues in its favor except these two. It is easily within its pow • r to throw off their dead weight when It makes up its mind to do so Its right to dominancy will be restored as soon as it doe*. There can be no doubt of the result of any campaign In which the party explicitly and with•ut equivocation commits itself to the reforms for which the city has four times voted in ten years Mr. Nixon would say nothing more about his. candidacy.
