MATCH FACTORY PEOPLE STILL ARGUING WATER.

Made Anoher Yaln Attempt to Adjust Question With Council—Possibly Another Bluff. W. W, Sterling, of Elkhart, and Hugo Kohn, Attorney O’Shaughnessey and H. Starer, of Chicago, arrived in the city Monday to have another talk with the city council about the water main and match factory matter. The differences between the councilmen and the promoters were not harmonized and another meeting was held this Tuesday morning and again the matter -was not adjusted. Mayor Meyers, who had been out of the city, arrived home this morning and was appealed to by Attorney O’Shaughnessey and promised to try to get the council together again this afternoon. He found, however, that Dean and Catt were out of town and that the other members were unwilling to make any further concessions and the proposed meeting was not held. The match factory people seem to be quibbling about the cost of the water. Their objection seems trivial and the councilmen are not disposed to make further concessions. It is not known when the promotors will put in another appearance. Lee Carson came down from Chicago today for a three weeks’ vacation. For the past fourteen months he has been travelling out of Enid, Okla., for the John V. Farwell Co., of Chicago. Attorney Jasper Guy, of Remington, was in Rensselaer yesterday. He said that the cofh and oats between here and there were down badly as the result of the Sunday evening wind and rain storm. C. J. Dean, with his party, John Moosemfller and sons, Louie and Watt, left on the early morning train today for a prospecting trip through northern Michigan. Their headquarters will probably be Welliston.
