At the meeting-of the Republican
Central committee of Codington county
held in thissity Monday afternoon, sev
.eral interesting things, happened and
some poUtical fireworks were let off.
One of the most surprising things was
the apparent unwillingness of the com
mittee to endorse Gov. Crawford's can
didacy for the U. S. senate, tho the
committee is dominated by the insurg
ent party. A motion was made by
ate Burt of South 'Shore favoring
rawford's candidacy and seconded, and
^j^then the meeting begau^to express itself
Jpig distinctly against the motion, because it
*4%g| was felt that if such a motion was
passed it would interfere with the local
candidacy'of Glass ftir congress. After
some*discussion the motion^was wijth
drawn for the reason stated.

The Cyfamittee's Report
Eeportivg on the results of the three
days conference of last week, Alderman
C.H. Lester read the following:
Your committee to whom was referred,
as conferees with the waterworks com
pany, the matter of attempting the ad*
justsnent of a new franchise, beg leave to
report as follows: g.::
That since the last council meeting
and especially during the past week,
they have been in almost- constant con
ference with the reprerentuives of The
waterworks company and wish to" report
as follows:
That, taking the franchise &s pre
sented by the waterworks company as a
basis, they have agreed on m^ny: of the
minor propositions in that franchise and
that so far as these agreements go they
have been in line with the report of this
committee ae made at a fortnef date.
This Committee, owing to the volume of
a report covering all of their laboj^and a
recital of all the reasons, arguments, pro
and con, are substantially estopped
from giving to this council at this" time
the argument that has been presented
in regard to this matter Briefly, thrn
committee wishes to report that the
water company has conceded, and
agreed tp a number of the minor prop
ositions that this committee has asked
for. There are several propositions,
however, of considerable importance, in
fact the matters of prime importance in
the judgment of this committee, to
which they have not agreed.
-First: They are still holding out for
a 20-year franchise the committee offers
them a 10-year franchise.
Second: The committee, insist by
reason of receiving a new franchise, they
shall remove, at their expense, mains,
etc., on vacated streets and in 'addition
thereto shall install the mains already
ordered by the city council, which at
this date they have not Htailt, and that
the hydrant rental shall be fixed by this
committee for o!3 mains and that this
shall be absolutely precedent before this
franchise shall go into effect and be
me operative. That in regard to tbe
extension of new amiss we should prac
tically go oack to the terms of the orig
inal franchise and should not require
the property owners to pay such an
amount, or any part of such an amount
as will in five years pay the first cost' of
the construction of such mains. In re
gard to hydrant rental, the committee
wishes to state that in itB judgment
.when it offers a rental of $25 per annum
!for all hydrants now located in the city
that it considers that, as a committtee,
it has offered all that this service is
worth, In this respect the committee
have tried to be fair, that: is has con
ceded the general principle that the city
should pay for all the water that it uses:
that tbe committee have conceded to
the, waterworks company, as a commit
tee'Oniy-,12 ceflte Her thousand gallons
watering -puDlic parks and school
grounds, and for the consumption of the
Bchools themselves.
Third: We also agree as to the length
of/time in which they, tho water com
pany, shall be prepared to give an ex
treme test of their plant for firo protec
tion purposes in case of a bad fire. In
the judgment of your committee, they
Should be prepared at any and all .times
during the course of any twelve months,
to give this test upon, thirty minutes
notice. In this matter your committee
and the Water company disagree, they
having previously asked, three days'
time': but now having modified it to one
day's timo.
Fourth: A further matter of dis
agreement is in the price of water to be
charged to the city. The water com
pany deminds 12% cents per thsu?.aud
gallons the committee is not willing to
concede anything greater than 12 Cents.
Fifth:' Another matter of difference
is in regard to lawn rates on a flat rate
schedule. Your committee after care­

inasmuch as the property on ner has

water can be measured tiie same as any

The following lines .were written on reading a repor
sale of Public Opinion to the insurgents in last week's News.
THE STORY OF CORY-O'-TAH
Cory-o'-tah was a warrior
Of the mighty tribe of Stalwarts
Brave was he, and waged'fierce conflict
On the race of the Insurgents.
Shot be swiftly many arrows,
Shot he man^ death-tipped arrows,
And with blood-congealing war-cygr.
Struck his enemies with terror.' W
Thus the valiant Cory-o'-tah
Gained the fear of all his foemen
Many were.tile bitter foemen
Whom he met in deadly conflict,
With them constant warfare Waging:
Many sought his scalp, but vainly.
Foremost in the ranks appearing
Was the ruddy haired Insurgent,
The fair Amazon Siss-o'-tah,
Known thruout the two Dakotas,
For her savaj e.fikill in battle,
For her deeds up3n the warpath
There was also the great warrior
Sock-a-Kneedy the Insurgent
Known was he in man^r nations
For the- brightness of his sayings,
For his wisdom in palaver.
And Bark-o'-nah the avenger
Was another weighty foeman
Worthy of brave Cory-o'«t^h
And in many a well fought conflict
Proved the value of his courage, I
Proved the mettle of his daring.
But, alas! the doughty Indian,
Cory-o'-tah, son of thunder,
In an hour of weak surrender
Met the Insurgents in palaver,
Smoked with them the &tal
And for many beads and trinkets^
Which they held before his vision,
Sold his tomahawk and weapons
To his crafty foes the Insurgent
Handed o'er the &tal hatchet
Which he had so oj&en wielded
To the terror of his foemen
So the Insurgents tot p^t jS#
Counted ou#thS beads and w&mi
Counted out tbeshmin^ trinkets,
Which, had liu^a^the
I^uTwl theOTighty Cdi^-o'-tah.
