' In summing up the whole thing
there are a -dozen different ways the
public should expect tome substan
tial benefit from granting these val
uable franchisee at tlurfeands of the
city council men, who are the guard
ians of the taxpayers^ .Interests, who
are helpless unless the council comas
to their aid and rescue.
The council ought to get together
and carefully canvass the matter
and make the following require
ments among others:
First?A fair cash consideration.
Second?60 much tax on every
pole and additionalpole yearly.
Third?Each rear the oouncll to
regulate the price of gas and elec
tricity by measure.
Fourth?Require certain voltage
and service., especially light fur
nished on Sunday.
Fifth?Require the company to
furnish tight to any and all parts of
the city upon application, as It Is a
common carrier the same as other
franchised companies.
8lxth?Reserve the right to re
move the plants to unpopulated
parts of the city, where public wor
ship, hotels and business will not be
disturbed.
Seventh?Light the streets of the
city to a certain stipulated amount
not less than )5000 free of charge,
and, also provide lights for the
court house yard, and one in par
ticular so that the town clock may
be seen after night, as it used to
be before the light was removed.
Closing, I differ a good deal from
Mr. McGeorge in that he makes no
specifications but talks 1 n general.
I think the applicants will agree
with me as one of them and Mr.
Cunningham a few years ago fore
saw the value of franchises In
Clarksburg and the company even
went so far as to carry a case to
the supreme court, when the
Traders Company tried to usurp the
streets without any consideration,
or llko the moping owl did to the
moon complain, for such, as wan
dered near her sacred bower molest
her solitary reign.
Hard Times in Kuuu.
The old days of graahoppera and
drouth are almost forgotten In the
prosperous kansas of today; al
though a citizen of Codell, Earl
Shamburg, has not jet forgotten a
hard time he encountered. He says:
"I was worn out and discouraged
by coughing night and day. and
could and no relief till I tried Dr.
King's New Discovery. It took less
than one bottle to completely cure
me." The safest and most reliable
cough and cold remedy and lung
and throat healer ever discovered.

WASHINGTON, Oct. /44.?Tto
Dumber of pensioners on tbe roll on
I June 30, 1807, waa *87,971, ac
cording to tbe annual report of the
Commissioner ot Pensions, lust
| made public. This Is a net tailing
off for the flacal year of 18,000 pen
sioners, which was the greatest net
loss for any year In the history ot
the pension bureau. The number cr
pensioners remaining on the roll
June 30 last was the smallest ilncc
1881. '
On January- 31. H0S, tbe number
of pensioners on the roll was 1,004,
198, and that li the felgh water
mark In the history of the bureau.
Stace tha| date there has been a
steady decrease In tbe number of
pensioners, aggregating .to' June 30.
last, a little' tiUre thad two' years,:
38,825.
{ Airtfg ihe fiscal yeW closed Juno
"0 last the additions t<} the roll
amounted to 29|904 new pensioners
anil 1.130 restorations'and renewal *,
making a total addition to tbe ro'l
or 31.034 pensioners. During th."
year tbe loss by death ot survivors
of the civil war was 31,201, leaving
the names of 644,338 survivors of
thai war on the roll on June 30
laBt.
The annual value of pensions June
30, 1907, was $140,850,880, which
was $4,613,131 greater than It was
on the corresponding date ot 1906.
The marked Increase In the val
ue of the roll over the year 1901!
notwithstanding the decrease in the
number of pensioners. Is due to the
pensions granted under the act of
February 6. 1907, at the higher
rates provided by that net.
The names of three women,
daughters of revolutionary war sol
diers, stil remain on the pension
roll. The oue widow of a veteran
of that war living in 1906 Is now
dead. Five hundred !and fifty-eight
widows of soldiers of the Mexican
war were drawing pensions on June
