C AVT I'SE METHR.
It developed at the council meeting
that the big water meter costing $700
which was bought by the city for the
use of the Rock Island Plow company,
cannot be used. It was str.ted that the
company had made other plans and
will not need city water service, ex
pecting Instead to build c 50.000 gal

give greater pressure. The council
tl.erelore concluded to save the ex

ones.

their bond which was filed to guaran
tee that streets and alleys would be
brought to grade. Commissioner
Reynolds stated he would interview
the parties interested this week and
that if some action was not taken by
next Monday ' he would introduce a
resolution to that effect, which satis
fied Mr. Jackson.
A communication was received from
the manufacturers of . the Nicolson
forced draft air boiler in Chicago of
fering to install two new boilers at
the waterworks for $1,000, claiming
that 15 per cent fuel would thereby be
saved, the capacity would be Increased
10 per cent, the smoke would be great
ly reduced and the installation would
cost nothing for 12 months. The fuel
bill of $5,300 for last year would be
cu'. $795. according to the communica
tion which was received and placed on
file. The council then adjourned.

of the business district early this
morning, barefooted, bareheaded and
wearing only a pair of trousers, Ed
Kane, pursued by imaginary demons as
a result of drinking excesses, tore his
hair and shouted: "Here they come
boys, here they come. Don't let 'em

dashed along Second avenue, where
his mad flight was interrupted by a
policeman who took the half-era ed

The Maiden Insurance company is a
singular Denmark Institution. It is
confined to the nobility, and the noble
man, as soon as a female child is born
to him, enrolls her name on the com
pany's books and pays in a certain
sum and thereafter a fixed annnal
amount to the treasury. When the
young girl has reached the age of
twenty-one she is entitled to a fixed
income and to an elegant suit of apart
ments, and this income and this resi
dence, both almost princely, are hers
until she either marries or dies. The
society has existed for generations. It
has always prospered. Thanks to it.
poverty stricken old maids are un
known among the Denmark nobility,
but every maiden lady is rich and
happy.
