Special Meeting of City Council to Adjust Electric Light Dif ficulties. A special meeting of the citv council was held last evening at which were present the mayor, all the aldermen ex cept Jones, and Auditor Rae. The business of the meeting was to discuss matters pertaining to the electric lignt plant. The contract for the new boiler which was to le laid down in Madison October 1. whs taken ui» and the manu facturer having failed in his agreement, the order foi the boiler was canceled. This perhaps is well, as the new ooiler was to be of the upr'glit pattern which would require special remodeling of the building at the plant l»?fore it could be installed on account of its height. Be sides it has been a question in the minds of a good many citizens whether an upright boiler would be practical for the purpose intended. The pioject for a new boiler having been abandoned for the time being, it was decided to thoroughly repair the old boiler, with new grates, flues, etc., aiid make it do the woik until spring or such time as a new lioiler can be placed satisfactorily. This work has l» en in progress for the past several days, and it is likely lighting service will liegin soon perhaps this eveninu. The force of employes at the plant was reorganized by adding Henry Miller as engineer. Hverre Borgaard will remain as assistant to Mr. Miller. This will relieve Kupt. Roche fr an work in tne plant and enable him to give his entire attention to the electrical part of the business. While the public ha* lieen greatly annoyed by the closing down of the plant at this season of the year, it must be taken into account that the reorgan ization of machinery in any establish ment is a Hardship which few realize who have not had experience. No doubt those in chaige have done the best they could under the circum stances. A new engine and a new dynamo have lieen added, and had the new boiler arrived as contracted for, the public would not have lieen called upon to suffer inconvenience for the want of light as has been the case the past ten days. FIRE IN FRONT. Watertown Lady's Unpleasant Predicament On the Public Highway. A Watertown lady by the name of Mrs R. E. At water met with a very peculiar accident while returning from Arlington one day last week overland. Mrs. At water, who resides in Water town with her husband want to Ailing ton several weeks ago to look aftei the threshing on their farm which they have rented a short distance from Arl ington. Aftei transacting her business she started for Watertown with a team of horses and buggy. As the day was very cold she took along a lantern and put if in under the lobes to keep her feet warm. She had driven about ten miles on her road home when she thought she smelled burning cloth. On further investigation she found the robes and blankets were on fire. Not only the robes and blankets weie on fire but the lady's skirts bad already caught on fire. There was not a person nearer to her than five miles and her clothing on fin-. But sh« made a lightning change. She got tnose skirts oft in less time than it takes to tell it. There was a high wind and when she removed the burning skirts they immediately ignited tne dry prairie grass and a prairie fire was under full headway. While the brave little woman was trying to put out the prairie fire her satchel in the buggy burned with all its contents. Fortun ately for Mrs. Atwater her skirts were all made of woolen material and conse quently did not burn fast and she suc ceeded in removing them before she was burned. jwever she finished her journey to Watertown and arrived home without a scratch or blister although her wearing apparel was bad lv scorched. GIRLS MUST GO. Their Employment in Large Rail road Office Found to Be Im practicable. It is r#portt*l that all the women stenographers in the general offices of the Grand Trunk railway are to be dis charged for the reasons hereinafter set for, to wit: "Because they are too much addicted to the chocolate cream and caramel habit. "Because, when not indulging in various kinds of confections, they are engaged in nibbling at solid food. "Because they talk too much, and eqiet ially about matters in which the railroad company, as a common carrier, and a corporation organized lor prifit, is not new and cannot under any cir cumstances liecome interested. "Because the average woman employe has no thought for the future that is associated with the development of the company's interests, her main purpose leing to kill time until ahe find* a hu# band.'' (t is possible that aome of these charges are well founded. It is jtos-iible that women employes, as a rule, and particularly Wflen tney are thrown tg uether iii lartre numbers, are prone to carry feminine weaknesses into the dailv routine of business lite, to the ex tent of endangering the balance of those masculine minds which are more or les^ influenced by their delightful presence. It is possible that half a dozen cara mel eating women in a general office aierapable of throwing a well organiz ed lailway system nt of pear, ami that no discipline was ever established that has been sufficiently rigid to prevent the average Woman from forgetting business if there- is anything more in teresting at hand. But, with this admitted, the fact re mains that if candy, lunches and gossip only can le eliminated, women as a rule are not only faithful and honest, but competent employes. Thi fact is well recognized. Men are not perfect. We believe that this will be admitted even by railway managers. And it is frequently the fault of the men ratner than the fault of tne women that the women do not adhere more strictly to the office ules. When there are no men the women do better. When there are a few men. the women do not do so well. When there are a« many men as there are women, neither the men nor the women do unite as well as they ought to do. And man is ^as much inclined now as he was in the Garden of Eden to throw the blame on the woman when anything goes wrong. Still, for woman's sweet sake, let or nope that the action of the railway company in question may teach her that, while candy, lunching and gossip ing may all l»e very well in their way, yet from man's point of view, busi nee* is business. Chfrnsro Inter Orvnr., SOLDIERS' HOME. Preparations for the Expenditure of a l.arge Amount of Money Ml Hot Springs. Sioux City Journal. I James D. Elliott, of Tyndall, United States dis trict attorney for South Dakota, passed through Sioux City last evening on the way to Hot Springs S, D.. to arrange for securing more ground for the site of the proposed national soldiers' sani tarium. "There is not enough ground to ac commodate the plans of the govern ment's architects," Mr. Elliott said, "and I have lieen instructed to arrange for securing an additional tract. It is not unlikelv that we will be compelled to resort to condemnation proceedings. When asked as to when the appro priation for the building of the sanitar ium would be available Mr. Elloitt said it was available now. "At least $1, 0(H).(MM) will be spent by the government in building this national institution.' Mr. Elliott said. From information which Mr. Elliott received from Washington yesterday, it seems the plans will lie approved and all will lie in readiness for the work on the construction of the sanitarium to be started early in the spring. Mr. Elliott came through Yankton v 'sterdav and met United States Sena tor Gamble, who came home for Thanksgiving. Senator Kittredge spent Thansksgiving at hi* old home in New Hampshire.
