If The Water -Company Has to Walk It Will Pay Its Ovo Cotti, Amounting Probably ti V20O, and Its Officers Can Chronicle a Bit of Interesting-, Exper ience Messrs. Chapman and Sullivan ChagTinned at Their Exhibition. Another act in the water company farce was played before tbe federal court in Omaha yesterday, and just as The News predicted, the water com pany was badly worsted. Finding that their position was not tenable, and, rather than be kicked out by tbe court. Messrs.. Capman and Sullivan on, yesterday dismissed their own case thus :' saddling'' a big bill ol costs onto Ifieif client ' The farce was not ended so easily, however. Oneof the "twins" appears for the Boston Safety Deposit company while the side partner is the attorney for the Plattsmoulh : Water company. The superintendent of the company, Mr. Pollock, testified that the two were onnd' that the-stock- of the water company- was owned by the other named corporation, but for the sake of the farce or the fees, the two companies have suddenly become di vorced,and we are.conf i onted with the ridiculous "spectacle" of an attorney throwing his client into bankruptcy. ChapesaOf- representing the ..Safety Deposit company, declares the Platts mouth Water company insolvent, and asks for a receiver. His old-time chum , Sullivan accepts service and says amen. There being at tbe time no objection, the court at once ap pointed T.n II. Pollock as such re ceiver, ana within .ten minutes after ward .the receiver files a new suit against this city. A farce from start to finish which the court will not be a party to when il has been fully ad vised of the facts. The Boston stockholders will wake up some fine morning and wonder where they are at with their Nebraska plant entirely swallowed up in costs and attorney fees. This city can af ford to look on and smile while the Boston fellows pay for the fun. The new. case that has been instituted will no doubt go out of court as easily as the first attempt of. tbe attorneys did, and by that time the water company, if there is anything left of it, will be will be willing to . meet the city on a fair, proposition, and settle out of court Nicely Entertained. Mr. and Mrs. Hal Goodwin gave a party last evening in honor of their niece Miss Gretta Tolle of St. Louis who is here on a visit.

" Bnrned to Death. John L. Jones, who used to reside here -' and who married a woman named Anthony, met with a most hor rible death at Sioux City recently. Two negroes set fire to the house he waB living in; and it seems his family was away. The result was that he was roasted alive, his charred remains be ing found after the fire had consumed the ' building. The negroes were caught and are both in jail.

Passengers who came to Chicago today from Chippewa valley stations assured anxious in quirers that though there was still the gravest ganger of Chippewa Falls being destroyed there was no longer any reasonable fear for Eau Claire. The flood sufferers along Chippewa river are praying for warmer weather as much as a subiiding of the waters. The thermometer at the Wisconsin Central station at Chippewa Fails at midnight registered 10 degrees below zero. : ,, .... . . ,. A rise in the temperature would al leviate the suffering of the homeless and terror-stricken people, as , well lis melt the ice gorge and allow the river to subside to its, ordinary channel in the territory between the falls and Irvine , station. The Northwestern St. Paul and Wisconsin Central rail ways have resumed .the running of trains to Chippewa ,and the postofhee has been , moved to the business por tion of the town, seven . blocks away, on the hill. ........ When the limited on the Wisconsin Central road f rom . St. t Paui arrived here this morning half an hour late on account of time lost in passing Eau Claire and Chippewa there were many people at the depot to learn of the conditions prevailing in the-stricken region from the ' tiain men and 'pas sengers. The train was at 'Chippewa at 11 p. m., and the water wa9" then over the platform of the depot. .The people were hilled with fe r that ,the worst would befall the town, business was suspended and there was a gene ral exodus to the hills north of town; A.

Reports re ceived from southeastern and western Texas state that a severe blizzard, has been raging in these sections during the last forty-eight hours. At Houston, Victoria and , Eagle Pass the heaviest snow storm of re cent years is raging. It is not thought that cattle will suffer very much.. Pikrrie, S. D., Dec. 1. Later storm returns from the range country are not so favorable as those which came in earlier. While there were but few cattle lost, the storm has proved to be a serious one to sheep men. Henry Seville, a rancher, came in this after noon and reports passing .1,400 dead sheep, which belong to--a - Montana man. So far as has been learned at least 2,000 are . lost with a large part of the sheep range to. hear from. .

' A s farmers are not fools, but persons of shrewd intelligence, the course' and condition of the wheat market must bo very discouraging to Mr.Bryau at the beginning of "campaign of 1900." sif we may speak in Iarmer language, the price of wheat "knocKS the stuffing"', out of one of free silver's most effectn ive scarecrows.
