DO WE WANT ELECTRIC LIGHTS. The People of Our City Considerably Di vldtd on the Sobiect. Irony and Sar casm Defeats the Proposition. Wo believe we should tmvu electric lights.. TiikChikk is speaking of tho general public of our city when wo say that thoy aro progressive and want to seo Rod Cloud move ahead. Wo bo llovo our business men with fow excep tions aro for olectrlo lights and will help tho project along. Whon our mayor, Mr. L. II. Book, called a meet ing of tho citizens for Tuesday aftor noon, January 24th, ho did so for tho purposo of obtaining tho sentiment of tho citizens and business men on the subject as to whether thoy wero in favor of a proposition for tho eleotrio lighting of our city ns submitted to them by Mr. T. II. Fisher of Donvor. A fnir crowd a88omblod;nt tho Mnsomo Hall, but many weru absent on ac count of business cares which thoy could not lcavo. Mr. A. H. Kaloy was named to presido over tho meeting nnd Mr. T.J. Wnrd was named as secre tary. Tho reading of tho minutes was then takon up nnd completed by tho secretary. Immediately after the read ing of tho proposition tho mnn who wont thoro for tho purposo of blocking favorablo consideration on tho subject, nnd who has shown his hand before on occasions of this kind, rose to his feet and stated his objections, throw ing out tho inferonco that ho porhaps, in tho near future or somo other resi dent or residonts would liko to dabblo in tho acductivo gamo of eleotrio light ing for our city. IJow absurd. No, his purposo ta that mooting was simply to knock it in tho head, kill it, whether it would bo beneficial to our city or not. Why wero theso objections put in that cohj water tono of voice and ex pression? If tlicro were clauses in tho proposition that wero not good for tho financial wolfaro of our city why was not a request mado that they bo elimi nated and others of n satisfactory na turo substituted ? This is not what was wanted that cold disdainful smile and tono of voice was thero to defeat any inovo which should bo mado to secure anything beneficial to our city. The man who poses as ltcd Cloud's financial king wishes no ono to usurp his place Tho bringing in of an electric light company hero might induce somo ono to build a brown stone front on an op posite corner and that might not bo so condusivo to the financial welfare of this gentleman. Objections wero of fered by others present at tho meeting with all honesty of purposo and wo have not a word of condemnation to offer against thoso who honestly did not favor the idea of having an elec tric light system here. Our citizens ns a wliolo who are in favor of progres sion hayo as great property interests as thoso who aro against it, and tho man who has a thousand invested hero when it comes to a show down, pays at much taxes, or moro perhaps, as tho other fellow on a liko amount. Who is it that his helped our town along tho most id tbo past and at the present time? Is it tho wealthy nabob who sends out of town for his socks or is it tho man iu a small business who buys what ho needs at homo and is aliko patronized by otbets? If tho people of our city think Mint we aro not financially ablo to take up a project of this kind, well nnd good. Tor CniKF does not wish to see any projeot saddled upon our city that will load to linancial disaster, but would like our people to look at both sides of the question in a business liko way look at tho good sido as well as tho bad. Don't look at it as you would on a moonlight night, but look nt it when it is dark and stormy. Tako the resi dents of tho south wnrd for instance they liko to attend church nnd enter tainments nnd do shopping up town tho samo ns other peoplo. It thoy aro caught up town on a night whon it is dark and raining ns is ofton tho case, A Fleshy Consumptive Did you ever see one? Did you ever hear of one ? Most certainly not. Con sumption is a disease that invariably causes loss of flesh. If you are light in weight, even if your cough is only a slight one, you should certainly take Scott's Emuslion of cod Itoer oil with hypo phosphites. No remedy is such a perfect prevent ive to consumption. Just the moment your throat begins to weaken and you find you are losing flesh, you should begin to take ir. And no other remedy has cured so many cases of consumption. Unless you are far advanced with tlilc rlicHnup-Spnrr's Hmul- this disease, Scott's Emul sion will hold every in ducement to you for a perfect cure.

Somo persons ut tho meet ing Tuesday afternoon advocated that it be far bettor to bnild sidewalks and wo coinofdo- with thom, but as thero is no prospocts of'sidewalks, we would rather havo electric lights than no sidewalks nor no eloctrio lights either. Then, thoro aro strangers in the city oftentimes, nml they are not well post ed on tho deadly anklo breaking holes and pitfalls, and it would bo far better to bavo light on the subject than to havo a dampge suit that would coat ton times moro than tho lights do. It has not been many years ago that tho lady members of a theatre company playing at tho opera house got into a kneo deep iniro at tho side of the Iientloy block nnd had to bo rescued from their pro dicament and shown their way home by tho- night watch with the aid of a lantern. There havo been other minor accidents from tiino to timo, which, lucky for tho city wero not serious enough for n duraago suit. Do you expect tho ladies and out of town vis itors to always bo oxpected to carry a "glim!" What might havo boon a serious con llagratlotfhad it not boon for prompt and effeotivo work occurred at tho homo of W. W. Wright on Tuesday night. A lighted lamp was knocked over by Charley, tho young nephew of Mr. Wright, who was in nn up stairs room, and in his excitement ho picked it up and threw it to tho hall below.

Ono sometimes wonders why Jptoplo patronizo the barnstormers who mak this town and call tbsmsolves actors. As a general thing thoy aro a penurious outfit wbo expect to get all their favors for nothing and jow you down on any work they havo to givo out. Wo un deratand that the outfit now showing in the city has gotton their work down fine in this line, getting thoir baggage which consisted of two or three wagon loads hauled up from and back to tho depot for a dollar. If they work tho hotel whoro thoy stop at in tho samo manner they probably get their grub on tbo samo cheap basis. The quality of gratitudo which thoy have in thoir hearts for those who do them favors is limited. Talking about gratitudo, a a newspaper ofllce sees moro of ingrati tude porhaps than most places. Tho editor booms some candidate for ofllce, niakas enemies and loses money by it. and then has the satisfaction of seeing his paper which the candidate is taking returned through tho postolllco marked "refused" because tho caudidato was not ertcted. On tho other hand if tho man who is running is elected ho will take thu paper until bis term expires and wishes no more favors and then back it comes "rofusod" or you receive a notico to tako his namo off becaus ho is taking too many papors and must cut down exponsos. No ono does so many gratuitous favors as tho editor of a country weekly newspaper and ro col vos so littlo thanks in roturn.
