The series of meetings which
have been in procrrcBs at the
Methodist church for ten days past
have proven very successful, over
twenty persons presenting them
selves at the altar with a view of
leading a better and withal a more
satisfactory life.
The church is crowded nightly
and it is believed that the meetings
will prove among the greatest in
results ot any that have ever been
held in the city.
Rev. Lowry, the evangelist, has
a great influence over his audiences
and seconded by the earnest work
of the resident pastor and the
members of the church it is only
reasonable to expect grand results
from the work
No one cm attend thet-e services
without beinn benefitted; the pro
fessnr of Christianity is strength
ened in his faith and work; the
non-professor is led to see the error
or his way and realize his need of a
change in his mode of living.
These meetings will be continued
as long as sufficient interest is
displayed.

The City Council.
The city council held its rcguiar
bi-monthly meeting Tuesday even-
ng, all members but Iddings being
present.
The final dividend of the 1896
claims against the city was ordered
paid, and the clerk is now issuing
warrants, much to the satisfaction
of the claimants. There is some
question as to whether the council
has had the legal right to pay
these claim, but as they were just
and the labor performed or articles
urnished in good faith, the council
has recognized them as just debts
against the city and has run the
ml of them being declared illegal.
Mr. Alt of Mat-on City, Iowa,
appeared belorc the council and
cave considerable information as
to the system of street and resi
dence lighting which is furnished
by the company which he repre
sents. This system is one in
which gasoline evaporation is
used, and Mr. Alt said that a plant
furnishing 3 000 lights of seventy
candle power each would cost in
he neighborhood of ten thousand
dollars, The merit of this light is
said to be its cheapness, the cost
per light being less than incandes
cent electric hunts and the
brilliancy four fold greater. In
order to put in a plant of this kind
the city would need to vote bonds,
and even then the levy permitted
by law would not realize enough
funds to put in a plant sufficient to
meet the requirements of the city.
One draw back to the system is
that the capacity of the plant can
not be increased without expending
a large amount of money. From
expressions we have so far heard,
t is not likely bonds for putting m
a plant such as Mr. Alt represents
would receive the necessary major-
ty.
The council adjourned to meet
Saturday evening, when it is
thought the franchise proposition
submitted by Lester Walker will
be either accepted or rejected.
Good Financial Condition.
The payment of the last dividend
of the 18 claims practically clears
up the floating indebtedness of tlx
city and when the present admin
istraliou closes its work next Mav
it hopes to have a balance in the
treasury for the next administra
tion to begin work with. When it
is taken into consideration that the
small-pox cases caused an nddi
tional cxpenre of about fifteen
hundred dollars and that about all
the bills caused by the disease have
been paid, the financial condition
of the citv is a source of congratu
lation.
The only thing that mars the
otherwise healthy financial condi
tion of the city is the yearly deficit
in the hydrant rental, the monev
obtained from the levy being about
three hundred dollar less each
year than the rental. Local states
men and financiers have attempted
'n devise plan whereby this deficit
miuht be wiped out but so far have
been unable to do so. The final
result will be that the water conr
nany will sue and obtain a jndg.
ment against the city and that a
special levy will be made to pay the
judgment. But with no bonded in
dsbteriness and no floating indebt
edness other than the hydrant
rental deficit, the city is in a better
condition financially than a large
majority of cities nt the same size
in the state and ia the west.
During this time when influenza
seems to get the "grip" on us all
the following excerpt should be a
brace for our nerves: The Phila
delphta Record observes: "When
free from every form of nervous
debility a person may expose him
self to draughts, dampness and
other usual causes of colda and
escape entirely, while at another
time, when weary or depressed from
any cause, he may become the victim
of a fatal pneumonia from a much
slighter exposure. The nervous
origin of colds seems to be recpg
nized by all physicians who have
made a special study of acute dis
eases of the lungs and throat.

"Xing' Rastus."
The man who organized "King
Rastus." which comes to the
opera house next Tuesday knew
what he was about, From New
York to San Francisco theatrical
managers and the amusement
oving public have nothing but
words of praise for him. He has
concentrated in one performance
all the cream of concert nnd colored
vaudeville talent. The piece itself
s a continuous two and one-half
hours' delight. There is rag-time
music, the quintessence of cake-
walking, the soul charm of the
Southern plantation melodies, the
utter ludicrousncss of innate negro
humor, beautiful costumes, beauti
ful faces, beautiful voices, beauti
ful forms, special scenery and a
presentation, without pretention,
superior to any colored organiza
tion in America to-day.
