From First Page.) feature of the day, as.lt did not carry out the true idea that there would ) bargains offered by the merchants in' altogether differ ent lines of goods. ' ' Mr.- Thierolf called the allien t ion of the club to the incon venience that was experienced ju getting freight into this . city from Chicago, as in the past they had been able to get two ears of freight from that place a week and now it was carried through to Lincoln and then sent back here, causing several days' delay This matter was referred to the transportation committee" to take up wilh the railroad. ; The' nuestion of the - electric iigrn service - iuruisneij m iiiis City by the Nebraska' Lightin comnanv was the subject of much -discussion among the dif ferent members. Mr. Parmele hail btjen informed, he staled, by members of the light company that their line from lied Oak would Jake care of the service here until a new plant could be put up in this city, and 1hen tlie plant here would take care of .the service into Louisville, as well as in this city, and I bat' I be pres ent plant here could not carry the amount of current used at present in this city. Mr. Thierolf stated . that lite light service was certainly about, as poor as it roul 1 possibly be, and that while th-'ir sjore was well equipped with lights, on Saturday nights when they re mained open until late it was. al most impossible to see with the electric lights, as the picture shows on the same circuit, as soon : as they were , start ed -up. caused the electric ' lights -to die lowin". , making it necessary to light the gas in order to see bow to wait! on the customers. Councilman Hallstrom, chair man of the light, comniilleeof the council, was present al the meeting ot the rlub and he. ex pressed his dissatisfaction at the street lights, but bad done bis utmost to have them kept in good shape, but was unable to gef the do ice to Keen a cnecK on me lights ' which were out, but he thought the fault was , in the company trying to run the. plant as cheaply as possible, as lhey did not. exercise proper care in having the lights turned olf in daylight, but allowed some of theiu to' burn" during fhe daytime, with the result that the mantles were' burned out and at nights the lightw ,.wer.e. no, good. In many towns of the stale, Mr. Parmele stated, the citizens had installed porch lights a! their residences and " the city had paid for the current used in these at night, and they, had fur nished excellent light along, (lie residence streets. . ' Mr. Halt had visaed the differ ent property owners on the south side of Main street in the J block between Fourth and Fifth streets, and thev hail all agreed to join in the purchasing three elec,tr.oIier,s for use in that block if the city would furnis the- electrio .. current. to light them. Mr. Darclav. he alsi stated, had agreed to see the mer chants on the north side, .of. th street on a similar proposition and trv and nut this block in first-class shape in the matter o liarbts. This is the manner in which most' of the smaller cilies of the state have secured their excellent lights, ami it "is. to be hoped that the proposition is taken up here and put through That the city would be willing to furnish the payment ior me current if this arrangement was nerfected . there did not seem much doubt to Councilman Lush insky, and he personally favored the proposition. He thought a committee should be. appointed to canvass the different business men of the city and if possibb secure a uniiorm size uu num ber of lights to a block and sub mit the matter to the city coun cil at an early date. , ; Councilman Hallstrom was -nv nmrn ODIJOseu lu .hit nronosition to furnish the cur- tn. thA business section oi . . . t 1 I. lit t the city unless the merchants put up for .it. put .mougiil mat ights should be erecteu on; uig poles on the hills around town. Mr. Lushmsky tooK a very just view of the matter as to ine lighting of the main street ,of ihfi town, as he expressed the un disputed fact that the. lighting or fh st reet properly was of lasting benefit to all who resided in the city, and that it was a matier in which those who resided out m the residence part of town were as deeply interested as those in 92K2353ZJS Business men are frequently; con fronted with the necessity of being in several places at the same time.

On motion of Mr. Halt a com mittee of three will be appointed to canvass the business houses of I he city and ascertain just what kind of lights could be se- , cured to .light, f he. ,str.eels,xand to have Ihem uniform in size and style. The matter of maintaining the band during the "winter months was discussed by the different members present and thej- all agreed that the club should tiid the boys in keeping up their re hearsals during the winter, and Director ...tfcbujhnf, , of the Bur lington band, who was bresenl, wa.s'.-H'ke'd "by flic cfub' 'members to express his views on the mat ter. He slated that the -most valuable work of the whole year could be derived at tlie .hand practice and that the band would be greatly improved by the ('rain ing and practice of the winter. He was willing, he slated, to in struct the-band at one concert a week during the winter months at 15 a month. The matter was settled by a motion of Mr. Wurl that he Commercial club would raise the necessary amount to pay the instructor and allow the band the use of the club rooms for practice during- the winter. - WINTER t EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 18th . .Gulf Resorts Jacksonville, Palm Beach, .
