Bioomington Echo. H. E. Pond resigned tho office ot wa ter commissioner and city marshal this week. The council recently passod a resolution compelling the wator commis sioner to proceed at once to tho collec tion ot back wator tax. Mr. Pond, knowing tho condition of tho peoplo, thought the resolution extreme and handod in hie resignation. Ot course, if tho city can forco the collection of this tax at this time, all right, but it will be a hardship to many, novertholees. There are times whon peoplo can pay and there aro times when thoy can not, and this U ono ot tho times whon they can not. Thv Kuimoii Why. At a recont mooting of tho council, a lnipo batch of bills woro allowed and vmm rants wero drawn for them, but, on tho advico of City Attorney Gilliam, tho major refused to put his signature to them. Tho haphazard manner of doing tho city's business herotoforo has boon stopped, and tho present mayor nnd council aro trying to put tho business in ship-shape. Below wo give the messngo of Mayor Bontloy to tho council on tho subject. Gontlomon of tho City Council: I am informed by tho city attorney that tho occupation tax collected bv thu city can only bo used under Ordinance No. .'15, for tho following purposes (pco ordinance). I am also informed by hi,m that no part of tho Konornl fund of tho city should bo applied tc tho payment of claims arising out of tho operation of tho city wator works system. Also that no warrant should bo drawn in oxcees of eighty-live por cent of tho current lovy for which it is drawn, un less thoro is suflicient money in tho treasury belonging to tho proper fund for its paymont. Against this several funds, there aro outstanding accounts aggregating up wnrds of 400o. Of courso, theeo obll gallons ought not to havo been contract ed, because, thoy arc, or seem to be, in cxcesHof 85 per cont of tho levy under which thoy woro intondod. But tho city, hnvinjr received valuo for thorn, it is its duty to provido somo way for their i paymont. J no question is, now should it be done ? Should wo do as form or city councils havo been doing issuo or ders nnd warrants against the present year'H lovy to pay last year's dobtB ? or Hltould wo apply this year's lovy exclus ively to this year's obligations or busi ness, and make some provision for bor rowing money to pay up this M500 or $1000 floating dobt ? In my judgment, tho lnttor is tho host courso to pursue City warrants are now at u discount of 15 por cont whon thoy ought to bo nt par, and would bo except for our out standing dobt. With our warrants worth 85 centa and drawing 7 per cont on their par value, the city is roally paying In tores t on its debts nt tho rato of 22 por cont. It is certainly not good business policy. Among the accounts allowed at your last meeting, and for which I am re quested to sign warrants, aro those of the formor inombora ot this council for salaries, and that ot tho engineer in charge ot tho city water works engine for WBgoB, and othors. Now, theao claims aro just and should bo pnid, But to pay thorn out of this year's lovy moans to still further put oil tho day of our return to a cash bas'id. I have, thorefore, concluded it my duty to lay tho matter plainly boforo tho city coun cil so that thoy may have a full under standing of it, and I shall then bo gov ornod by thoir advico as to whether I should sign tho warrants or not. M. R. Bf.nti.kv, Mayor. Thore is not the least doubt but what tho poople ought to bavo their monoy, nnd if tho present levy is not accessible for outstanding indebtedness, the city should borrow the money nnd pay tho warrants at once.

McAvoy of this city was found dead in bed. Ho had boon sick for a number of weeks, howovor. We only mention this to show a coincidence. His wifo, Mrs. Kato Mc Avoy, who was well known in Red Cloud, and who recently moved to hor farm near Womor, Kansas, whoro sho lived alone, was found dead in her bod last Sunday morning, having evidently boon dead several days when discovered by her noighbors. Hor mind waa evi dently unbalanced, caused by many troubles nnd caroa during tho latter part of hor lifo. Sho would not allow her f rienda or noighbors to visit her, and in hor lono cabin sho lived and died. The causo ot hor death is unknown, but it waa probably boart diaoaso that took her off. Kind hands laid tho body at rest near tho promises, and tolegraphod her daughters, Mrs. Anson Higby and Mrs. Minnio Luttridge ot Doadwood, who camo Monday, accompanied by Mr. Hig by. Mrs. McAvoy was a most estimablo lady, and her sudden demise is to bo re gretted. Her childron nnd friends bavo the sympathy of our people in their bo-roavomont. RAILROAD NOTES. Chas.
