JOHN BRENNAN, Auctionoer. D. H. STAFFORD, Clerk TERMS 12 months at 8 per cont. Excursion to Llmon, Colorado. A. IT. Kaley has returned from Ll mon, Colorado, where he has lately engaged In the land business of loca ting homesteaders and helling land, and has .some choice lands for sale at from 81.50, SO, S7.50 to S10 per acre, not far out from Limon, Colorado, a growing town that offers many opportunities in different lines of business. There is a great opening for a restaurant and bakery, also livery stable, as the one there can not accommodate half the conveyance demanded. A well borer and windmill man, if on hand soon, could make a small fortune. A good newspaper is very much iu demand to advertise the many audvantages of that country and the many bargains it has to offer. A farm and loan com pany would do well; another barber shop is needed; another lumber and cement company would do excellently, as the present parties are overcrowd ed. There are two first class hotels and they can not meet the demand, and a good second class hotel a 81.25 a day house would do a rushing busi ness. Limon has two railroads mak ing a junction at this place and a roundhouse employing 128 men daily. Eighteen mail pouches are changed there daily. Tho Hock Island runs four passenger trains each way daily and the Union Pacific three passenger trains each way daily, making quite a heavy tralllc in business. People nre coming in from almost every state looking for land, and it can not be long until cheap land will be of tho past. There will bo an excursion leave lied Cloud December 18 for Li mon. Tho round trip will cost you, by Denver, SKI, which would be well spent In seeing the country If you buy no land or take no homestead. There has quite a number been outon former excursions and bought lands and taken homesteads, and they have Invariably been well pleased with the country and their purchases of land. There are many good bargains left yet that I would like to see my friends take ad vantage of. There is yet time to get in on the llrst and reap the benefits. I hope to see many of you take the train next Tuesday evening, as that may be the last excursion for some time. Do not fear a cloudy day, or a little cold weather, or threatened snow. You will not suffer In the cars, and when you arrive in Limon you will have good hotel accommodations. Closed carriages and other convey ances will take you free over land to see and show you country and lands, and the finest of wcathr may bo there on your arrival, as southeastern Colo rado lias not the cold weather that Nebraska has. So come along and get In the procession while you can. A. If. lv.vr.iiv. A Minimum Water Rate. The minimum water rate, for which this paper has so long contended, is at last about to become a reality. The city council, at a meeting held last Thursday night, passed an ordinance which provides for a minimum water rental of SO per annum, the following being the graduated rate for water service agreed upon: Less than 100,000 gallons monthly, 20 cents per thousand. From 100,000 to 200,000 gallons per month, 15 cents per thousand. From 200,000 to 100,000 gallons per mouth, 12 cents per thousand. From 100,000 to 500,000 gallons per mouth, 10 cents per thousand. Over 500,000 gallons per month, 8 cents per thousand. The minimum rate for water service is based on the size of the feed or sup ply pipe, and is as follows; For ) Inch pipe, SO per annum. For 1 inch pipe. 812 per annum. For l( Inch pipe, 818 per annum. For 1?4 Inch pipe, 821 per annum. Where the amount of water con. sumed exceeds the minimum rate, tho excess shall be paid for at the gallon rate. Among other things, the ord!nanco provides that those who do not wish to buy meters may rent them from tho city at 25 cents per month; that no one but the water commissioner, hln assistants or a licensed plumber be allowed to make water connections, under penalty; that where water haa been shut off by water commissioner for any cause a fine of 825 shall be Im posed upon any unauthorised person, turning same on. .MunZan Pile Remedy put up tin con venient collapsible tubes with no.lo attachment so that the remedy may be applied at the very seat of the trou ble, thus relieving almost instantly bleeding, itching or protruding piles.
