The meeting held in the court room
last Thursday evening at request of
city council was fruitless for the
reason that the water company em
phatically declined to accept the new
franchise on the terms offered by
the council
At the appointed time a large con
course of citizens had assembled and
after the council was called to order
City Attorney McCarl announced that
he had in hand the draft of the pro
posed new franchise ordinance of the
council with the McCook Water Works
Co He stated at the outstart that
the water company had refused to ac
cept the ordinance as drafted by the
council
Mr Thompson suggested that as the
ordinance proposed was thus a dead
issue that no time be devoted to read
ing the ordinance but that another
live proposition be considered
It developed that certain gentlemen
of the city had filed that date with
the city clerk a proposal to pump the
water for the city at a stated price
The city attorney replied that the
council would later consider this pro
posal and take action accordingly
The council announced that they
would meet with the gentlemen mak
ing the proposal on Tuesday of follow
ing week
The council then adjourned
Another meeting of citizens follow
ed
G E Thompson was made chair
man of this meeting
The proposal which appears else
where in full in this issue was dis
cussed at some length but no action
was taken
The general water works question
was further aired and discussed by
different citizens
After considerable discussion and
in response to a desire to do some
thing concrete and practical the fol
lowing named gentlemen were appoint
ed a committee to ascertain through
the city council the price asked by
the present company for its plant

WHY THE WIND BLOWS
The Basic Principle ths Tendency of
Hot Airs to Rise
The wind like other things of every
day life rarely invites notice unless it
Is unusually high and rarely do we
hear the questions Why does the
wind blow Why doesnt the wind
blow
What is this wind that rushes out
of the nowhere Into the here Why
should it blow at all or why some
times so gently and at other times
with the resistless force of the hurri
cane
The wind could have no power It
could not even exist if the air had no
weight this weight having been shown
to be about thirty one grains for each
hundred cubic inches of air When air
is put in motion the effect is like that
obtained by throwing a ball against an
object The harder you throw the ball
the harder it will strike and the great
er the number of balls thrown at one
time the greater will be the force of
the blow When the wind is blowing I
It strikes what it blows against and
the harder it blows that Is the greater
the speed of the air the harder It will
strike against the resisting object
What causes the wind to blow or
why the air should be in motion is not
easy to explain Simply stated it is
caused by the tendency of hot air to
rise and thus to form a partial vacuum
into which tlu cooler sinonli air
rushes in much thi satin vw -

PRIDE ON BOTH SIDES
A Story of the Duke of Somerset and
the Artist Seymour
We have all heard of the proud
Duke of Somerset but we do not all
know of the occasion on which his
pride had a fall The story is told In
The Glenbervie Journals
It seems that the duchess had sent
for Seymour a celebrated painter of
horses to make the portrait of a race
horse at Petworth Seymour during
his stay used to dine In the stewards
room but one day the duke was so
pleased with the picture as it ad
vanced that he desired that he would
dine at his table
At dinner Seymour who probably
had not been expected to mix in the
conversation took occasion to say that
he believed he had the honor to be re
lated to his grace This gave such of
fense that he was either sent away or
put so much out of humor as to go
away from Petworth without finish
ing the picture
Afterward the dukes pride gave way
to the desire he had of possessing a
good portrait of his favorite horse
and he ordered his steward to write to
Seymour and engage him to return to
finish his work at Petworth
Seymour directed his reply to the
duke himself in these words Your
pride would not allow that I am of
your family To convince you that I
am your picture shall remain as it is
for by I wont come

from his office as civil judge He fled
to Switzerland and then to the United

New York theater to gain a living
His property was afterward returned
to him and he was made a counselor
of the supreme court an office he
clung to successfully through changes
of empire and kingdom His Physi

many celebrated books It was re
fused by several publishers and even
tually was published at the authors
expense but without his name at
tached to it as he considered the na
ture of the work incompatible with his
judicial functions
It was Brillat Savarin who declared
that the discovery of a new food does

race than the discovery of a star

COWED THE THIEVES
Odd but Effective Way of Attaching a
Mans Property
Attaching a mans property for debt
is supposed to be a legal process but
an incident which occurred years ago in
the city of Natchez as related by Davy
Crockett in his Life and Adventures
shows that there are other attach
ments which sometimes accomplish a
beneficent purpose
An odd affair occurred when I was
last at Natchez declared Mr Crockett
A steamboat stopped at the landing
and one of the crew went ashore to
purchase provisions He went into a
saloon on the way and the adroit In
mates contrived to rob him of all his
money The captain of the boat a de
termined fellow went ashore in the
hope of persuading them to refund
but they declined
Without further ceremony the cap
tain assisted by his crew and passen
gers some 300 or 400 in number made
fast an immense cable to the frame
building where the theft had been
committed Then he allowed fifteen
minutes for the money to be forth
coming vowing that if it were not
produced within that time he would
put steam to his boat and drag the
house into the river
The thieves knew that he would
keep bis word and the money was
promptly produced

PRESENCE OF MIND
Earl Kept His Head and
the
Highwayman Lost His
In Sporting Days and Sporting
Ways Ralph Nevili relates two inci
dents of the early nineteenth century
in which English highwaymen figure
In August 1819 Lady Stanley
traveling from York accompanied by
her servant was stopped by a high
wayman when the maid in her alarm
took up a bottle of ginger beer and
the cork flying out made such a report
that the highwayman instantly gallop
ed off in great alarm
Lord Berkeleys encounter with one
of the famous gentlemen of the road
had more serious consequences
Being driven over Hounslow Heath
he was awakened from sleep by his
coach being brought to a standstill
and a threatening face looking in at
the window
I have you at last my lord said
a gruff voice though you said you
would never yield to a robber Deliver
Certainly was the earls reply
but tell me first who is that looking
over your shoulder
The highwayman turned his head
to look and at the same moment Lord
Berkeley shot him through the head
dead
The Lion of St Mark
The symbol of the Venetian republic
the famous lion of St Mark is made
of bronze There is a tradition among
the Venetian people that its eyes are
diamonds They are really white ag
ates faceted Its mane is most elabo
rately wrought and its retracted gap
ing mouth and Its fierce mustaches
give it an oriental aspect The crea
ture as it now stands belongs to many
different epochs varying from some
date previous to our era down to this
century It is conjectured that it may
have originally formed a part of the
decoration of some Assyrian palace
St Marks lion it certainly was not
originally for it was made to stand
level upon the ground and had to be
raised up In front to allow the evangel
to be slipped under its fore paws
The Very Oldest Inn
Which is the oldest inn in England
The title deeds of the Saracens Head
at Newark date back to 1341 and local
antiquaries cite documentary evidence
to prove that the Seven Stars at Man
chester existed before the year 135G
There Is even a legend that the wife
of Earl Godwin stayed at the Foun
tain at Canterbury in 1029 But what
are all these compared with the Fight
ing Cock at St Albans mentioned in
Old Country Inn and said to be
the oldest inhabited house in England
A few years ago its signboard modest

rebuilt after the flood
The Tree Frog of Paraguay
In the manner of disposing of their
eggs many species of frogs exhibit re
markable peculiarities A tree frog
native of Paraguay makes its nest in
a bush overhanging a pond The low
er ends of a number of leaves are
drawn together and fixed in that posi
tion by a number of empty egg cap
sules The eggs are also covered with
a shield of empty capsules to protect
them from the sun and air When the
eggs are hatched the plug at the bot
tom appears to fall out and the tad
poles tumble into the water
