A Gold Wiuor Injunction , J. J. Shea is having trouble with the water works company. The company claimed that there was water rent due and Mr , Shea claimed that the amount duo , if any , was due from the owner of the house , Mr. Wheeler , and not from him. Ho was willing to pay from the time that ho agreed to take water but don't believe in back pay which ought to bo collected of another. While this dif ference was still unadjusted tlio com pany wont to the place and shut oil' the water. Mr. Shea got a plumber to turn it on again. Then he went before Judge Aylesworth and got an injunction re straining the water works company from interfering or from turning the water oft from the nouso. The water wgrks com pany tiled a motion to have the injunc tion dissolved. Before this matter was heard the water works company , as is claimed , went to the house , and despite the injunction took up the box , whore the water is turned off and on , and took it out. thns cutting oft' ' the supply. Then Air. Shea caused a warrant to bo issued for Harry Birkin- bine , the engineer of the company , and H. P. Warren , the bookkeeper , for them to appear and show cause why they should not bo fined for contempt of court. These two gentlemen appeared before Judge Aylesworth yesterday af ternoon , and gave security for their ap pearance on triday morning , when the case will probably be heard. There may some interesting decisions grow out of this case , and water consumers will watch the outcome. It is certainly re freshing to note that the injunction cases , which have been heretofore against whisky , are now involving cold water. It is getting to be a serious state of affairs when a thirsty soul cannot get cither strong or mild drinks , whisky or water , without having the liquid filtered through an injunction. No Llfcht Matter. The action of the city council in pass ing the gas ordinance to a second reading has called forth much indignation. Tlu assurances have been privately and in formally given that this obnoxious ordi- .nauco would not receive any further at teution. It now seems that the ordinance Is one notch nearer the top , and is in i much better condition for having sncakot through in some form. The gas company is managed by shrewd men , who ar < naturally and to a certain extent justi fmbly looking after their own interests Any proposition to renew tlio charto should be looked upon with suspicioi and handled with care , but when tha proposition embodies the condition o this city paying twice as much for gas a is paid by outer cities , it should havi been dropped into the basket. This cit ; has for years been paying onormou prices for gas , and the company has ha < a monopoly. The price of gas lias elate late been nearly three times what othe cities have been paying , and now it i claimed that it is a generous reduction i throw oft * enough so that Council Blutl wili only have to pay about twice whn other cities pay. The price of gas ha been | 4.00 a thousand for years , while i cities a better quality has bee : given for loss than $3.00. There has bee little agitation on tl < o question , bccaus the citi/cns were so confident that th ordinance for a renewal of the chnrte would not be given oven a second read ing. This having been dona it is tim that the citizens should be aroused , aa express their minds freely. Good gas t a cheap price is what is demanded. Th present company has bad a chance fc several years to meet this demand , an not having done so it seems that the cit council should bo in no haste to rene' the monopoly. . There has been , and ! now much faith in the wisdom and cai lion of the council , and the people lee to that b'ody for protection. The action of the council in passing the ordinance to a second rending isi however , alarming - - ing , and a prompt halt should bo made. The question of lighting the streets is also an Important one. There are vari ous devices on account of the oxhorbi- tant price of gas. It costs the city now about $ ,100 a month foi1 getting what flickering lights as are afforded. The city has been paying the gas company ? ! K ) for each post. All ono needs to uo Is to lljturu for himself the average number of hours each night that a lamp post is lighted , the number of feet of gas each burner consumes per hours , and with the average of moonlight nights It appears that the gas company lias been getting over .f4 a thousand tor the gas burned these many years in the street lamps. The city has been trying tocconomi/o by using oil lamps in certain districts , and has been forced into this by the high rates of gas. This lias gone on so long that it-will not satisfy the public for the company to now come in with a paltry re duction , leaving the price as reducedoven , still so much higher than that paid by other cities. It is time that the city and the citizens insisted on cheaper rates , rates somewhere in proportion to tlio.se of other cities. The company's charter has two years yet to run , but there is a strange anxiety to get the charter re newed now. Possibly before that two years is up there will lie other imnrovo- incuts in lighting a city , which will en able tlio city to got its light si ill cheaper. The electric light company is already fig uring on lighting the entire city , and thoco ivno have the making of contracts and the granting of charters should in vestigate carefully before deciding. There should be no trilling with such important matters , and no hanging of an obnoxious onlinancn so high up as to en able it to bo shoved to a successful top- reach by some shrewd and unexpected move by those interested. Installing a Pastor. 'EJic installation of Uov. Stephen Phclps , D.D. , as pastor of the Presbyterian church , took place last evening. The thunder shower ritiuo up at an unfor tunate time , just as the bells were ring ing for the service. On tills account the audience was not so largo as it would otherwise have been. Tlio church was beautifully decorated with plants , vines ferns and llowers. A very elaborate iud beautiful double star of cut flowers , the center of red , ihe border of white , stood by the pulpit. The preliminary services consisted of a business meeting ot the presbytery , at which the record was madn complete , the transfer of Dr. Phclps from the Cellar KanMs presbytery being accepted , his call to this church read , and his accept ance. After these preliminaries the service * of inntalhition followed. Rev. Air. Cas ett , of Emerson , presided. Rev. Air. Smith , of Clarinda , offered a very tender and appropriate prayer. Rov.Alr.McAfee , of Corning , read portions of scripture Aliss Barbara Alcrkcl sang a sweet solo. Rev. W. AIcAfee delivered a clear ami loreiblo sermon. His text was. "Jesutr said unto them , 'Follow Ale and 1 will make you fishers of men. ' " Ho spoke of the authority with which Christ spoke Then the call was a personal ono. It was a command not to live in accordance anco with some code of moral ethics , bu ! to follow a living leader. The commnni was to follow a Christ-like life. "Hi Lhat hath not the Son hath not life.1 An obedience to the command domanilei' sacrifice. Tlio iisl.ermcn had to lea\e their nets. Tno yospel of love was tin fruit of sacrifice , ami demanded sucn fico. No good thing was to bo obtainei. except hy sacrilice. The call for sacri fice was'however , to bi'ing men into : . higher ministry. If the nets had to IK left , it was that they might become fish ers of men , a nobler sphere of useful ness. Cicero said that men became most like gods when doing good to thoii fellows. Human philanthropy , noble : i' it was , could not compare with the mission of winning souls. To save a soul was greater than to conquci a world. Christ also provides for the lit- ness of these called to this noble minis try. "I will make you fishers of men. " He would supply the deficiencies. If these who were tryinp to follow Christ were not soul winners , it was because ot a lack of consecration. This call caini to everyone. Rev. E. E. Smith , of Clarinda , then d-- livered the charge to the pastor. It wi-s excellent , and despite the solemnity rf the duty , it was bright and not without a tinge of sprightlini'ss. Ho urged tin- now pastor to "Preach thn Word.1' Christ was the beginning and tlio end of the word. Besides this trust , there wa - the trust of caring for the flock of which ho was tlio shepherd. Ilia personal life must bo an example , yet ho need not be gloomy. Life was not all tragedy , nor was it a furcc. Ho should realize Un importance of this point in the Hold. He and his church should bo in close rela tionship with the church at largo. Rov. Mr. Cassett delivered the charge to the congregation. Ho said ho did not feel cailod upon to Instruct them as to their duties , but to remind thorn of these , and stir them to greater action. He grouped their duties into three classes , support , encouragement , co-operation. The salary should be paid , and promptly. It was not a charity , but a legal and moral obligation. The people should give moral as- well as financial support. There should be regularity in attending church. The people should not let the pastor do all the work because of his be ing a loader. They should work with him. Bargain sale this week at Harkucss Brothers. Pacific house is the nearest hotel to the majority of real estate offices in the city ; 2 per day.
