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.
