City Council ii iiiltlie\Vttlrr Coiiiiziny
15 , Settle n Iliiiitcti I'olzit.
For several weeks there has been a quiet
fight between several members of the city
council and the water company. The city
Is largely In debt to the company. Tile aT-
rearage is now nearly $40,000 and the reduced -
duced assecement thia year will not yield
anywhere near enough money to pay the current -
rent year's b.ll. . The aldermen , or some of
thorn , think that vlth the certainty of this
deficlency growing each year until the expiration -
ration of the contract ten years hence , tile
council should do something to cut down the
annual rental rate. The water company will
not rellnguish its contract voluntarily. and
the aldermen have concluded that a good
thing to (10 would be to hold the company
to the faithful performance of all the condi-
tons of Its contract with the city. It was
arranged yesterday that one of these con-
dltions was to be inquired Into. The contract
calls for a fire pre.&ure capable of throwing
aix full size streams simultaneously in the
bus1nss part of the city to a height of 100
feet and two streams in the residence portions -
tions to the same height. The tot was to
have been made yesterday , but at the last
moment the company notified the committee
of the counal and the fire department , under
Wll060 supervision the test was to have been
made , that it was not ready for the trial.
The test i1l probably be made today. But
there ! an important difference of opinion
concerning the test. The company's charter
and the contract with the city require the
company to provide mains of sufficIent capacity -
city and pressure great enough to 'tiirow six
streams simultaneously in the business per-
tlon of the city to a height of 100 feet and
two streatne in the residence portion to the
height of 100 feet. ' Th ! is what the char-
4cr says , and the aldermen put one meaning
upon it and the company another. To the
aldermen it means that eight etreams shall
b thrown simultaneously to a height of 100
feet , siz In the busneea portion. whqro the
large ona'ns are located. and two in the rest-
denco districts , where the smaller pipes are
laid. To the water company it plainly roads
that it is required to throw six streams
in the business part of the town at one time
to the required height , and then take any
two hydrants desired In the eutlying district
and give a pressure that wIll accomplish the
same result. Until this point is settled the
teat will not be made. It would be much
easier to throw six streams than eght , and
extremely dtfflcult to throw a x streams from
hydrants located near the princpa mains
and two others from hydranta on stub ends
miles away.
Th& intention of some of the members of
the council Is to demand a reduction from
the water companys bills , if the company
Cannot give the required test.
District Court Ceilings.
The estate of Meivlna Harding baa been
in the courts in the process of settlement for
a number of years. Judge Smith yesterday
made an order for a. complete transcript and
reaord In the case and will cloe it up at
the present term of court.
In the CaFe of C. C. Leonard against John
Pitman. a partition suit In which the
Leonard estate Is involved , the referee's re-
l'ort was made ycaterday and Judge Smith
ordered the dtstributior of the praperty.
Fremont Benjamin flied his final report as
administrator of the estate of F. Sleke. The
report shows that Mrs. Margaret Sleke , the
mother of tile deceased , was sole heir and
received $60. The lawyer got $100 and $50
went for stenographer's fees. Mrs. Sleko
flied her acceptance of the amount and the
report was received by the court on her written -
ten expression of satisfaction with the man-
nec in which the small estate had been
divided.
The opplicatlan for the appointment of a I
guardian for Chrlstcna Hansen , over which I
there has been seine litigation , was settled
by a compromise. Lare Jensen resigned as
administrator and A. Horn wxw appointed In i
his stead. _ _ _ _ _ _

roud oX the tact that ho has broken the tee-
ord. The best previous year was when Ed
Bates held the 0111cc , but the entire yearly
issue was only 313 , There are about 2,000
unlirensed dogs in the city and Dadsen is'
determIned to compel theIr ooners to pay the

formations against all owners who have neg-
looted to pay the tax. This 1il cause less
trouble and cause less suffering among the

$4,000 from women in the city. Then he
went to Chicago , where he was located a few
weeks ago and brought here despite habeas

here and arrested him. Before they could
get him away he secured habeas corpus

The decline which has beefi going on In the
local divorce businoas here stnce the lengthening -
ening of the term of residehch three years
ago lisa been checked and within the past
few weeks the eastern colony has been growing -
ing rapidly. Almost every tran is bringing
in at least one mistied unfortunate and the
hotels and boarding houses are rapidly dli-
tag up. Within the past week several par-
tioa of wealthy New Yorkers have come
and have established themselves rumptuously
with servants and "friends. " Under the law
as now construed it takes only six menthe
to obtain a decree after the residence is
begun , though the statute was intended to
make tue time at least three months longer.
In fact , the time required ie only about a
monthi longer than under the old statute.
This fact has become pretty generally knosn
and accounts In SOflIC measure for tile in-
flux. Then the new federal law requiring
a residence of one year in all the tern-
tories 115.5 shut out the divorce seekers from
OkIahiolna and the great number of dvorces
granted there and afterward declared defect-
lye have frgtitened applicants. South Dakota
now promises releases for wounded hearts on
as short notice as any other state except
North Dakota , and it requires only one
month longer than in that favored iiace.
Besides thia Sioux Falls has ninny attractions -
tions not possessed by the northern cities.
