he was pounded hard for live hit
and as many run-. Cp to this tiinc

curves pretty steadily and had se-
cured nine runs
In the fourth inning Dowd, the
pride of the faculty was .substituted
for Curtis but lie had not practiced
enough and could not find the plate
Bases on balls, hit-, errors and a lit
tie ginger on the part of the senors,
combined, secured six more runs in
the next three innings In the sixth

inning the faculty by good In adwork
succeeded in getting one more tal-
ly and tiu'y had a chance to tie the
score in the seventh. Sawtell, with

THE DAYLIGHT STORE.
Norman s Greatest Store.
A short session of the city council
was held Wednesday night complct
ing some matters not finished at la-t
Tuesday night's meeting. At meet-
ing it developed that Norman had
no police judge by reason of Judge
Hartley having failed to file Ins elec-
tion expense account within the time
prescribed by law. A committee was
appointed to investigate and report
oil this important matter. An order
was also made to have notice served
on all of the property owners in
blocks 5, 6, 13, 14, f)0 and 67 to at-
'Itach to the sewer lines at once or
the ordinance would be enforced
I nder the sewer ordinance now in
force the city will perhaps meet with
some difficulty in enforcing it. The
ordinance as it now stands is calu
latcd to keep the people from con-
necting with the sewer. Make tile
conditions such as to induce the peo-
ple to attach both to the water i
sewer lines and the people v ill has-
ten to attach. In our judgment 11. -
would be the better policy and a
much more successful one than the
attempt to force methods. Before the
sewer system was ever put in the
city council should have provided all
of the ways and means and rules for
governing the system. Nothing tan-
gible along this line has ever been
done, and the present city council
instead of grasping for straws,
should settle down and perfect ,i
plan to manage the system, one that
would be just and right to the city
and property owners and with such
a plan outlined the people will at-
tach to both systems rapulh \s u,
have maintained, the tax for the
maintenance for ill. sewer s\ -tcm
should be against the property abut-
ting on the sewer lines and no charge
made for the use of the sewer. All
of the people ill the city are inter- j
ested in having the peoph use tlu
sewer lines. For this purpose did j
the people vote the sewer bonil-.notj
for the purpose of getting an op 1
portunity to compel some one to at-
tach
The city attorney holds that the
I city has a right to issue warrants up
to the full amount of the levy not-
withstanding the provision in the
i state constitution which provides in
effect that each year must provide j
for the liquidation of all indebted-
ness incurred during the year. In
; other words that the 80 per cent plac-
ed on levies by the law doe - not ap-
ply. In this we think city attorney
is in error. Tile city council in in
dulging in much talk. This i- a hope
