Water Stopped at the Harper House

Water Stopped at the Harper House.
In great hotel, like the Harper House,
where the cooking and washing is done by
steam; where the house is warmed by
steam and also the stores, billiard saloon
and BARRIERS shop; where bath rooms and
water closets, and wash rooms are also
warmed by steam and supplied with hot
and cold water, the consumption of water
is large aud want of it causes great dam
age. Last evening at about o'clock the
supply stopped and there was then in the
tank only enough to run the house perhaps
two hours. Drays were procured and water
hauled from the river. This is an expcn-
sive job, as it requires three drays con-
stantly in order to to supply the house.
Six men are at work to-day digging up
the service pipe which runs from the east
side of the house to the sewer,it being fro
zen at that point. The Illinois street main
is tapped where it crosses the sewer and
the pipe runs up the sewer to a point op-
posite the boiler room and is then taken
across the street and sidewalk into the Gel
lar, and there is where it is frozen. II
ought to have been placed 2 feet lower in
the passage from the sewer to the cellar of
the house.

There is a good deal Of excitement
among the distillers and large dealers in
whisky in relation to the proposed increase
of 80 conts gallon tax upon it. The tax
is now 70 cents proof gallon, and whisky
has already increased some ten cents a
gallon in expectation of this tax. Distil-
leries are running night and day, and peo-
pie who have whisky 10 bond are paying
the tax, as no additional tax can be collec-
ted on all that is made and the tax paid
before the proposed law takes effect. The
addition of 80 cents will put a pile of mon
cy in the pockets Of distillers and dealers
who have large stocks on hand, without
giving the government any revenue. The
whisky ring urging the increased tax will
make money out of it, unless it costs them
too much to get the law passed and signed
A report of the proposed law will be found
in our telegraph columns.
