A Death Dealing Destroyer.

There was an air OF grim desperation
about him as he stalked into the res
taurant and sat down at q table. The
bar.keeper regarded him suspiciously
and waited for an order, but none came.
The man who sweeps out the establish
ment for his morning cocktail crept into
his corner and busted the hinges of the
door assiduously, while the customers
without money who were waiting for the
customers with money laid their heads
more closely together and unanimously
agreed that the drought would ruin the
crops.
.'Why did,I kin those two unfortunate
strangers?' demanded the desperate
man, bringing his fist down on the table
and glaring around fiercely.' - 5'.

and they edged up toward the wall. The
honest artisan rubbed the hinge with his
sleeve and glanced toward the bar-keep-

eye while he searched around for the
bung-starter with the ether. ar
"They may have had families de-
pendent upon them!" continued the
ruffian, ! gloom ofremorse stealing over
his visage, ''and the other three that l

Future Plans.

The Water Company and Coming Tisnes'
 Mir. Dawson, of the water company, says, in reference to tLe plans of tha company for the future, in case tho works do not become city property, Something must be done at once to provide for an adequate supply. In either case, whichever the case goes, there must be good deal done at once. If the city does not buy, the company's policy is to develop the resources of Lake Saltonstall forthwith There is at the lake m unfailing supply of water of the best quality, and head of 175 feet above tide water can be had, which will be better than the average in most cities and a better head than we now have. We shall lay main into the city of not less than twenty four inch pipe. The probabil- ity is that reservoir will be made by exca- vating on top of the hill on this side of the lake, and the water would be pumped by 8 steam engine. We should have & pumping apparatus of the best kind for the purpose With Saltonstall lake in use, @ supply inde- pendent from Lake Whitney or the other sources of the company could be had. Lake Whitney water at times has fishy flavor. With Saltonstall water on draught, Lake Whitney could be shut of till the water re- turned to US nOrmal udVOr, duO Guo SuPpAJ needed could come from Saltonstall It ap- pears that while the water of nearly all cities is subject during the spring months to this disadvantage of taste, the water of Lake Sal
 tonstan would not be so affected at the same time if at all, with that of Lake Whitney. The water from the two sources would not be affected at the same time. There ought not to be an hours delay in making this inn provement. Our engineers ought to be out and at work by the 10th, the very next day after the matter is settled whether the city is to buy or not There will be good deal of work to do in making the excavation, and the cost of the whole will be perhaps quarter of million dollars. If it remains for the city to do, it may cost half million or more. We should have had our engineers at work last spring had it not been for the agitation on the question of purchase by the city. We ought not to go through another summer depending upon our present resources. It is not safe. Many water companies in this part of the country have been short the past season, and we shall be caught in the same way. Therefore, it is desirable that we should know at the earliest possible moment whether we are to go ahead and do the work or whether the city will do it.''
