Old Mrs. Mulkittle was delighted to

Gently owing his depostors several

that many persons are looking for the

THE WATER CoMPASN's PRESENT

The question of water supply is
assuming serious aspect for house
holders beyond the reach of the Water
Company's mains. Heretofore water
has been obtained from wells or from
X. r. Rounds, who got his supply from
Wood River. But, as is usually the
case in settled communities, the we'll
water is becoming SO impregnated
with impurities that it is already UNI
wholesome, and before many months
will be positively unhealthy; while
the river water is so mixed with sedi-
ment and muddy as to be unfit for
use. The Water Company's mains
a'e therefore the only available means
of supply. But these only extend
along Bullion street to River, and
along Main from Croy to Galena. A
month will be required to extend
them along River street, First avenue,
and north and south on Main street.
In this contingency, it is the mani
fest duty, as we'll as policy, of the
Water Company, to provide tempo
rary means to supply outlying houses.
How this can best be done, is for the
managers Of the company to say.
Whether by selling water to Mr..
Rounds, by employing team for the
distribution of water, or by opening
the street corner MIGRANTS, we cannot
determine. But that something must
be done, and that speedily, there can
be no doubt, as If matters are allowed
to remain in statu quo an epidemic
may break out, that will devastate all
the Wood River towns.
The TIMES does not wish to cause
unnecessary alarm; it is onl y doing
its duty to the public in pointing out
a public danger, in the endeavor tc
have means adopted to ward it off.

ANOTHER VICTIM TO MANS TY.
RAINY.

A woman in San Jose, Cal, refuses
to testify in case in which she is
called as a witness, giving as reason
that as she is refused the rights Of cit
izenship she will assume none of its
duties.
She languishcs in the bastile until
she shall conclude to meet the de-
mands of laws made by tyrannical
man for the subjugation of this gentle
creature and her sisters in affection.
She is visited by dozens of downtrod-
den females, congratulating her on
her martyrdom in the 'caws"; con-
juring her to be firm in the faith and
yield not to the behests Of laws, in the
making of which she is ANONYMOUSLY
refused any participation. With sh:ill
cries of "Allah is Allah and Susan b.
is his prophet" they wave their ruff
fed banners in the Jail at San Jose
Ito the great delight of the trusties),
and supply her with vino jelly and
things dear to the feminine soul, while
her husband, if she is so unfortunate
as to be thus encountered, wipes little
Tommy's nose and sends him to school
with cold hapjack in his lunch bas.
ket, and then takes breakfast at a chop
house, thanking God that there are
cooks among the sterner sex. The
ovation to this much abused woman
is equaled only by those which these
dear creatures extend to wife muir
derers, children butchers and other
sufferers.
When, O when, shall these tender
creatures get their rights and he per-
mitted by our laws to wear garments
which cannot be put on over their
dear little heads?

VARIOUS POSTAL BILLS.
A DAY ASKED TO CONSIDER THEM
Their Titles, and Brief Explanations
OF the Changes Congress is Asked
to Legislate Upon.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec 5.-The House
Committee on Pest Offices and Post-Roads
to-day decided to ask for day to be set
aside for the consideration of bills reported
from that committee, the bills to be taken
up in the following order, should the House
grant the request: Postal Telegram bill, pro-
viding for the establishment of a contract
system of Postal Telegraph; bill to regulate
mail contract. This is designed to guard
against any repetition of the frauds similar
TO those in the star-route casesl; bill fixing
the rate of postage on first-class mailable
matter. This fixes letter postage at two
cenus per ounce, or fraction thereof in
lieu of present half-ounce ratel; bill
authorizing the Post Master General to make
an allowance for rent on third-class post
offices: bill to regulate the compensation of
railroads for carrying mails. This bill is
based on the report of the commit
tee appointed last winter to
determine the compensation by weight and
space instead of by weight alone, as in the
present system. A bill to provide for the
deposit in the Treasury of receipts of money
order offices for the payment of its expenses
out of appropriations, and to consolidate
money order business with the regular mail
service with a view to decreasing expenses.
The special delivery of letters by messengers
