WyAndotte, Kansas,
The water company IS pushing its work rs
rapidly As is practicable under the circum-
stances. The old foundation of the water
tower is being removed and the excavation is
being made for the new one. which, MS we
stated last week, will be q little southwest of
the old one in order to give room for guys to
be placed altogether on the company's pres
emit property. The company proposes to
pump the water directly from the river,
above the drainage of the city, into two
large settling reservoirs, eXcavated in the
earth. and holding about one million gallons
each. These reservoirs to be each about 100
feet square, and separate, SO that one can be
filled while the other is being emptled. The
large capacity giving the opportunity for
thorough settling of the water before 1t is
used. In order to effect q great saving to the
company 1t proposes to ask of the city, in
stead of the general and Inspecific concessions
contemplated by the ordinance recently sub.
mitted, the cession of II by 40 feet of Bounda.
~ street. and Is by $50 feet OF Water street.
The parts of streets asked for are In inaccessi.
BILE hollows, where they cannot no be used,
and most probably never will be. And If
those streets should ever come into use the
entertainments that the water company pro-
poses to erect will furnish hundreds of dol.
lars worth of grading toward the object.
The Intelligencer is not prepared to pass upon
the character of reservoirs that the company
now proposes, but If they are deemed to be
good for the purpose, then we should think i,
would be only fair under all the circum-
stances. If it may be legally done, and VIC
think it can. to give to the company the use
Of the property which they need Il 4, use.
less to the city, but would be of great ben.
eft to the company.

cruelties, and taking him to town placed him
in the calaboose. About dark a large number
of men took him from Jail and applied nine
ty-nine lashes on his naked back with q
horsewhip till the blood ran to his heels. he
was here to-day to enter complaint to Prose-
cutting Attorney Cooney." We are mistaken
in Saline county If the jury's verdict does not
turn out to be, served him right.
Some OF the boys put up q rare old job on
Mr.. Ed. Zailer. Monday night. They made q
negro dummy, as natural IS life, and twice as
ugly, and hung the efigy by the neck in Mr..
Zeiler's shop. When he came to work In the
morning he was first shocked and then indig-
nant. A gentleman who witnessed his vari-
Gus phases of sentimento on beholding the PEN
dent African says, while the hanging didn't
hurt the creature a bit, that Mr.. Teller nearly
kicked the stuffin' out of 1t as he hustled it
out of the shop. Mr.. 10. James In snswe r to
the inquiry Of the Intelligencer "a to wheth-
er the hanging was q case of Jeaicide or muir
der, said that he could not tell, as the whole
affair was enshrouded In about the same de-
gree of mystery as was the Wolf Island case.
He il of the opinion that the same persons
may have perpetrated both outrages. Sew
eral little sensations were caused by the
hanging. A colored girl who was passing the
shop peeped in and seeing the "bloomin'
cupid" hanging there ran off in Mysteries.
Tod when brought to view the creature rau
away terribly a~frighted; and Mr.. Wilson
after the hanging, when the somewhat re.
covered eAigy was only apparently hall
drunk In one Of Green = Gordon's stalls,
took it to be John Simmons, done up in
row. Altogether the black.faced sunere,
afforded q good deal Of sport.

remarked that the Vermont House of
Representatives is the largest legislative
BODY IN proportion to the population rem
resented by it in the world. 1t is thus
nearer to the people than any other, and
it makes the laws which come nearest to
us; over such u body any man may be
proud to preside. In looking over some
old documents in the town clerks Office
of Arlington, he had discovered that
Ethan Allen was the first Vermont speak
err. At least he presided over the first
Council of Safety when it was the only
legislative body in Vermont. He referred
to Grandey, Edmunds, Stewart, Powers
and Others of long series of able
speakers
Major Josiah Circuit, was also called up,
and spoke spiritedly and well. He sug-
gested that it seemed to be the chief bust
ness of the gathering to praise themselves;
but added his share of praise of Vermont
which he asserted was a good State to
emigrate from, only in the sense that Yer
monters carried everywhere the sterling
qualities of their State.
VII The Judic,drV Of Vermont learned,
impartial, just. respected at home and abroad.
Judge Rowell of the Supreme Court re-
ferred to "a time when Judges Williams,
Royce, Phelps, Isaac RedfeId and Cola
mer, constituted u bench which had no
superior anywhere. The Supreme Court
of the United States never comprised at
one time so many jurists of such learning
and ability. The judiciary of Vermont
has always been independent and fearless.

department of the University of Vermont

Responded to appropriately by Capt. l..

a sentiment in honor of our legislators
who have emigrated to other States, was
responded to by Hon. Daniel Needhan of
Boston, State bank examiner of MaSSa-
chusetts, formerly of Hartford, Vt, and
Mr.. Slayton of New Hampshire and one to
the Reunion executive committee brought
up MessrS. Fullerton and Stckney of the
committee. A toast to the ladies-the
best saved till the last-was read, and two
or three gentlemen called on in succession
to respond but the hour was late, the
speakers held back, and at the suggestion
of Gen. Grout the sentiment was received
with silent enthusiasm" The Sherman
orchestra, which had interSDersed the eX-
ercises with most acceptable music gave Il
closing piece, and the assemblage broke
up little after midnight
Next morning the guests scattered to
their homes, and the first general legiSla-

An Ingersollian Melodrama.

Col. Ingersoll is witty, and there is moth
ing like spice of wickedness to add flavor
to joke. He is eloquent after a fashion,
and more than all he is a profound stu
dent of human sentiment, not the highest
order of it, but that which belongs to a
crowd, and the taste of crowd is always
below that of an individual. He is a
melo-drama constructed on the most ap
proved principles. There are plenty of
chestnuts, but the variety of burr in which
he presents them has not yet grown en-
tirely familiar. The plot is always
about as follows The curtain rises
and the hero and heroine who are
the human race, are presented in eloquent
lines which describe them as pretty
comfortably situated. They are In a beau
tiful location and are very good of course
They would be happy but for the tyran-
nical parent whose WickedneSS consists in
the horrible things which some other peo-
pie have done under the mistaken impress
sion that he wanted them to. They are
hesitating as to whether they shall do the
same as the others, or not. The courage
of the hero in refusing to do these horrl-
bic things is depicted, for an audience al
ways applaudS courage. The child which
has got to be almost essential in melo-
dramas, appears, and the hearts of the hear
ers are wrung by stories of babes offered
up at the supposed command of the villain
i'll this comprehensive play Then there
are illusions sure to stir up enthusiasm.
The late lamented Shakespeare is dragged
i'll. \ local alluslOn, SO to speak, III the
form of a reference to Gen. Grant Is also
used with effect. Then there is Il variety
of comedy incident, consisting in amusing
stories, all tending to throw great dis
credit on the character and intelligence OF
the wicked parent. Then follows beautiful
description of what the hero and heroine
might do and be We're it not for the
fact that they feel constrained to follow
III the footsteps OF the most foolish OF
their predecessors. There are several acts
Of misery growing out of this complica-
ton, enlivened by considerable comedy
business. Suddenly science, the good
angel of the piece appears in the midst OF
the evil work of the wicked parent He
eXcIaims you haven't any father and
never had any" Instant acceptance of this
remarkable proposition, and curtain after
glowing picture of future bliss under
such conditions of freedom.

Be Warned

In time. Kidney diseases may be prevented
by purifying, renewing, and invigorating
the blood with Ayers Sarsaparilla. When,
through debility, the action of the kidneys
Is perverted, these organs rob the blood Of
its needed constituent, abumen, which is
passed off in the urine, while worn out
matter, which they should carry off from
the blood, is allowed to remain. BY the
use of Ayers Sarsaparlla, the kidneys
are restored to proper action, and Albu-

gifted, kindly, witty and eloquent Dow
Bradley of Brattleboro and his facetious
friend from Barnard, who had just de
lighted us with speech and song. He re
peated Mr.. Cheney's famous brief speech
on the protracted election of II chaplain :
"Mr. Speaker, what various hindrances
we meet in coming to the Mercy seat ~
and his vndcatlon of Barnard as so
healthy that they had to borrow corpse
to start grave yard. Those were the
palmy days of the Vermont Legislature
marked by eloquence, wit, humor and
honesty in a degree not easily paralleled.
With Mr.. Stewards response, which
was cordially applauded, the meeting
closed.
The Fireworks.
The large and brilliant display of fire
works from the Union school grounds,
brought the day to successful close. Ten
mammoth devices were set Off among
them being peacock's tail, the seven stars

Wednesday Evenings Gathering of the
Legislators.
Wednesday evening was devoted to
"reminiscences. The great hall was again
filed with members and citizens of both
sexes. The bands furnished instrumental
music Judge Thompson presided, and
called first upon Hon. Charles II. Heath
of Montpelier who mentioned, as an in
stance of the effect of Vermont on the
legislation of other States, that the IA
nous Woodchuck bill, which was the
speciality of Mr.. Bull of Hancock, in 1869,
had finally become law IN New Hamp-
shire, with the result of drawing num-
Der of thousand dollars from the treasury
of that State, in bounties on woodchuck
skins imported from Vermont.
Hon +. p. Walton was next called up.
Mr.. Walton said he remembered every
Legislature since 1923, but would not I'M
dertake to describe them or any of them,
in the five minutes to which speakers
were limited on this occasion. He alluded
to the late Lewis Higbee of st. George,
and to his championship of that town as
being as large up and down as Burlington
or Rutland or St. Adams. In lieu of
further "reminiscences Mr. Walton read
the famous "Lamentation over the adj
iournment of the Legislature of 1926"
attributed to the pen of Hon. William G.
Bradley, which introduces in punning
rhymes the names of fifty or sixty of the
legislators of that session.
