ST. LOUIS, Mo, April 29.-The
recent proclamation Of Gov. oglesby
OF Illinois Quarsntining against cattle
from Missouri has created quite com.
motion in the various parts OF the
state and strong condemnation OF
opposition TO II Is cropping out In ali
directions. Gov. MArmaduke has

to reconsider his action Ia declaring 8

the cover of this crib and
left IL exposed TO the
freaks Of the current. In this condi-
ton IL remained until few days ago,
without the knowledge OF the manage
ment, the old engineer having left the
service Of the company. AS may be
supposed the crib quickly filled up
with mud, gravel and drift of every
character, and in this state it now re-
mains, completely stopping up the
mouth of the pipe.
THE DISCOVERY.
The question has probably been
asked several thousand times in the
last ten days "why was not this condi.
ton OF affairs fereseen and prevented?"
THE GAZETTE Is no apologist for the
water-works management. With
the public 1t is unable to say
whether the complications could
have been anticipated. The
explanation offered by the manage
ment Is that they had no means OF
knowing that anything was wrong
until the pump refused to work, and
the troubles had developed. They
state that the only intimation given
OF the stoppage of the pipes was that a
few days previous to the time Of the
cut of the engine occasionally iran
away with herself showing that she
was not pumping sufficient water.
FRUITLEss REMEDIES.
The complications were fully dis.
covered last Sunday week and
men Immediately placed al
work to remove them, when
about noon the river Suddenly
rose and forced them to retreat, after
having just removed the cover of tn,
main crib. Since,then the river ha'
been constantly booming, making tn,
removal of the distractions an uttel
impossibility until its fall. In orde
to give temporary relief to the waite
famine, the eight.inch suction pipe wa
placed down, which occasioned tn
fatal catastrophe on the 2lst of tn
month. There was not sufficien
eight-inch pipe on hand to reach tn
crib, and 1t was pieced with four SINAI
pipes of an equal area, as follows;

notwithstanding the threatening
aspect OF the weather last night, the
tabernacle was literally thronged and
much OF the standing room on the
outside was taken before the hour for
service arrived. Among the congre-
cation was large number from the
country, who seem to be as deeply In

A NEW MAKE-sHIFT.
Finding their efforts in the direction
of securing water from the cribs en-
tirely fruitless the management
adopted new tactics, endeavoring to
make the mountain come TO Mahomet
instead of obliging Mahomet to go to
the mountain. The trench between
the pump and the river was opened
and the small pipe broken in two with
sledge hammer. A small crib was
erected at the end, and from this
source the city is now deriving the in
fantile supply of water, which is
chiefly valuable to consumers as the
"substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen"
INTERNAL DIFFICULTIES.
Thus far the only troubles arising
from deficiency in the water supply
have been treated. There have been
other minor difficulties which, though
insignificant in fact, have been greatly
exaggerated. Rumors have been fly.
ing about that the engine was in bad
condition, some going so far as To hint
that it was in state Of irretrievable
ruin and that negotiations were al
ready in progress upon the part of the
city authorities for the purchase of
new one. So far as THE GAZETTE can
learn there is absolutely no foundation
whatever for these reports except that
some minor pieces of the
engine have been worn by sand and
need replacing, which can be done at
trifiing cost. Such repairs as are
needed are inevitable incidents to the
operation OF system of water-works.
The plunger in the WorthinRton
pump, having worn out, wac replaced
a day or two ago with another, and
the additional repairs needed, we are
assured by the superintendent, can
be placed In position in two hours.
INTHE MAINS.
Much comment has been excited
over the report that the water mains
on the principal streets are half filled
with mud. II seems to have originated
at the time the elevator of Mr.. Joseph
III. Brown was put down, when, 80 II
is stated, the discovery was made that
the pipe contained six inches OF mud.
THE GAZETTE reporter frat inter
viewed Mayor Smith on this subject,
and, while doubling the accuracy OF
the report, he stated that II it were
true the pipes could easily DE husueo
and cleaned. The superintendent ofthe
works also said that the mud In the
pipes could be flushed out in few
minutes II they had plenty Of water
he WAS inclined to think the pipe IN
question which led TO the report
was not fair guide and prob,
ably was the depository for an unusuel
quantity of segments. The PROPOSE
ton Is made, however, by a certain
gentleman member OF the council
10 undertake the expense OF digging
no and investigating the mains, If any
other party will agree 10 bear the ex
pense, provided an average depth o
five inches OF mud is found Sc
creted in them. Even shoulc his theo

run away when observed. They would
come down off the rocks for the pears.
They would take hold of the fruit gin
gerly with their long teeth, rolling up
their lips to escape the spines. Darwin
would have said that the long teeth were
cultivated by natural selection for this
very purpose. After pulling off the pear
they carefully roll it in the earth with
their feet to wear of the spines. Often
they would get the prickles in their
hands, and then it was amusing to sec
them set up like human beings and pick
the spines out of each others handsr
Just before morning they would go into
the cornfieds to steal corn. They would
pluck all the ears they could carry in
their arms and hasten to some deep ra-
vine. Here they would husl the corn
and eat the cobs clean of kernels. If
discovered they quickly dropped their
booty, rolled over into the ravine, and
disappeared.

Origin of Mosquitoes.

The Indians have very satisfactory
account Of the origin of the mosquitoes.
The legend runs thus There were in
times of old, many moons ago, two
huge feathered monsters permitted by
the manitou TO descend from the sky and
alight on the banks of thc Seneca river.
Their folm was that of the mosquito.
They were so large that they flew toward
the earth. Standing on either bank they
guarded the river, and, stretching their
long nccks into the canoes of the In
dians as they attempted to paddle along
the stream, gobbled them up as the
stork king in the fable gobbled up the
frogs. The destruction of life was so
great that not an Indian could pass
without being devoured in the attempt.
1t was long before the monsters could be
cXterminated, and then only by the com
bincd efforts Of all the Cayuga and On
ondaga nations. The battle was terrible,
but the warriors finally triumphed, and
the mammoth mosquitoes were slain and
left unburied. For this neglect the In
dians had to pay dearly. The carcasscs
decomposed, and the particles, vivifed
by the sun. flew of in clouds of mosQui-
toes, which have filled the country ever
since.
