A Water Organ.

A rumor is becoming current that a
newspaper is to be found that will
openly defend the water-works. Some
have 1t that an old-time newspaper man
will start weekly for that purpose, and
make things warm for the LIGHT and

the Breckenridge water monopoly, while
Others declare that a weekly paper al
ready In existence will take up the club
for the much-abused Water-works Com
pany. The monopoly certainly needs
defense, II any one can be found intrepid
enough to undertake 1t.

Fun on the East Side.

Among the most popular batchel-
Ors who have in the past enlivened
society In the neighborhood known
as Scheuer's Precinct is Tom O'Rav.
A f1utter Of excitement was created
last Sunday evening by a rumor that
Tom had carried off q matrimonial
prize, one of the most facinating of
the nejghborhood bellies, but the sud-

city and Toms demure denial of the
soft Impeachment threw some doubt
upon the subject. Notwithstanding,

down his vest with the most conf
placent air as he quietly admitted he
had entered the benedictine Tanks on
Monday. However, Justice Nichols

derence of evidence seemed to point
conclusively to the guilt of the Gull
prits. The slogan was sounded and

the good things before them in the
shape of eatables and drinkables that
could be supplied by that famous re-
pository. Tom now says he don't

with whom the heartfelt sympathy
of an entire community abides.-
