How Congressman Niece Helped Grant
Through.


General Grant probably owes the final and
legal accomplishment of the act by which he is
placed on the retired list to the manly good will
and desire for fair play exhibited by one who
during the civil war was denounced as q cop
perhead. Representative Neece, Of Illinois, is
the man referred to. He is chairman of the
committee on enrolled bills To this commit
tee is entrusted the work of making and veri-
flying the copies OF acts which are signed, and
thereby become law. He voted against the re-
tirement bill all through. But be also saw
clearly that 1t would pass, and knew, that in
the closing hours there was great danger of n on
enrolment. SO he caused two copies to be
made, and the very moment ii became evident
that the measure would pass Mr.. Neece got Mr..
Carlfsle's signature, carried that over to the
senate, had MI: Edmunds autograph put on,
and then went to the President and procured
his signature. He then went back TO the House
and himself voted against the bill. At the
very moment after that the House clerk stood
at the door Of the Senate chamber and an
nounced concurrence with the measure, the
President sent In his message nominating Gen.
eral Grant. Mr.. Neece's manly forethought
saved TO the old hero the honor intended, while
the Congfessman's vote saved his own consist
ency. As Scotchman might say: '"Twas very
nece Of him."

THE WATER WORKS.
A Recent Discovery OF Value to
ALL.

To-mOrrOT evening the board of trade
and citizens committees and the city eOun-

perity of tie city in the best possible con.
dillon and making it adequate TO supply
the full demands of the eatire population

In this connection it may not be inap-
prOpriaie to cali attention to a late and
WONDERFUL DISCOVERY,
which though mere accident, ought new
erthe!ess to 20 far toward settling sIlisfsc-
torily AID p rmaneatiy the question as to
the possibility of getting sn sdeqUate sup

p. ses.
Last Monday the Missouri Pacific Rail-
read company decided to make use of an
old sbaUdoned well just norh of the K. &
L. Shops. Tor the purpose OF supplying the
employees with drinking water, and 10 this
end endeavOIed to pump il out. Two
inch suction pipes were inserted In the
well, and the pumping process began wi h
the sid of cam power. Ever since il has
continued day and night until yesterday
evening, when il was found the well still
contained 10 fee; of clear, fresh cold water,
and the conclusion was reached that a con-
stsnt Sowing four inch stream was insult
Gent to exhaust the we'll.
Those who have visited the pl zee say
the water is clear and cold, and OF the very
best quality. 1t would be well for the com
mittee to examine into the matter before
their meeting tomorrow and see ii it will
not help them TO a solution.

We had r1Iu in perhaps half a mile when

proved. Imagine if You can a lake quarter
Of d mile across, the entire surface III a CON
tinual ripple from the presence of large
pompinoes and other fishes. As the boat
pushed along We suddenly found ourselves
ia the center Of the school, and thinking that
they were attacked perhaps the fish began to
leave the water in every direction. The
deck of our craft forward was sixteen feet
wide and the first one cleared it like bird
struck the water some feet beyond and
rushed OF twenty feet more or SO, ricochett-
ing on the surface as if it was stone thrown
from the hand In moment another came
and then another, until the air seemed full
Of flying pOmpinoes. Some went completely
across the yacht clearing twenty feet and
rising ten; others hit the sail and fell upon
the deck, and, in fact, we were bombarled
BY the fish. They came whistling through
the air Is if they were shot out of gun, SO
that the men lay fiat on the deck under the
buiwarks to avoid them This was kept up
tor some time AM until We ran beyond the
school. Upon the deck were fish enough to
las u for a week
