J. w Board paid $50 for violating the L.
ouor ordinance.
Michael ODonnell, who had been very
drunk the day before, was fined s. for the
offense. He had not so much money, and
was committed.
Richard Roe was also drunk,

save himself from remaining in the cooler.
This was the same party who had snatched
the 81 bill from the hand of a boy at the cor

this OffeEse by handing over to the officer
the money, and the young man was made

The stockholders OF the Wichita Water
company on yesterday closed the sale OF
their entire plant and franchise to the Amer
lean Water Works and Guarantee company

which nov owns and operates water works
IN nineteen CT les, and is purchasing and
constructing work at the rate of two or three
per month, is backed by millions OF capital
and have their business the most thoroughly
systematized Of any institution in the coun-
try. Weekly reports are sent TO the parent
Office from all their works showing the num-
Der OF gallons furnished, number Of pounds
of coal consumed number OF new consumers,
with increase or decrease of revenues, and
every detail ia exact figures They give no
bond but make all improvements with their
own capital
They viii immediately proceed to over
haul and reconstruct the entire plant OF this
city and bring it to the front as the model
works Of the state-a system worthy of the
foremost city of Kansas.
The National Tube Works, being large
stockholders of this company, furnish
all their pipe without delay. As quick as
the weather VIII permit in the early spring
they viii begin the laying OF iron mains and
will make all extensions oedered by the city
without delay.
A new engine and pump house, new pump
ing machinery, the covering OF the wells, the

are among the improvements that will be be-
gun within ten days.
MIR W s. Kuhn, the secretary of the
American Water Works company, and who
acted as that company's agent in purchasing
the Wichita Water Works plant, called last
evening in company with Colonel Lewis. Mr.
K. says that the first thing he did was to
order four miles of additional iron
mains and that early in the spring
heavier pumps and machinery would
replace the present plant In fact
the whole city viii be torn up AMI the
system 50 arranged that the supply Will so
through the city by two directions, so that if
an accident should occur on one set Of mains
the io.T could be Immediately sent through
by the other direction.
As The EAGLE has maintained, the old
company, being composed Of business men
who had other matters to lock after, were
more or less embarrassed, but had fully met
its obligat ons- and the extraordinary Ge-
mands made upon them. But, OF course, the
new service and new plant will be metropoI-
itan in their proportions. That Wichita viii
now and speedily have the best and most ef-
fective system of water works of any city in
the state, there can be no doubt
