NEPHI PROGRESSING.
Her System of Waterworks is Rapidly
Assuming Shape.

Assuming Shape.
Although little has been said lately about
the labors of our energetic city council,
they have been working assiduously one
night each week regularly. Waterworks
and railroad matters have occupied great
deal of their time. We understand they
have an ordinance drawn out and adopted
concerning the granting of right of way
and other details pertaining to the U. N. &
| g. railway.
The waterworks question has been solved
| for some time and much work has been ex-
pended in putting the plan into operation
with success. Supervisor Sutton has at
last got stream of pure water conducted
into Nephi from Marsh springs, and the
council have applications for the putting of
it into private houses by the score. Regu-
lations will have to bemade and ordinances
formed to put them into effect.
A stroll over the system yesterday amply
repaid our reporter for his trouble. The
water is brought from the spring to the
mouth of the canon in four-iuch pipe and
from there down along side of the railroad
IN an eight-inch pipe to Evans corner, four
blocks east of Main street. At this point
six-inch cross mains are laid four blocks
south, one west and again one south, also
one block north from Evans corner, west
Dlpch, UUeuCe uOFln W bHS Dig HOliOW,
| It will be brought at once down Railroad
street and Mill street in four-irch pipes TO
Main street, when other cross mains will
be laid, the necessary public MIGRANTS
placed in and the job will be completed.
of course there will be vast amount Ct
private work done in putting in the SER
vice pipes.
At Evans corner is a spill pouring forth
large stream of water with terrific force
= Iii fhrO.t fhn f,.nra
and goes from there ripping to the ditch
its ever happy murmur seems to speak in
plain words, Nephi's redemption is here.
1t is sight to make the heart of every
Nephite glad and proud to see large
stream of pure, sparkling water run ding
in our bitches. When the houses are sup
piled with water, which will be soon, then
we will see Nephi's boom awaken, real
estate begin to change hands more rapidly,
the town grow and everybody happy. Our
city council are to be congratulated on
their success.-EnSiDn.

CURE FOR INFLUENZA.
Sir Oscar Jennings, an English Physician,
Prescribes Quinine and Antipyrine.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Cable.
PARIS, Dec. 2S.-The eminent English
physician, Sir Oscar Jennings. who is now
in the city studying the epidemic of infiu-
enza which is affecting Paris, has been
interviewed as to the result of his observa-
tions. He describes influenza as kind of
bastard pulmonary rheumatism which is
probably caused by microbe in the atmos-
phere. He says that the disease is infec-
tious and not Contagious. 1t cannot, he
says, be conveyed by means of the breath
of an infected person to any one else. To
cure the complaint, DR.. Jennings recon-
mends small and frequent doses of quinine
and antipyrine to be administered. Quinine
kills the microbe and antipyrine allays the
pain which accompanies the disease.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Charles r. Flint
has received from his correspondent in
Brazil, who is one of the leading Republi-

Brazil has very much pleased with the sup
