For Fighting Fiery Flames.

1t is not probable that Pullman's cit
liens will ever again be called upon to
stand idly by and see their property de-
stroyed by fire and he unable to offer
effective assistance. The water-works
system is now in operation, and was
tested for the first time last Thursday
afternoon. The reservoir had been com
pletely filed with water, and hose was
attached to the hydrant at the corner of
Main and Alder streets, and torrent of
water was thrown oyer the Palace hotel
Another hose was attached to the hy-
drant at the corner OF Main and Grand
streets, but the force from the first re-
mained undimlnished. The force from
the reservoir alone is enough to throw
water to any required height in town,
but when the pump is worked a much
greater force is obtained. Mr.. Suther-
land, the contractor, has built the works
with such care that every thing worked
to perfection from the start, and the
good judgement of the council in award
ing him the contract is fully demonstra-
ted.
The mains on all the streets have been
tapped and the business houses and pri-
vate residences are supplied with the
purest of artesian water. In fact good
many Of them have been using the water
for the past four weeks, as Mr.. Suther-
land attached a pipe from the we'll to the
main before the pumps, etc, were ready
to run, and the force from the well was
sufficient to furnish water to all
the people living along Main street
Or on the fiat. The force Of the we'll
raised the water il the mains thirty feet
above the level. Mr. Sutherland
says that Ee has never before put in a
system of water works where the citizens
could begin the use Of the water as soon
as the mains we're laid.
The engine and pumps work smoothly
and finely, and will be in the hands OF
Ed. Barber, who is very competent
enYiueer,

UniOnt0Wn Farmers Meet.

4 meeting of the farmers OF the vicin-
itY of Cotton and Uniontown was held
in the city hall at Uniontown, last Mon
day, and through the kindness of Its
secretary, G. E. Cox, we are abls to give
short outline Of the work proposed to
be done. G. W. Richardson, of Cotton,
presided over the meeting and appointed
several committees. One committee con-
sisting of Messrs. James Dermott, T.
Hooper, J. D. Greer. J. L. Flowers, n.
Jacobs, Sr. and G. E. Cox, was appointed
to confer with the farmers OF the county
as to the most suitable place for gen
cral meeting, and as Pullman is the
choice of a good many it is quite prob
able that this will be the favored place
There is certainly no place in the county
that can be reached by rail easier than
this. Mr.. Cox said that petitions would
be presented to the Northern Pacific
railroad, praying to have the grain moved
from the warehouse and that if that
road did not come to time an attempt
would be made to interest either the
Union Pacific or the Great Northern and
have one or the other build through to
their country. If they fail with all of
the roads then the farmers, with the
assistance of the capitalists who have
offered their aid, will build a road of
their own. A meeting Of the Farmers
Alliance was held in Oaksdale Thursday,
and the members of the Uniontown
meeting will act in conjunction with the
actions taken by that organization. If
the roads now in this country are not
able to handle the grain let US have
another, for many thousands of dollars
have been lost by the wheat grower this
fall by his inability to market his pro-
duce.

A. Reaney contemplates lighting
his addition to the town with a privat,
electric light plant. The power will be
furnished by raising the water from his
artesian well to the .hill-top, and run
ming it from there down to water wheel.
Al. is progressive and will use every
means to make his property popular and
convenient. His artesian we'll will fur
nish him with private system of water
works, and make the addition a city by
itself
The City Restaurant was not left
closed very long, and Monday morning g
was running with W. Gerow and Ralph
Bull as the new proprietors. The
restaurant is needed in the town and the
support it is now receiving should, and
will, be continued and strengthened.
That the meals set by the house are
first class is proven by the many words
of commendation heard from its patron 8
and .he enthusiastic praise given tie
Thanksgiving dinner and dance supper
w. H. Maloney, of Spokane Falls,
was in town last Wednesday to talk with
the citizens concerning the car which is
being fitted up to send through the east
to advertise eastern Washington. A
meeting was held in the city hall, and
Mr. Maloney talked TO the citizens pres
ent for few minites. The meeting was
presided over by Mayor Windus, and
Several appointments Of committees were
made. r. A. Farr was appointed to go
to Spokane to assist in getting the Pull
man display in the car in the proper
shape, and e. ". Downen was appointed
to attend to the correspondence which
will follow after the car is started
These are both good appointments.
The Adams county Times, an ex-
cellent paper published at Ritzville, this
state, contained couple of items last
week which show how Pullman enterprise
is looked upon abroad, Tho items we're
as follows:
The Pullman bonds for water works
were sold to a New York firm at par,
drawing per cent. interest, payable III
fifteen years. Pullman will soon be
city. Why? Because she is enterpris-
ing and her business men are wide awake
and are pushing their advantages to the
front, adding improvements to the town,
water works, electric lights, roller mlll
etc. Who does not like to live in a live
town with rustling men as neighbors
and workers for the towns good rather
than adult unat tractive one?
Pullman is 10 have electric fights in
few weeks, the money is all subscribed,
franchise granted, the posts are being
set and the wire being strung. The
town has less than thousand inhabi-
tants but they are possessed of that
spirit of enterprise that will build town
and equip it with the modern improve
meuts while others that enjoy as favor
able location and equal advantages in
every way will hang fire. We will deed
a town lot to the person who will tell us
what is the matter with Ritzvllle and
prescribe a cure.

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS
LEPRosY in THE NORTHWEST.

An Investigation In Progress In MINI 81 ots
"A Lady's Sensational Assertion.
|. The State Board of Health recently
appointed a committee to search out oil
cases OF leprosy In Minnesota and tc
employ for the purpose noted Swedish
specialist. The boards order leaked
out and created considerable agitation,
which was emphasized by course of
lectures delivered by Miss Flavin, who
has just returned from the Sandwich
Islands and clrims to be leper expert.
She asserts that in Wisconsin, Minne-
sofa and Iowa there are 100 cases of lep-
rosy. This statement, coupled with the
knowledge that the State board was
making an investigation, has created
CONSERVATION in several localities
where leprosy was rumored to have ex-
listed. A public statement is made
by the board that after a careful inves.
tigation 1t learns that there are three
cases Of leprosy in the State and no
more, and that no danger need be appre-
hended. The cases are not located, but
they always exist in populous Scandi-
navian communities where fish has been
a steady diet. One mild Tease was found
on the lower flats at Minneapolis, and
another below tho levee in st. Paul,
but both were removed some time since.
The State board will take control of the
existing cases and prevent dangerous
association without establishing a pub
lie quarantine.

John Williams, the Montana Cattle King,
Pays $1,000 for Some.
John Williams, tho triple millionaire
and cattle king Of Montana, had quite a
time in st. Paul recently. He had left
his big ranch near Great Falls, Mont,
with the intention Of going to his old
home in Liverpool, Eng. Incidentally he
had put 81, 900 in his pocket, packed his
grip, and boarded train for St. Paul.
AS he was making his way up the street
from the Union depot he was accosted
by Emil Constant, hotel-runner, who
promptly took him in tow and soon
landed him in the Manitoba House. It
wasn't long before John and Emil were
fast friends. After the runner had
taken his man out to purchase ticket
to Liverpool he proposed trip around
the town. The Montanan readily
agreed. and so the red-paint pot was
trotted out. When Williams came to
after his debauch his 81, 900 was gone.
The St. Paul police arrested Constant
and he was held in So, 900 bonds.

Soft Mark for Bunco Sharps.
Farmer Sparrowgrass was walking
down Broadway the other day, when q
young man, who was walking up the
same thoroughfare, looked at him
closely, and then stopped, held out his
hand in friendly manner, and said, in
q pleasant voice: .-..
swell, if this isn't my friend Mr..
Sparrowgrass y
"Yaas, the very same," replied the
farmer, carefully refraining to take the
outstretched hand, and planting both OF
his own deep in his trousers pockets.
"You hev drawn big prize in lottery,
heven't you, an you want me to 60 with
you to get the cash, don't you?" %
''No, indeed" replied the young man,
II do not indulge in such sinful prac-
tees as the purchase of lottery tickets. :"
''Then mebbe it's a cheek for $500
you'd sell me for $50 or $50, 'kase the
banks is closed an you can't get it
cashed," ventured Farmer Sparrowgrass,
thrusting his hands still deeper in his
pockets.
''Your language is unaccountable,"
rejoined the young man, in severe
tone. II have no check to be cashed. :"
"An' you don't want to lift no valu-
able package out of the express Office,

Certainly not, Mr.. Sparrowgrass; 1

me by express, without borrowing"

stranger went on, with q knowing
chuckle.
''Of course not! What do you mean
by such allusions?"

wink, ''only you can't get around your

Do Your Eyes Trouble You?


Heterophoria, or weakness of some
one or more of the ocular muscles, is
very often complication of some error
of refraction, and even though person
may wear the correct glass, this loss Of
equilibrium between the various mus
cles of the eye may be the cause of much
discomfort and distress, because where
the ocular muscles are not perfectly
balanced there is continual strain upon
the weaker muscles in order to do it's
work, and this alone will cause very
many headaches, neuralgiAs and nerv-
Gus symptoms generally. The optician
is unable to detect or remedy this con-
dition, which we believe can be and
should be corrected, in the large major
ity of cases, by the systematic exercise
of the weakened muscle with prisms,
instead of by the operation of cutting
the muscles, which we believe to be far
too frequently done by oculists; the
normal balance of the ocular muscles is.
to be sure, more quickly obtained by
cutting the strong muscle than it is by
the more slow process of strengthening
the weak muscle, but it has been the
writer's experience that the latter proc
ess has been the most permanent and
satisfactory in the end.-Medioal
