We give place in this issue to an
ordinance for water works which the
: Board will submit to the people at
: the May election. We hope every
citizen of McMinnville will give the
+ ordinance careful perusal and con-
sideration. Let it be understood in
the beginning that this ordinance
proposes to furnish the city with
wholesome spling water, suitable for
all domestic purposes. 1t is quite
probable also that this plan for water
works will not require any increased
taxation. Ifapproved by the people,
. it will be year or more before the
: works can be completed. By that
= time, with good business manage
ment and close collections, our reve'
nues will, at the present rate of taxa
b ton, very nearly if not quite, pay the
i water rentals.

unassailable statement of the rule Of
propriety applicable to tho situation,
and half in inconsiderate petulance at
being Dismissed, Gerald let go Of the
sash with an impulse that almost closed
It. This time two miniature hands came
out under the swinging frame. Would
more than one hand have been naturally
used2 Was II not an awkward method
Of shutting q Window And Mary War
riner was not a clumsy creature. But
there were the hands and Gerald grasped
them. They huttered for freedom like
birds held captive in broad palms by
completely caging fingers Then he un-
covered them, but for an instant kept
them prisoners by encircling the wrists
long enough to impetuously kiss them.
Another second and they were gone the
window was closed and the offender was
alone.
He walked slowly away, accusing him
self Of folly and ungentlemanlness, and
he felt better upon getting out Of the

obscuring shade Of rocks and trees,
among which the path wound crookedly
There rapid footsteps startled him, as
though he were a slrulking evildoer, and
the swift approach Of a man along an in
tersecting pathway made him feel like
taking to cowardly fight. But he recog-
nized the monomaniac Eph, who was in
q breathless tremor.
"Mr. Heath, could a man walk to
Dimmersville before the telegraph sta
ton there opens in the morningr Eph
asked, with several catches Of breath,
and a reeling movement Of physical
weakness.
"You go to bed, Eph.- was the reply,
meant to be soothing. land I'll see that
your telegram goes from here the earliest
thing in the morning. That won't be
more than six or seven hours from now. I"
six or seven hours" the poor fellow
deploringly moaned; "Tll be . good
many years older by that time. Oh, it's
awful to have your life go whizzing
away like mine does, and he clutched at
Gerald with his fdgety hands, with q
vague idea Of slowing himself by holding
TO q normal human being.
Then he darted away, swaying from
ode to side with faintness, and disap-
peared in the foliage which lined the
path he was following.
Gerald watched him out Of sight, and
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1891-02-12

was about to resume his own different
way, when the voice Of Tonic Ravelh
was heard, with its Italian extra "a" to
the short words and a heavy emphasis
on the final syllable Of the long ones.
"Mistair Heath" he said, ~ saw-a
your afectlonate parting wees Mees
Warmer"
Gerald had just then the mind Of q
culprit, and he began to explain apol-
ogetically: at was cowardly in me to
insult defenseless girl She didn't in
vite it. I'm ashamed Of myself"
He hardly realized to whom he was
speaking. The two men were walking
rapidly, Ravelh taking two strides to
ono Of the bigger Gerald, in order to keep
"You should be med-yOu--a
scoundrel."
Asmuch of jealous fury and venomous
malice as could be vocalized in six words
was in Ravellis sudden outbreak. Gerald
was astounded. He turned upon his COM
panion, caught him by both lapels Of his
coat and shook him so violently that his
boot soles pounded the ground. Raveli
staggered back upon being loosed, and
threw one arm around tree to steady
himself.
81 didn't mean to hurt you" said Ger
Cd, ''but you shouldn't be reckless with
Dur language. Perhaps you don't know
9hat scoundrel means in English"
"a saw you-a kiss her hand"
"Did your Well, do you know what
ID do to you, Ravelli, if saw you kiss
Ter hands-as did-without her con.
tnt3 I'd wiring your miserable neck
Now, what are you going to do to meS'
II anna going to keel you"
The blade Of a knife flashed in Ravelli's
right hand as he made a furious onslaught.
But the stronger and quicker man gripped
both Of his assailant's wrists, threw him
violently to the ground and tortured
him with wrenches and doublings until
he had to drop the weapon. In the en-
counter theSclothes of both men were
torn. and when Ravelli regained his feet
blood was dripping from his hand. The
blade had cut it.
"You meant to kill me-" Gerald ex-
claimed.
81 said-a 3d." was the sullen. menac-
ing response.
"And with my own knife" and Ger
aid, picking up the knife, recognized 1t.
"Your-a own knife-ze one zat you
carve-a Mary's hand with so lovingly"
Ravelli had retained it since the pre-
vious afternoon, when he had picked 1t
up from Mary WARMERS desk. Its
blade was now red with blood, as Ger
aid shut and pocketed it.
"You cowardly murdereri"
Murderer? Not-a yet But meant
to be-"
Ravelli turned off by the cross path
and Gerald passed on.

Smut on the corn originates In light
spores that are carried about In the at
mosphere. II is said to enter the stem
when the plant Is young, and through
out its whole growth the fungus is grow-
ing within It. but produces but little ap-
parent effect until about the time Of
caring. The smut forms oftenest on the
ear, but is also found on other parts Of
the stalk. Corn seems to be the only
crop in which smut appears long enough
before maturity to admit Of any treat

The first man to go to work at Over
look in the morning was Jim Wilson,
because he had to rouse the fire under q
boiler early enough to provide steam for
q score Of rock drills. The night watch
man awakened him at daybreak, accord
ing to custom, and then got into bunk
as the other got out Of one.
Everything all rightY' Jim asked.
II guess So" the other replied. But
haint seen your boiler sence afore mid.
night. Eph was disturbin' Mary Mite,
and 30 hung round her cabin pretty
much the last half of the night"
Jim went to his post at the boiler, and
ct an unaccustomed pace, from the point
where he first saw and heard steam hiss
ing upward from the safety valve. On
quitting the night previous he had
banked the fire as usual and this morn
ing he should have found it burning so
slowly that an hour of raking, replenish-
ing and open draughts would no more
than start the machinery at 2 O'Clock
Going nearer he found that open damp
ers and fresh supply Of coal had set the
furnace raging.
What was that which protruded from
the open door and so nearly filed the
aperture that the draught was not i'm
pairedp
A glance gave the answer. It was the
legs and half the body Of a man, whose
head and shoulders were thoroughly
charred, as Jim was horrifed to see when
he pulled the remains out upon the
ground
Jim ran to tell the superintendent, and
within few minutes a knot Of excited
men surrounded the body. The gather.
ing grew in numbers rapidly. By means
Of the clothing the dead and partially
burned man was identified at once as
Tonic Ravelli. That he had been mur-
dered was an equally easy conclusion.
The murderer had apparently sought TO
cremate the corpse. Whether he had
found itphysically impossibleor had been
frightened away could only be conject-
ured.
"Who can have done itT" was the ques-
ton asked by Superintendent Brainerd.
the autocrat Of Overlook
There was q minute Of silence, with
al staring intently at the body, as though
half expecting 1t to somehow disclose the
truth. The night watchman was first
10 speak.
"Eph might have done 1t, he said.
Then he told Of the monomaniac's visit
tothe telegraphic station, and Of the acute
stage which his malady had reached.
Nobody else present had seen him since
tho previous evening. Superintendent
Brainerd ordered a search Of the lodg-
lngs. Ten minutes were sufficient for q
round Of the different quarterS Eph
was in none Of them. The searchers re-
