was called the "rattlesnake flag" a flag
with simply thirteen stripes and a
rattlesneke running diasonally across

The flag of 1777 was a combination
of thirteen stars and thirteen stripes,

Gen. Washington. cooperating with

gress. designed the new form of the
flag. and it was made in Il little old
upholstery shop III Philadelphia by Il
Mrs. Betsy Ross.
The first flag approved by the Con-
gressional committee in charge of the
matter was 6 feet 8 inches long and 4
feet 4 inches wide. and the proportion
of length I o width has continued to
this day.
The first public exhibition and re-

The Question of Water Works Again
Brought up.

Brought up.
Fire has visited our city again, this
time in broad dav light. Among
other incidents of the visitation. Mr..
Frank Schwepker. u genial Main

life by suflocatiOn. Mr.. John Robb
also suffered very severely. lie was
in the thickest of the flames. But for
the timely aid of DIR. Biomcyer John
would have persisted. w can't af-
ford TO let such citizens perish.
This again brings up the question
of wafer works, o! which we have so
often made mention. We now sub
nit the matter once more. DO we
need wafer works. or shall we let the

appreciate the good things of this life
while we have them.
The fire originated in Mr.. John
Gawrorski's building. How or why
it began no one can say. Mr.. Cav
ronski informed us that the flames
began in the attic and were wholly
unaccountable. The roof was ire
parably damaged. Johnny's furniture
