WATER,

The doctor says he is pleased to say
that the use Of well water in the city is
gradually diminishing Each advance of
the city water system closes up numbers
of old wells which are continually pro-
ducing sickness, and on this account the
commissioner reiterates the warning to
the public against the use of we'll water,
the source he says. of many days sick,
ness. While" he says. we may get
some refuse and dirt in our water from
the great father of waters. yet it comes to
us in an oxydized form of comparatively
inocuous character, for which reason there
is strong recommendation for the rapid
extension of the city water system.
The health commissioner speaks at
length OF the importance of the
system Of removal of garbage
and the work accomplished during the
year under the supervision of the health
department, and speaks of the careless
ness of citizens in providing receptacles
for their garbage, and that considerable
tact and persistency is necessary in the
men engaged in gathering to overcome
this.
SEWERS.
On thesquestion of sewers, DIR. Eyster
urges the;sdoption rof a practical and
definite plan of sewers as the most press
ing sanitary measure needed at the pres
ent time, and recommends that q sanitary
engineer be employed TO map out the
present sewers and propose a plan and
system that may be built up to in the future.
Such course would undoubtedly prove
true economy in saving and rebuilding the
sewers Of inadequate size, the construc-
ton of those OF larger capacity than me-
cessary, the psrslleling of those compe-
tent for more than one street, and in
many other ways, the doctor holds, pro-
mote our sanitary welfare.

ROLAND BELL.
He Has Clambered Up the Jasper wan
to Blossom on the Other Side.

One of the most pathetic and touch
ing deaths that has come within the
range of our observation, occurred
the morning of Jan. 9Th, 1892. About
ten DAYS previous to the close of the
little life, Mr.. and Mrs. G. ii. Bell
arrived from California with Rollie,
their eighteen and half months old
son. The baby had been i'll in San
Francisco, and as the attending ply
stefan pronounced the case la grippe,
offered no objection to their coming
to Nevada as they had intended. Mr..
b. calculated proceeding to Cotton
wood where he has extensive mining
interests, and Mrs. B. and Rollie
were to go to Salt Lake City to pass
the winter, after having visited DR..
Banks and family, who are close and
intimate friends, hoping the baby
would regain his usual excellent
health. But all to no purpose. Medi-
cal aid failed. The universal and re-
lentless machine, Death, called the
little boy away. In the language of
a former Winnemucca pastor, "He
has clambered up the Jasper wall to
blossom on the other side" What
ever of evil we may escape in life,
whatever of good we may miss, one
lot awaits all mankind. We must all
yield to Death. We cannot bar the
way of the conquering hero who
steadily advances toward us, every
day, drawing us on to the inevitable
end. We know how futile it is to adj
dress words, idle words, to father and
mother, in this moment of supreme
anguish. Since God has plucked the
blossom from your home, it is for a
purpose none of us dare divine. He
alone can pour balm upon your
crushed heart. The holy Joy is yours
of knowing that angel eyes now watch
for your coming, and that your
beautiful boy will receive you, when
life's dark day is done.

The Exciting Times on the Mississippi
Before the War.

ID. Grail of Cincinnati, talking
about old times on the Mississippi
River, said to Detroit Free Press re-
porter:
''Before the war l used to run on
the Mississippi River, and you may
depend times were red hot in those
days. The stories that you hear
about the exciting occurrences that
were daily happening on the big pas
senger boats in te-bellum days are
not the least exaggerated. On the
contrary, / have seen livelier
times there than l have ever
read or heard about. Gambling!
W-h-e-w! Well. / should say so,
and to tell the truth | was right in it
myself. ! have sat in poker games
day after day and night after night
where bowie-knives and seven-shoot-
ers were to be seen on every side, and
where negro slaves were the stakes.
| am no SLOUGH of card player, and
have fingered the pasteboards with
the cream of the profession, and yet
when | recall some of those old times
it makes the shivers run up and down
my spinal column.
Passengers on the river boats in
the days referred to lived high, / as
sure you, and such thing as having
water on the table for drinking pur-
poses was unheard of. Wine and
whisky flowed freight was mark of
great eheminacy to be seen drink
ing Adams ale. To give you some
thing of an idea how they used to do
in the sos | will relate an incident
that / witnessed on the steamer Mon
arch in '56. A passenger walked up
to the clerks desk one morning,
threw down 500 bill and said Take
what owe you out of this
'The clerk-and all such function
aries were important-feeling fellows
aboard Mississippi River steamboat
glared at the bill and then threw it
back with the remark, That's bad
1T can't be- replied the passenger,
i just drew it out of bank One
word drew on another, until finally
the clerk called the passenger liar.
Quick as flash the passenger drew
gun and fired, shooting the clerk
through the head, killing him in
stantly. The boats crew seized the
passenger, tied him to chair and
threw him overheard, and, sir, do
you know, not a man playing poker
in the cabin at the time left his chair
through the entire scene. Such
trivial occurrence as two human
beings loosing their lives was not
deemed of sufficienct interest or i'm
portance to warrant the gamblers
stopping their game.
Steamboat races? Well, guess
so. Time and time again | have seen
hams and barrels of pork thrown into
the furnaces during steamboat race.
and while the passengers on both
boats were standing on the brink of
eternity, you might say, the boats
shivering and groaning under the
awful strain like a couple of suffering
animals, the gamblers would stand
calmly by and lay wagers as to which
boat would win the race, or as to the
likelihood of one or both of them blow
ing up"

BEFORE THE
A Steamboat Built Twenty Years Before
Fulton's Time.

A Steamboat Built Twenty Years Before
Fulton'a Time.
Ii is not generally known that the first
steamboat ever built in the United States
was partly constructed in Frederick county
in the year 1855. The vessel was built by
James Rumsay at shepherdstown, w. va.
Robert Fulton with his Ciermont was an
ticipated by Rumsay twenty-two years
The steamboat was fitted up with machinery
partly manufacture cd at the Catotn furnace
OF. the Johnson Brothers, near Frederi1ks
The boiler, two cylinders, pumps. pipes,
ETC., were manufactured IN baltimore.
Some portions of the works were MADE az
the Antietam Iron works. On March IL.
l7S6. a public experiment.. the first ever IN
dertakeR In America, was made on the 70
tomao river. Rumsay succeeded IN attain
ing a speed Of four miles an hour against
the current.
Tho steamboat was eighty feet long. IL
was propelled by n steam engine. which
worked a vertical pump IN the middle OF
the vessel, by which the water was drawn
in at the bow and discharged through a
horizontal trunk at the stern. The boat
bore a load of three tons. The weight OF
its machinery was 666 pounds. he whole
of the machinery. including the boiler,
occupied a space but little over four feet
square. Two distinguished men were
patrons TO kumsey's George
Washington and Gov. Thomas Johnson, of
Maryland. Iho experiment was made IN
the interest of the proposed Chesapeake
d Ohio canal. Rumsey clearly and
satisfactorily demonstrated that a boat
could be propelled up stream against the
current.
Thus we find that the first steamboat
WAS propelled on the Potomac a por-
ton of the first machinery made III
