An Experiments.

Street Commissioner Funk commenced
work on Wednesday opening up the water
main on High street for the purpose of
Mr. Web Griffith. On account of the
ground being frozen it was pretty hard
digging. and Commissioner Funk, by way
Of experiment, concluded that a charge of
dynamite Inserted in the ground 10 be
lifted. would facilitate the work aud make
the digging much easier. Mr. Griffith ad
viSed against the experiment on Wednes-
day, but on Thursday morning the street
commissioner concluded 10 give dynamite
a fair test, drilled hole, inserted a charge,
exploded 1t, and the result-somewhat diff
ferent from that cXpected-iS disastrous TO
the whole town. The internal dynamite,
instead of tearing up just what was needed
to be torn up, blew dOwnwards. shattered
the main pipe, and in 90 few minutes the
ditch was filed with water and a six inch
stream went pouring down the cutters.
In order to make repairs the water had
to be turned off at the junction of High
land and Julian streets and all tho people
of Ebensburg. with the exception of Il few
On Centre street, are without water and
are blessing the experimental tendencies
of Street Commissioner Funk. 1t will
take day or TWO To make the Necessary
repairs and those who are dependent on
the water works for water must go dry
or seek il at some other fountain.

The center piece OF the elaborate Christ
mas decorations at William +. Gable n
Co.'S is an immense Christmas tree 32jz
feet high. This great tree, which is prob
ably the largest one ever decorated by
Santa Clans. stands in the main aisle Of the
Great Daylight Store, and its stately
branches reach away MP into the third
story of the building through the area
below the skylights.
The tree is a spruce, and it was cut down
within a mile of the border of Bedford
county, twenty miles of Altoona, ana was
hauled TO that city by wagon. Great diff
fculty was experienced in getting the tree
through the covered bridges and oyer
rough roads. but it was finally landed at
the door and placed in the position assign
ed in the decoration of the store.
The tree has been decorated with hun
dreds of toys of all kinds from the tiny
glass balls to dolls and drums. To heighten
the effect at night 100 var-colored electric
lights are fixed among the big branches of
the tree and when it is lit up it presents
wonderful and enchanting picture. 1t is a
great Christmas tree and one worth going
miles to see.
Every one of the twelve big columns
with the genuine bark of trees and be-
decked with spruce branches. giving the
effect of a great forest. These are decOra
ted with colored clcctrics. over one ton of
bark was used to cover the columns. The
horse show on the platform in the rear of
the store is another attraction. Altogeth-
er the decorations from windows to base
mcnt and top floor are a marvel of beauty
and good taste. EverybOd should see the
big store soon. People living out of town
are especially invited To visit the store and
see the decorations this month. We can
assure them of one of the most unique
sights ever presented to their view and
warrant that its worth travelling many
miles To see.
