Cambridge City has voted to put
in a $25 600 water works system
Newspaper Item.
EDITOR COURIER: Why not erect
a stand-pipe on Reeder's hill ,
north Of Jasper, and put in a small
engine to pump water from a well
or two wells, as the hill is full OF
springs, and lay water mains
throughout the city, do away with
the old fire engine, use only hose
carts, sprinkle streets, water lawns,
flush sewers, and extinguish fires
with the water. The altitude 1.-THE
hill would give pressure enough to
the water in the pipes to throw q
stream over the court house steeple
A town the size Of Jasper needs wa
ter works, before it does electric
light, etc.
This is merely suggestion and
it is worth a little consideration by
the property owners. Water works
would save quite bit on insurance
rates, besides the convenience an'
health improving considerations.

The Inter Ocean says: "The Illi-
nois State troops in Chicago in the
recent riot cost $4,000 per day.
Uncle Sans troops cost nothing
except the transportation. They
were too cheap for the mayor. !"
OF course, soldiers in the regular
army serve for glory, and get no
other pay! and from the above
item it is inferred that their uni
forms, and other clothing are fur
nished by the manufacturers as a
donation! But nevertheless the
army appropriation bill passed by
Congress provides $31.OOO.OOO to
pay the army and its expenses.
but such misleading and false
statements are common in Repub-
lican papers, and are no more false
than the party itself

Aaron Houghton, living near old
Mt. Pleasant, was born in Knox
county on the farm he now owns,
has never lived any where else, has
never moved of the farm he was
born on, never moved out Of the

he is not such an old man either.

remember reading in my boy

horseback, accompanied by his dog

merchant did not. The dog barked
to stop him, and, as he rode far
ther, bounded in front of the horse
and barked louder and louder. The
merchant thought he had gone mad
and drew pistol from his holster
and shot him. The wounded dog
crawlcd back to the package, and
when the merchant discovered his
