purchase his spring stock of goods.

best stores in this region and always
keep an attractive stock of goods

which we did with considerable

PERSONAL AND IMPERSoNAL

The recent reduction in price Of
aluminium has called renewed atten-
ton to the possibilities of the use Of
aluminium-bronze castings for pur-
poses in which the strength of forged
steel without its liability to corrosion
are essential. It's price should now be
not much above that of ordinary gun
bronze.
Every good cook is careful to dis
pose at once of the water in which
meat has been washed. Only a very
few hours are necessary to change it
into a foul-smelling liquid if the tenn
perature is suitable. This change is
due to a little plant called bacterium
termo. A drop of this putrid material
under the microscope reveals many
thousands of them, acting under a pecu-
liar vibratile motion.

FINAL TEST
And the Water Works Ac-
copied.
The City Council, the Fire Company
and a Committee of the Water
Works Company Test the Force
of the Water from the Water


The City Council met Thursday
morning-called meeting. A com.
munication from the Water Works
Company a read. Said Company
stated that the water works was com
plete and in accordance with the Or
dinance they were ready to make the
final test. The communication was
received and the Council then adjourn
ed to one o'clock in the afternoon to
go as a committee of the whole with
the Fire Company and the water works
managers and make a test of the fire
plugs on different streets. The first
test was made on Main street
with four streams Ofwater. each stream
through one hundred feet of hose.
Water was thrown one hundred feet
high from all four hose at one time.
The fire plugs on all the principal
streets were tested during the after
noon and the pressure seemed to be
the same all owe the city. The pres
sure from the pumps and the pressure
from the reservoir proved to be about
the same, and it is sufficient to throw
water over the tallest building in the
city.
Hundreds of people turned out and
Witnessed the test and everybody was
delighted with the success of the
water works. Capt. Halliday Patrick
Fitzgerald and the editor of the Cairo
Telegram were here to see the city and
witness the final test of the water
works. They were delighted with the
appearance of our city and more than
pleased with the showing made by the
water works. Capt. Halliday said he
had no idea we had such a substan-
tial city as he found. He was sur
prised to set so many handsome resi-
dences. and ne said he never visited ii
city That could show up better streets
than we have here.
After the tests were made the City
Council met again in the council
chamber and adopted a resolution ac-
ceDting the water works with the
hydrant rental to begin on the first
day of May.

it is the general opinion that they are
residents of this city and are amateurs

Is Consumption an Obstacle to Mar
ria9e.

One of the greatest of the lyric poets
touched a tender and responsive chord
when he put the great question: What
is home without Il mother-in-law?' II
DR.. Smell. of Grays, Essex, England,
had married Miss Evelyn Froude, he
would have had an opportunity TO
learn-b9cause there would have been
no mOther-in-iaw.
Evelyn's mother had gone into
rest" as the tombstone says. But
DR.. SMELLS objection was not founded
upon her going. but upon the manner
of her going. 1t "a reported that she
had died of consumption. DR.. Smell
entertained very strong views about
marrying into a family in which there
was consumption" Therefore, he
gave Evelyn "A piano, and some rings,
and ten pounds. and requested leave
to withdraw.
Evelyn sued him for breach OF
/ promise. If Smells case was a good
one scientifically. and he had broken
off the marriage for the reason alleged
and for no other. it would be Il very
interesting case. It would be instruc-
tive 70 see what a court of law would
do with the problem OF hereditary
disease. which is so well recognized in
some countries that certain marriages
are forbidden by statute for no other
reason than the fact they involve the
possible production of diseased
progeny.
But we suspect that Smell is a bit of
a fraud. If he is Il doctor he must
know by this time that consumption is
not hereditary. and that, as Evelyn
and her mother did not live in the
same house. she might not have the
disease.
Smell mad other reasons. but put his
ease upon scientific grounds, in de-
tiance of science. N. \. journal.
