New Missouri Congressman.


The Washington correspondent of
the Globe Democrat has some bio
graphical sketches of new members
of Congress from Missouri. OF our
man, w. M. Treloar, who beat Champ
Clark, he says:
Mr.. Treloar was born on a farm in
Linden County, Wis, in 1850. When
the news went out that the Pike coun-
ty statesman, Champ Clark, had been
beaten, it was coupled with the infor-
nation that the man who had done it
was a country music teacher. This
beating was ali right, but the other
part of the story was far astray. On
Monday, Mr.. Treloar's name was one
of the earliest called when seats were
chosen. A thousand pair of eyes
looked curiously for Mr.. Clark's sue
cessor. They saw a well dressed,
scholarly looking gentleman emerge
from the crowd, walk down the aisle,
and with quiet dignity take his seat.
OF farm origin, Mr.. Treloar is college
bred, and one of the most cultured
men among the new members. The
sketch of his life shows that, remov-
ing from Wisconsin, he ''attended the
High School and Wesleyan University
at Mount Pleasant, Iowa; in 1872 re-
moved to Missouri, and taught Eng
lish and music at Mount Pleasant Col
lege, Huntsville; in 1876 he located at
Mexico, Audrain county, where he
he has since been engaged in teaching,
filing important positions in Synodi-
cal College, Fulton; Hardin College
(the Vassar of the West) and the pub
lie schools of Mexico. He never held
a political office prior to his election
to Congress-"

IDLE PRISONERS.

Not Contracts Enough Rt the State
 Prison [" Keep the. .Men Busy.
 The contractors at the state prison, Marcy Brothers < Go. holding four con- tracts, and Holbrook. Glazier X Co, hold ing one, appeared before the state prison directors yesterday and asked for re- duction on the price of their contracts, the depression in the market compelling the request. The directors appointed Major r. A, Spencer of this city and Warden Woodbridge a committee to in vestigate and report on the proposition at a special meeting to be called.
 The committee will also take into con slderaticn what means can be takeni to give employment to the idle force of prisoners now in the Institution. The contracts furnish employment to 256 men, but the increase of prisoners is as yet un- provided for. and the contract of one shop would not be taken because of the hard times. As large force as possible has been detailed to do the work about the prison. and still there are fifty pris- oners unemployed. except in such work as can be made for them from day to day. They bring no income whatever to the state and the problem the committee will try to solve is to to make them earn their board at least. The committee will make inquiries in other prisons and see If something will not be developed iu the course of which will relieve the situation

EVERYBODY HAPPY.

Mayor Mndun and Engineer Cairns More
 so Than the Rest of Us.
 Mayor Kilduff and City Engineer Cairns are two happy msn to-day and they put in last night the best nights sleep they have had in two months. Their hopes on the new water supply were fully realized and they have reason to feel happy.
 Mayor KilduIf was seon to-day as he was just issuing an order to President N. J. Welton of the board of water commits sioners to put the water from Wigwam reservoir iuto use in the city. The order is an informal one until the common council ratifies the water supply. City Engineer Cairns said that he had not com pleted his estimate on the whole cost, but with the pipe line complete and the water running through the city and every possible detail finished the cost would not be over $500. .O00. This evening if President Welton is willing he will open the big gate in the center and the ceremony of uniting the present water supply and the new supply will be per formed. There may be danger to the weather would be advisable. but the force c. water will be let in gradually and by morning the two systems will have been joined in wedlock for all time.
 This morning the water was shut of again for a time, to repair a man hole plate which was leaking in Waterville Every thing will be secure when the water is turned on.
 President N. J. twelton of the water board was int6tviewed on the mltter this afternoon.
 'what did you think of yesterdays dis play ?"
 1t reminded me-" he said. "of twenty seven years ago this month. In January. 1868, the first water from the East Noun tain reservoir was introduced into the city. At that time Philo P. Rockwell was mayor and the late James P. Goodwin of Union square was chief engineer of the fire department We had another such day as yesterday and the spectators stood appalled, at the streams of water that shot into the air"
 Asked if there was any danger to the cement pipes from the introduction of the new water source. MT Melton said: We don't anticipate any. there will be only difference of about eight pounds pressure and we think all our pipes will be able to stand this"
 Mir Welton said the gates would not be opened and the new scource connected with the old mains until after the storm He did not see any need of going to 'work at it during this kind of weather. When the present storm ceases the gate at the center and at the corner of North Willow and West Main streets will bt opened, and the water from the branch permitted to mingle with that from the East Mountain reservoir.
