City Government Meeting.

An adjourned meeting of the city council
was held Tuesday evening, Nov. 9th. In
addition to the refunding business, reported
elsewhere in this issue of The Journal, the
following business was transacted:
The committee on bylaws and police regu-
laJions reported that they attended to the
duty assigned them in relation to the water
supply; that they are satisfied that the water
company have done all in their power to
furnish good water. They also personally
saw every hydrant in The city flushed, and
all appear to be in good working condition
Mrs. A. I. Brown, for the Non Partisan
Alliance, asked for and was granted permis-
sion to use the Common Council room on
Saturday afternoons for a girls sewing
school.
+ Orders were passed instructing the Trea-
urer to release certain real estate on payment
of delinquent taxes.
The Treasurer was authorized and in
structed to appear at all sales Of real estate
to be sold for delin quent taxes by the Col
lector or Sheriff, and to bid in behalf of the
city.

Improvement in the Water Supply

When Alderman Rankin, chairman of the
committee "authorzed and directed" by the
city government 10 have the hydrants opeu-
ed, etc, called last week on Superintendent
Bird of the Belfast Water Co., he was most
courteously received and rendered all posi-
bic assistance A team was provided and an
experienced man detailed to accompany the
committee to open the hydrants, and to be
under their orders. Mr.. Bird said they might
let the water run as long as they pleased,
hut suggested that they should not open the
hydrants when the pump was going at the
station. as it would enlanger the pipes and
that it would not be advisable to open more
than or 70 hydrants at one time as the
water might be needed in case of fire. To
these reasonable and proper suggestions
Mr. Rankin readily acceeded, The first
afternoon, Nov. Sd, l. hydrants were opened
and were found in good condition. The
water was somewhat muddy at first, but
was allowed to run until it became clear.
This was continued until the IS hydrants in
the city had been opened. Particular atten-
tiOn was paid to what are called the dead
ends" One hydrant in the northern part OF
the city was allowed to run at least ten
minutes, when there was no mud or dis
coloration to be seen. Thursday an I'M
provement in the quality of the water was
noticed, and it has continued to improve.
Whether this is due to the cleaning ont of
the standppe, the flushing of the pipes, or
last weeks rains, which filled the reservoir
and overfowed the dam, is not material, but
probably all helped. and from now on we
have reason to expect that our water supply
will both in quantity and quality be all that
could be desired. 1t is noticed that the
water flows much more freely through the
faucets than formerly.
After the foregoing was in type we were
informed that some of the hydrants had
been opened second time at the suggestion
of Mr.. Bird, to make the flushing more
thorough.

Farm and Stock Notes.

William A. Monroe of Belfast tried the
experiment this year of sowing alfalfa and
crimson clover and is so we'll satisfied with
the result that he intends to continue their
use. He devoted about an acre to each, and
from the clover, which was sown in June
harvested two heavy crops. The alfalfa,
I sown at the same time, yielded about two
tons to the acre and has a good start for
next year. Alfalfa, when once rooted in a
field is "stayer," but the clover is an
annual.
Bay View Stock Farm in East Belfast has
"a horses and colts on hand now, headed by
the stallion Silver Spray. There are four
brood mares, the trotters Molly R. and Tor
pedo, five 3-year-olds, two 2-year-olds, six
yearlings, two weanlings, and pair of work
horses. The animals are all in good condi-
ton. Mr.. Otis is also gradually increasing
his herd of milch cows, and on Nov. 9TH, when
representative of The Journal called at the
farm, had two handsome registered Jerseys,
one Hereford two grade Holsteins and sew
eral Jersey calves. one thoroughbred bull,
which is to be kept on the farm.
John Crosby of East Belfast, who for
several years past has raised large crop of
cabbages, did nothing in that line this year
on account OF unfavorable weather. He
intends to increase his area in that crop
! over former years, if conditions are favor
able, next season. He keeps his cabbages
from harvesting time until they are wanted
for market by burying them in the ground.

MRS. MKINLEY's END NEAR.
Her Physicians Feared She Would
Not Last Until This Morning,

Canton, O., Dec. 10.-Friday marked the
ninth day of the sickness of Mrs. Nancy
Allison Mckinley since she was stricken
by paralysis. During these nine days, she
has taken but little nourishment and dur
ing that period has been conscious only a
few times. The case has been pronounced
by the attending physician as a very re-
markable one.
Several visits were made by DR.. Phillips
during the day and at each one he reported
that there were clear indications the pa
tient had become decidedly weaker. At
II o'clock, a change for the worse was re-
ported very apparent.
When DR.. Phillips called at the house at
o'clock this evening he found the patient
very low, so weak that evidences of life
were barely evident. He said he did not re-
gard 1t as possible that she could live
tWenty-four hours longer, and it was his
opinion that she would pass away before
the midnight hour tonight.
President Mckinley has been almost
constant In his vigil to-day. 1t was with
the greatest difficulty that the other rela-
tives prevailed upon him to take even
brief rests.
1t Is evident that he has realized the
near approach of the end for the past
twenty-four hours, and he manifests his
great devotion to his mother by being with
her all through her last hours.
Canton, O., Dec. II, 2:3O a. m.-There was
practically no change in Mrs. Mckinley S
condition at 2:16 this morning, according
to the doctors opinion.
