THE WATER DEPARTMENT.

The water works system, under the
excellent management Of Supt. G.. l..
Parkhill, has an excellent record for
the past year There we're no extern
sions in the water main or sewer sys-
tenn. Three buildings we're equipped
with the water service, and IA build
ings with sewer and water. During
the wear only SO tons of coal we're used
at the pumping station, and this sup
ply pumped 100000 gallons of
water. Repairing to NJ ms was un-
necessary, and the boilers the pump
house also stood the years v rk with
out repairs. The expenditures on re-
pairs to pumps amounted to only So,
and these cover period of three years.
SIS was expended on fire valves, includ-
ing batteries and air compressor, and
Mr.. Parkhill states that the articles
purchased will last three years. So
was expended on repairs around the
station There we're no expenditures
for the sewer system, the water tower,
etc.
Only one fire was reported during
the year, and the damage amounted
to about 81 600. 1t was the fire of 81.
E. Greene, in which the old Park
Hotel barn was DESTROYED, and in
which Mr.. Greene lost several head of
horses and cattle. Only one alarm
was turned in-that for the above fire.
Permits to tap the mains were issued
20 Is persons, and there were no breaks
in the system.
Proposed extensionn in the water
main system for the next year are on
Second from Lincoln to East, on Fifth
from Lincoln to jefferson to Ninth and
on Wyoming to Ramsey.
The city administration has reason
to be proud of the record made by the
water department during the past year.

AN AVERAGE VERDICT.
1t Was Struck Through Difference of Opinion Among the Jury
 on Damages.

While the lawyers were waiting for court to open, and before they flew al each other $ threats, they exchanged a few stores of the profession.
 The strangest trial in which I was ever engaged was one of my first, said gTIzzed- headed attorney. T was counsel for the plaintiff in a suit brought to recover damages caused by q runaway horse. My client had been knocked down and slightly bruised, not very much, just enough to base a lawsuit was practically no defense, and the defend ing to get half. Well, when the jury came n they rendered q verdict for the plaintiff with damages assessed at SS,6SE Of course the Judge promptly set the verdict aside as eAees5fFe5 and 1 had to began all over aga3H. Some days later 1 met the foreman of the Jury and asked him how in the world they arrived at such verdict.
 We'll, l don't quite understand t my self he said, scratching his head. We all agreed for the plaintiff on the first vote, but each fellow had his own ideas as 10 the damage. 1 was n favor af Sl ,030 another fellow thought t ought to be 2000, and an- other stuck out for SI00, and we were get ting al tangled up when one of the jury sug- gestgd that we strike an average.
 = But you couldn't have done that said I.
 "'That's just what we dd.' said the fore. man. Each man put down what he thought right and l added them together. l know there does seem to he something wrong about that verdict, but hanged if l can sec where 1t isl 9-Chicago Times-Herald.

Serious results often follow a strain, especially when 1t affects the back, and few people are so liable to strain those who are lifting heavy loads of various kinds, from day to day. The teanster rarely ever overtaxes his strength. Fa- miliarity with the class of wares he handles, enables him to entirely gage the load he lifts not to put an excessive burden on himself But with the farmer 1t Is different He is lifting loads of such varying weights and under such varying conditions that he is very liable to lift a little too much some day, with injurious results Many serious affections of the great organs of the body originate in strain.
