THE RIVER ROAD.
Supervisor jenkins New Method
for Sprinkling.

The 1sleton correspondent of the Rio
Vista News" writes to that paper:
Supervisor Thomas Jenkins is intro
ducing a new sprinkling wagon of $50
gallon capacity, with a gasoline engine
attachment, which can be used to
pump water from the river to the tank,
and is experimenting in using it, in
connection with an iron suction pipe
with check valves, so with a short
suction hose attached to the pipe from
the wagon the tank can be filed in
about ten minutes.
If this proves a success pipes will
be put in at intervals along the river
so water can be had where needed. In
sprinkling the roads a great deal of
benefit will be derived, not only from
the laying of the dust, but in keeping
the straw that is placed on the roads
from catching fire from lighted cigars
or cigarettes carelessly thrown on it.
1t will also pack the straw and leave
the road in better shape for the trav-
cling public.
Mr.. Jenkins has given the matter
much study, and has received many
ideas by visiting various Boards Of Su-
pervisors in different parts of the State
and receiving their views on the mat
ter, for the benefit of his district"

was his to SOW, that others might reap.
Nor would the Bishop attempt the i'm
possible. With infinite patience he had
learned by experience, and was con-
tent to make haste slowly, but it will
be learned that he acted wisely, for 1T
may be said that when he was stricken
down the turn of the tide had come,
and the outlook was more encouraging
than it had been for many years.
The Bishop was a reader Of char
acter and understood men. This
proved of great value to those of the
clergy who were appointed to fields
Of duty new to them, and who chose to
profit by calling on the Bishop for ad-
vice. Few people know the hindrances,
difficulties and obstacles which the
Bishop had to face. 1t is a diocese of
magnificent distances, i'll provided with
railways. In one case in which I was
asked to visit and minister to some
isolated church people, l found that it
would require a journey Of ten days
and cost in the neighborhood Of 500.
Both time and treasure have to be
spent in the work, and so the work is
slow and costly.
I have not said one-tenth of what
/ would like to have said about our
beloved Bishop and his work, but the
time grows near when I must close.
The memory Of our late Bishop will
ever be fragrant to me. He was a
good Bishop.
He was a man, take him for all in ALL
/ shall not look upon his like again.
The brave heart is still. The tired
soul is where the wicked cease to
trouble-where the weary are at rest.
The world is a poorer place to-day, and
some of US feel a void in our lives
which cannot be filled, and bear a grief
which, though it may be mellowed by
the lapse Of time, will ever remain with
us. May the soul Of our departed
Bishop be numbered with the souls Of
ft,a re of o-f In ha foi

MASONS DEFEAT THE MILLERS.
At Oak Park yesterday the Mason
Laundry and Phoenix teams played a
very snappy game of ball, and one that
took with the crowd
The Shirt Cleaners opened hostili-
ties in the first inning by making a
number of long drives and hot liners,
and corresponding number of runs,
and kept the Millers on the jump all
through.
j. Ruser, who twirled for the Masons,
pitched steady game, while Pony
Walker, for the Phoenix, only recently
returned from the Klondike, put up a
grand game in left field, his old posi-
ton. He will soon be in his old-time
form again. Below is the result, told in

WHY BILL PURSI ED THE TRAIN.

From The Topeka Journal.
Did YOU hear about my friend B?" said a
trainman "Wcll, that fellow has made me laugh
more times than Not long ago BIZ got
humping tOOthdche He wants to have that tooth
out but he don't want to pay the money. nor he
amt got the nerve to have the thing done All the
same that tooth is keeping him up at night. and
Bill he almost goes wild. Either that tooth
says Bill. one the other; amt going to stand
this Of life All the same, when Bill starts to
go to the dentist he Is scared that the tooth
stops aching. but when he turns back and reaches
the house the tooth is plugging him again
Now. Bill thinks of a great scheme What does
he do but buy piece of strong string; say, YOU
know this kind Of silk thread. and he WAKES that
and ties it to his tooth. tight that It can't
OFF Then l} walks down to the railroad station.
You see it his idea to tie the string to
freight car. and then, when the train started. it
would jerk the measly tooth out He finds tho
freight and ties the string to the cOuplW of tho
car and stands around to wait until the train
starts Well. sir. he begins to feel chilly about the
gills. Tho more he thinks OF the time when tho
train H. going to move the worse he feels Every
time the whistle blows he jumps. We'll. guess I'd
better unite thinks Bill, and come another day
But when he goes TO loosen the string he finds It's
70. and he can't jerk the thing loose because the
other end Is on the tooth.
Wcll. sir. that train begins to start. and Bill he
doesn't have the nerve to stand back. 80 he just
