Simple Water Test.

Into ground glass sto'ppered,
perfectly clean bottle pu.s five
ounces of the water to be te. tied.
To the water add ten grains ol
pure, granulated, white sugar.
Cork tight, and set in window
exposed freely to light but not to
direct rays of the sun. Do not
disturb the bottle, and keep the
temperature as near seventy de-
grees r. as possible. If the water
contains organic matter, within
forty-eight hours, an abundance of
whitish sEecks will be seen float
ing about, and the more organic
matter the moro specks. In a
week or ten days, if the water is
very bad, the c.dor of rancid but
ter will be noticed on removing
the stopper. The little specks will
settle to the bottom, where they
appear as white, coofulent masses.
Such water 6 hould not be used
for potable pu rposes.

When Wars Existed.

Washing ton, u. c., March 90
j Judge Advocate General Lemley
Of the war department, has rem
dered a decision as to Che COM
mencement. and ending of the
civil and the Spanish-American
war, as a basis for calculating war
service Of officers to be retired
after March 30. He holds that
the civil war began April Is, 1861,
the date Lincoln's proclamation
was issued, and it terminated
August 20, 1866, when hostilities
ceased in Texas, and not April 2,
1866, ae stated by the supreme
court. The Spanish-America
war began as declared by congress
April 81, 1893, and it is held to be
still in progress it is also held
that in computing the thirty years
service, years spent in the army
or marine corps in time of actual
war shall count double.

Pas Prayers.

Once upon time sickness came
to the family of the poorly paid
pastor of a country church, says
the Omaha World-Herald. 1t
was winter and the pastor was in
financial straits. A number of
his flock decided to meet at his
house and offer prayers for the
speedy recovery of the sick ones
and for material blessings upon
the pastors family. While one of
the deacons was Offering fervent
prayer for blessings upon the
pastors household there was a
loud knock at the door. When the
door was opened, a stout farmer
boy was seen, wrapped up com
fortably.
"What do you want, boy? asked
one of the elders.
I've brought pas prayers" re-
piled the boy.
Brought pas prayers?" What
do you mean?"
"Yep, brought his prayers, and
they're out in the wagon. Just
help me, an we'll get 'em in
Investigation disclosed the fact
that "pa's prayers consisted of
potatoes, flour, bacon, corn meal,
turnips, apples, warm clothing and
lot of jellies for the sick ones.
The prayer meeting adjourned in
short order.

Big Price for PARKWAY Rocks

The United States is paying
more for the Philippines than it
has ever thought necessary to ex-
pend in dollars and cents for any
new territory coded to this coun.
try by treaty or conquest. In
view of the fact that the Philip
pine islands are distant about five
weeks by water from San Fran
cisco and the consideration that
all the land hitherto purchased by
treaty has been adjacent to or
very near this country, it is the
natural conclusion that the far
ther we go away from home the
more dollars we should pay for
territory to annex to the Union.
But dollars and cents should b.
no obstacle to the expansion bust
ness. Never haul the flag down.
In 1903 this country bought
from France by treaty 1,l7l,93l
square miles of territory, the rich
and fertile soil included in the
Louisiana purchase, for $l5,OOO,-
600.
In 1920 by treaty the United
States bought from Spain 59,26S
square miles of land for Sc, 100000.
This was the land of Florida, a
tropical garden since, and even
then prosperous country.
just prior to the Mexican war,
Texas, which had declared its in
dependence from the rule of Mex
leo, was annexed to the United
States in response to the little re-
public's request. This'country is
sued $lO,OOO,OO0 in bonds to take
care of the obligations the new
stats had incurred during ia

Henderson Led in the Fight.

World-Herald: 1t now seems,
judging from Washington reports,
that the Burlington has retained
its cinch on the fast mail from
Chicago to Omaha after long
drawn out fight. This does not
imply that the Burlington has the
agreement for any fixed time, but
it does mean that any competitor
desiring to wrest from it this big
plum must make new showings
and bring new influences to work
to prove that the aspiring rival can
do as we'll as the Burlington and
then much more.
EARLY in January the fight began
as to the best train service between
Omaha and Chicago, the North
western leading the fight against
the Burlington by cutting under
the Burlington's new fest mail
schedule of less than ten and one
half hours. Then the Rock Is
land cut in by picking up the Lake
Shore mail at Englewood, while
its two rivals were yet waiting up
town in Chicago. 1t was neck
and neck affair for several weeks,
with honors claimed all around.
In Washington soon began the
fight that counted, however. It
was the attempt of the whole
Vanderbilt influence, represented
by such men as Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, Senator Plat and other east
ern congressman to overthrow the
Burlington's power in the railway
mail service. The Burlington was
promptly on deck with the sup
port of a large element of western
congressman and several active
railway officials, all organized for
effective work by General Man
derson of this city, who has spent
prs. ctically all Of his time for three
montlss leading this fight of the
road of which he is the general
solicitor. A. nd Washingtonreport
has it that the ,~estern men have
won.

LY TINES cannot give a single rea-
son for the election of its popo-
cratic ticket, cogent enough to
make it single convert. Try it,
gentlemen. Try speaking for your
party once for change.-Daily
News.
We have not thought it neces-
sary to speak personally of the Of
ficial:work of the present city coun-
Gil, believing that the work done
by them would speak louder than
any words spoken by The TIMES.
but as Bro. Sniff has "yaller" dog
skin to bet on the subject, we, to
save him loss, will give him few
reasons why the city council is en-
titled to the confidence Of the peo-
pie.
First-.They have made many
valuable city improvements on the
streets, by which the laboring peo-
pie of the city have had work and
the city been largely benefited.
Second They have improved
the pumping facilities at the water
station at q cost of about $1,000.
Third-They have enlarged the
building at the pumping station at
cost of about $500.
Fourth-They have extended
the water mains to all accessible
points in the city whore oonnec-
tions can be made, at q cost of sew
eral thousand dollars.
Fifth-Have extended the cleo
trio Light system to li.rge part of
the city.
Sixth-Have impro we'd the city
building and fair or ounds to q
considerable amount, and have ex-
pended in general il Improvements
to the amount of some $4,000,
which amount has been largely
paid to the people of the city.
Seventh-It has been liberal to
our fire boys, a class of men lyho
labor for the public good withou..
money and without price, and If
elected for second term, promise
to continue the good work.
Eighth-Have paid on the city
Wster Bonds (not yet due) over

OF the city treasurer the following
cash balances on hand:

We are not saying that another
