q Shocking Qecioent

Last Friday afternoon Jay j. Ram
sey, the only son of Conductor RAM
sey, took his gun and drove down to
the marsh on the old Jesse Parsons
place to shoot some ducks. He was
brought home just at night with his
forearm badly shattered by a load OF
shot. Just how the accident occurred
Will never be known, but it Is sup
posed that in some manner the gun
was discharged while he was unhitch-
ing his horse to return home. He
was very weak from loss of blood and
about daylight the next morning
died.
This is one Of the saddest deaths we
have ever known. 1t has cast shade
of gloom over the whole city, and the
hearts of the people go out in sympa'
thy to the stricken parents and loving
sisters.
Jay was bright and noble young
man, studious and courteous at all
times and without bad habit. He
was Justly the pride of his parents
and the delight of his sisters.
He was a student Of great promise
in the State University and was only
home for few days. visit with his
people during the Easter vacation
He died on the morning OF his 18th
birthday. Every circumstance con-
nected with his death seems so cruel
and hard to bear; and the stricken
family has the deep and sincere sym
pathy of all.
Jay has gone from among US; nc
more will we behold his manly form
or be greeted by his kindly smile OIL
merry laughter, yet his memory viii
ever linger, and though we see him
not nor hear his voice, he cannot bt
| forgotten. Hard as is this burden tt
his parents it must be borne. w
cannot now see the necessity of Thu
stroke, but an Omnipotent Ruler il
over all things. He gives and III
takes away. Although the stroke il
almost more than his parents cal
bear, they would not that they hat
never been trusted with the keeping
of this bright jewel. The Owner ha
called for his own sooner than was ex
pected. But the memory OF tn
eighteen years of possession will be tn
sweetest thought of after life. Ant
the blessed assurance that he has onl.
gone on before and awaits in a bette
and brighter cline the coming OF hi
loved ones, is the only consolation
that can reach the hearts OF tn
stricken family.

A Large Waterman Bursts on Wis
cons n Avenue Near
EiOaGWay

Waukesha, Wis, Aug. 19.-[Special. !
Residents in the neighborhood Of the
corner of Wisconsin avenue and Broad
way were awakened at about t o'clock
this morning by a rumbing and roaring
which could be heard fer several blocks.
Upon investigation it was found that the
water main on Wisconsin avenue had
burst and there was a miniature geyser
IN the center of the street. The water
was thrown several feet in the air and
stones and sand were thrown out several
feet beyond the edge of the break. Some
one Immediately notified the company OF
the break, but it was nearly an hour be-
fore the water was turned off and in the
meantime much damage was done by the
flooding of cellars in the neighborhood.
There was extra heavy pressure on l:st
night. New pumps have been put in the
pumping station and the reservoir on
Tower hill was nearly full. This made
the pressure very heavy. There was
much dissatisfaction at the time the sys-
tenn was constructed over the quality of
the pipe used. When the franchise was
granted, the company was to put IN cast
iron pipe, but succeeded in inducing the
village board to allow them to substitute
cement-lined pipe instead. The pipe
now IN use Is almost as thin as stovepipe
with a cement lining and it is laid in
cement. This, the company contends, is
superior to cast-iron pipe although at
present, where they are laying new mains
or making repairs, they are using the
cast-iron pipe.
The Wisconsin street main broke
Wednesday, but the break was not so
large as the one last night The pipe at
the break Is not ruSted, as many sup
pose. 1t Is as shiny as when new
