Good News,

The JOURNAL hears much commend
alton of the quality of improvement put
on the roads around town.
Two gentlemen praise highly the style
with which the commissioners, Mr.
Pritchard in particular, have renewed
the important hillside thoroughfare be-
tween the G. 81 p. r. station and Union
mine. One says that besides saving Il
little fare, it is greater pleasure to
walk than ride to the lower-yard.
The JOURNAL has an offer from Gone
Who Knows to tell of other improve
ments around town (WHICH" he says,
have made the roads better than the
towns Streets

More Water.

For some years the town has been
troubled with a scarcity of water, just
when an abundant supply is most needed.
At present, i'll the midst of this trying
dust, the authorities request the people
to refrain from sprinkling the streets i'll
order that the town may have enough
for other uses
Having heard from time to time what
seemed to be fairy tales of IAN abundant
supply within easy reach of the present
supply station" the JOURNAL accepted
an invitation Thursday and joined a
party consisting of Mcssrs. Henry Mayer,
George II. Wittig and Rev. S. G. Hefel-
bower, determined to see for themselves
1.-The situation, and the following obser-
vatioDs are submitted to all in Interests
Within less than 1000 feet of the
pumping station and about - or 100 feet
below it, roughly estimated, there is Il
stream of water which, even at this dry
time, is flowing strong enough to fill a
four-inch pipe placed at IL pitch of one
inch to the foot. The greater part of
this appears to be water that is not
caught at several of the springs the
town is using, and the rest comes from
farther down the hillside. 1t is spring
water-from sources the same as now
drawn from.
To the eyes of inexperts there is at
least as much water running away as
there is running into the pumping reser-
voir. If not mistaken, our supply comes
i'll through two threcinch pipes and one
two inch pipe. These are now running
scarcely more than half full, and it re-
quires Is or II hours for them to fill the
supply reservoir, which is said to hold
only 120, 900 gallons.
Several plans for recovering this lost
water have been suggested, the JOURNAL
giving that which appears best:
/, The construction of reservoir less
than 900 feet from the pumping station
for the arrest and storage of the water
now running away -
,, The introduction at this point of an
air-compreSSor for propelling this water
back to the pumping station, and
3, 1t seems to be admitted by those
who know that the pumping engine in
use is inadequate to the work required;
that IA new and stronger machine is
needed and will ultimately have to be
secured. While doing this the authori-
ties can provide for one that will either
serve also for running the compressor,
or so utilize the present one.
As the JOURNAL understands the mat
ter, this will require no additional labor
and will be eventually the cheapest and
most effective provision that can be
made.
But there are other plans, probably
better, but one of which it is incumbent
upon Council to adopt at oDcr
About plans, however, let there be as
little division us possible.
The lost water is wanted and wanted
badly

He said that there were too many of those who came to church as matter of form and too few of those who attended with the proper spirit.
 The address was full of interesting stories and was enjoyed from beginning to end At the conclusion of the address the speaker was heartily applauded by the large audience. The programme was as follows:
 Singing-By choir and congregation. Prayer-Rev. MT. Dickerman. Opening remarks-W. H. Ransom,
 master of ceremonies. Singing-Olio quartet. Lecture My Black Cat"-Rev. A. c.

 course given by the Young Mems Christian association. The programme
 was exceedingly varied and went off
 in good style. The artist first rapidly
 sketched the portrait of President Me
 Kinley and then with a few character istic strokes changed the picture sue cessfully to represent David B. Hill, the novelist Dickens and finally William
 JenrinPs Rrvan Discardine the latter sketch which fell on the platform, the speaker facetiously noted the incident. The monologues of MT. Blackton were full of satire and wit and fire sparkled constantly. The satire on the fashion able woman was an especial hit, as were the mimicking recitations. The pastile sketches at the close changing from summer to winter sunrise and sunset, remarkable for the skill and rapidity of the artist MT. Blackton was assisted by the association orches- tra, which was led by Professor Henry G. Nichols.

Keefe, Harry Levian Edwin Trevor Arthur Magill, Frank Base, John l..
