Cemetery Social.

Next Tuesday. July Oath, the ladies
of the Extra Cemetery Association
will give an entertainment and
serve refreshments. Anyone who
has visited our cemetery this year
knows the vast amount of work they
have accomplished. Time and mon
ey have been expended by them un-
til we have cemetery that we may
we'll be proud Of The ladies still
have other plans for identifying
the grounds and need more money.
The money raised by this social is
for no individual or set of individu-

community. The person who lives
in a place and is not in favor of
helping public enterprise either by
his or her presence or money is of
no benefit to the community. No
more worthy cause ever came be-
fore the people than this and we
trust they will receive liberal pat
ronage. Admission to the enter
tainrnent will be five cents. and the
refreshments will be extra. The one
hundred members of the associa-
ton should at least be present. Re-
member the date, July oath.

Monday evening, July 16, 1900, Mr..
Leonard ]. Whitney and Miss kittie
Bowen were united IN marriage at
home of the brides mother, Mrs.
w. H. H. Bowen, on Depot street.
Mr.. Whitney is a young man of
energy, push and ambition, honest
and upright in his business rela-
tions, frugal and saving in his liv-
ing, moral and pure in his life. He
represents the type that men trust
and cling to when honesty and So
briefly is needed. He has large
number of friends who congratu-
late him on his new life.
The bride is lady strong in
CHI aracter and possessing many of
the charms that make pure and con-
sistent womanhood. Pure in every
thought and action she has among
her friends all who love purity and
straightforwardness in womanhood
as her friends. She will make a
good economical wife for him she
has chosen. They have gone to
housekeeping in the property just
east of the Christian church. The
wedding was a very quiet one, only

A Lake That Eats Boats.

A strange lake exists in the center Of
Sulphur island off New Zealand. 1t is
so acres in extent. about 10 feet in
depth and Is feet above the level of the
sea-
The most remarkable characteristic
of this lake is that the water contains
vast quantities of hydrochloric and sui
phuric acids Kissing ard bubbling at a,
temperature of 40 degrees f.
The dark green colored water looks
particularly uninviting. Dense clouds
of sulphuric fumes constantly roll off
this boiling caldron, and care has to be
exercised in approaching this lake to
avoid the risk of suffocation. On the
opposite side Of the lake may be seen
the tremendous blowholes, which,
when in full blast. present an awe in
spring sight.
The roar of the steam as it rushes
forth into the air Is deafening, and
often huge powders and stones are
hurled out to height Of several hun
dred feet by the various internal forces
of nature.
A boat can be launched on the lake,
and If proper care be observed the very
edges of the blowEoles may be safely
explored.
Some idea Of the strength of the acid
saturated water of this lake may be
gathered from the fact that boat al
most dropped to pieces after all the
passengers had been landed, as the
rlvets had corroded under the influence
Of the acids.

The time had come for the appear

There was a slight delay owing to
the hardness of the ghost in respond

The profound stiffness that followed
was broken by loud voice in the front
row of the main balcony:
Mamma, there are 81 men down

Parrots Natural Gymnast..

The curious gymnastic feats which
parrots sometimes perform in their
cages have been ascribed to the desire
of the birds to vary the monotony Of
their life in captivity. That was the
opinion Of Mrs. Mandsley, the wife of
the Central American explorer, until
she lived in the forest region near
Copan, where she saw the parrots in
state of perfect freedom indulging in
all the feats practiced by their Gagged
cousins.

Last Tuesday Uncle Henry Conk-
ling received a letter from his son,
George Conklin, up at Kingsley,
Iowa, conveying the sad intelli-
gence that MISS Merle Seibert, the
daughter of Mrs. Anna Seibert, and
who lived so long at the Christian
parsonage with Elder and Mrs. ].
c. McQuerry, and is so we'll known
to all our citizens, had died at the
home Of her Grandpa W. c. Mitchell
at Osceola, Clark county, this State,
on Monday, July 16, 1900, and had
been buried in the cemetery there.
For some months she has been ter
ribly afflicted with Lauco Aytheo-
ema-her blood turning to water
and though the best of medical
skill was called nothing could stay
the ravages of the fell destroyer
and she fell asleep to awake on the
other side of the dark river of death.
Those who have kept vigil at poor
Merle's bedside say that before she
died she became living skeleton,
just merely skin and bones. They
have made her grave near the
home of her Grandma and Grandpa
Mitchell, in that southern city. and
covered her cold clay with heap
of mother earth and now all that
we have to remind us of our young
friend is the memory of her bright
face, sprightly nature and the jolly,
rosy checked being she was the last
time we saw her. Her mother and
relatives are Frustrated by her un-
timely death, and our hearts go out
in sympathy to them. She was an
universal favorlte here, and no one
ever heard anyone say aught but a
good word for Merle. Truly
The good die young,
But they whose souls are dry as the sum,
mer's dust burn to their socket"

SPECIAL COMMITTEE AGAIN
DISCUSSED FILTRATION,

The meeting OF the special commit
tee on filtration held yesterday after
noon, was not a lengthy one, and very
little was done beyond the passage of
a resolution directing the chairman and
the clerk OF the committee TO prepare
a report and submit it To the general
committee AT another meeting. This
report is TO cover also the advisability
of going above the source OF pollution
as suggested by one OF the members
last fall with an estimate OF the cost
of building storage reservoirs and lay
ing mains frOm the head OF the Paw
tuxet into the city.
EVu ybody does not look upon such
a plan with favor however, and among
these is city Engineer Clapp. The con-
tention is that such a pressure as con-
tempiated by bringing the water i'm
from the head OF the river bv gravity,
could not be put upon the present
water pipes without a collapse. and
that the plumbing in many OF the
houses would need good deal OF at
tention. The committee decided to
recommend 20 the city council the ap-
pointment OF commission TO confer
with the owners OF land and water
privileges along the Pawtuxet. for the
purpose OF ascertaining the damages
that would be sustained II the city
should decide 20 take the water from
the head OF the river.
While the committee is still divided
in opinion as TO which is the best
method OF filtration. all the members
tcleve that before ANYTHING is done in
the way OF altering the water. the sub
feet OF going above the source OF pollu-
tion should be thoroughly inquired
fptn
