WANTS A WATER SUPPLY.

The Union says that the people of
Lake Crystal are taking steps to secure
water supply, and for that purpose
public meeting was held few eve!
nings ago and the matter talked over
A good deal of interest was shown and
it was agreed that the village board
make inquiry of the mill company as
to the probable expense of keeping a
standpipe filed with water, or what
they would charge for pumping. 1t
was recommended that the board visit
other towns and cities in the state and
examine the system in use by them
and the cost thereof. Lake Crystal
has a water system for fire protection
which the Union says has paid the
town double the amount expended. 1t
is now desired that water supply be
secured so those along the mains can
have supply. The Union thinks that
there would. be 200 water takers to
such a S. stem and give a revenue of
ST, eco.
This ought to cover all expense and
be great benefit from a sanitary
standpoint. 1t is estimated that it
will cost about So, 900 to complete the
system. Lake Crystal will find it will
be money well spent.

Col. Bryan Addresses Them on the
Sins of Their Party.
SHOULD VOTE WITH DEMOCRATS.
He Declares That Few Who Voted the
Democratic Ticket In 1896 Have
Changed Their Views Since--his
Speech Literally Applauded.

Lincoln, Nebr, Special.-Mr. Bryan
addressed large audience of Saunders
Co. people at Wahoo, the county seat.
Tuesday. The speech was an appeal to
Republicans 10 vote the Democratic
ticket. Giving his reasons for this ap-
peal Mr.. Bryan said: II want to talk
to you Republicans, believeing that
you are just as anxious to help your
fellows By your vote as the Democrats.
the Populists and the Silver Republi
cans are Now, II you were with US in
1896. there is no reason why you should
be against us now unleis the new
questions have changed your opinion
or unless you have changed your opiu
ion on the old questions. But l do noE
believe you can find in this country
any man who voted with us in 1895,
and who understood the issues then be-
fore the country who has changed his
mind on those issues and now believes
that the Republican party was right in
1896 ! believe you will find many
people who were against us on the old
issues, who are now with us on the
new ones and will be on the old ones
We had among the men in 1895 who
came to us On the silver question Re.
publicans who were not willing to turn
over and vote the Republican ticket
just because the Republican party had
changed its position on the money
question; Republicans who were ear
nest in 1888 when they denounced
the gold standard; Republicans who
were in earnest when they advocated
bi-metalism in 1892, and therefore thev
refvsed 10 take the Republican posi-
ton on the money question in 1896
And when they got out Of the Republi-
can party and began looking at the Re-
publican party from the outside they
found that the same vicious principles
ran through all the Republican doc
trines. and today they are with US,
not only on the silver question. but
uron the all the new questions also"
He spoke at length on the financial
question and the trust issue. His
speech was well received and literally
applauded.

From the Atlanta Journal.
The Seaboard Air Line has put its
foot down on employees who do not pay
their debts. A circular has been issued
that employees of the company who do
not pay up will be dropped from its
employe. The circular goes on to say:
The practice of employees permitting
amounts due them on account OF wages
to be garnisheed by parties to whom
they are Indebted is a serious annoy
ance to our paymaster, and interfereS
materially with the efficient discharge
of his duties. 1t is therefore ordered
that Immediately upon the service OF
any garnishee process upon any offi-
Ger Of this company, that such officer
at once advise by telegraph the general
counsel and paymaster, the name or
the employe whose wages are gar
nisheed; how and where employed:
the amount due him from the company
on the date Of service Of process;
whether married or single, and the
hour and date Of service, that immedi-
ately uEon receipt Of notice the poy-
master will advise the division super
intendents OF the facts Of the case and
division superintendents will make
record of the same, and if it appear
that the wages Of the said employe
have at any time heretofore been gar
nisheed, then the superintendent shall
at once discharge said employees ffom
the service CT the company.
THE practice of the employees giving
orders upon the paymaster for amounts
due or to become due Is prohibited, and
If any such order is at any time here
after given. the paymaster is hereby
prohibited from accepting, or paying
the same; that he shall at once notify
the superintendent Of the division up
on which the party giving such order
is employed, and said superintendent
shall make a record OF the fact and
discharge the party giving the order
from the service Of the company. Di-
vision superintendents are enjoined to
enforce this regulation firmly, as 1t is
necessary to an efficient service. and
the company can not continue in its
service men who interfere with the
successful operation of the paymas-
ter's department by failure to meet
their obligations"

Jas. Riley says; If the hos cholera
should break out on our own farm.
then all the pigs that have been ex-
posed to it should be confined in small
lots SO as not to spread the disease on
the farm. The pig that has the cholera
should be confined in pen TO itself.
and it should be sprayed three or four
times each day with chloro-naphtho-
leum twenty parts water to one Of the
chloro. and the floor of the pen should
be kept white with slaked lime. and if
the pig died. if it can be done. haul
some logs and wood and burn it in the
