Menace to the Public.

The new reservoir has been in
use since last Saturday, the leaks
in the wooden stave pipe line hav-
ing been repaired. The old city
water tank is still kept full of
water, probably to prevent it col
lapsing from its own weight. 1t
ought to be torn down as soon as
the new reservoir is in shape to be
relied upon. An ounce Of preven-
ton is worth a pound of cure, and
immediate action will probably
save the town big damage suit.

SPRINGS STORM.SWEPT.
Colorado Springs Suffers Great
Damage From Fierce Storm
Seventy Mile Wind.

Colorado Springs, Nov. 2i-One OF the
most destructive storms that have been
experienced in Colorado in years swept
over this city today, commencing at ten
o'clock this morning, the wind increas-
ing in velocity until one o'clock, when it
attained velocity Of seventy miles an
hour. the greatest ever known at this
place.
Among the structures whish have been
demolished or damaged are the Colorado
Springs Electric Cos buildings, three
steel stacks being blown down; the high
school building, which suffered severe
damage, large part of the slate roof and
brick work being blow.n away. The
Temple theatre had the iron roof ripped
of in large sections, and many business
blocks are also badly damaged, roofs and
cornices being olown Of.
During tho few hours of the storm, fire
alarms were sent in, and whom the de-
partment herses had to run against the
wind it was almost impossible for thsm
to make any speed. Happily in all cases
the fires we're e1tinguished. II any Of
these had gained headway it would have
been impossible to save the city.
The wind blow mostly from the noi tn
west, but changed its direction frequently.
The streets we're nlled with trees, bro
ken signs, sections OF roofs and other de-
bris. The telephone and telegraph wires
are all down, there being no sommunica-
ton with Denver.
There is ne light in the city tonight, as
the damage to the system can not very
readily be repaired.
Full details have net yet been received
from the different portions of the city,
and it is feared that these will show that
a number of persons have been injured
from falling debris.
The scatfolding on Stratton's now min
ing exchange building at Pixies Peak
and Nevada avenues, and that around
the Antlers hotel on Cascade avenue,
both OF which are in the process Of con-
struction, were blown down and scat
tered along the avenues.

have taken a nip to keep the chills off,
but never on any other occasion. He

ended right there, and he became world
famous as a result. A whole hem
isphere and millions of people owe him
a debt of gratitude and will remember
his name forever because Of his abb
stinence. The lesson taught by the pic
ture is plain to all. Get drunk, and you
will be sent to. the island for 80 days;
remain sober, and you will become fG-
mosu.
My friends, let me give you the pic
ture of George Washington as he was
about to cross the Delaware and gain a
great victory over the British. You
observe that George Is lying drunk
with his feet on chair while the pa
triot army waits for him to take the
lead. You murmur and are aghast.
You never heard that the Father of
His Country got jag on. No more
did he. I give you this picture as
a nobject lesson, and I ask you where
this country would have been to-day
had George gone off on a hoopla at a
critical moment? In those old colonial
days there was corn juice around by
the barrel, and it was easier to get
drunk than to roll out of bed, but
Washington was a man to withstand
temptation. On IL different occasions,
as l figure ii, had he gone off on a
tear, instead of attending 10 business.
this country would not now be the
United States. never hail him as the
great and noble without also blessing
him for not filling up with corn juice.
The analogy is plain TO the dullest
mind. Get drunk and fall over your
self and roll around in the catnip, and
you'll die unknown and unwept. Let
whisky and beer alone, except when or
dered for cramps, and a nation will
sorrow at your death ard raise monu-
ments to you for a thousand years
after.
The name of John Hancock must al
ways be associated with the Declara-
ton of independence. His name was
the first to go down. His was the first
neck to be put into the halter ! give
you his picture. He is limpsy drunk
