Many Trouble. of Her Own.

Loren P. Merrill OF Paris tells the
story of the particular old woman, and
he makes her a resident of Livermore.
She was not only old. but she was
of the worrying, fretting species of
antiquity. She had fretted away her
friends and relatives. until she was at
length living alone in small house in
the outskirts of the town. Just as she
was retiring one bitter cold night, she
discovered that but one unlighted
match remained In the house. She lay
awake until almost daylight, worrying
and disturbing herself with wondering
If the match was good. AT last she got

The recent death Of one laundress

was a coke fire. both OF them overcome
while awake and working and in
large room full Of doors and windows,
recalls the graphic account given by
DR.. A. E. Miller of the wholesale
poisoning which occurred by. this
same gas, carbon mon-oxide. at the
Snaefell mining disaster. A rescuing
party was overtaken by the gas and
one of their number kept writing a
description of his sensations as long
as his pencil would trace the words.
He wrote:
I'VE all sat without moving or try
ing to escape; the foot of the ladder
was close by yet none Of us made any
effort to go to 1t and ascend even a
single rung. We none OF us tried to
walk dozen steps, which would have
led US to the other side Of the shaft

the New York Times. The carbon
mon-oxide, which is present in the So
called water gas (Which has largely
replaced the old-fashioned coal gas IN
the large cities) to the extent of 20 or
30 per cent. Its insidious and para
lyxing nature may be seen from the
way in which the rescuing party sim
ply sat down and waited for death,
when a few steps would have saved
them, and in the fact that two able
bodied, healthy women were overcome
while wide awake and not six feet from
several doors and windows. The dan
gerous stealthiness of this gas seems to
be due to its gradual combination
with the haemoglobin OF the blood
(Which Is the agent carrying oxygen
to the tissues and removing the waste
carbon dioxide). into a very stable
compounds stable,in fact that 1t pre-
vents the usual absorption of oxygen
in the lungs and thus really brings
about an asphyxiation of the tissues.
1t is the poisonous gas given of from
burning charcoal, which is sometimes
used for suicidal purposes.

Knowing that her curiosity was not

No sooner was the Widow Rice out of

letter and opened it with trembling
fingers. She drew forth from the vel

heavy paper embossed at the top with

the wreath was written in the same
bold, firm hand that was on the en-

many millions more than in 1893, yet
his benefactions show an increase of

Burus can demonstrate to the city
that it will pay him and pay the city

TEN, it is up to the mayor. city coun-
ell and water commissioner to pro-
pose an equally economic scheme for
the municipal operation Of the pres
ent plant. If they cannot do this the
council would better turn over the
entire management of the plant to
Joe Burns or some other wizard and
charge them a stiff rate for the con-
cessiOn to sell water to the people of
the city Of Lincoln. Ut course this
would mean the adjustment of the
office of water commissioner and some
of the firemen of the different pump
ing stations would lose their jobs. as
under an economical regime the diff
ferent plants would he consolidated
into one where one fireman would be
enabled to do the work OF several.
For this reason it is not likely that
the city will be able to supply water
to the people any more cheaply or in
a more sufficient volume than at
present.
