WATER WORKS.
More Extensive improvement, s
to be Made.

The Water Company has planned
some more extensive improvements
in its works to be made at once. IL
will double the filtering capacity at
the stand-pipe and will build three
settling basins on the west side of the
pumping station. The improvements
made this spring insured an abund-
ance of water and good pressure, but
the company is short on filtering and
settling capacities. This will now be
remedied at cost of from SIS 900 to
$4,000. The work will be completed
within sixty days.
The. company is now pumping an
immense quantity of water, over a
million and half gallons each "a
hours. The town is mighty dry"
and it Is hard to slake the thirst.
One of the big boilers at the pump
ing station played out on Friday, and
two experts from Ottumwa came up
Saturday to make repairs.

HOT IN KANSAS.
Travelling Man Tells of An Experience
Down There.

A travelling man from Kansas City,
who is working north for the benefit
of his health, put up at the Downing
last night. He has just made a tour
of Kansas, speaking of the weather
there he said that in one of the towns
recently visited by him farmer was
driving along the street with a load
of pop corn. The bottom fell out of
his wagon and let the corn out on
the hot pavement. Before he could
get around to pick it up it began to
pop like pepper over a red hot
stove, and the street was soon solid
mass of spotless pop corn. Just then
an old nag came ambling along with
a straw hat perched rakishly over
one ear. He looked at the corn, and
being of a highly imaginative turn of
mind, the animal thought it was
snow and he laid down and froze to
death.

Says the New Sharon Star: 1.-THE
directors of the New Sharon District
Fair association have decided to not
have any fair this season. The drouth
has so affected stock and crops that
not more than an inferior showing
could be made, and it was wise con-
clusiou to drop the matter entirely
for this year. So far but little ex-
pense has been incurred, and the
course adopted was an easy way out
of a bad situation. Preparations for
next year will not be neglected, and
all will hope for such success then as
would be utterly impossible now"
