UNIQUE SUIT FOR DAMAGES,

cause 1t Could Not Extin.
guish q Fire.

A lawsuit, unique in the jurispru.
dence of the state of California, is
now on trial at Ukiah. The city of
Ukiah, says San Francisco exchange.
has sued the local waterworks com
pany for loss of $570.75 by reason of
a fire which could not be extinguished
because there was no water in the
hydrants. The waterworks system
OF the place consists of a pumping
plant on the bank of the Russian
river, by which the water is raised to
a reservoir on the side of the noun
tain: from which it is distributed bv
natural pressure. Fire hydrants are
located at all the prominent corners.
On the night of the fire in question
the agent of the water company had
shut off the water in order to stop
the practice of irrigating private
lawns in the night time. By reason
of this man had to run half mile
to the reservoir to turn on the water.
The delay was fatal, as the block in
which the fire originated was almost
completely destroyed. Then the city
made a demand upon the company
for the loss sustained by the city
property. The demand was refused
on the ground that the water COM
pany is not an insurer against fire.
The prosecution holds, however, that
under the terms of it's franchise the
water company is bound to maintain
at all times sufficient pressure of wa
ter for all purposes, of course includ-
ing the extinguishment of conflagra-
tions. Should the city win the case
all the other losers by the same fire
will have a cause of action.

make it from a list on which money
had been collected by another. I
do not accuse the mayor of "steal-
ing" any portion of the funds col
lected but do say that the s16 above
noted was neither collected by me
nor in any way was it brought to
my attention 50 that proper credit
might be given. It is up to him to
acknowledge collecting the $1,000
and am pleased he has tried to
clear himself as we'll as he has in
the above communication. AS my

SECRETARY'S STATEMENT.

SECRETARY'S STATEMENT,
Since publishing my report of all
moneys received by me and passing
through my hands for the 4th of
July celebration, it has come to my
notice that Chairman Thompson
had collected money from the Bank
of Virginia, Ned X. Farrand and B.
F. Britts and instead of turning
over this money to me when was
appointed secretary of the COM
mittee, he gave Mr.. Cuppernull SIP
cash for printing and afterwards
gave the $500 check of Mr.. Far
rand's to the treasurer. Thus it
can be seen that I could not very
we'll give credit to anyone when
their money did not pass through
my hands. I made my collections
and gave receipts to all donors,
as my stubs will show, and my
stubs will also compare with Treas

DEAD TO HER FAMILY.
HiGh-Caste Hind00 Girl Who Wa,

name is Sooboonagam Animal, which is
shortened to Sooboo for purposes OF
friendly conversation, says an eastern
contemporary.
Sooboo is particularly interesting
from the fact that she belongs to I
high-caste family-a caste deemed su.
perior in India to ordinary mortal as.
ISOLATION. The girl heard the mission
preachers at first with contempt, but
she ended by running away from he1
aristocratic home to the mission and
said she had become a Christian. In
leaving her gods behind her she LETT
also her jewels.
First the angry and desperate fathe,
came to the mission and threatened te
put Sooboo's new friends in jail for kid.
naping. The girl was produced and
elected to stay where she was. The
father went away uttering the final
word, "Outcast!" which is q sentence
of death"
But soon the broken-hearted mother
who never goes forth and whose visit
to the mission was contamination
came and pleaded with Sooboo to re.
turn to the home of those who had
reared her and had loved her. The girl
declared her love for her mother, but
refused to go back. Then came fu.
neral services, as of one dead. The
mother, called "accursed" because OF
her visit to the mission, could not be
present, but walked 1000 miles to the
river Ganges and held mourning serv.
ice there. Then she came home and
walled up the door of Sooboo's room.

MISUSE THEIR JEWELRY.
4 Dealer Declares That Women Ill
( Treat Their Rings and
Watches.

Women, a certain jeweler declares,
ill-treat their rings to about the same
extent that they do their watches, and
are, therefore,, really fit to possess
neither. 1t.'
Of course, it doesn't fnjure a ring to
put it on cold marble slab at night,
nor to drop it occasionally to the brick
pavement, but it does ruin the settings
of the jewels, he says, to have tight
glove pulled on over them. Yet there
is hardly member of the sex, unless
she wears so many finger ornaments
that it's impossible to get glove over
them, who does not subject them tc
such severe treatment, and wonders
and mourns when she loses a stone she
values.
One young woman always ties her
rings up in the corner of her handker"
chief when she puts on her gloves. and
then tucks her handkerchief up he1
sleeve, and she considered this very
good way until she lost the mouchoi1
with its contents of four the other day.
when she began to believe she'd beer
little thoughtless with her treasurer
says the Kansas City Journal.
1t is said by the porters of sleeping
cars and the matrons Of the various
public places, however, that fewer
rings are left now on washstands thar
was the case few years ago, and this
is probably because large proportion
of womankind seems to have made it {,
rule to keep such ornaments in their
mouths while they bathe their hands.
A woman with a mouthful of jewels
isn't beautiful sight, but she's an IL
lustration of a certain sort of care, and
1t is very refreshing one, when one
considers the number who are forever
having to advertise some valuable mis-.
laid through their own carelessness.

Relative to the $500 of allegedly
uncollected money on the Band
subscriDtion list. At the time the
list was brought to us for publica-
ton by Mayor Thompson, he posi-
lively and unequivocally stated, in
the presence of witness. that the
entire sum of $1O5.OO shown as SUBJ
scribed had been collected. This
statement may coincide with the
present contention of Mr.. Thompson
that but $4,000 of the amount was
collected; we leave it for our read
ers to figure it out as best they may,
trusting their finer feelings may
not permit them to think the Mayor
has either stated or acted a false
hood in the premises.

Like unto the fable of the little
tadpole who sat on the banks of the
river gazing with wonder on a cane
brake and talking with it's mother
OF the green leaves and great stalks,
may be compared the explanation
of Mayor Thompson on the 4th of
July funds, when taken in conjunc-
ton with the treasurer's report and
statement of the secretary, as
above published. As they gazed a
sudden tempest swept over the val
ley and the wind tore the canebrake
in pieces. A broken cane floating
down the stream caught the eye of
the mother, who drew her child's
attention to it. "See," she saia, chow
strong and healthy the cane looked;
but it is really only pith and empti-
ness"

SOME EXPLANATIONS

To THE EDITOR OF THE VIRGINIA
ENTERPRISE AND OTHERS INTER
ESTED:
Permit me to make reply to an ar
ticle which appeared in The Enter
prise of Sept. Goth, which called at
tention to some errors in account
ing for money contributed for the
4th of July celebration by the Bank
of Virginia, Ned X. Farrand and B.
F. Britts, in all $1,000, and which
The Enterprise advises that appli-
cation be made to me in order to be
found. Allow me to say that this
money has been in the hands
of the treasurer OF the 4th of
July Committee, Mr.. w. R. Wasson,
since July 3rd, some of it before
that time. Further, that the origi-
nal subscription list was at all
times, since July 3rd up to Sept.
24th, in the hands of the secretary
of the committee, A. E. Bickford,
and on it appears the names of the
Bank of Virginia $1,000, Ned X. Far
rand $500 and B. F. Britts $1.OO, all
of which are crossed off as havi1g
paid their subscriptions. The COM
mittee report for publication was
prepared by tine secretary and why
he left off the above names is not
for me to say but for him. Even if
he did not handle this money or if
he suspected me of having misap-
propriated it or stolen it, it was no
good reason why he should with
hold the names of the donors in
making public the names of the
subscribers. At the time that
signed the committee report for
publication the original list was
not shown with it and I supposed
that the one handed me by the sec
retary was true copv of the origi-
nal list of paid subscriptions. The
Enterprise has developed the fact
that it was not and I thank the edi-
tor for bringing it to my notice and
am glad of the opportunity to give
each one credit for their liberal
contribution.
At this time let me also explain
the apparent discrepancy in the re-
ceipts and disbursements of Mr..
Byrne, chief of the Fire Dep. and
myself, in acting as committee to
get funds to defray the expense of
taking the band to Hibbing during
the tournament. We received sub
scriptions of $1,000, of this amount
$500 is still outstanding and $4,000
was, as published in The Enter
prise, paid to the band. We pub
lished the list in full, as the $500
not yet collected is coming from
relia BILE party and will no doubt be
paid. The reason we did not get it
at the time was that the gentleman
was not at home when Mr.. Byrne
called to get it. When we get this So
we have agreed to put it in the
Firemen's fund.
Respectfully submitted,
A. N. THOMPSON.
