1t should be kept in mind in estimat.
ing the receipts and benefits received
from your city waterwOrks that we have
free use of water for the city hall
building, two public schools and one
private school, three public water fount-
aims, all the water used in street sprinkl.
ing aud for fire protection, the cost and
value of the last named use being i'm.
possible to estimate.
The machinery, pumps, boilers, etc.,
are in good working order, due to the
efficient work and care Of Charles O.
Manwiller, your engineer.
The present system of paying for
water is, in my opinion, unjust, unfair
and ne.sided-giving as it does the ad.
vantage to the dishonest, careless con-
sumer who wastes water, and causing
the honest, careful consumer to pay
more for water than he should. This
evil can, in my opinion, only be reme-
died when the amount of water con.
sumed is measured out to each one, and
each oons umer pays only for what he
uses. The result Of putting in water
meters in other towns around us, so fas
as have been able to learn, has been
favorable, saving as it does in the con.
sumption OF coal, the great item of cos,
in operating the works, and stopping
the immense waste Of water by careless
Indifferent consumers, for am satisfied
that it's the waste of water and not tn,
use that causes the cost of our waite,
system.

Attempt to. Break Jail.

When Deputy Sheriff Burdett went to give the prisoners their breakfast Tuesday morning he found 6 surprise awaiting him. The prisoners had cut the bolts which held the lower bar to the door, and afcer removing the bar used it to try to force the door open. The upper bar passes through the lever box in such way that the prisoners could not get at it, and they were un- able to spring the door out more than about two inches. Consequently they failed to get out of the cage. Messrs. Wattron, Jackson and Potter assisted Sheriff Secrist and JailOr Burdett in making search of the jail for the tools used by the prisoners. The prisoners were all removed to the women's cell and thorough examination made of the cage. It was found that the heads of the bolts had been cut with saw which was made from the steel removed from the shank of an old shoe. After failing in their purpose the saw had been broken up into small pieces and stuffed into small crack in joint be- tween two steel plates. A careful search was made for any other tools which might be left in the cage but nothing else was found.
 After the door was repaired by Mr. Armbruster the prisoners were brought in singly and each one carefully searched before being returned to the cage.
 We are fortunate in having such a good jail. The double bars to the door and supreme strength of the door itself frustrated this plan of escape, which they have probably been working on for the past two weeks.-HOlbroOk Argus.

why You Ynwn.

Have you ever observed at a theater
or concert that the people who are most
deeply interested appear between the
acts to be quite weary of the whole
thing, yawning half dozen times in
succession2 The reason Of this is a
physiological one. When your attention
is much absorbed in anything exciting
or touching, you breathe in very shall
low manner and take into your lungs
only half enough air. Consequently,
when your attention is relaxed, you
have to make up the deficiency. This
you do by yawning, which, after all, is
only breathing a very deep breath
If you watch 3 man at play and
observe that he is greatly moved by
some incident, you may feel sure that
when the scene ends he will sigh and a
moment or two later yawn repeatedly.
OF course the yawning, so far from be-
ing sign Of WEAKNESS, is a proof Of
the liveliest appreciation.
Very often you will observe the same
phenomenon in girl reading a novel
And by her yawns you can tell when
the end of some absorbing incident is
reached. Cincinnati Enquirer.

BATTLE WITH SHARKS.
Desperate Encounter In which
Two Man Eaters Were SInin

Desperate Encounter In which
Two Man Eaters Were Slain.
Probably the most desperate fight
which he" ever been witnessed between
a couple of sharks and human being
took place at Havana some time ago
Several fruit peddlers had boarded
large mailboat, and among them was
a swarthy, bare legged Young chap noted
among his comrades as a clever swim
mer. The purser of the vessel was stand
ing by the gangway, holding his child
in his arms, watching Il couple of sharks
that were hanging about the ship. Ac-
cidentally the child fell out of its fa-
Their $ grasp into the water. The father
Immediately jumped overheard and
seized his child, and in moment the
sharks were making for the pair
Seeing the predicament the bare leg
ged young buccaneer dropped his fruit
basket and went over the rail like a
flash.
As the first shark turned on its back
the invariable prelude to biting its
victim-the young fruit seller rose to
the surface, and, with long, keen
edged knife, fairly disemboweled it.
The other was not nearly so easily
disposed of. The shark seemed to real
ice that in the fruit seller he had a
dangerous foe and apparently spared
for an opening Several men on board
the vessel blazed away at the monster
with revolvers, but the young fellow
begged the men to desist, being nm
nerved by the firing. Fish and man
dived alternately, and when the fish did
make for its foe the plucky boy dived
and plunged the knife in its side.
The water was crimson with blood
when the three were hauled safe and
sound to the deck Of the vessel, and
handsome sum Of money was collected
for the victor.
