The New Well.

The HERALD is informed by r.
Frank StinSon, a member of the COM
mite appointed to locate the new
we'll, that the site for the we'll has
been agreed upon, and the committee
has recommended to the council that
well 80 feet in diameter and so feet
deep be dug at the place selected by
the committee. The we'll is to be
walled with stone and the committee
is negotiating with parties for white
store to be used for that purpose. So
far they have been unable to come to
an understanding in regard to the
white stone as the parties owning it
are too high in their price, in the
Judgment Of the committee. How
ever, if it is impossible to agree upon
the white rock, the idea will be aban-
dOned and the well will be walled with
black rock which will make a good
| wall, so that the work will not be de-
layed on that account.
Several bids have been received by
the committee for the contract of dig
ging the well, all the bids so far being
from people outside of this city, and
up to this time no bids have been re-
ceived from citizens Of PhlllipSburg.
Bids are open to all and the commit
tee will be pleased to consider any bid
which may be filed with them. Bids
will be received at the office of R.
FrBnk Stinson or NJ. W. Hartman.
The work will be commenced as
soon as possible and will, we trust,
settle the water question for all time
| to come.

Queen Victoria Dead.

Queen Victoria died at Osborne cas-
tie, one of her favorite residences, at
6:30 p. m. Tuesday, Jan. %. The
greatest event in the memory of this
generation, the most stupendous
change in existing conditions that
could possibly be imagined, took place
vuietly, almost gently, upon the ami
versary of the death of Queen Victor
ia S father, the Duke of Kent.
Around her were gathered almost
every descendant of her line. Well
within view of her dying eyes there
hung a portrait of the prince consort.
It was he who designed the room and
every part of the castle in which she
died.
Albert Edward, the prince of Wales,
now reignS in her stead. He assumed
the title of Edward VII. There is nc
question but Victoria has been the
wiseSt and best sovereign England
ever had. 1t remains to be seen
whether Edward VII. will be as wise.
If he prove as cratic as his nephew,
the German emperor, it may well be
propheSied that the British empire
will go to pieces or become vast re-
public of eonfederated states.

Died of Smallpox.

Word came from Aimena this morn
ing of the death, from smallpox, of
Tink Reed, postmaster at that city.
Mr.. Reed was taken sick last Thurs
day with what proved to be smallpox
and died yesterday.
Mr.. Reed was for some years editor
of the Almena Plaindealer and was
we'll known among the newspaper
men of Kansas as a bright, forceful
writer of more than ordinary ability,
and young man of great promise.
He was appointed postmaster at AL
mena in the early days of Mckinley S
administration and held the position
until the time of his death. He was
brother of Todd Reed, of Smith
Center, who is well to the citizens of
this city.
This is the first victim, so far as we
have heard, of the disease in this part
of the state and only serves to show
the wisdom Of taking every precaution
to prevent it's spread.
