Should the dry weather continue
two or three weeks longer this city
will be face to face with water
famine. The lake is getting very
low and it is estimated that the
present rate of consumption will ex.
haust the present water supply in
not to exceed three weeks.
In addition to the extremely dry
season the consumption of water
from the city water works has been
much greater than in any previous
year, the railroad company proba-
bly, taking double the quantity used
bv them heretofore, besides the
,rea. amount consumed by the va
rious factories and private parties.
While it is not probable that we
will have another such dry season
or years to come, the possibility Of
{, and the growing consumption Of
water, make it necessary that somt-
hing be done by the city TO meet
III possible demands in the near

way will be found to solve the prob

says things worthy OF the wisest
sage. In a letter written to the
committee in charge of the celebra-
ton of the admission of Missouri

City, he said among other things
1.-The whole science of things il
turned wrong end to. Life should
begin with age and its privileges
and accumulations, and end with
youth and its capacity to splendidly
enjoy its advantages. As things
are now when in youth dollar will
bring you hundred pleasures, you
can't get il; when you are older you
get it and there's nothing worth
buying with it then. 1t is an epi-
tome of life. The first half of il
consists of the capacity to enjoy,
without the chance, the last nalf
consists Of the chance without the

The Failure Of the Robbers to Make a Rich

which was due to arrive in the Grand
Central Depot Chicago, at o'clock, was
held up by five masked men at 8 o'clock
between Edgemore and Grand Calumet
Heights, Ind, 81 miles out from Chicago.
One of the mail cars, which contained
no money was dynamited and wrecked.
The attempt at robbery was made after
the two mail cars had been detached
from the train and run a quarter of a
mile ahead The failure of the robbers
to make a rich haul was due to the fact
that the express car, which contained the
trains treasure, was in an unusual place

booty the robbers disappeared in the

the tranmen were shot at and had mar
row escapes from the bullets. No person
was injured, either by the dynamite or

Just before climbing into the cab the
three men commenced to fire with their
pistols in order to frighten away all as
sistance to the engineman. The shots
produced the liveliest kind OF a panic in
the sleeping cars, where the passengers
made every Effort to hide their money
and valuables before the robbers could
get at them, No attempt was made,
however, to rob any OF the passengers.
The fysillade had the effect OF making
