knew him. Mrs. Geo. MoKim, of this
city, is a sister of the deceased. The
funeral will take place Sunday after
moor at two o'clock. The interment
will be made at Warrenton.
The Water Board requests the peo-
pie to be saving in the use OF water,
and if they will use economy they can
make it possible for the water supply
in the reservoir to last the city while
the new pump is being connected next
Sunday. Considerable trouble is caused
by the ice in the river and that makes
it very hard to keep the reservoir fli-
ed and the city fully supplied. On Sat-
urday morning all the mills and fac
tories which receive their supply from
the city will be asked to close down
in the morning in place OF at noon. It
is hoped that the people will heed the
warning and save themselves much In
convenience and also give the city hre
protection. Ii is not thought 1t will
require much time to make the con-
nection.

Ntn mil Power Tor Dynamos.

A Aew idea for utilizing the power of the wind in order to produce elec- tricity has just been made known. Hindmills are too uncertain to permit 9f their being used for driving dyna- mos, so it is proposed that windmills be used to pump water into a high reservoir or tank, and this water would drive dynamo in an ordinary way by means of turbine. Although the windmill might work ftfully, it would be sufficient to keep up a con- stant supply of water so that the pro. auction of electricity would be con- tinuous.
