A TYPICAL SOUTH AFRICAN
STORE

o. r. Larson of Bay Villa, Sundays
River. Cape Colony. conducts store
typical of South Africa, at which can
be purchased anything from the pro-
verbal needle to an anchor" This
store is situated in a valley nine miles
from the nearest railway station and
about twenty-five miles from the near
est town. Mr.. Larson says: IT am
favored with the custom of farmers
within a radius of thirty miles, to
many of whom 1 have supplied Cham
berlain's remedies. All testify to their
value in a household where a doctors
advice is almost out of the question.
Within one mile of my store the popu-
lation is perhaps sixty. OF these,
within the past twelve months, no
less than fourteen have been absolute
ly cured by Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. This must surely be a
record" For sale by all druggists.

The basin will hold about 150,000O00
gallons. The Mann privileges next be-
low the dam upon which work is now
in progress when developed Will pro-
vide for storage of another 100000 900
gallons. Mr. Mcclure said yesterday
that it was the intention to begin WORK
repairing the dam at the big Paxton
reservoir as soon as the saw mill priv
ilege dam is completed.
According to estimates of Mr.. NC.
Clure covering a space of several years
the watershed about Worcester reser-
voirs is far in advance of the average
in this part of the country. The aver
age shed per square mile for New Eng
land is about 100000 gallons per day,
while the country about the Worcester
water system yields about 100000 gal
Ions per square mile per day. Under
existing conditions 1t is estimated that
it will take about five years to fill the
Metropolitan BASIN The watershed of
Holden reservoir is about 2,400,000,0o0
gallons annually. Estimating the rain
fall of yesterday at two inches and as
suming that about so per cent would be
collected it was estimated that
200, 900, 900 gallons would be collected by
the reservoirs yesterday. All brooks
were flowing full yesterday.
Mr. Mcclure also gave an interesting
explanation of what causes the water
to have an unpleasant taste at certain
seasons of the year. The trouble comes
in the spring and fall when the water
in the reservoirs practically turns over
by reason of the change in tempera-
ture. The stagnant water comes to
the surface and is drawn into the
mains and then the populace kicks for
a few days.
When all reservoirs are full, includ-
ing the new basins at Holden and on
Kettle Brook, there will be stored
3 475, 900 900 gallons, distributed among
the several reservoirs as follows:
Lynde Brook. 6S1 100000 gallons; Hol-
den, 1923 100000 gallons; new Holden,
500, 100000 gallons; Paxton, $50, 000, 900
gallons; saw mill privilege, 10000 900;
Mann privilege, 100000 gallons;
$4,000, 900 gallons.
A new house for the keeper at Holden
reservoir is to be constructed near the
small distributing reservoir below the
principal basins and when this is done
the Tatnuck Brook system will be COM
pleted

THE PAN AMERlCAN STAMPS
Beautiful Series Illustrates Com
manding Position of a Great R. R.

One of the most striking illustrations
of the intimate relations existing be-
tween American railroads and all other
commercial interests is set forth in the
"Pan-American Series" of postage
stamps issued by the Postmaster Gen
eral May l, 1901.
This series also demonstrates the
commanding position of the New York
Central and the fact that 1t is in touch
with and an integral part of the COM
merce of the world.
The Pan-American series of postage
stamps consists of six beautiful steel
engavings printed in two colors. pro-
ducing the effect of framed picture.
Each of these stamps represents what
is styled an laid to commerce." and,
curiously enough, and without any de-
sign on the part of those who planned
the series, each subject is associated
with the New York Central.
The stamps are as follows:-
The one-cent stamp represents Fast
Lake Navigation"
Steamers of this character on each of
the great lakes of America run In con-
nection with the trains of the New
York Central lines.
The two-cent stamp is picture of
the New York CentraPs Empire State
Express, from a photograph by A. P.
dltS u CyIdCuSes ldken When Inc
train was running sixty-four miles an
hour-a very appropriate laid to COM
merce."
The four-cent stamp represents an
automobile of the same style as those
used in the New York Central Cab
Service at Grand Central Station, New
York
The five-cent stamp gives a beauti-
full picture of the steel arch bridge
over the Niagara River at Niagara
Falls.
On one side of the Niagara River
from Buffalo to Lake Ontario are the
tracks of the New York Central, on
the other side, those of the Michigan
Central; the latter which is a New
York Central line, crosses the Niagara
River on The new cantaliver bridge
just below the arch bridge
shown on the stamp and in plain view
Of the falls.
The eight-cent stamp shows the
locks at Sault Ste. Marie.
1t is through these locks that the
New York Central steamers pass on
their trips between Buffalo and Du-
luth.
The ten-cent stamp gives an illustra-
tion of a modern ocean steamship.
1t is with steamships of this charac-
ter on both the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans that the New York Central lines
run in connection, and over which the
New York Central tickets passengers
to every country on the globe-From
the Brooklyn Standard Union.

SISSON FINDS TROUBLE
GOES WITH HIS JOB

Poundkeeper George w. B. Sisson

at a loss to know what to do with.
About a week ago the police seized a

stolen from the American Steel & Wire
Company. 1t was supposed that the rig
was owned by Barnett Friedman, who
was arrested at the time, but Fried
man denied ownership of the property.
The horse was killed, on order of
Robert Dyson, agent of the Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and
the wagon is housed at the city sta

George Barr was born in Chilli
Gothic. Ohio, July 29. 1859, where
he lived on farm and went to
school until he became OF age.
In 1880 he took Horace Greeley's
advice and came west TO grow up
with the country, settling III Ere
donia, Kan. and working on a
farm in that vicinity untIl the tall
OF 1855. In that year he moved
to Syracuse. Kan taking up
claim. After four years trisl he
decided that ii was useless to try
TO make western Kansas bloom and
blossom as the rose and gave II up
as bad Job In 1850 he came to
La unta, his first work being with
the English Lumber Company.
who established a ward IN La unta
that year. In the spring OF 1890
he went TO work for the Santa
Re, remaining in the service OF
the company until the fall of 1893,

held the Office OF marshal until the
spring OF 1896, when he again en-.
tered the service of the Santa Fe,

until the fall OF 1897, when he was
nominated by the republicans OF

nominated by the republicans Of

and was elected over A. c. Ken
nedy, the cinch fusion candidate,
by majority of 4oI, the largest
majority received by any republi-
can candidate that wear
Sheriff Barr was nominated by
the republicans OF Otero county
last month for the third time by
acclammation, which is the best
evidence of the esteem in which
heis held by his party friends. and
on election day the esteem and
confidence which the voters of
Otero county have in our present
sheriff will be in evidence in large
chunks.
