proceeded with other business. Fer his
forgetfulness he begged the pardon OF the
senate Had he done such thing vilful-
", he said. he never could have forgiven
himself.
Mr.. Frye said he had received a letter
from the senior senator from South Car
DINA (Alr. Tnlmen) requesting that he be
heard on a question Of highest privilege.
The chair could rot entertain such a re-
quest in the circumstances without The

PUMPED THE LAKE DRY
Missouri Pacific Is Compelled to Use
River Water st Fort scott.

Fort Scott, Kan, Feb. 27.-The Missouri
Pacific road is no longer pumping mineral
water from the big artificial lake ct Bril-
dal Veil park, situated only a few yards
south Of the shops. The reason they
have stopped using lake mineral water
is because there is no more fluid of this
kind to use. They have pumped it all
out.
Yesterday the last drop that could be
piped was drawn out and there are now
only number of puddles in the messy,
mud bottom Of the lake.
It took the Missouri Pacific a couple OF
months and more to do the job. which
came as both a favor 10 them and to the
park board. The railroad needed water
to run their engines with-the park board
wanted the lake drained so it could be
converted into a monstrous natatorium.
The mineral water did the boilers of the
railroad company no good. but old rail-
readers say that no serious injury was
suffered
River water is now being used by the
Missouri Pacific. but the pumps of the
city water works do not furnish it to
them. They are taking it from the river
with their own pumps. just north of the
Second street bridge east of the park
