BREWERY METERS SET BACK
COMPANY WILL BE COMPELLED To PAY
S7.-31 - FOR UNREGISTERED
WATER.

Commissioner Doughertv Of the Department
of Water Supply. Gas and Electricity yester-
day received a report from Edward J. I.onigan
one OF his inspectors through Deputy Commits
sioner De Long. of one OF the largest water
Irregularities that has been unearthed since
the first of the year. From the figures obtained
the Central Brewing Company's building at
Sixty-eIghth-st and Avenue A. Deputy Com
missioner De Long has figured out how much
water the brewery ought to have paid for had
the meters not been tampered with. He has de
cided that the company must pay 81 .531 ~
for unregistered water consumed since June
II, 1900 According to Mr. De Long. the com
pany has been using unregistered water worth
about S12 80 each day. There are three meters
in the building. and Inspector Lonigans report
shows that each one has been tampered with
at various times. that the pointers are loosened
and that the indexes can be changed at will.
The report further asserts that the first meter
was set back some 100000 feet between May
Il and ~. the second meter set back
100000 feet about the same time and the third
was set back 1000 feet some time prior to
April III.
Mr. De Long. who has charge of all meter
Irregularities called one of the officers of the
brewing Compan.' to his office yesterday after
noon and asked for explanation of the ir-
regularity. The brewer declared that the me
ters must have been tampered with by some
enemy of the company out of spite, in the
hone that the thing might he discovered and
the company called to account He said fur
ther that the brewery had a we'll, from which IL
drew most of its water. and that only small
quantity of city water was used The COM

PRETORIA NOT SURE OF PEACE
OPTIMISM IS HARDLY WARRANTED BY THE
FACTS.

Pretoria. May 26-The prevalence throughout
South Africa of the optimistic feeling in regard
to the peace negotiations is hardly based upon
solid facts. The protraction of the conference
vereeniging is not necessarily hopeful sign.
The delegates to the conference although they
have abandoned their hopes of securing inde
pendence still have many points Of difference
with the government. while obstinate mi
norty continues TO regard the resumption of
hostilities the best outcome of the present
situa ton, and at any moment these points OF
difference may be accentuated into a refusal to
continue the negotiations.
IL is most unlikely that those who are in favor
of peace will throw UP the sponge 80 long as

Kingston, n. Y. May 26.-This region of the
Hudson River Valley is again infested with the
brown caterpillars that caused so much distress
and damage last summer and fall. Hewitt
Boyce, a prominent business man of this city,
thinking to secure the destruction of the worms
in the neighborhood OF his garden and orchard.
advertised a few days ago that he would pay
10 cents for every quart jar filled with caterpil-
lars that brought to him. Now, after three
days the jars filled with the wriggling insects
pouring in upon him. and he has already
paid for seven hundred of them. to the tune of
$40 while every hour of the day men, women
and children. young and old, are coming in
with their game.
Each jar contains about twelve hundred
worms and nearly million of the insects have
thus been destroyed in three days. Mr. Boyce
is still paying, although the business far ex-

Woman Suffrage in Colorado.

A correspondent from Denver in q long article to the New York Times makes a careful analysis of the women's vote in Colorado. That this new vote is a thorn in the flesh of the political boss, there is no doubt. This the most positive tendency developed by this campaign has been toward in dependence. Women are not afraid to scratch their ballots; they are not in of the party chairmen are that the women are the hardest lot to herd that they ever have encountered. They will kick over the traces" if a candidate upon moral grounds-and that they will not hold their noses and vote the party ticket straight" has caused more than one political boss in Colorado to swear unprintable swears.
 Club women have shown themselves keenly alive to the investigation of the social problems that have their solu- tion dirctly or indirectly through poli- tics, and as the work of the clubs is broadening, the independent movement among women voters is extending into new channels. That Colorado has voted this year upon seven amendments to the state constitution has called for investigation not usually made by the average voter, and women have been foremost in looking into these ques- tions. Club women, though not com prising q majority of the women of the state,are the majority of those who vote. and they have studied systemat- ically these questions, not from a par tisan. but from a good citizenship standpoint.
 It seems to be a mistake to say that the more refined women take no part or interest in politics. Colorado women vote ito a man." and the clubwomen, while not in all cases the society lead CTS, are said to be in the front rank in thought and action.

The success of the Young Mems called into existence a Young Mems Buddhist Association. modelled on the same lines, and aiming to inspire not only religious but patriotic sentiments it was founded almost a score of years ago. the leaders in it belonging to the highest nobility in the empire, its membership is rather limited, though more numerous than that of the Chris tian order. and asserted to be growing more rapidly. It is not at all hostile to the Christian society, and seeks the same ends, which are to give the young men of the country higher ideals of life and conduct. and to make better and more useful, as well as more pious token of the liberality and catholicity of their principles that they promote lawn tennis and ping pong among their members, while they censure and for bid dissipation, careless living, neglect of the Buddhist tenets and all actions which are contrary to good morals. as well as good manners. the two being closely united according to Japanese ideas. There is room in the populous island empire for both societies, and neither need be jealous or afraid of the other.

Mrs. Nation and Mrs. Vanderbilt.

It may be said with the utmost ac- ccuracy and even without an apology for the employment of a trite figure of speech, that extremes met when Carrie Nation approaches Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt at the New York horse show yesterday and rebuked the extrava- gence displayed by the wife of the young multi millionaire in the matter If her raiment.
 Mrs. Nation may aptly compared to a root out of dry ground" While sine is by nc means void, she is nevertheless without form, and there is no comeli- ness in her face or frame to delight the casual eye. In contrast with her squat form, which she chooses to drape with conspicuous severity, and her stubby face, the svelte and youthful Mrs. Van 1erbiit, with her modish gown and her fascinating millinery, presented a real vision of grace and loveliness.
 Why should you spend your money on clothes and in adorning your person when you should be laying it up in good works, that will see your way into heaven?" shouted the Kansas smasher as she approached the Wander bilt box. Just look at mine," contin- ued the Home Defender, as she picked up the folds of her seedy black shirt made with an ostentatious purpose not to conceal her fat feet. This dress may be coarse and rough, but it is good enough to cover my sins" a met 2phOr that showed some slight con fusion, but under the circumstances it was probably not noted by Mrs Van derbilt, who then and there rose to an altitude of diplomacy, which easily en- titles her to a place in history with Semiramis, Dido. Cleopatra and other great queens and sirens Of antiquity. Please write to me- responded the young matron, as she patled the pudgy hand of the smasher. That settled it. Carrie was subjugated at once, and was easily induced by an officer of the horse show to pass on.
 It is needless to speculate on what might have happened had Mrs. Van derbiit shown a disposition to be naughty or resentful to the Kansas Pythoness. A reformer who will dash down glasses out of which wine bib bers are drinking, and who will snatch cigars out of the mouths of smokers might not hesitate, under the spur of righteous wrath and zeal, 70 tear the clothes from a feminine object of her dlspleasure. By the exercise Of her superb tact, young Mrs. Vanderbilt. who should be made secretary of state under the first woman president of the United States. preserved her temper. her dignity ard her raiment. and in dicated line of treatment which might ameliorate Carrie Nation to q marvellous degree.
 Let the next saloon keeper who is as sailed by Carrie take a lesson from the admirable example Of Mrs. Vanderbilt and say, in his most conciiiatory tones:
 My dear madam. allow ne to offer you creme de meRthe CT a pousse cafe or a white chartrouse, and pray be seated while you assimilate it." In the light of the horse show incident. there is no telling what the result of such pacific treatment would be. It would be at least well worthy of a triaL-Kansas City Star.

The Proper Judges.

Our good friends, the Arizona pro hibitionists, resolved the other day that the anti-canteen law must remain on the statute books. It would never do to restore the canteen system in the army, and enable the soldiers to ob- tain beer and wines on the military reservations. Of course, these good people are the proper judges of the question. It would never do to take the testimony of the army officers. many of whom have been quoted in these columns. Funston, Chaffee. Wood. Corbin, and the rest, do not know what they are talking about their opportunities for learning the facts are not nearly so good as those of the good citizens of Arizona to whom We have alluded-most of whom never saw a military post.
 It is interesting, however, to note that the evidence in favor of the can teen from the ignorant and uniformed officers continues to come in. General Sumner, recently retired from the army, has closely observed and studied the results of abolition of military post exchanges, and finds them mischievous and disappointing. He regards the canteen as distinctively a temperance agency, and strong with beneficent re- straining influences. Without it there has been been a "deplorable increase of drunkenness, desertion, absence with out leave and crimes of all kinds"
 This judgment of a distinguished sol dier echoes and reinforces the opinions of practically the entire army element in command. If military action could restore the canteen the cordons of low groggeries now surrounding federal military posts would rapidly disappear. But legislative authority is supreme in the matter and there is but slight chance that the case of the soldier as presented by practical men-at-arms will be favorably heard in congress. The regulation as it stands is distinct lively a sop to prohibition sentiment, which no legislator may offend without imperiling his political future.
 Once get a law of this sort on the statute books, and the jealous aquarian element among the people may be de- pended upon to keep it there, whether beneficial or not.

Burlington, Dec S.-Two important
announcements were made in the local
railroad world last week which will be
of interest to Iowa and Missouri people
especially.
The first announcement is to the

The second official announcement is
that beginning January l, 1908, the
Keokuk & Western railroad, extending
from Keokuk to Shenandoah, will be
operated in connection with the Mis-
souri, lines, under the management of
