BOARD SAYS WATER Is SAFE.

CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE)
but he could not put himself i'm the position
for minute OF believing that there is the
slightest contamination in the water.
Mr.. Davis also pointed out that the board
had but one report TO consider. the report
made jointly last week by DIR. White and
perts were agreed at least as to facts and
there is nothing shown there, he held. that
points to the impurity Of the water. The
report made by DR.. White April 19. in which
he warned people to boil the water, was
not before the board he said neither is the
report made by DIR. White yesterday after
water is unsafe. The board agreed with him
that the joint report is the only one to
which the board can give its official atten-
tion.
COPY OF CONTRACT
F. A. w. Davis had a copy of the con-
tract between the city and the company
in his pocket. On the invitation Of Presi-
dent House he read the section furnishing
a device to relieve the situation. 1t pro-
vides that when the experts. one for the
city and the other for the water company
disagree then a third shall be chosen by
the two, who shall give his opinion. The
opinion of any two, then, as to the degree
of purity of the water shall be accepted as
conclusive, the contract reads. This, how
ever, the board considered unnecessary, re-
turning its own opinion.
The session of the board was marked by
a tilt between DR.. White and DIR. Lash.
the latter a member of the board. DR.. Lash
had prepared a list of questions as to the
significance Of certain parts OF the analy-
ses made by Dr. White. and these ques-
tions he read one by one to DR.. White.
The latter did not regard these questions
of any value, whatever, since they were
segregated questions and had no signifi-
canoe when separated from other parts OF
analyses. He courteously refused to submit
to the inquisition but DR.. Lash kept on
asking questions until the list was exhaust

to furnish any information in his power,
but that he did not believe IL wise to waste
time in discussing purely scientific ques-
tions. The tension was severe until the dis
cussion was changed to other matters.
After some slight discussion the experts
were dismissed and the board went into
executive session. After discussing the ques-
tion about an hour the board came TO the
conclusion that the water is perfectly
safe TO use, and the communication to the
citizens OF Indianapolis was issued.

The authorities of New York city are co

The authorities of New York city are con-
sidering plans for the erection of a new
City Hall and railway terminal building
to be forty-five stories high and cost s5o,-
100000. The plan illustrates the tendency
TO utilize valuable ground for the erection
OF very tall public buildings The time may
come when this city will find it profitable
to build Tomlinson Hall five or six stories
higher with an extension that would take
the place OF coliseum. 1t would be absurd
to purchase new ground for any sort of
city building when the most central and
eligible site in the city is occupied by
building of only two stories

ing thus:

gress next year grows more interesting from
day to day. the all-important question in
this connection being, "WiI Maj. George
W. Steele, Of Marion, be a candidate against
Representative-elect Frederick Lands, of
Logansport?" The major steadfastly avoids
answering the question, but there are per-
sistent rumors that he is quietly doing a
deal Of work in the way Of putting his polit-
ical fences in first-class condition, and
these rumors form the basis for a some

The Bravery Of a Woman.
" brave is a woman?

How brave is q woman?
That depends on circumstances. 1t
Is woman's nature to be afraid of
little things. She screams when
mouse runs over her feet. Fear
clutches her heart when she is alone
at night. Almost every woman will
say, "Pm terrible coward"
That is only true to very limited
extent. When the time for bravery
comes the grandness of a woman's
unselfish courage is apparent. And
when love nerves heart and hand,
you have force to move the world.
DIR. and Mrs. William FL. Logan left
their good home in Bethany, ILL.,, at

missionaries. DR.. Logan became
very i'll with appendicitis.

tor.
He told Mrs. Logan that his only
chance for life Icy in an operation,
and asked her to carefully listen to
his instructions and perform it.

She listened to DR.. Logan. She
prayed, too; than gave him an anaes-
thetic and successfully removed his
appendix.
After that came loving care and
tender treatment, until he had rallied
sufficiently to be moved, when Mrs.
Logan took him 800 miles by wagon
and rail to physician, who complet.
ed the treatment.
Are women brave?

ed the question. Florence Nightin-
gale never did more heroic act than
was performed by the missionary wo.

How TO Find the Comet.

Those who have no better excuse
for being out star gazing these moon
light nights say they are hunting for
the new comet. For the benefit of
these we give a Western editors d.
rections for finding it:
GA French scientist named Borelli
has lost his comet. 1t slipped the
halter the other night. 1t is travel
ing at the rate of about a million
miles second in a parabola. 1t
would have taken an automobile,
but they are too slow. A parabola
is celestial vehicle and it is very
fast. II you meet it you will recog-
nize it by it's two tails. 1t doesn't
need two tails any more than a rab-
bit, but it's got 'em all the same and
it's nobodv's business. If you want
to see this two-tailed vagrant that
seems to be trying to butt into the
sun, stand facing the northeast at
about the time the curfew bell rings.
Then look for Alpha Cygni. You'll
know Alpha by the wart on her nose.
Taking Alpha Cygni as a starting
point, let your eagle eye travel on an
elipse around that constellation
about a trillion miles until it reaches
Beta Cygni. Beta is sister of Alpha
and you will know her by the green
ribbon in her hair. The comet will
be found near Beta Cygni making
goo-goo eyes at her and spreading
it's too tails like a peacock"

How beautifully the new law sue
ceeds in license cities For instance,
in Rutland tht police court record In
July showed 81 convictions for drunk
enness against 10 in July 1902. Oh
yes, there's nothing equal to a license
system for promoting sobrietyl The
Rutland News gives some additional
testimony in regard to the situation
in that city by saying that there is
no pretense made there of enforce.
ment OF the law, and comments as
follows:
"The law, il enforced, would indeed
still produce small results creditable
to the city; but those responsible for
the law and those paid to enforce it
are supine and inactive. We have
not the slightest notion but that the
law is equally as imperative in St.
Adams, Burlington and other license
towns in the state, and that the in
fractions are blinked at. In no re-
spect has the license policy bettered
conditions; in every respect has it
made them worse. The administra-
tion OF the present law Is In the hands
of its friends and it goes without say
ing that it's rigid and impartial en-
forcement cannot be expected"
The Barre Telegram demands for a
better observance of the law there.
In Winooski a petition is in circula-
ton for the removal of one license
commissioner on account of his al
legged unftness for the place. verify,
experience is teaching the high license
advocates, if they will only listen,
that their fine spun theories are up
set by cold facts.
