STOLE HIS WIFE'S HORSE
ADOLPH HARRELL IN TROUBLE FOR
AN UNUSUAL OFFENsE.
He Disobeyed an Order of Court to
Keep Away from Mrs. Harren and
Landed Behind the Bars.

Adolph Harrell. ss2 Minerva street. was
arrested last night by Bicyclemen Askins
and Hull and locked up at the police sta
ton. charged with grand larceny and be-
ing drunk.
On account of Harrelrs inebriety, 1t is
said, his wife several days ago applied to
the courts for divorce, and as the OBJ
jectionable husband was inclined to make
things as unpleasant as possible for Mrs
Harrell, the court issued an edict stating
specifically that Harrell was to stay away
from the residence of his wife, and under
no circumstances was he to take or carry
away any of the property on the premises
where his wife lived
Against the order of the court he went
to the house which he formerly called his
own last night. and. going TO the stable
broke open one of the doors and took his
wife's carriage horse, which he rode down
to the city and placed IN a livery stable.
The loss of the horse was discovered and
the theft soon traced to the husband, who
was already under arrest for being drunk.
An additional charge of grand larceny was
added TO that under which the unfortunate
man was first arrested.

there is little chance to get this kind of
water supply. Rivers are the sources OF
water supply for a great part of the coun-
try. Tests show that the river water is
the most impure. Running water does not
purify as rapidly as stagnant water. Cities
all over the country are now dumping their
sewage into the rivers and this impure
river water is being used by millions or
people. / don't know whether you and L
will live to see il, but the time is coming
when the people OF this country will attain
TO that stage of civilization when this river
water will be purified. Sewage will be pur-
flied or the water Will be thorougniy nitereo
sanitary water supplies. But even III no
sewage were dumped in the rivers TINS
water would not be nit TO use for drinking
purposes until il was filtered.
ITO return to the discussion OF the water
supply from wells, let me tell you this;
WellS-driven OneS-are liable 10 contain
impure water when river runs near them-
Up at Noblesville. Ind. wouldn't be sur
prised If the wells have got impurities from
White river during freshets. And the same
is true at Fort Wayne. The wells there
have been affected by St Marys river"
SLOW SAND FILTER.
Mr.. Leighton spent much time explaining
the slow sand filter. With the slow sand
process it costs from sl25 to 81 to purify
between 100000 and 100000 gallons Of
water This filter costs about $4,000 an
acre 1.-The cost of fltering by this process
varies WIFI the pOlltlSdi SOAipASAANH - 49,
municipality humorously remarked Mr.
Leighton. "It may cost only SIS. or the
cost may reach 81"
Rain water he said, can be depended upon
to be pure in rural districts where the sur
face is kept clean and the pipes leading
to the reservoir are in a sanitary condition.
But i'm cities, he says, nothing can be much
more impure than rain water, after a long
dry season.
The most important discussions during
the sessions yesterday morning and after
noon were those of DR.. Severance Burrage,
formerly a professor at Purdue Univer-
sity who is now the chief sanitarian OF the
Mccormick Harvesting Company's town,
where more than 5000 people are under his
care, upon the subject of Industrial ana

are used TO illustrate the various acts

of them have any idea of the way
these changes are brought about.

play of 81 Plunkard from behind the

ted to tell TO our readers the secrets

audience in front of the stage.
In the rear end of the stage there is
a large number of electric switches
which control the various lights used
on and off the stage. BY means of
these switches many different effects
are produced that give a different
tone to the stage settings when oper-
ated
The curtains are operated by men
"A feet above the stage who handle
/ pulleys to which are attached various
drop curtains used in the production
of the play. These men are instruct
ed before the play and by other sig
nails as TO when they should raise OF
lower the curtains.
The other stage apparatus is placed
in handy places for convenience and
is fastened together with ropes that
are easily detached at a seconds
notice.
Take the case of the tramp for in

hooks fastened to his heels to hold
him firmly to the floor. The thresh'

on the stage present very good as
