TIKI WATER QUESTION:.

What Washburn needs the most
is a system of waterworks that will
afford a means of securing water
for the needs of the city. Last Fri
day evening a meeting was held to
discuss the ways and means of Sc
curing a good supply Of water and
at the same time be able to secure
a good fire protection.
Some advocate the putting down
of a we'll and securing a supply of
water from that source Others
are in favor Of putting in a COM
plete system of waterworks with
connections and the supply Of wa
ter secured from the river, thatsup-
ply being inexhaustable.
We are in favor Of the. latter
plan as we have seen the well bus
mess tried in different places with
out very much success. The latter
plan is the more feasible one for
this place. A reservoir or stand
pipe could be placed on the hill
north of the city and would give
pressure enough to throw water
over the highest building in the
city. With mains running~from
the river to the top of the hill and
one east and west, it would not be
a hard matter to supply the town
with a supply of water and there
would always be plenty of it,
W. understand that at the meet
ing held last week, it was decided
to employ an engineer to make the
survey and approximate the cost
of the plant. The idea is a good
one, as then the town will know
just what the outfit will cost and
what kind can be secured.
In securing the services Of an
engineer to make the plans and
specifications, it would be we'll to
secure one who is in that line Of
business and one could probably be
secured from some of the large con-
Germs who make a business of put
ting in waterw srks at a very rea-
sonable figure.
If money enough could not be
secured to build the complete plant,
a plant similar to the one put in by
the railroad company would DO and
let mains be extended further up
into town. This could be done as
cheaply as the putting down of a
we'll. jamestown is one of the
towns that has tried the we'll bust
ness, and today they are without
water after the expenditure Of a
good many thousands Of dollars.
Steele is another town that az
pended a good many thousand dol
lars on the two wells they have in
that place. Today they have one
Of the wells in operation, but it is
only used in the watering Of stock.
A we'll is all right provided you
can live in the neighborhood and a
supply Of water can be secured.
In most Of the wells in this vicin-
ity, some of which are over a hun
dred feet deep, the supply Of water
is limited, and in a short time they
can be pumped dry.
What this town needs is a sys-
tenn of waterworks that will afford
a good supply of pure Missouri
river water, and we believe it can
be secured at a reasonable figure.

ADVISING THE PRESIDENT
CHICAGO FEDERATION OF LABOR
SENDS HIM 5000 WORDS.
His Attitude Regarding Open Shops
Causes the Drafting of the Long
Letter of Criticism.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-President Roosevelt
to-day was voted by the Chicago Federation
of Labor a 9,0O0-word letter OF. advice. in
which fault is found with the Presidents
attitude on the question of open shops. The
letter was prompted by the decision of Pres
ident Roosevelt in the Miller case, in which
the President said that Miller, or any other
man, must not be discharged from the Gov
eminent Printing Office on account of nom
membership in a union.
"Deliciously unaware of the hypocrisy or
the world of finance honest and humane,
but uniformed" were some of the clauses
used to describe the President in the long
letter of the open shop committee. Its
opening paragraphs contained definite dis
claimer of any wish to attack Mr.. Roose-
welt, the blame for the chief executives
attitude in the Miller affair being placed
on "a coterie of certain well-known interests
which are constantly on guard around the
White House.
The President was told that he fell into
error in his view of the question because
of that impetuosity for which we love you.
copy of the communication Will be for
warded to Oyster Bay at once, under date
of Labor day. Sept Z. The reading of the
letter before the federation meeting to-day
occupied over an hour and excited applause
from the crowd Of delegates.

FOR NUMEROUS ASSAULT
sEPTUAGENARIAN HELD BY SHER-
IFF AT EAST SULLIVAN, n. III.
He Was Jealous of the Attentions OF
n still Older Man to His Wife, Who
Also Is Above Seventy.

EAST SULLIVAN, n. H., Sept. 2o.-Mala-
chi Barnes is confined I'm the county jail on
suspicion that il was he who yesterday beat
Mrs. Barnes and Ashael Dunton. an old man
who lived with the Barnes family. Dunton
is still unconscious from his injuries. The
fact developed to-day that there had been
frequent quarrels between Barnes and Dun
ton, the former being jealous OF the latter.
Mrs. Barnes first gave Sheriff Tuttle to
understand that the house had been VS.
tied by a tramp. who committed the double
assault. To-day, however, she made a for
NAL statement to the sheriff. which the lat
ter said justified him in taking Barnes in
custody. Afterwards the sheriff went TO
the Barnes house, and in the yard discov-
cred what is believed TO be the weapon with
which the bloody work was done-a bark
peeler, having a blade two feet in length
and a wooden handle of the same length.
On the blade of the peeler were blood stains
and human hair. He discovered absolutely
no evidence of a tramp having been in the
vicinity last night or yesterday.
The principals in the case are aged people.
Dunton is seventy-five. Barnes seventy-two
and his wife seventy-one years old. Dunton
has been a boarder in the family for sew
eral years, although he has near relatives,
including a son, living.
Mrs Barnes is rapidly recovering from
the effects of the assault, but the doctors
give no hope of saving Dunton's life.

The result is what might be expected.
The bulk of the Republicans that preferred

The effort to organize Republican opposi-

reelection has proven failure, the net

have some personal ground. for grievance.
Last spring. when the Republican city
committee rejected the petitions for post
ponement of the nominating convention,
there was unquestionably very large ele-
ment of the party ready to join an OPP
position movement, but the man for the
occasion did not arise. Those that make
more or less of profession or political
reforms made the old, old mistake of turn
ing their eyes toward the Democratic
party. This is always a tempting PROPOSE
ton to the reformer. for the opposing party
offers an organization already formed and
experienced and equipped for the work.
Dissatisfied Republicans left the matter
largely I'm the air, in the expectation that
the Citizens League would accomplish
something, but the active workers in that
organization devoted themselves partly to
the effort to reform the Democratic party
and partly to the effort to paint the Book

NEWSPAPERS AND CRIME.

State Librarian Henry's theory that news
papers are responsible for a great deal of
the crime that exists is open to the objec-
ton Of being fanciful on it's face and I'M
supported by any facts or statistics. His
idea is that most of the perpetrators of
crime are mere imitators, receptive mimics
as it were, and are moved to the commits
sion of crime by reading newspaper &C
counts of 1t. This is a modification of the
theory of suggestion which is so vague and
nebulous that it adapts itself to almost
anything.
The idea that reading accounts of crime
stimulates to crime itself is not new, and
probably has a slight foundation. 1t is
undoubtedly true that young and impressi-
BILE persons, like boy readers of dime nov
els, are sometimes led to emulate the deeds
of those they read about. The authenti-
Gated cases of this kind are, however, COM
paratively few, while there is no evidence
whatever that any person has ever become
a criminal merely for the sake of initiating
some one else. Criminals do not become SO
in a minute nor by single act. They are
largely the result of heredity and environ
ment, and commit crime in their minds long
before they do by overt acts. To sustain
the theory that the newspapers are in any
degree responsible for crime it would have
to be shown that most criminals are habit
ual readers of newspapers, whereas the
reverse is true. The most heinous crime
of the age, the one that has given rise to
most of the lynchings, is committed by per-
sons who cannot read at ALL On the other
hand, publicity is feared by criminals as
almost sure to lead to their detection and
punishment The daily record of the I'M
firing pursuit and almost inevitable punish
ment of criminals certainly cannot be con-
ducive to the commission of crime. Again,
the daily press records noble, heroic and
magnanimous acts faithfully as it does
criminal acts. and if it stimulates crime,
why not antidote the crime as we'll? A
well-regulated newspaper gives as much
space one week with another to religious
or elevating news as it does to accounts
of crime. There is quite as much reason to
believe that newspapers contribute to the
diminution of crime as that they tend to
promote it. The state librarians theory is
| fanciful and illogical

YELLOW JACK in MEXICO
LINARES IS COMMERCIALLY DEAD,
WITH ABOUT 200 CASES.
Two Thousand Cases of Other Dis
Infected-Situation Elsewhere.

MONTEREY, Mex, Sept. 2O.-Dr. Roy
Martin, quarantine inspector for the gov
eminent, who recently returned from Lin
ares, declares that the city is dead COM
mercialIy and partly deserted on account
of the prevalence of yellow fever. Although
there are less than 200 cases in Linares,
there are fully 1000 people sick with vari-
Gus ailments.
Latest advices from Victoria state that
but twelve cases of yellow fever now exist
in that city. The municipal authorities Of
Victoria feel that they will shortly have
stamped out the fever.
Mr.. w. III. Leonard, representative of the
bridge and masonry contractors on the
Monterey division of the Mexican Central
Railroad, reports a most deplorable situa-
ton in the different construction camps
along the line. He says there is scarcely a
camp without yellow fever, and that there
are many deaths. AS these camps must be
more less centers of infection, 1T would
be well to close them up until the epidemic
has passed away.
Tampico is largely diminishing the num-
Der of cases of yellow fever, the average
number Of cases weekly now being seven.

'.How much we need in the national life

ment last night during his sermon on the
subject: Blessed are they that hear the
word of God and keep it,"
People go to church by proxy in this
country" he continued. "One seldom sees
a whole family together at church Peo-
pie of this country seem to think that there
is danger of making religion monotonous X

larry. The American people seem TO think
that there is danger of something happen-
ing to them If they go TO church three Sum
days in succession. One hardly ever sees
more than one or two members of one fam
lily in the family pew. Instead OF making
the family pews large IL seems that they
will have to be made smaller.
