Water Plant Isolated.

This afternoon the plant OF the Indian

or the city. became flooded and the en-
sines were forced TO shut down. This
had the effect OF cutting off the water
supply from the entire city for several
hours until an auxiliary pumping sta
ton could be fired up and engines
brought into service During this In
terval the whole city would have been
at the mercy OF fire. The plant Of the

the entire city, is probably useless and
the water is pouring into the boiler
rooms, filling them and driving the

According to Roosevelt every man
who voted for Bryan eight years ago
stood for dishonesty. Therefore
according to Mr.. Rooseyelt's logic
three out of every four voters in this
State were dishonest, for man cannot
stand for dishonesty and be honest
himself. very man who voted fer
Bryan in 1896 should vote against
Roosevelt this year, not merely as an
act Of self-respect. but as a protest
against the candidacy OF a man too
