To the Editor of the Dispatch:
You and the many readers of the
dear old Dispatch may be little
surprised TO hear from a new scrib-
bier in the busy little town of New
Brook!and. I thought [ would write
few items while my brother cores
pondent was sleeping and dreaming
with bis eyes wide open. Guess be
is thinking of those big trips he has
been taking out bird hunting and
has forgotten the Dispatch entirely.
The health of our town is very
good at present, although We have
some sickness. Among the sick
is Mrs. J. NJ Gunter, who has been
very i'll, but We are glad to say she
is improving.
MIR. P. J. Wessinger is improving
after couple weeks of severe illness,
he is under the skillful treatment of
DR.. F. L. Sandel. We trust he will
soon be able to attend to his place of
business, for be has been greatly
missed by his many friends. He is
clever fellow, always jovial and full
of fun.
Mr.. R L. Shuler has cleared up
the land around. the Horse Shoe
Lake, and many beautiful and desir-
able lots are for sale. All who are
able should purchase lot and place
handsome dwelling thereon, thus
build up the town of Brookland
more.
Our town has no fire protection at
all and is one thing that ought not
be neglected. I thick if some of the
go-a-head citizens like Mr.. N. II.
Witt, Mr.. A. D. Shull or many
others here, would just say 'get up,"
the horse would travel aud we would
soon be we'll protected. If the pond
was just kept up, We could get the
fire engines from our "Capital city"
st any time--sven if we would have to
pay them, would it not be better
than to have our property destroyed?
Mr.. F. E, Brown, one of our good
citi7sns, is confined to bis room, but
We learn be is improving. Hope to
see him out soon.
Mr.. J. E. Boyer, one of our best
citizens, is all smiles now-he has
new lady boarder at his house.
With many good wishes for the
Dispatch, am,

1t is whispered that some slime ago
Mr. Jol1iffe found something going
wrong and told Miller that he did not
want it TO happen again. Nothing
more was heard until Saturday night,
when Miller was discharged without
previous notice. Some one says that
the latter has been doing crooked
work, and that detective has been
at work on the case. Miller was rec
ognized as a hustler and always kept
the store in good shape, but it is be-
lieved that the trouble is in his hand
ling of the finances. Itsis also known
that Miller was untruthful. It is un-
derstood that Mr.. Jollife will not at
tempt to- keep him from securing an
other position, but some are of the
opinion that something sensational
will yet develop in the case. Mr.. Jol-
life is in the East purchasing his
stock, and Miller was yet in this city
yesterday.

City Without Water.

CLARKSBURG, w. va, Aug. 25.-
The city.s water supply has been shut
off since Tuesday evening.
The cause of it is due to the fact
that the new 12-inch water main run,
ming from the reservoir tanks Of the
city water works to thg pumping sta
ton is being connected up by a force
of workmen. The men started to
work early Tuesday morning on the
job and hoped to have it completed
by early in the afternoon of that day,
but on account of several unavoidable
accidents experienced by the work
men the work was delayed
Business was practically at stand
still yesterday with all of the bust
ness concerns and factories that de-
pend largely upon motive power to
prope1 their machinery and equip
ments The city electric light plant
was compelled to shut down early
Tuesday evening on account of hav-
ing no water for the engines. The
plant depends entirely upon the city
water works for it's water supply,
no arrangements ever having been
made by the management for such
emergencies, which are likely to hap
pen at odd times. AS consequence
Tuesday night the city was in total
darkness.
One of the water tanks is full OF
water, but it is shut off from the public
This will be held in re-
serve until the water works system
is in full operation SO that in case of
fire or other like emergencies it can
be used.
1t is thought that the repairs will
be finished to-day.
