than s423,S10.
THE contention of the insurance
men that a 10000, 000-gallon reservoir
can be built for s150,000 and for
which contention they are referring to
the report of Colonel w. Symonds, is
absurd" said Mr.. Gill this morning
When the report of Colonel Symonds
was submitted the pumping station
was situated in the heart of the city.
At that time the connections with the
water mains could have been made for
great deal less than they can now.
IF a reservoir were erected on the
Southeast boulevard, 1000 feet south
from Sprague avenue, the cost of the
reservoir would be nearly three times
the sum mentioned in the report of
Colonel Symonds
Require Extra Mains.
From where the water works are
now situated, five miles up the river,
mains would have to be built to the
reservoir to pump water into it and
other mains from the reservoir to the
city to pump water out of it. In fact
the building of the reservoir would
be the cheapest part of the expense"
Commissioner Handley is opposed
to the reservoir on the ground that
the outlying districts would not be
furnished with sufficient water
The Lidgerwood district would
have hardly any water unless special
pumps were erected in that district
to help make the distribution" said
Mr.. Handley. by the time the water
had passed from the south side of the
river to Lidgerwood all the pressure
| would be gone"
Chief Myers of the fire department
| is in favor of the reservoir, claiming
that in case of fire if anything hap
pened to the pumps the town would be
| in danger of burning unless some re-
| serve supply is furnished.

One Grown at Boone Had Exact Shape
Of Human Body.
Special to Timcs-faepublican.
Nevada, Sept. S.--One of the most re-
markable freaks of vegetation ever
grown in these parts and in fact one of
the most remarkable ever grown any
where has recently been on exhibition.
This freak is large red radish weigh
ing about two pounds which has the
exact formation of the human body.
The vegetable was grown on farm
near Boone and was secured by Mr.. T,
w. Kelley, of this city, in the Selling
saloon In Boone, where it was on exhi-
hition. The radish, about twelve inches
in length has the body perfectly form
ed, the upper and lower limbs with the
muscles prominent and perfect in every
way and its growth had a perfectly
formed head This was cut off, how
ever, by a moving machine while the
weeds were being cut in the garden in
which it was grown. After exhibiting
the vegetable at the Story county fair
here last week. Mr.. Kelley took it
over to Iowa State College and showed
it to number of the professors, who
are authority on vegetation and each
and every one Of them pronounce it
one of the most remarkable things of
it's kind ever brought to their notice or
of which they have ever read of. The
vegetable was placed in jar of some
sort of chemical to preserve it and
sent back to Boone, to the parties from
whom it was obtained.

TRAGIC SUICIDE

When the body was found the jaws
were set so strongly that the strength
of the doctor and two other men could
not open them to release the tongue
that was held in vise-like grip be-
tween them. The hands were drawn
and distorted in a way to indicate
great agony, as was also the whole
body.
The lady had fallen across the body
of her child, some ten months OF age,
in such a position as 20 crush out it's
life, making the trouble asdouble trag-
edy.
From the best information at hand
it seems that the woman and child
were alone at the time of their death.
An inquest was held, resulting in a
verdict of death from cause unknown,
to the jury. The attending physician
held to the theory that death was
caused from strychnine poisoning,
whether administered by herself or in
some other Way was not apparent
without further investigation; accord
ingly, upon the request of parties
mostly concerned, an autopsy was held
on Monday afternoon. The operation
did not reveal any external marks of
violence; the stomach was removed and
sent to the state chemist for examina-
ton, and the friends are awaiting the
returns with anxiety.
The couple had been married but
some two years, the, deceased being the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs A.. S. For

it was case of melancholia. There
has not so far been the usual claim of
foul play.

burglars secured nearly $500 worth of
money and stamps. The safe In meat
market here was blown open the same
night, but only about $40 was secured.

receipts of the office have been heavy
OF late and the postmaster has asked
permission of the postal authorities
to deposit the money in the local bank.
There is no national bank In Minden
and the rules Of the department require
that all postal funds shall be deposited
in national bank. For this reason it
is thought that Mr.. Gieger will not have
to make the amount lost good.
Dynamite was used in blowing the
doors off the safe In both the postoffice
and the meat market, and both We're
completely demolished. The explosions
were heard by several persons in town
but they thought nothing OF the mat
ter and the burglars were not dis
turbed. They gained entrance to the
buildings by unlocking the doors with
keys. There have been several similar
burglaries in this vicinity lately.

News.
Special to Times Republican.


Newton, Sept. S.--A shocking acci-
dent occurred last evening near Mon
roe Mrs. Charles Chips was shot
ard instantly killed by her husband.
Mr.. Chips had been out all after
noon pulling cookie burrs in a stubble
field. He had his team and wagon
along and in the wagon was his shot
gun. Mrs. Chips, as was her custom
r,any times, went out and accom-
panied her husband about the field
They had no children and it is suppos-
ed that Mrs. Chips became lonesome
about the house.
About o'clock they were going
to start to the house. Mrs. Chips was
sitting in the seat in the front of the
wagon driving the team along. Mi.
Chips climbed into the rear Of the
wagon and picked UP the gun to draw
the leads. Just as he went to break
the gun it is thought that the team
star,ed. The gun was discharged, and
the entire charge struck Mrs. Chlpps
and tore away the entire side OF her
head. She fell from the wagon and was
dead instantly.
The horror stricken husband took UP
the body and conveyed it to the house
and then telephoned the neighbors OF
the terrible catastrophe. 1t was sug-
gested to him that he leave the BODY
alone, but he replied that he would care
for it regardless of what happened to
him as he cared nothing for conse-
quences.
Mrs. Chipps was about 35 years Of
age. Her name was Belle Hazard, and
she was a sister Of Mrs. c. E. McCune
of this city.
