Relieve The Wells.

.According to recommendation OF
this engineer and the water board, the
water for the local supply will be
pumped, from now on during the cold
months, from the pond at Runycn,
thus saving The wells. If more water
is needed than the pond provides, the
wells will b called into auxiliary use.
For some time the wells have been
In principal use, and the pond but
little comparatively. 1t was thought
that 10 reverse this order for time
would also slightly improve the quail

sumers at present.

The Independent Polish Catholic
church, in upper State street, was to-
tally destroyed, with its contents, by q
fire nf mysterious origin which started
about 2 O'Clock this morning. The re.
sidence of Robert Harding, at 6S5
Sta'e street, next door to the church,
and some adjoining fences, were also
damaged to the extent of about Si5.
The total loss is expected to foot up
about SO 200 or 81. 900.
When the blaze was discovered the
entire southwest corner of the frame
edifice was In flames. Patrolman
Frank Sh1ltz was notified of the fire
by a man whom he met at State and
Wayne streets, block south Of the
church. Shuitz awoke the people liv-
ing next door. to the church, Robert
Harding and Anton Haremza. The
alarm was turned in from box 81, at
State and Wayne streets, at 2;o5
O'Clock.
The firemen met with much Difficult
" in reaching the scene of the blaze,
because of the heavy roads. Lincoln
Engine COMPANY had their steamer
out The McClellans were also on the
scene, but not with their steamer.
Protection Hook s. Ladder Company
also reached the scene in good time.
1t was hard night for the firemen
and they did excellent work in saving
the adjoining dwellings. The Nc
Clellaus devoted their energies chiefly
to preventing the spread of the flames
to the houses next door.
The power of the electric alarm
failed to ring the fire bell properly,
although the whistle blew. In order
TO ring the bell, Patrolmen L. G.
Jensen snd L. A. Long secured Ian
tern and an axe, and, smashing the
door of the bell tower, they rang the
bell by hand.
