MELBOURNE, Oct. l3.-The cricket
crisis is over, and matter which has
occupied the minds of so many on this
side has happily ended in all differ
ences as to the past being buried. The
one result of the whole deal has bsen
the far,reaching influence of the squab-
BILE. People who at any ordinary time
are rather peaceably inclined were
drawn into a controversy which ragged
for many months. A good many, too.
suddenly realized how their interests
were affected, Many Of the members
Of the great grounds in Adelaide, Mel
bourne and Sydney became aroused TO
the fact that their claims to recogni-
tion had been very mch overlooked IN
the past. All these things tended TO
show what a vast number Of interests
were wrapped up in sports. From one
end Of Australia TO the other thou
sands of enthusiasts were watching the
trend of events with anxious ewes.
When. too. it was realized that the pro
loneation of hostilities meant the jeop-
ardizing of the visit of an English team
to Australian shores then the papers
became flooded with suggestions as to
the proper methods to pursue to end the
crisis. People who at no time could
be called sporting in its true sense
also waded into the arena, and had
their saw Thus were found Cabinet
Ministers and State Premiers Offering
suggestions. It ended at last, much to
the satisfaction Of everybody, and the
triumph has been for the associations
and the bonrd of control.

believed TO be the most potent and
most likely to be frequently used OF
any of those which now appear pos.
sible as features Of the attack. The
whole attitude of those preparing for
the season appears to be one of doubt,
with the hope that something may
interchange of kicks, with more or
less uncertain and uninteresting sense
less scramble for the pigskin while it
IS free on the ground.

Charge That IoIa's Water Plant
Is a Failure, Untrue.
Operation by the City Is Salts
factory to Taxpayers.
A CHEAP WATER RATE.
Only Two of l2S Listed Towns
Sell Water Lower.
Has Paid Twelve Per Cent on
the Money Invested.

lola, Kan. March 1.-THE Record
says:
An Ottawa paper says that with the
exception Of lola and Hiawatha. NUM-
eipaf ownership Of water plants is a
success in all of the forty-seven towns
in the state in which 1t has been tried.
Just why it should be inferred that
Iola's plant is not a success can not be
explained inasmuch as this inference
is the exact opposite of the facts.
The object Of a municipal water plant
Is to furnish water to its citizens at a
cost just sufficient to pay operating
expenses and leave a surplus at the end
of each year sufficient to make needed
extensions. Iola's plant is doing this
and at the same time is giving her citi-
zens the cheapest rate Of any city in
the state.
For the year ending December 81 the
receipts for the sale Of water and wa
terworks supplies amounted to ST.
1887. The operating expenses for the
year were S11 ,0275 81, which is a good
investment for the city, as the receipts
from the extensions will greatly over
balance the operating expenses. All Of
this has been done on a water rate
which IS the cheapest IN the state. Inc
maximum meter rate charge is 20 cents
per thousand gallons and the minimum
is 455 cents per thousand The fiat
rates are considered to be even cheaper.
The water consumers in lola prob
ably do not realize that the rates in
lola are cheaper than almost any other
town or city in the United States. There
are two of 1872 listed towns in the Unit
ed States which have lower rates than
lola. These are Cleveland, Ohio, and
Detroit, Michigan. The fact that these
towns are cheaper than lola is on ac-
count of the fact that the water can be
pumped directly from the lakes into the
mains saving the expense of filtering.
In lola the rate for a six room house
including toilet and bath and sprinkling
privilege for thirty-foot front is $1,000
while in Chicago the rate is $3.50. In
Ieavenworth, Kansas, the rate is $3.50
and so on with all Of the rest Of the
towns in Kansas. The lowest rate in
the list is Detroit, which is only $3.50
Notwithstanding the fact that the
rates in lola are cheaper than in the
other towns, the plant IN the nine
months between the LIST of May, 1905.
ia March l. 1905, paid IL per cent on
the total sum invested, and included
the insurance on the plant among the
EXPENSES. The record made by Iola's
water system has certainly been one
Of which the people Of lola can feel
proi1d

Ebbets at the tournament are small.
Tine meet coming so mitch later than
usual is to blame, for Ebbets has his
baseball team to look after, which
caused him to decide not to enter his
team, the Superbas. He may run UP to
Louisville for q brief visit but even
this is doubtful If he doesn't it will
be the first national tournament he has
missed. 1t also means he viii not be a

Delegates to the congress and team
members have already begun to arrive,
the largest single party thus far being
that from St. Louis, which reached the
city last night.
st. Louis, st. Paul and Philadelphia
have already started a warm three
cornered fight for the next congress,
although Philadelphia's chances have
been unfavorably affected by the fact
that the east is sending q smaller num-
Der Of bowlers than was expected. Al
Baltz of Philadelphia; Charles J. Kauf-
mann of Cincinnati and Charles H.

rumors that st. Louis bowlers will

man said today to the writer OF the
letters: .'I don't see how you did it.
If was no trouble; no task. A man
who writes for a living soon learns to
write rapidly. and the letters were
written at odd times. The writer Of
the letters is an early riser, and usually
wrote a while before breakfast. He
never goes to lunch, and wrote usually
during the lunch hour. Then he wrote
while waiting for dinner at 1880; he
nearly always had his daily letter
mailed before going to dinner. In the
Philippines, he was kept very busy by
the Kansas residents, and did no writ
ing. but caught up after going to sea.

seen, the doors do not open until ten
o'clock-Atchison Globe.
