The car of water mains and pipes
arrived from Denver Monday and
have been strung along the streets.
Tuesday morning work was begun on
the building for the pump and engine
house. The frame of the tank tower
is up and the door for the big tank is
being laid. This tank is of heavy
redwood, will hold 10000 gallons Of
water and its bottom is 43 it above
the street level at the buildings.
which will give it pressure sufficient
to throw water over any building in
town, in case of fire. But the pump
will be in direct connection with the
system and can put greater pressure
into the mains than will come from
the gravity pressure of the tank.
The well is now down to o strata
of clay, under the sand and gravel and
cannot be pumped dry with pump
that throws 500 gallons per minute.

As soon as the elbows and It's" for

system completed within the sixty
days specified in the contract.

WAS POPULAR POLITICIAN.
Mr.. Sadler was an ardent Democrat,
but later became leader in the Sill
yer movement.
In the days when the Democratic
party was without power in this state
he was one man that helped hold the
the organization together, accepting
nominations which we're but empty
honors, and then going out to stump
the state for his party.
In 1894 he was elected lieutenant
governor of the state by the Silver
party and a year later acceded to the
Office of governor upon the death of
Governor John E. Jones. In 1893 he
was nominated for governor and was
elected, defeating William Mcmillan.
Republican; George Russell. Demo-
crat. and j. B. Mccullough Populist.
Mcmillan contested and after a
lengthy hearing in the supreme court
Mr.. Sadler was declared elected by SO
votes more than the returns allowed
him.
Four years later he withdrew as a
candidate for reelection and John
Sparks succeeded him.
As an executive Mr.. Sadler was one
of the ablest that ever occupied the
state capitol. He was an energetic
worker and was devoted to the inter-
ests of the state. His business fore
sight was applied to the various de-
partments of the state government
and he took a keen interest in the
workings of every branch In the ad-

covered with freckles. Our little friend
lid not like that boys looks, and he
liked less what he did, For he drove him
from his mother. he beat him with the
stick, he pulled his tail, he put him in n
box stall in the stable all by himself,
and when he cried for mother he fed
him OH a bottle with a nasty rubber
top.
"You horrid boy" said the little bull.
"Pn get even with you for this If it
takes me years to do it. You think l
can't remember because I'm a dumb
beast. But you wait"
All this he said out loud, but the boy
emily laughed. He couldn't understand.
The years went by, and little Mr.. Bull
grew into big Mr.. Bull, but he did not
forget. Each day that freckled boy
came near Mr.. Bull would give low
grunt and say: Il can wait. shan't
forget" By and by the boy had grown
to be young man. He put on long
pants and a tail coat. Mr.. Bull had
grown also and put on fine pair OF
horns.
One day the boy was standing in the
gard looking at his pigeons. Some one
bid left the gate to the pasture open.
Mr.. Bull remembered.

down his head. he put up his tall. he
made Il bee line for that freckled boy.

Shampoo Rules.

Professional hair ethics advocate the
shampoo not much oftener than once q
month. What they do insist upon,
though, is the "dray clean"--that is the
weekly or semi-weekly brushing. This
done in the professional way, is some
thing that few women attempt for them
selves; and yet it is easily done, as it
only means brushing the hair from part
ings made in as many directions as posi-
BILE. To make this a really cleansing
process, the brush should have the comb
put through it each time that it is drawn
through the hair, and the comb should
then be wiped off on towel. This is
always done by the professional hair
dresser, and almost always neglected
when the brushing is done at home. In
this is the whole secret as the softness of
the hair after brushing is simply the soft
ness of added cleanliness. Without this,
even the oil that is brought down into
the hair by the brushing will only make
it sticky without making it soft.
Always wash the brushes in cold
water with a dash of ammonia-never in
hot water and soap, as the hot water
especially ruins the bristles. A few
drops of carbolic acid added to the
water is a good thing, as brushes, more
often than generally supposed, need a
disinfectant.

ASPARAGUS.
Its Relation to the Famous Asphodsl
of the Early Ages.

Its Relation to the Famous Asphoda1
Of the Early Ages.
As ticker of the palate asparagus
has come down the ages with all the
weight of Greek and Roman approval.
Plato ate it by the plateful, and Aris-
tophancs, the humorlst, regarded it as a
great aid in digesting the crank phil
losophers of the day.
1t is an odd fact that this culinary
plant is closely related to the famous
asphodel, which was supposed by the
ancients to be the leading flower in the
gardens of the elysium, the Greek pur-
gatory or paradise. A part Of the
quaintness of this lies in the fact that
the roots possess purgative qualities.
The roots and fruit Of both We're for
merly much used in medicine for this
purpose.
According to the superstition Of the
Romans. the names Of the dead fed on
the roots of the asphodel They planted
it, therefore, in and, around the ceme-
teries; hence to this day 1t covers with
its beautiful golden blossoms as pro-
fuscly as dandelions the Apulian hills
ana valleys. and the sheep feed on i
greedily.
1t belongs to the same natural order
of perennials. and the only difference
between the asparagus and the as
phodel appears to be in the fruit and
the color of the flowers. So abundant
is the wild asparagus In the steppes Of
Russia that cattle eat 1t like grass. just
as Italian sheep devour its botanical
cousin.

Easter Favors and Candies.

EASIER faVOfS anu SauoicSs
Just now Easter favors have taken on
the form of the lily or the rabbit or the
egg or the softfeathered chick, appear
ing in many DISCUSSES and aliases. Some
of them are good to eat, especially the
eggs, chocolate, shell and all, while
others represent the case or covering
only which, when removed, disclose to
view delicious little bonbons, or the
space can be used to hold dainty hand
kerchief, a jewel, q ribbon or other
"trihe" dear to the feminine heart. OF
course there are the little book boxes
Stimulating the prayer book or church
missal, appropriate for the Easter season.
We have mentioned but few of the
large assortment OF favors to be had this
year. There are many novelties which
you should see for yourself If you are at
all interested in Easter gift making
either at the table or beyond the range
of the festive board.
Flowers seem especially appropriate
for Easter gifts. Large growing plants
in pots covered with white crepe paper
and tied with white or green ribbon
have been as much favored as boxes of
cut flowers. Azaleas and hydrangeas are
almost as much liked as the Ascension
lily for Easter giving.
Each year sees more attractive novel
ties in boxes and baskets for the Offering
of bonbons. At present one may have q
choice of the most delicate loneliness In
pale pink, yellow, white, green or laven-
der, in most elaborate weaviDgs, in q
basket. The bows that sdorn them are
really works of art ribbon flowers, such
as vi0lets or roses, are seen on . num-
Der. In boxes, of course, our old friend
Mr.. Bunny is most conspicuous in alt
sizes, shapes and attitudes. Chickens
are here in any number, as are also re-
ceptacles in egg shape and little wagons.
Typography has been such craze this
winter, a booklover would be pleased
with burned wood table book rack.
For housewife, or girl that loves
her room, candlestick is good idea,
as they are So very fashionable just now.
These may be of pewter, brass, china,
silver Or of the dark, heavy, quantity
shaped Dutch pottery.

BELLS AS BAROMETERS.

Their Tone VIII Indicate What the
Weather Will Be.
Church bells can serve another pur-
pose besides ringing you to worship.
They make good substitute for a
barometer AS the atmosphere is the
sole conductor of sound from the bell
to the ear, it Is obvious that the in
tensity and quality Of the sound as
perceived by the ear will depend on
the state of the medium through which
it comes. For instance, IL bells sound
very distinctly Of an evening. this
points to the probability Of wet day
following, since air heavily charged
with moisture conducts sound better
than dry air. So, too, as dense air con-
ducts better than light air, bells sound
more clearly when the barometer Is
high than when 1t Is low, other things
being equal, and so, too, with hot and
cold air. These principles are familiar
to all country folk living within the
sound of church bells. About five
miles from Lebekke, in Belgium, there
are some small bells which are called
"water BELLS" When they are heard
distinctly In the town rain Is sure to
follow.-LOndOn Spectator.

Useful Hints.

A little milk added to the water in
which potatoes are boiled will make
them whittier and better in taste.
The best way to clean bamboo furni-
ture is to wash it we'll in warm water
containing gill of salt to each quart.
This will preserve the color.
To clean a fishy frying pan, fill with
cold water and place on the fire to boil.
When boiling, put ed-hot cinder in,
and then wash in the usual way.
A teaspoonful of vinegar put into a
parafin lamp or stove that smells or
smokes will cause it to burn with clear
light and prevent it from smoking.
Salt is an old fashioned disinfectant,
popular in our grandfathers' day. It has
the advantage of being nonodorous. 1t
is capital for sprinkling about drains.
Alcohol will clean soiled silk embroid-
cry. Dip camel's hair brush In 1t and
brush the trimming till all the dirt is re-
moved. Jet passementerie can be clean
ed by rubbing it with cloth dipped in
equal parts of alcohol and water. Dry
it afterward with a clean cloth.

Gen. Negley, of Pennsylvania, was a
strict disciplinarian. During one of the
winters of the civil war he concluded
that certain guard house was altogether
too comfortable quarters for prisoners
and ordered Col. Marston, who later won
fame as a soldier, lawyer and statesman,
to build a dungeon without so much as
crack or opening anywhere, so that 1t
should be perfectly dark. The dungeon
was built with four solid walls. One
day Gen. Negley came over to inspect it.
He was accompanied by Col. Marston.
"Where is the entrance" said the gen.
eral, "and how do you get anybody into
it?" "Oh," said Col. MarstOn, "that Is
not my lookout. I simply obeyed your
orders.n
