TOWN OF SALISBURY
WARD EGGLESTON DEAD.
The End Game Suddenly on Last Sun
 day Afternoon.

The End Game Suddenly on Last Sum
 day Afternoon.
 The whole community of Salisbury was shocked and saddened at the news of Ward s. Eggleston s death on Sunday afternoon. It came as shock especially as no one knew of his illness; in fact, he was sick only about four hours previous to his death, which was caused by inter nal hemorrhage. He was 37 years of age. He had, however, been in poor since last fall, but he managed to keep at work most of the time, so no one, not even his own family, really knew how serious his condition was. His death is especially sad as he leaves wife and six daughters, the eldest Is and the young est four years of age.
 Ward was genial, hearty, happy fell low whom everybody liked, and he will be greatly missed by his shopmates, his K. of P. brethren, and his many other friends, but particularly will his loss be felt in his pleasant little home, for he was decidedly home body and was de- voted to his wife and children. The sympathy of the community is with them in their great sorrow. He is. also survived by his father, mother, two brothers and two sisters, for whom much sympathy is felt. The funeral was held at St.John s church yesterday afternoon.

How to Make Tea In the Best Way.
 The best way to make tea is to take a clean earthenware pot, make it thor oughly hot, then place the tea in it, a teaspoonful for each person. The wa ter to be used should boil, then be i'm mediately poured on the tea If allow ed to boil over the peculiar property Of boiling water which acts upon tea evaporates and eventually disappears. The tea should be allowed to draw six minutes and then be poured out, as in this way you gain the full flavor, quality and strength without extract ing the tannin, which is so injurious to the digestive organs.

How to Thread Roed Nec,xIaces.

Women are rethreading the old bead necklaces they have found boarded in their jewelry cases and are separating each colored bead by narrow one of sparkling crystal. What to thread the necklace upon is a mooted point, says the Boston Traveller. Do not be in veigled by those who tell you that waxed thread is satisfactory for the purpose into giving the story credit For beads that are in the least heavy 1t is most unsatisfactory and leads to breakage after the necklace has been worn once or twice. The best threading medium to choose is a violin string, and if the "E'' string be asked for 1t will be found fine enough and strong enough to suit all purposes.

SALISBURY FIRE C0.
TO BE ORGANIZED BY MEMS CLUB

Fire District will be Formed More Hy-
 drants will be Installed, House for
 Equipment will be Built and Men ot
 Wealth and Public Spirit will Pay the
 Bills.
 We wonder if the Mems Club of Sails bury is appreciated as it should be? If it is, it is the first instance we ever heard of where those who are eudeavor- ing to go good to their fellow men and to their town receive the credit for their efforts that they deserve. But perhaps Salisbury is an exceptional spot and pos sibly these earnest workers are being ap- preciated. We hope so.
 We didn't start out to preach ser mon on appreciation of a live organiza- tion (though it may come later) but to tell of what is~about to happen in Sails bury, thanks to the activities of the aforesaid Mems Club.
 It is the plan to organize from the membership of this club, fire company numbering about 30. In connection with this will come the organization of a fire district in Salisbury, similar to those already existing in Lakeville and Canaan. The first move, however, will be the installation of additional hydrants in the Salisbury streets by the Labeville Water Company whose mains now ex- tend there and who placed two hydrants on the Main street. It is expected that this work will be done in the spring.
 We understand that the hose. the uni forms for the company, etc. will not cost the Salisbury fire district one penny. The Club has among it's mem bers, enterprising and public spirited men who are abundantly supplied with this worlds goods and who, we are told. will provide everything necessary.
 After the organization of the com pany will come the construction of a house to contain the fire-fighting appara- tuS.
 There are but few places in Connecti- cut, no larger than Salisbury, that can boast of a thoroughly organized and well equipped fire company. Even Ga naan cannot do it.

WATERS ON A RAMPAGE.
Much Effort Required to Confne
Raging Torrents Within Bounds
at American Fork.

American Fork. MAY 24-AIuch damage
IS being done in this vicinity by the high
waters that are coming out of the can
yOn. caused by the melting of the snow
by the past few days of hot weather.
Most of the bridges in the canyon are
washed out and the roads are washed
out in a number of places, and one man
who came down from there today says
it will be a month before the roads will
be repaired so that~0re hauling can be
resumed. Never for the past twenty
years has there been so much wateg
in the creek as there is at present.
1t has overflOwed its banks in the lower
part of the town and flooded the mead
ows and farming land, thereby doing n
great deal of damage. A large force of
men have spent the past few days along
the banks of the creek endeavoring to
keep its confined in its old channel. but
their efforts are almost fruitless in the
torrent of raging waters. A number of
carcasses of calves and other animals
have come down the creek from the can
yon, where they had ranged, and where
they were probably washed down while
endeavOring to ford the creek. Some of
the carcasses were brought right into
town. A great many of the lands ad-
joining the lake shore are covered with
from one to three feet of water, as the
lake is the highest it has been for years.
