M. D. MILES INJURED.

M. D. MILES INJ URED.
 The village was thrown into excite ment, Sunday morning about o'clock, by the blowing of the whistle of the bell. It appears that M. D. Miles, the faithful engineer, had started to climb up the ladder of the water tower to thaw out the water pipe leading to the tower, which was frozen. A light ed torch had ignited the paper about the pipe and it had got beyond his control. In his excitement MT Miles lost his hold and fell to the ground, d distance of Is feet, striking on his feet. pr George B. Staub hastened Miles suffering from his bruises. He wrapped him in his big fur Overcoat and drove MT Miles as fast as he could to the latter's home on South Main street, where he is now under treat ment. The members of the Water Witch Hose Go. soon arrived and had the fire under control in short order. The loss by fire will probably not ex- ceed $2OO.

MONEY SPENT FOR soDAs.
Ten Thousand Dollars . Day Not Un.
usual In Big City.

"Ten thousand dollars worth Of
soda water a day-well, probably"
said city druggist whose trade In
the effervescent fluid is considerable
part Of his business. In summer the
days bill for this city is doubtless all
of that and more. Take the average
price Of soda at ten cents per glass,
figuring that the Sundays and other
15-cent connections offset the Ave.
cent drinks, and $4,000 means hun.
dred thousand glasses of soda, not an
excessive estimate for a million and q
half people allowing for the visiting
strangers. who are generally thirstier
than the natives. Oh, yes, 1t has
opened, but prabably this days sales
over the whole town won't exceed
5000. or perhaps they will be less
than that. But, all told, allowing for
good days and bad, winter and sum-
mer, this city probably drinks at least
million dollars worth of soda water
a year, and, what's more, never misses
the money.

The New Home Rule Bill for ireland
ls HALFWAY Measure.

London, May 8.--The government
on Tuesday presented its long awaited
Irish bill to the house OF commons
and the country This bill is designed
to meet the demands for Irish home
rule. 1t was presented by the chief
secretary for Ireland, Mr. Birrell, to a
crowded house. Prior TO the appear.
ance OF this measure it was termed a
"devolution bill" but now it is re.
ferred to as the Irish council BILL" or
the Irish bill"
Compared with the home rule bills
OF 1886 and 1906 the present measure
confers little self.gOvernment upon
Ireland. merely giving to the council
control of the eight departments now
managed by government boards. The
council is to be appointed by the
crown, and while the lord lieutenant
of Ireland is given power to nullify
its measures, the crown retains con-
troll OF Ave Of the eight departments,
including the constabnlary. The con.
troll OF this branch always has been q
thorn in the flesh OF the Irish people.
This halfway measure Is wholly
pleasing to no political party. The
unionists regard II Ak a step toward
home rule.
The radicals are disappointed that
the measure falls 80 far short OF
actual home rule, and the Irish mem.
bers are even more disappointed with
ii. The Irish leaders, however, are

The mortgage was secured some time

charged is 5h per cent. and the mort

The paper was drawn in New York

John p. Meagher, a notary, who did
the necessary work OF witnessing and
putting the ofiiclal seal OF the CON-
