was made at Mayor Humphreys

commissioners met G. A. Rogers,
manager for the Abilene Water Go.
Mr.. Rogers has been receiver and
then manager Of the watsrworks for
II years and has given the city an ex-
ample Of faithful and competent
official service that deserves praise.
When he took charge there was mud
IN the mains, no smokestack on the

has been given the finest water

WINGED the obstreperous. He has
never had trouble with the city and
has given the waterworks patrons a

That is good record.
j. E. Bonebrake was the man who
had most grief with the waterwOrks.
He built the power house at the
standpipe's present location and dug
wells. The wells gave out and ne

year and after several mass meetings
q compromise was effected and Sand
Springs was secured as supply and
the city paid ssO25 rental. This has
continued since,
Three water commissioners, J. K.
Forney, s. A. Cooper and J. B. War
field, are now in charge. They have
been given the waterworks receipts
since Jan. and will pay the expenses
since then, thus starting with the
new year. They will announce their
appointments Of employees soon. All
employees will be on civil service rules.
The present income is about $lO,-
900 a year. 1t is expected that this
will be increased.
The city is authorized to issue
s5, 900 bonds for extensions but that
will not be done unless necessary. 1t
il hoped that the extensions can be

with the letter of the Hon. 7. G.
Henry bearing on the Captain James
B. Shane case. While / knew Of the

facts in the case. i came to Abilene
Aug. LIST, 1878, as pastor Of the First
Presbyterian church then small mis-
sion. In September, 1874, my wife
and moved into the Shane house on
the hill to occupy four Of lite nice new
rooms for over three years while the
Shanes occupied the remainder Of the
house. During those years Mrs.
Snyder gave George and Ella Shane
instructions on the piano. Captain
Shane, often rough in exterior man
nerisms, was most open and large
hearted man, kind and gentle to his
wife and children, good neighbor.
l never knew him to do or look favor
ably upon dishonest act. As editor
Of the Abilene Chronicle-our only
paper in grasshopper years-he to
my mind conducted it-in q fair and
honorable manner.

Reuters agency has received some
fresh and interesting details concern
ing the expedition In Tibet of the Aus
trlan explorer DR.. Erich Zugmayer,
whose return to Leh, In Kashmir has
been announced. The climatic and 9th
err difficulties met with by the expedi-
ton were great. Travelling toward the
east and southeast, DR.. Zugmayer ira
versed an entirely unknown region,
marching for two months at an altitude
Of over 1900 feet. Heavy losses oc-
CURED among the transport animals
owing to the privations and severity
OF the weather experienced In the
passes.
Eventually at an altitude of nearly
10000 feet, surrounded by ice-filled
gorges and amid frequent snowstorms,
the expedition was obliged to camp
and consider an alteration of It's route.
DR.. Zugmayer's chief guide, disguised
as Ladakh trader, was dispatched in
search of nomad tribes, from whom he
might purchase fresh animals, but the
supply thus secured after great trou-
BILE was entirely inadequate for the
needs Of the expedition, the baggage
train Of which had dwindled from six
ty to twenty-five animals.
DR.. Zugmayer therefore turned west
ward In order to make shorter Jour-
ney to Kashmir.. The expedition
marched past Rudok and Panggong
lakes through unknown country and
eventually crossed the frontier passes
into Kashmir DR.. Zugmayer expresses
himself highly satisfied with the scien-
tific results Of his journey. Next to the
exploration Of unknown lands a col
lection of data for the correction of
existing maps appears to him to be
particularly important.
OF great Importance geologically is
the fact ascertained beyond all doubt
of the existence of recent volcanic con-
formations In Tibet, well-known con-
troversial point The botanical speci-
mems gathered at an altitude of 10000
feet to 10000 feet are also feature
of great interest Especially notable,
however, are the geological results, In
cluded among the specimens being twen-
ty new species and fifty new groups of
small animals.

, tboss happy dayo when her heart

x those happy dayo when her heart
never ached.
It struck me that among those things
which she could not find words to tell me
about was some sort of a premonition OF
this return. The old life was often In
her thoughts; but she had dwelt more
than usual upon the cave this last night.
Long after our conversation about Ethel
she said: Brother, do you remember the
pretty things we carved In the wall or
the cave? There was a piece you maLk ad
In black that / never had time to h.,WI.
Only little mere and IL would be all
finished" And later on she said: We
have forgotten all about poor Cav; l
wonder IL he would know me again, and
come on my shoulder If | called
With these .recollections coming to my
mind I ran across the downs. There
was only one way to the cave that she
knew, the way by which we had left it
together, and that way I knew She would
try to return by. I went down the gap;
to my CONSERVATION the water was up,
and after following the shore some dis
tance I was prevented by the sea from
going farther. l ran back, up the gap
and along the cliff in frenzied haste. Be
yond Deadnan's Point l looked down.
The light had so faded that l could bare
|, distinguish the fragments of cliff
strewed on the shore pom the foam OF
the water breaking against them. Pres
emily I stood on the cliff just over the
Govern and strained my eyes in the dark
chaos Of rocks and water below. a few
jsckdaws were wheeling round half way
down; their cry was TO me terrible
omen. Then gnlping down my choking
emotion, l called for the last time:
Psyche sister! Dear Psyche :"
1t may have been no more than mag
nation, and yet cold awe chilled me 70
the heart as there seemed to fall upon
my ears that swelling rise and piaintive
fall of the aeolian song of my sweet lit
tie helpmate. AS | rushed back along tho
cliff I met Sir Henry.
What is the matter?" ne cried. You
look like the ghost of yourself"
poor Psyche Is down there" an
su cred through my sobs, still running on.
What do you mean, ThorneT he said,
his voice almost as broken as mine.
"She has tried to go back to the cave
l know It, know it and the water has
come up!"
"Oh, heaven, have this TO answer for,
too, - he cried.
We dashed into the water like mad
men, and waded and swan till the point
was rounded, and then We got upon the
ssnd and ran again till we came among
the great boul1ers and ragged fragments
o. the fallen cliff.
And there We found her just a little
beyond the receding waters in her drab-
hled dress. Her hands were clasped
tightly upon the string of shells l had
put about her neck IN days when she
knew no pain; and now in her sweet
child's face there was the same express
sion of innocent Joy it had worn then. I
trust in Gods mercy that at last she for
got that there Is suffering in this world,
and died with the happiest memories she
knew.
