What Our Water Supply is Doing.
SIXTY GALLONS PER INHABITANr IN
THIS UNPRECEDENTED DRoUTH.

Thursday, Sept. oath, Geo. r. Morton
and c. A. Marston measured the flow of
water in Cooper Spring Brook and Stony
Brook with the following result.
In the Cooper Spring Brook, just
above the reservoir, it was found that
water was running at the rate of "A, $50
gallons every twenty-four hours.
On Stony Brook the result was 50,S25,
making total of a little more than
-, 900 gallons per day that could be run
into this village if our system was in
stalled.
When we consider that it is as dry as
any one can remember of its being, and
that we have had no rain for weeks, We
should be pretty we'll satisfied when we
find the natural flow of our proposed
water supply to be enough to give every
one in our village little more than six
ty gallons q day apiece.

7. F. Ryan Explains Use of
New York Traction Fund.
A PRELIMINARY CAMPAIGN

Finaneiers Thought In 1899 That the
Nebrsskan Might Be Defeated Fer
the Democratic Nomination For
President
New York. April 22.-Part Of the
mysterious 100000 involved in the
Wall and Cortlandt Streets Ferries
company deal. which has been under
investigation by a grand jury for sew.
eral months. may have been used in
the campaign which preceded the
presidential election in 1900. according
10 testimony given before the Jury by
Thomas F Ryan. Portions OF the test.
mony given by various Witnesses ~
ing the investigation were fled with
the clerk OF the supreme court bv
order Of Justice Bowling From this il
appears that when Mr Ryan was cues
toned about contributions for cam
paien purposes. and particularly re-
garding the payment OF nearly 81 900.
600 by the Metropolitan company for
the Wall and Cortlandt street fran
chise. and the subsequent payment OF
several hundred thousand dollars OF
this amount TO Mr.. Ryan and some OF
his associates. he made the following
explanation.
1T may not have been for the cleo
ton Of iso0-but during the fall or
winter 81 1893 there had been prelinl-
mary campaigning going on. 1t was
thought perhaps Bryan could be de-
feated in Kansas City. but it was a
foregone conclusion that Mr. Mckinley
would be ronominated. and part OF the
money may have gone for that"
In a signed statement Mr.. Ryan
said the money repaid 10 him and his
associates. following the Wall and
Cortlandt street franchise. was the
precise amount. with interest. which
hac been advanced by Messrs. Dolan.
W -ney, Ryan. Widener and Elkins to
cover expenditures which had been
made for the benefit OF the property.
Replying to a question by Mr.. Je-
rome regarding contributions in gen
eral Mr.. Ryan replied:
Il have always found political par
ties in receptive mood We were al
ways informed when an election was
coming on"

SCHOOL BOOKS

Under the action OF the State
Board Of Education public school
books win be greatly reduced in price
10 the future. Under the system o.
selecting public school books adopt
Ell some years ago a committee
composed OF the school superiDten-
dent and number of school teach
ers 10 each county and city selected
text books for their respective coun-
ties and cisies. The result was shat
different text books were used in al
most every community, and there
was no competition as to price. The
result, OF course, was high prices. The
books selected by these county and
city committees, however, were for
she most part admirably adapted to
the needs OF the schools for which
they were intended, but the prices
charged by the publishing houses,
with all competition removed, were
exorbitsnt. In view of the fact that
the attendance at the public schools
is made up OF children rs a rule
whose parents are only possessed of
moderate means, this is very inn
portant matter, and the reduction in
price viii come as a great relief.
There are some advantages in the
former method of selecting text
books, but upon the whole the pres
ent system will better meet the re-
quirements OF the patrons OF the
public schools.
