While he was in this condition an

His story was only a hallucination. In

WATER CONTRACT
EXTENSION GOES
DOWN TO DEFEAT
Daily Beats Suburban Company
for Further Grip on Hair
riSOn.

The extension of Harrison's contract
with the Suburban Water Company to
1928 was rescinded by the Harrison
Common Council last night by a vote
of 5 to 8. 1t was a victory for Council
man John ]. DAILY, president of the
Council, who induced Councilman
o'Connor and Witt to change their
ing when the contract was extended
ten years.
Those voting to rescind We're: Witt,
Van Deren, Dolphin, DAILY and O'Con-
nor. Those sticking to the water COM
pany were: Sullivan, Rice and Henry.
DAILY declared hat he had a bona
fide offer from Mayor Wittpenn, of Jer-
sey City, to supply water to the town
of Harrison for $50 a million gallons as
against the Suburban Water Com
pany's price of $S2.50 a million gallons.
DAILY asserted that he visited General
Manager %Shepperd, of the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad yesterday and found tina
the Suburban Water Company was still
trying to secure the railroad
for a customer, after having secured
the extension of their water contract
with Harrison on a promise to help the
town sell water to the railroad COM
pany.
DAILY further said that there was no
need OF extending the present contract
with the Suburban Company or making
a new n with anybody else, as the
present contract has still ten years to
rum, having been made in 1908 for a
period of fifteen years.
Before that contract expires he
SAID, water will be much cheaper. and
we may be buying it from the State at
perhaps $40 a million gallons"

Scale of Farm Wages.

Greeley.-The officers of the Farm
ers' Institute of this district have re-
ceived numerous letters during the last
month showing that the scale
of farm wages adopted at the
institute meeting here last month
and published in local news
papers has been generally copied all
over the country. Many letters have
come from Michigan, New York and
liwa from laboring men, inquiring for
places TO work on farms at the prices
stipulated. One man IL New York city
wants to make arrangements to fur
nish laborers to the farmers.
All of this. the farmers believe.
means relief from the scarcity of help
here to handle crops during the har-
vest season. At the request of the
government immigration department
the scale CT wages has been sent t. it
so that foreigners seeking employment
in agriculture NAV know of work in
the potato and beet belt of Colorado.
The scale quotes regular monthly farm
wages with board at $40 month. or
binary work by the day On farms at Il
SIPS to So with board, higher wages to
he paid iJr special work anI for irri-
CATION. and cents a sack, without
board for picking potatoes. The de-
mand fer good laborers will be greater
the coming season than heretofore, as
each successive season brings from

Denvcr.-Informatio that Thomas

ing man, was mysteriously killed at
Gold Circle, Nevada, Wednesday night,
has revealed the fact that about the
middle of the month Beans had a long
race with some prospectors whom he
beat TO a rich mineral claim by twenty
minutes. Although the telegram an
nouncing his death stated only that
no clue to the murderers had been dis
covered, A. p. Mackey of Denver be-
lieves that letter sent to him when
Beans made his location will offer the
Gold Circle authorities clue which
may prove to be correct one. He be-
lieves that the men who raced with
Beans TO locate upon the claim had
something to do with his death.

Two weeks ago a mass meeting was
held here for the purpose of getting to-
gether on the erection of sugar fac
tory. A large number of farmers, dis
satisfied with the cut of the American
company in the price of beets from So
to $3.50 per ton, expressed their will
ingness to stand by the proposition.
More than 10000 acres have been
subscribed, and this with very little
effort Oh the part of solicitors. The
contracts are written for five years at
$5 per ton and so cents for siloing. The
Holbrook and Vineland farmers have
expressed willingness to subscribe
acreage IL it becomes necessary.
The committee of seven has started
plans for securing capital, and a sub
committee, headed by Mayor Thomas

factory will be independent in every
sense. and farmers will have the oppor
| tunity, OF subscribing for as much stock
as they desire The directors are deter

critical condition at the Manhattan

East Sixty-fourth street.
A second operation on his ear, fol-
lowing the one of last Sunday, was
performed at o'clock Thursday after
noon to relieve an infection of the
inner wall of the mastoid cells The
operation was performed by DR.. Ar
thur B. Duel and Mr.. Edison regained
consciousness, but his condition is so
serious that his wife. son and daughter
are at the hospital with him. His fam
lily physician, DR.. ]. II. Bradshaw, of
Orange, n. j., also was at the hospital
throughout the night.
Mr.. Edison is sixty-one years of age
and while it was admitted that a re-
currence Of his earlier ailment had
brought about grave condition, 1t was
believed by those in attendance that
he would recover from the serious op-
Grafton.
At night Mr.. Edison was resting as
comfortably, it was said, as could be
expected. DIR. Duel said:
The second operation, this time for
mastoiditis, was decided upon this af-
ternoon at "a consultation in which DR..
James S. McKeernon and DR.. w. c.
Wylie participated. Mr. Edison's fam
lily physician was also present. The
operation. though serious, appears to
have been successful and we look for
the patients recovery. His condition
