TO SUPPLY PURE WATER


 The voters of Williams have only nine more days to deliberate over the most important proposition tbe city has had before it in years On Monday, August Sd, they will be called upon to decide whether or not the Grand Canyon Electric Light and Power company shall be granted the franchise for which il is asking.
 A number of those who oppose the proposition declare the com pany's proposed water supply IS no good; that the water is not fit tn lrink. They point 10 the present condition of the water in the Cauf man dam to substantiate their claims. In view of this fact 1t is not out of place to state that tht company in it's application for the franchise asks permission to sup ply the town with PURE water. If the voters of this town grant the franchise, it will he SD to the com pany to supply PURE water or its franchise will become worthless Therefore the town.is safe in grant ing the franchise under the pro posed terms, no matter what the condition of the water in the Ca ut. nan dam may be. Without doubr the company intends to utilize the Jaufman dam site, bat it will no be able to use same for supplying the town with water of the degree ,f purity the franchise calls for without making improvements an( installing the necessary filterin, processes which will render th' water chemically pure. The fran chise. if granted, will call for PU RE water, and the company will fur nish pure water. If it doesn't it franchise will become void.
 During a converse tion with Dr Melick. the writer was authorized to state that the company would 1t any time after the system hat been installed and successfully op erated, cda slider any fair and jus proposition the city might mak' for the purchase of the plant iron the company. Knowing that Dr Nelick's word is good, it should be a source of satisfaction to tn, voter who favors municipal owner ship. to know this.
 The members of the compan, have interests in this town ant wish to see the same progress al only a good waterworks system can make it progress. They ar' not figuring on cleaning up for tune on the enterprise. but conside it a good. safe investment, com bined with an opportunity to show the town to the front If the voter of this town are foolish enough tt discourage such laada ble enterprise and public spirit, we fear Williams will have to sustain few first clas funerals before the town can com, to it's own.

THE STORY.

CIT HOU art early, but 1 am always
more than glad to see thee"
and as the king entered the room he
extended his hand to the stalwart
young man bowling before him and
warmly clasped him in a momentary
embrace. lie had taken a wonderful
fancy to this energetic official. and
welcomed his comings as he did no
other prince of the realm. There was
a fascination about the strong per
sOnality Of the young man which held
the man of maturer years. 1t took the
king back to the days Of full strength
of his own young manhood and made
him feel again in the push and en-
ergy and keen ability Of Jerebuam
the thrill Of the old ambition for the
accomplishment of great enterprises
From the moment that he had first
discovered the young man at Xereda
he had realized that he had gained a
master hand which would make pos
sible the carrying out of some plans
he had conceived for the beautifying
and strengthening of Jerusalem. And

to his condolences and finally had com
mitted to his hands the work of build
ing the beautiful Milo and repairing
the difficult breaches of the royal
city.
Thus brought into almost daily con
tact with the king the acquaintance
had grown until strong intimacy
existed between the two. The at.
PENDANTS in the palace soon learned
that of all the kings guests Jereboam
was the most welcome and understood
that the king was never too busy to re-
ceive him. For this reason on this
morning on which our story begins
they had FASTENED OFF to the apart.
ments of the king in response to The
request of Jereboam, who had pre-
scented himself at SO unusually early
IN hour and had asked for the king.
And in response TO the kings warm,
cordial greeting, Jereboam said
1t is the kings business which
brings me thither, else would / not

The Bordered Gown.

An original white frock of the
youthful simplicity" order struck a
new note the other day, being worn
by a golden-haired girl in slight mourn
ing 1t was soft filminess of very fine
white net resembling tulle, and both
the upper skirt (short to the knees in
front and apparently caught up at the
back of the waist to fall in irregularly
edged box pleats) and the lower one
were bordered with u deep hem of
black velvet, above which was en-
broidered in a jet running design of
round garands and ribbons, looping
over and under band of silver tissue
laid beneath the net.
This idea could be varied and car
ried out in all sorts of colors, or in
one or two shades combined with a
white or ivory gown, or all in one
pale hue.
The difference in material is often
sufficient contrast; velvet on chiffon
or crepe de chine, for instance.

TO BE ATTRACTIVE.
Hair Must Be Kept In Perfect Condl.
.tion--Arrange It to Best Advantage.

The secret Of beautiful hair is in
knowing how to make the most of it,
how to coax and coddle it into grow
ing, and to arrange it to the best pos
sible advantage.
1t is the natural frame for the face,
and whether or not this frame Is be-
coming remains with the woman her.
self.
A horrid, untidy, slipshod way of
twisting up ones crown of glory will
make tho most adorable woman look
like a cartoon.
Arrange it in fluffy, pretty, neat
coils and it will change the cartoon
into a picture worth photoEraphing.
1t is wonderful what terrible things
woman can do with her own head.
You think this when you go to a
matinee and view the sea of mussy
pompadCurs and crooked parts and
wispy locks spread out before you.
Hairplns are falling, hair ribbons
are dusty and soiled, straggly ends
of hair are looking out to see what
they can observe, while here and there
is displayed the business end of a
switch that has not been properly con-
cealed.
Combs are set in crooked, and in
many cases head Of hair looks more
like a birds nest than a couture.
To have pretty hair you first of all
must have clean hair.
This means that you should sham
poo it every two weeks.
The hair catches even more dust
than the face.
1t has thousand little arms reach
ing out for it.

WORK
LENDS ITSELF WELL
TO FANCY DESIGNS.

HuCkaback is again as popular. If
not more so, than ever before with the
fancy needle workers. No wonder,
after one sees the lovely bits of fancy
work made with huckaback and tinsel
Some very pretty bags are made by
using silver or gold thread to inter
lace the little huckaback threads and
often the work is more artistically out
lined with gold or silver beads thread
ed while the worker is outlining the
pattern. Every style imaginable is
seen in this work and many oriental
patterns show variety of colors with
gold plentifully used in outlines. A
dresser scarf was made with three
tabs at each end, each end buttonhole
stitched with pale blue silk and
worked with eyelet. Above this was Il
siX-inch band of pale blue mosaic de-
sign, outlined with gold In the center
was a triangle of gold and blue Pin
cushions, chair cushions and prac-
tically everything in Il cover design
can be fashioned this way. Little
opera bags are woven with silver
threads and hung with long pendant
silver threads and gold interviewer,
with gold threads and gold beads, or
black thread and gold beads. The
heavy silk-like floss is best for the
purpose and can be threaded with
finer gold threads.

REGISTRATION OF AUTOMOBILES.
What is Required of Owners Under
the New Law.

The last automobile registered in the
Office of the secretary of state was
number 2,224. Registration annually
is now required by the state law This
and the purchaseof many new ma
chimes during the past year or two has
run the number mp beyond the expec-
tations of dealers. 1t is feared that
in the years to come when man is
run over by an automobile he may
look M and hurriedly get glimpse Of
the number that may resemble this,
'22222222222 Neb," yet the mutiated
man could not be certain about the
long row of figures revealed to him.
The amended law requires registra-
ton annually for Il fee of 81 changes
the letter following the number from
the first and last letter of the state to
follow the number, but ma" is nor
the proper abbreviation for Nebraska
and has never been used except upon
automobile numbers. The ma" has
been a source of considerable specula-
ton by Nebraskans who have seen it
on the back end of motor cars. Auto
mobiles that have been registered ac-
cording to the new law may be dis
tinguished by the proper abbrevation
of the name of the state, providing
the owners have followed the law. All
machines bought since last January
must be registered for the year 1908.

WHERE STATE MONEY GOES.
What is Shown in the Books of Me-
braska's Auditor.

The books in the auditors office
showing the receipts and expenditures
for the years 1905 and 1906, show that
the total amount spent for all purposes,
maintaining the state institutions, ex-
cept the university, the supreme court
and district courts, and Legislative eX-
penses, amounted to 1881 ,51456. For
the maintenance of the university
$S77,765.75 was expended, or almost
% per cent of the total amount spent
for the entire state. Deputy Auditor
Cook believes this justifies him in de-
handing the filing of university claims
with the auditor, that they may be
checked over.

French Girdles.

The new girdles sent over from the
center of fashion are narrow strips
Of ribbon or velvet. They go around
the waist from the center of the
front, cross in the back, return, and
tie a little to one side in knot,
whence the ends hang to the knees.
1t is graceful style, but it will never
suit women who show any signs of be.
coming stout, for the lines in front
only accentuate the size of the hips.
