RESERVOIR DRY
WalervIlle People Bad 10 Dc.
 pend on Wells To.tsy.

The Welton reservoir in Water. vile has gone dry and the natives are scurrying from one place to an other to find water. This is the first time the little reservoir gave out and people who depended upon 1t don't know where they are at. Let us hope no such thing ever will happen at the Branch and East Mountain. What calamity 1t would be If peo- pie couldn't get anything out Of their faucets and while folks were wondering what was up the fire alarm sounded and the whole de- partment turned out, but when they buckled onto the nearest hydrants there was not drop of water in them. Chief Snagg was there In his flying machine and the apparatus was in first class condition, but the whole combination, men, engines, horses and miles of hose, didn't amount to anything in the absence of one of the essentials, water, and the fire fiend had things his own way,

TUE CITY WAFER
Is Just q Coed q Eyer, Ivea
 Though Il rssles DliIsseslIy.

There Is peculiar taste in tho city water to-day, but Superintsn- dent Kennedy says 1t is nothing to be alarmed over, the change being due to the fact that the outlet from which the water now leaves tho reservoir is eleven feet lower than usual. MT Kennedy had the water analysed yesterday by State Chemist Smith. who pronounced 1t all right. The Branch reservoir is 19N feet below the spillway, the lowest since the masonry dam was raised to tts present elevation, still the superin- tendent does not look for water famine, but unless 1t rains before next Tuesday night he will be likely to ask the board of public works to discontinue sprinkling. The rain- fall during the month of September amounted to just II of an inch, the lowest on record at MT Welton's of flee, but of course the month is not gone yet and for all one can tell 1t may make up for the great drought of the past twenty-six days by a downpour that will fill the reser- voirs to overflowing.
 East Mountain is holding it's own, and Cooke street will tide us along for few days in case we need 1t.
 Private reservoirs about town are nearly out of commission and the wells are very low, many of them not yielding enough for drinking pur. poses.

JEWISH HOLIDAY.
The New Year Starts TO-day-Im-
 pressive Services.

pressive Services.
 At nightfall last evening started the celebration of Rosh-ha-Shanah, the Jewish new year. The year just starting on the Jewish calendar Is the year 5669. The day Is a holiday among Jews all over the world, and especially, among those of New York, now the largest Jew ish community in any single local ity.'
 For the coming month there will be great religious activity among those strictly following the Jewish religion. Rosh ha-Shanah ushers in the week leading to Tom Kippur on October 4.
 After vom Kippur ,Rosh ha-Shan- ah is the strictest of the holy days of the Jewish rite. Even more than Tom Kippur, it Is universally ob- served. The great strictness and se- verity of Vom Kippur and the stress imposed upon the soul of the ob- server of its fast and tribulation have alienated many of those of Jewish race not in sympathy with the preservation of the archaile of the Talmud. The same Is not true of Rosh ha-Shanah; the reform. ed Jews unite to observe 1t, as well as the orthodox. Numerically per haps more important still, numbers of Jews who are estranged from their peoples worship to an almost complete extent return to the fold on this one occasion of the Jewish sacred year and travel some distance on the road back to conformity with their fellow Jews. The New Year festival is in this way an im- portant bond, perhaps the most i'm portant, among the ties of form that hold the Jewish race together. It continues to act on those fur thest separated when the other bounds are passed.
 Rosh ha-Shanah is 4S-hour fes- tival of a strictly ritualistic and de- votional but not of severe char acter. Travel and unnecessary la bor of whatever sort during its dur ation are prohibited. Services are held several times during the festi- val. The opening synagogue services will start at 7:30 o'clock this even- ing. The next services will be at 10 o'clock in the morning. The reform ed synagogues will hold services only in the first 24 hour period, but the orthodox congregations repeat them upon the second day at the same hours.
 Special hymns are sung and spe- cial texts are read and interpreted at these services according to rigid rule The whole ritual is prescribed in the Talmud. It is known as the Sedar Moed, the festive solemnity." '" The festival was originally ushered in with watch for the new moon, on which the calendar of the Jews was based, and with the annoLt ce> ment Of the occasion by beacon fires lighted and horns blown upon the mountain tops.
 Four chapters of the Talmudic law deal with the usage in inaugu- rating the ceremony. The horns, in Hebrew called Shofarim, now still play an irrro-tant part in the cere- mony of Rosh ha- Shanah. It has among Its many designations the name of Tom Teruah, the Day of Blowing. The ritual horn, now blown in the course of the service, is sounded with three blasts. The significance of this is symbolic of appeal. The first blast is for the Angel Sharshia, the second blast for the Angel Tharthiel. The third blast is for all angels, making an ap- peal for supernal help.

WEEDE HAS A FIND.
Jerry JOhnstOnc, Washburn Law Stu
dent, a Football Player.

The Washburn. football practice was
resumed late yeSterda-- for the first
time since last winter. And there were
twenty-five men out in suits all of
whom were on the Varsity squad last
season. Despite the fact that eight of
last seasons team are not in school
this season, prospects looked mighty
encouraging when the men responded
to Coach Weede's call or the first time
There was one bright ray of light
which penetrated the gloom which ex-
lists over the prospects for this sea-
sons team. This ray is in the form of
a new man who bids fair to make the
first team this season. and prove a
veritable tower of strength He is

He took work al the Washburn School
of Law last season and is eligible for
the Varsity team. Coach Weede thinks
he is fast enough for an end and his
physique is ideal for this position. He
stands six feet in his stocking feet
and weighs $50 pounds.
Hope and Munford were not present
last night when Coach Weede called
the roll. These two men are Senior
Medics and have more school work

about their absence. They will both
be in plenty of time

WrigSIes Upon the Stage.

The much-advertised cabbage snake

pered with, Mr.. Snake crawled right
back again. Mrs. Calderwood brought
him to town, and an obliging druggis:
