Will DECIDE
ON WATERSUPPLY
COUNCIL, AFTER DISCUSSION OF
HURLBUT PROPOSITION TO
SUPPLY CITY WITH WAHA WA
TER, APPOINTS COMMITTEE.

The initial steps preparatory to
disposing of the proposal of w. p
Hurlbut of the Waha-Lewiston Land
and Water company to supply the
city with water from the Waha
springs was taken by the council
yesterday, when a committee was
appointed to confer with Mr.. HurI-
but.
The water question waG brought
before the council about week ago
by a communication from Mr.. HurI-
but. in which it was stated the
company would require an answer
from the council In a very short
time, as the plans of the pipe line
could not be completed until it was
known whether the line was to be
extended to Lewiston.
The council met yesterday after
noon to dispose of the sewer pump
matter, and after the transaction OF
this business the water question was
discussed generally. Commissioners
Howard believed the city council
should avail itself of the opportuni-
ty of securing the spring water. He
said that he believed this matter
should have been attended to years
ago, when the water rights could
have been acquired by the city at q
minimum cost, but that time was
now past, and if the council neglect
ed to secure the contract offered by
the Waha-Lewiston company he did
not know where the water would
come from.
Commissioner Booth stated he be-
| lieved that three-fourths of the peo-
| pie in the city would vote for the
Waha water If the matter was sub
mitted to vote.
Commissioners Salsberg stated he
thought the water would be good
thing for the city, but did not know
where the money would come from
with which to pay for it.
The question of the minimum's
being too high in the proposition
submitted by Mr.. Hurlbut, was sug-
gested by Councilman Phillips, and
after a general discussion a commit
tee composed of Councilmen Booth.
Howard and Salsberg was appointed
to confer with Mr.. Hurlbut.
1t developed during the discussion
that the class of pumps and motors
now in use at the water station cost
approximately $500 each and that
the life of this equipment is but
about seven years. 1t was also stat
ed that within very short time the
city would be required to construct
a higher reservoir to serve the resi-
dents in the higher portions Of the
city, and this would greatly in
crease the cost of pumping from the
| AAf1i- II dNN6t0DGa that q AANSA6h6
plant at a cost of approximately
$4,000 to install would be ques-
tion for the city to consider within
very short time If the water from
the river was retained as the elty's
supply. All of these matters will be
{ considered when the question of the
: tWaha proposition comes up for final
decision.
The matter of exchanging the
sewer pumps for ones of a smaller
, capacity was discussed at length,
Q after which the council decided to
make the change and instructed
I sunerintendent Smith and City At
, tornev Cox to proceed with the neeo-
: tiations and advertise for bids for
snunlvtpe the new euuipment, the
? large humps to be placed on the
: market.

PANICsTRICKEN CHILDREN EXITS MAD ATTEMPT TO
ESCAPE FLAMEs-FALI IN OPEN DOORWAY AND ARE TRAM
Piled TO DEATH-FALLNG FLOORS PRECIPITATE OTHERS
INTO BASEMENT WHERE PARENTS SEE BODIES BURN,

CLEVELAND O., March 4.-Over
$50 school children lost their lives
today in a fire which destroyed a
three-story brick school building on
Collamer avenue, in Collinwood, a
suburb just outside the city limits.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon 146
bodies had been recovered, and it is
believed several others are in the
ruins.
The fire started in the basement
about 10 o'clock, just after school
had convened. 1t was caused by an
overheated furnace.
The flames did not spread quickly,
but panic ensued when the build
ing filled with smoke and 400 chill
dren attempted to escape. There
were but two exits to the building
that were available. One of these
was used freely by the pupils, but
the other was soon choked with
children, who madly dashed to the
open air.
Those who fell in the doorway
were trampled upon by those behind,
and the little ones were piled up In
heaps SO that soon the door was i'm
passable, and the frightened and
panic-stricken children turned to
| escape by the windows or any other
means that could be found.
All Escapes Cut Off.
Escape was cut off by the flames
which by this time had spread
throughout the rooms. The build
ing was brick, but this did not re-
tard the fires progress. Soon the
lower floor fell and scores of chill
dren were precipitated into the base
ment among the burning embers.
The scenes about the building are
heartrending. Quickly the news o.
the terrible catastrophe spread
throughout the village, and hun
dreds of parents and relatives
crowded about the building II
search of their girls and boys. In
few minutes 20 bodies were recov
cred.
The horror of the scene was en-
hanced by the sight of the writhine
/ forms of dozens of the little ones II
the basement as the flames burned
about them. Nearby factories wer'
shut down and the men instructed
to assist in the rescue. Many heroi'
deeds were done, and many chile

First, modern science proves that alcohol is not helpful to any vital process. It is the ene- my of vitality. It overworks the organs with which it comes in contact, inducing needless fric- tion.
 Second, the appetite for alco- hOlic drinks is cumulative. It has no power of self-restriction. It grows by what it feeds on One glass calls for two, two for three, and so on in dangerous ratio.
 Third, the life of drinking man is apt to be divided into two chapters of very tragic serial, in the first of which he could have left off If he would, and in the second he would have left off if he could.
 Fourth, the power of habit is practically omnipotent. The power of will to cope with it has proven insufficient. The grooves of action are quickly worn. No harm results from doing without alcohol, but absolute good has been proven to result from such abstinence. Therefore as a friend to myself and the special guard ian of my own well being. l am

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health

1t is worth knowing that a change in
food can cure dyspepsia 81 deem it my
duty to let you know how Grape-N Nuts
food has cured me of indigestion.
L had been troubled with it for years,
until last year my doctor recommended
Grape-Nuts food to be used every morn
ing. I followed instructions and now I
am entirely we'll.
The whole family like Grape Nuts,
we use four packages a week. You are
welcome to use this testimonial as YOU
see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it
is predigested by natural processes and
therefore does not tax the stomach as
the food she had been using it also con
tains the elements required for building
up the nervous system. If that part
of the human body is in perfect working
order, there can be no dyspepsia, for
nervous energy represents the steam that
drives the engine
When the nervous system is run down.
the machinery of the body works badly
Grape-Nuts food can be used by small
children as we'll as adults. It is perfectly
cooked and ready for instant use.

therein, or, partly dry and partly
wet" The overwhelming sentiment of
the state at large becomes of no avail,
therefore, in such contest, and this
very sentiment of local self-govern-
ment which our whisky friends claim
as their reason for opposing statewide
action is jeopardized by giving little
spot the privilege of selling, and conse~
quently supplying by underground
methods, the remainder of the state
that wishes to be free from it.
This has been the experience through
which all local option towns and cities
have passed, and as progressive senti-
ment profits by past experiments it has
become clear to all those who are
earnestly studying this whole question
that the country has passed beyond the
local option stage, which always con-
templated the ultimate suppression of

workingmen of Chicago's poorest ward
could build themselves a palatal club
house and maintain it on a royal scale
with the money that they put into the
saloons for the enrichment of the brewer
and the distiller
Nor is it wholly clear that the temper
ance people have any call to devote any
part of their energies to making provl-
sion for social intercourse for men out
side the saloon" Far more than we
need the increase of social intercourse
we need the restoration of family life, i'll

Whatever need there be for places of So
cial meeting, it can be safely enough
assumed that provision will be made for
the need the moment that the institu
ton that usurps the need for the sake
OF batting its trap for evil is out of the
way.

SALOONS AND
SOCIABILITY i.

The Chicago Daily Ne7uS, in an edi-
says number of interesting things in an
interesting way, but lamentably fails to
get at anything really important. The
editorial admits that 1.-THE saloon, OF
course, is first of all place for selling
Intoxicating liquors for profit but 1t
quotes the Committee of Fifty" about
the poor mans club" and says:
The saloon is we'll described by the
old term public house" Nevertheless,
it is headquarters for sociabillty. 1t
is also true that while man may lose
his interest in liquor drinking or may
be deprived of an opportunity to in
dulge i'll that habit in a saloon he can
not easily lose his natural and neces-
sary interest in human companionship.
This fellowship factor in the saloons
attractiveness for many men is con-
slant and should not be left out of &C
count The movement against the sa-
loon will gain in rational method If the
temperance leaders devote some of
their energy to making provision for
dllQ Gaining dllcI!tlOll W Opol tuiiitiSo
for social intercourse for men outside
of the saloon
Yet the Meas is not wholly without an
inlling of the facts, for it also says:
Anti-saloon speakers as rule say
this question will take care of itself
They suggest that the home is pretty
good substitute for the saloon. Some
of them point out that the average sue
cessful workingman passes two or
three evenings week at meetings of
his union, fraternal organization, lodge
or other society and that on the re-
naming evenings he could well al
ford, if married, either to stay at home
or go with his family to the parks,
the social settlements or meetings at
churches and parish houses. AS to
specific substitutes for saloons, veteran
temperance takers recall that the free
recreation and reading rooms estab-
lshed in many towns as result OF
the blue ribbon movement of the
sos failed to attract men in any con-
siderable numbers.
The Neqos, like most Notwithstanding
observers of this phase of the question:
