There is, SO far as che mical an
alysis shows, nothing the matter
with this water. In fact it is a
very good one from a chemical
point of view. fancy your trou-
BILE comes from your pipe system
IN some way.
If you do not object to the Sug-
geStion it seems to ME it would
be perhaps worth while to try to
collect some of the deposit of
which you spoke by using one of
the common water filters which
are attached directly to the fau-
Get. When you have used 1t for
a month or SO, the porous clay
filter might be sent up to me just
as it is taken out of the tiltering
apparatus. could then clean it
and probably in this way get
enough OF the deposit to analyze.
There is nothing III the water
so far as we can see to cause the
pipes to rust unduly.
Hoping that the chemical end
Of this work is satisfactory to you
and your city, ! am
Yours very truly,
BFNTDN DATFS.

ELECTED OFFICERS
Federation of Womans Clubs Met
Monday Afternoon

Monday Afternoon
Monday afternoon the City Fed
Grafton of Women $ Clubs elected
its officers for the coming year,
There was a large attendance,
and the results of the election
seemed very satisfactory. The
announcement that Mrs. a. +.
Hill, president, had been re-elect-
ed by very large majority, was
received with applause. Miss
Genevieve keim, vice president,
and Miss Lillian Banks, secretary,
also were reelected. and Mrs,
Chas. Hargraye was elected treas
urer, all with majorities, on the
first ballot. Hereafter the Fed
Grafton will hold its regular meet
ings on the first Monday of each
month.
It was voted that the Fedora
tion undertake, later in the spring,
to assist in the campaign against
tuberculosis, which in the last
few years has resulted in a re
marka bic dimiuution of the death
rate from this disease in many
parts OF the world. One of the
clubs OF the Federation, Sorosis.
has already ordered a number Of
printed cards bearing rules to be
observed for the care and preyen-
tion OF the disease. The cards
will be posted in public places,
and the other clubs will take up
different phases of the work. 1t
is hoped also to arrange for a
free public lecture by some author
ity on this subject.
Plans have been completed for
the Manual Training exhibit and
address by Professor Stephens of
Lincoln, to be held in the court
room, Friday evening, March %.
The Federation has provided this
very interesting and suggestive
entertainment in the belief that
our citizens, whether they have
previously given any particular
thought to the subject OF manual
training or not, should have an
opportunity to see how the pupils
Of other schools have proiited by
the chance to work with their
hands. Articles OF wood, iron
and leather some Of which have
been sold at other exhibits will
be found III the display. The
small admission fee of ten cents
is charged to cover the expenses
of the entertainment.
The Federation will meet again
on Monday, April ;, at ; o'clock,
in the Elks rooms.

ANrI-SALOoN PLATFORM
Exulting in the advanced in the anti
saloon fight, not only in public senti-
ment, but in actual laws, passed and
enforced. throughout the United
States, we believe that Falls City can
and should live without the revenue
coming from the rum traffic. Towns
like Hiawatha. Auburn, Pawnee City.
York and hundreds of other towns,
witness that, financially and morally,
they are better without saloons.
In caucus. now assembled, we pro
nounce the following platform:
First-We are unalterably opposed
to the existence of open saloons in
Falls City.
Second That the candidate of the
Citizens ticket for mayor, should not
be elected as he has publicly declared
that saloons cannot live and obey the
Slocum law, under which they will
operate if licensed: the necessary in
ference being that he would tolerate
It's violation, if elected.
Third-That we stand for law en-
forcement. ineyery particular, whether
touching saloons Sanlouhs or o'l'ei

Fourth-Ihat the administration ol

Junior stopped with a cry. In the
Pickering light there glared at him
the face of a devil, malevolent pur-
pose in every rigid feature. Almost
before his startled cry escaped him,
he was seized, gagged and bound with
his line securely to one of the upright
timbers. Then the distorted, I'M

him In a hideous, silent, malignant

1t had not seemed a particularly de-
sirable accomplishment In q man.
That was before the advent OF Junior,
with his voice, and the dueting that
had gradually absorbed Helen in an
intimacy that had of late left little
time for himself. He growled an I'M
accustomed curse, as the sound OF
voices and piano drifted out to the
veranda, where he sat, moodily
smoking; then he rose and said
