From The water Company.

August 18th. 1910.
To the Spirit of Jefferson:
Mr.. Editor. Please publish the fol-
lowing for the information OF the patrons
of this Company:
For the last three years the Charles
Town Water Company has been en-
deavoring to make such improvements
in its plant as would insure as perfect a
water system in Charles Town as could
be supplied.
The improvements already made con-
sist of raising the old staud-pipe and
constructing new one of far greater
capacity to furnish water at all elevations
the laying of an independent main from
the stand-pipe to the pumps. to insure a
water supply in case of accident, pro-
vidlng new engine and pump. laying
larger pipes in the place of old ones. and
it has already expended in these i'm
provements considerably over twenty
thousand dollars. and all of them have
been completed
In the early summer the Company ar
ranged to substitute large iron pipes 10
the place of the old terra Gotta pipes
which conducted the water from the
spring above town to the cisterns, pro-
ceeded to excavate for the laying of
these new pipes aud unfortunately it
was found that the old pipes were in
such condition and the leakage SO great
that there has been serious diminution
in the water supply. This of course has
beer a great regret to the management
of the Company and a great incon-
venience to its customers. but every
effort is being made to complete first
class iron pipe line which will insure the
permanent furnishing of the waters Of
the spring at the earliest possible
moment.
In the meantime. while this unexpect-
ed breakage in the pipes exists and the
laying of the new pipes is gong on, the
Company has always been willing and is
now willing to furnish abundant water
from Evitts Run or the mill race. to its
customers if they SO desire.

LAWS

Pierre, s. D.-The state and gov
eminent veterinary forces are work
ing together in the Missouri valley
at the present time to enforce the
dipping laws in cases of scabbies. A
number of individual herds are re-
ported to be more or less affected in
Hughes, Sully and Potter counties,
and these herds are being looked
after to see that there is no further
spread of the disease. The whole of
the state vas quarantined several
years ago, On account of the prevail
ence of scabbies, and a rigid cam
paign, with dipping of stock, prac-
tically cleaned it up. But with the
quarantine removed, some owners
became careless and there are cases
which need looking after to prevent
the situation again becoming as ser
ious as it was several years ago.

thorough investigation. They got
over there a little after 4 O'Clock,
and the suspicion of Mr.. Mcmahon
was realized when they discovered
the mangled remains Of a man
scattered along the track for the dis
lance of a block.
1t was a fearful and gruesome
sight which met their gaze. The
half of an arm was in one place; a
little further on was a portion of the
mans leg, and other parts of the
body were discovered still further on.
The mans scalp, as if it had been
severed with a sharp knife, was
found lying on the ground, and in
close proximity the skin of his face
was discovered. 1t had been liter
ally torn off and was intact
The men picked up the body and
took it over to Alexandria and a
coroner's inquest was held. There
was enough of the clothes left of
the man so that he could be identi-
fed. In a pocket was found a letter
which gave the name OF G. Hospeth-
aun, and the residence as Tifin,
Ohio. The chief of police sent a wire
that place for information of the
person.
1t is the theory of Mr.. Mcmahon
the man lost his hat by the
wind blowing so hard and that in
reaching for it he lost his balance
and fell under the train, where he
was simply ground into bits under
the wheels.
