RELEASED AND ARRESTED.
Charles Rudd, Freed From District
Jail. Wanted ElsWhere.

Charles Rudd. a barber, completed a
sentence Of eighteen months imprison-
ment In the District Jail this morning and
was released. Detective Kleindienst met
him at the door Of the jail and took
charge of him for the Alexandria county

The prisoner was wanted across the
river as fugitive from justice. He
left the county Jail without permission,
1t is declared. while serving a sentence
for attempted larceny of a horse and
buggy, going away sixteen days before
the expiration OF his sentence.
Rudd was a trusty at the Alexandria
county prison and was in charge of the
gang on the road. Decoration day. in
1908, he went to the spring for a bucket
Of water and failed to return. He went
to Baltimore and later he came to this
city, where he was arrested and Jailed.
Deputy Sheriff Field took Rudd back to
the Alexandria county jail today. He
may have to spend only the sixteen days
of his sentence or the court may give
him an additional six months or year

where he had been working. and demand

The Lovett Drug Company sells the best prescription the world has ever known for disturbed and upset stom- achs. gas, belching. heaviness, heart burn. acid stomach and biliousness.
 It is called Mi-o-na, remember the name. and it banishes distress from over eating or fermentation of food in five minutes.
 It is guaranteed to cure indigestion. sick headache. nervousness and dizzi- ness or money back.
 No matter how long you have suf- fered you will find a certain cure in Mi-O-na stomach tablets.

 Harry Smith, l2 years of age and q son of l.. II. Smith, came to town suf- fering with the toothache. He want ed four teeth pulled and MT. Goodwin found in him a good subject. He got control of him very easily and while he had the lad under his influence. escorted him to Dr. De Vore's dental offices.
 Dr. De Wore was rather skeptical and predicted that the boy would never be able to stand the ordeal, bu: he felt willing to do his share. He according ly proceeded with the extracting of teeth and removed four of the most difficult teeth he says he ever found in a boy of that age. The boy claims to have felt no pain whatever. He passed through the ordeal with a smile on his face and was rather surprised after it was all over and he was brought out from under the hypnotic spell. to find that his aching mOlars had been removed

With the completion of the line would mean not only the cutting up into small farms of the lands un- der the Chandler system but also all the lands lying between here and the ranch. It wilt mean that adjoining the line on either side for at least q half mile that the land will in many in stances be doubled in value. As an evidence of this it might be stated that the real estate dealers have al- ready began to include on their lists the land which is adjoining the car line They realize just what effect that the line will have on the property and they are using it as one of their strongest talking points for they can not help but realize the effect.

CENSUS ABOUT COMPLETED.

The census enumerator has about completed his work within the corpo- rate limits of Mesa and all those viho have not been seen or have not been enrolled should make arrangements to get on the list before it is sent away. II is of course impossible to state with any accuracy as to the present population of the town. The enum orator is a man who is. as mum. as. a clam ,when any luestions are put to him as to population IL is his busi ness to find out every one else's busi- ness and then keep his business to himself. However a guess on the pop ulation of Mesa is placed at 1885. In order fo know the exact population will mean q wait of perhaps a month or maybe two months time. or until the figures of the precinct have been compiled

WAFER BOARD InCEnsEO
 AT WASTE 0f WATER
And a General Disregard of the
 Rules.

According to the members of the within the past few weeks developed an indiscrimirate waste of city Wa ter that has not only taxed the sys- tenn but if continued will mean that the municipal plant will not only fail to ever become q source Of revenue but rather will become a tax on the there are one hundred thousand gal lone of water pumped daily and of this the Mesa Dairy and Ice Company consumes twenty five thousand gal Ions. However the Mesa Dairy and Ice company's plant is on q meter and a close tab can be kept on that insti- tuition It has been determined that every tap coupled up to the system at the present time is using five hun dred gallons of water per day and that at the present rate there will be a consumption of fifteen thousand gal lone Of water per month per tap This of course is an average consumption. but it is an enormous amount of wa ter to be consumed by any one fam fly. in fact it is hardly believed that it is possible for any one family using an ordinary amount of discretion to consume water at the rate of fifteen thousand gallons per month.
 In the opinion of the members of the water board there are a number O. consumers using their water for sprinkling their lawns and also for ir- rigation. The sprinkling for instance. is clearly violation of the ordinance drafted especially for the control Of the water system and will be permit ted only through q regular contract for sprinkling privileges. There so far has only been one one sprinkling Chandler court.
 It has come 10 the notice of the members of the board that there is general disposition to disregard the rules laid down for the economical use of water. It has been found that parties going to faucet for drink invariably let the stream run for a period of several minutes in order to get a cool stream and then in some instances have gone away leaving the faucet open. Then again there has de- veloped new feature which has late ly been called to the attention of the superintendent which might come un- der the head of Borrowing Bath This it appears is becoming a popular fad in the neighborhoods where the houses are close together For in stance. the house iWhich is supplied with city water aud bath room has become quite a popular place for members of the neighboring families This especially appears to be the case during the warm. afternoons and evenings when the neighbors drop in for a neighborly bath at the expense of the city. ta
 II is the purpose of the men in charge of regulating the water system to commence systematic check with in a few days and determine if pos sible just where the water is going.
 This investigation is presumed will have to do; more with the waste by sprinking and irrigation rather than to try to secure prima facia evidence in regard to the borrowing bath charges.
 However the wate< situation is gradually leading to one end and that IS the installation of meter at every tap This is proposition that the water board has under consideration at the present time and the reported waste only hurries the plan along.
