Water at Lonu View Park.

A reading of the water meter at
Long View park was taken yesterday
by Superintendent of Waterworks Dan
Kelly, and it showed that there has
been an average daily consumption of
$500 gallons of water for the past two
months there. The amount will be
greatly increased at the next reading,
as the demand for it during the pres
ent hot weather will be at least twice
and possibly three times as great as
it was during the past two months.
There is one 4-inch main which sup
plies the park with water, and it is
used not only in sprinkling, but in
supplying the fountains as well.

Preparing for His Trial on the
Charge of Murder in Cir
cult Court.
SHOOTS AFTER A QUARREL
Peter DeGols, Victim, Is Attacked on
Twenty-fourth Street Following
Barroom Argument.

The John w. Halves murder case
is next up for trial during the pres
emit term of the circuit court. The
trial promises to be a legal battle,
as the state feels that it has plenty
of evidence to convict the defendant,
while c. j. Searle, attorney for
Halves, claims that he will be greatly
surprised If he does not secure an
acQuittal
1t is understood Halves will set up
the plea of having shot Peter DeGols
in self defense. The killing took
place last September. Halves and
his stepson, Alfred Banks, had en-
gagged in a quarrel in a saloon on
the corner of Fourth avenue and
Twenty-fourth street. When the
quarrel began to look serious, De-
Coils, a friend of Banks took sides
with the latter, and quieted Halves
down. The three men had had a
few drinks together. Later on IN
the evening Banks and his friend
were walking up Twenty-fourth
street after a trip to the bridge.
Halves appeared on the east side of
the street between Third and Fourth
avenues and called over to DeGols
to come over and talk to him. The
young fellow complied and those on
the other side of the street state that
when he had come within few feet
of Halves, the latter placed a re-
volver against his abdomen and fired
it, killing DeGols. Halves was ar
rested and kept in Jail until last
term of court, when he was released
under $4,000 bonds.

BOYS PITCH TENT

HAVE SET DAILY PROGRAM
Young Folks Divided in Two Squads,
With Mr.. Gilman at Head of
Second.

Y. NJ. c. A Boys camp, Andalusia,
June 15.-The boys of the camp es-
tablished a new record yesterday for
speed in setting up their camp. Leav-
ing Rock Island at $3.50 they reached
the grounds at 10:45 and after a
session with the lunch baskets pro-
ceeded with the work of settling
themselves. Before IL o'clock all
of the tents were up and they were
ready for camp life to begin.
The tents are set in a row facing
the river, about a hundred yards
from the waters edge, on beautiful
grassy stretch, with just enough
trees to make shade. There are two
sleeping tents, one storage tent, and
one cook tent. In the tent under
the charge of Mr.. Smedley are Jay
Huntoon, Wilmer Cox, Worthy Car
stenson, Carl Hellpenstell, Harry
Cleaveland and Franklin Searle.
In Mr.. Gilman's tent are John
Pardon, Ralph Koerber. VIII Glass,
Warren Reck, Wade Rathwell, Will

Most Of the members of the camp
did not wait for the rising call this
morning, but woke when dawn ap-
peared and were up to see the sun
rise.
Triangle Camp Named.
Last night big pile of drift wood
was sacrificed to dedicate the camp.
While this was burning the boys
chose a name and christened the
place OF their outing the Triangle
camp.
With today the regular camp pro-
gram went into effect, with the BIZ
BILE study, games, sports, ETC.. and
that will be the plan during the con-
tinuance of the outing.
The river near the camp is very
shallow and the water is good for
swimming, so that the boys will not
have to miss that important part of
the fun. The weather is ideal, and
everything points to a fine time for
the campers.

Big Dividends.
If parents will give just a little
intelligent thought to the feeding
of their children the difference in
the health of the little folks will
pay, many times over, for the small
trouble.
A mother writes saying: "Our
children are all so much better and
stronger than they ever were before
we made a change in the character
of the food. We have quit using
potatoes three times a day with cof-
fee and so much meat.
Now we give the little folks some
fruit, either fresh, stewed or can
ned, some Grape-Nuts with cream,
occasionally some soft boiled eggs,
and some Postum for breakfast and
supper. Then for dinner they have
some meat and vegetables.
at would be hard to realize the
change in the children, they have
grown so sturdy and strong, and we
attribute this change to the food
elements that understand exist in
Grape-Nuts and Postum.

THE WIRELESS AGE.

Our history is moving on,
Has turned another page,
Upon the top of which we note
The words, A Wireless Age.
The farmers widest cattle will
Surely Craze inside
The new barbed wireless fences which
Some genius will provide.
The fowls, unhampered by the sight
OF firm, unyielding guard
Most happily will strut within
A chicken wireless yard.
Our pet canary bird will sing
Most sweetly, I'll engage,
And cheerfully will hop about
Within a wireless cage.
Then in our windows, to debar
Mosquitoes, gaunt and lean,
And flies, and other insects, too,
Well have a wireless screen.
And, best of all, we ought to find,
Before this page is full,
That when 1t comes to pulling wires,
There'l be no wires to pull.

Every returning steamship now is

those who become prisoners, the un'
willing are the tourists who have

the steamship companies are unable
to accommodate these people who
have trusted to luck to get tickets at

FISHING TIME IN THE PASIG
Swimming In Myrlads Near Surface
They Are Shared and speared
by FlIlplnos.

Friday morning Filipinos sharing
cells and other fiSh in the Pasig near
the old captain of the port building by
the aid Of fish snares caught the
largest eel ever seen on the water
front. 1t was fully ten feet in length.
Both banks Of the Pasig and all the
ships and lighters moored In the
stream were thronged with hundreds
of Filipinos with snares and spears
trying to catch the fish that In myri-
ads we're swimming near the surface
OF the stream.
Natives when asked in regard to
the phenomenon were almost unani-
mously in their statement to the ef-
feet that at this time Of the year the
bottom of the river gets hot and that
the fish have to leave the depths Of
the stream and fash back and forth
on or near the surface.
Another theory that seemed to have
n great many adherents was to the ef-
feet that at this time every year
there was a change in the character
Of the water, this change acting ON
the fish as q stimulant.
This theory was advanced by an old
pilot who has witnessed the phenome-
non for many years.-Manila Times.
