Suggestions to Water Consumers
If you have a meter all the water
passing through it is yours, and you
should pay for it. No meter regis
tiers more than goes throughit. Your
service may leak or your meter may
not be read correctly. To test the
meter for leak see that no water is
being drawn, watch the dial marked
a." If the pointer moves at all there
is leak. If you doubt the correct
ness of the meter or the meter reader,
take vessel Of known capacity and
draw 7 Legations of water. If the
pointer on dial 81" has made one
revolution, then it agrees with your
measure and is correct. We instruct
our meter readers to always call for
someone to see the meter read.
If you have no meter put your ear
to the service pipe occasionally when
no water is being drawn. If there is
a leak you can hear it. If the leak or
waste is in your service your con-
tract requires you to call a plumber
at once. If the leak or waste is in the
service of others or the company's
mains they will appreciate the favor
if you will call the Superintendent.
II is misdemeanor to draw water
from any service without a written
permit from the Water Company or
to allow others to use your hydrant
without such permit.

Freiuht Crew Foruot.

St Louis, Oct. 16.-"The accident can
only be attributed to the fallibility of
man, as the freight train crew seems
to have had one of those mental
lapSes that sometimes occurred, caus-
ing them to forget all about the pas
senger train, Notwithstanding special
notification was given them that it
was due" is the explanation in brief
of the probable cause of the accident,
advanced by B. f. Bush, of the Mis-
souri, Pacific.
The freight train was made up of
nineteen loaded and three empty cars,
and was in charge of Conductor Gross
and Engineer Crawford 1t was an
extra without right of way against the
passenger train.
According to information received
by President Bush, the two men, both
of whom have been in the service of
the Missouri Pacific for a number of
years, seem to share the responsibility
for the accident
There is train register maintained
at South Omaha" said President Bush,
and it is the rule on every railroad
that train crews must check the regis
ters wherever they are maintained.
Not only did this crew have access to
the register but Train Dispatcher
Lane, at South Omaha, handed Con-
ductor Gross an extra precaution, a
message reading:
mo 1O5, with no signals, reaches
Gilmore Junction at $3.50 a. m"
For some unaccountable reason the
men apparently forgot all about pas
senger train No. 105
There is a double track from Omaha
to Gilmore Junction, so that all the
freight train crew had to do was to
wait at the junction until after the

Gun Kills Younq Man.

Colome Times: Receiving the full
charge from a shotgun which he was
pulling from the rear of his buggy
Sunday morning at II o'clock, the
charge striking him in the breast
John Hauck, homesteader living on
the sw 19-S7-77, twelve miles south
west of McNeely, was instantly killed
The accident happened at the home of
his brother-in-law, John Hermann,
who lives twelve miles south of Car
ter in section 22-97-79, and was direct
ly due to one of the hammers catch
ing on the edge of the buggy box.
Hauck left home early Sunday
morning with his wife, to whom he
had only recently been married to
spend the day with his sister, Mrs.
Hermann, taking the gun along. Ar
irving at the latter's home they alight-
ed and the young man attempted to
take the gun from the buggy, grasp
ing it with the muzzle pointed toward
him. Before his wife and relatives
knew what had happened the gun
went off. Hauck reeled and fell. He
was instantly killed Mortified, those
who witnessed the accident called a
physician, but there was no possible
recall for the life which had been
snuffed out in a second. 1t was a
frightful end for young man in the
vigor of manhood and terrific shock
to his bride, for whom the sympathy
of the entire community went out.

Mrs. George Hauck, of Naper, Neb.,
and was "a years old. He was recent

WITTEN A DIPLOMAT.
He Selects a Gregory Girl and a Dal.
las Girl to Draw Names.

Dallas, S. d., Oct. l6.-ln his selec.
ton of two little girls to draw the
first 100 names for establishing filing
rights in the Rosebud and Pine Ridge
lands, Judge James w. Witten chose
Virginia Foster, OF Dallas, and Doro.
thy Slaughter, of Gregory, thereby
demonstrating that the diplomatic
service lost splendid opportunity
when Judge Witten was designated as
chief law officer of the general land
office.
While this land opening has had for
its principal object the settlement of
Mellette and Bennett counties, all of
the interest at the two principal reg
istration points has related to- ques-
lions of prerogatives and prominence.
The members of the South Dakota
delegation in congress ran afoul of
the situation right off the reel and
quickly learned that it would not do
to designate either Gregory or Dallas
as registration points, without includ.
ing both towns in the list
In the subsequent arrangements all
of the officials connected with the
opening found themselves confronted
with technical and trying situations.
AS an offset to the fact that the draw
ing was fixed for Gregory, Judge Wit
ten established his personal headquar-
ters at Dallas, with +. J.. Wood, as
sistant superintendent, in active
charge at Gregory. The postoffce in
speCtor roomed in one town and put
in most of his time at the other. And
so it went all along the line.
Judge Witten does not allow him
self to be in the least disturbed by
the situation, but proceeds calmly
about his affairs. The appointment
of a girl from Dallas and one from
Gregory was strictly on his own mo-
ton, as he conducted land opening
in this section three years ago and
| is thoroughly in touch with conditions.

Dead Aviator Ainsworth Bow

Ainsworth, Neb Oct 16.-Frank H.
Keser, son of William Keiser of Aims
worth, was instantly killed at Troy, o.,
Sept. %, while making an exhibition
flight in an aeroplane at the Miami
fair grounds. Keiser was known as
Frank Miller, having taken that name
from the family that he made his
home with near Hebron, this state,
for many years, although he was never
formally adopted by the Miller family
Although the accident happened on
Sept. %, it was just day or two ago
that it became known here that Miller
was Frank Keiser, formerly of this
place.
The records of Brown county show
that Keiser when II years Of age was
sent to the industrial school at Kear-
ney, with an older brother. James c.
Toliver was county Judge at the time
and remembers the circumstance dis
tinctly. The boy remained in the in
dustrial school for a number of years
and then went to make his home with
Mr. Miller, near Hebron, From that
time he became known by the name
of Frank Miller. In the home of Mr.
Miller he grew to be man of thrift,
industry and of good habits. He was
of a mechanical turn of mind, and
after attaining his majority worked in
the automobile business for time.
Early last spring he went to Toledo
o., where he began the study of avia-
ton, and after a short time began to
make aerial flights. When the expo
sition season opened he was thought
to be sufficiently learned in the
new science to go out in demon
stration work, and was given a num-
Der Of dates to fill He had almost
successfully completed his list when
at Troy, o., his engine exploded when
200 feet in the air, resulting in in
slant death.
Upon hearing of his death Mr.. Miller
ordered the body shipped to Hebron
and the funeral was held at that
place.

Charue Filled AGAINST Carr.

Ewing, Neb Oct. 16.-District At
torney Whalen filed information Sat
urday before Justice Bignold of Ewing
charging John Carr of Stafford with
having done great bodily harm by
force of arms" to one Joseph Nc
Hugh also of Stafford. The charge
against Carr when properly analysed
means practically the same thing as
"murderous assault"
Since the shooting of McHugh at
Stafford Friday there has been many
ugly rumors afloat, 1t is alleged, ac-
cording to these, that Carr held a
grudge against McHugh dating back
for some time; that on the evening
before the shooting Carr on the pre-
text of going to ONeill, got off of the
train at Imam and drove back to
Stafford. It is then alleged that he
placed himself in hiding in hay lot
and there awaited the appearance of
McHugh until noon the next day, and
on the failure of the latter to show
up Carr started out to meet him. Nc
Hugh, it seems, has a room rented
above the store of Ed Crandall at
Stafford, and it was in this room that
Carr found him, getting ready to come
to Ewing. 1t is alleged that Carr at
once commenced beating his victim
over the head with a heavy cane and
in few moments the report of pts.
tol was heard, followed by McHugh
rushing down stairs with a shot in his
left breast and his head badly beaten
up and bleeding prOfusely. After the
shooting Carr, it is said, went to
O'Neill and gave himself up while in
terested parties sent for DR.. Briggs
and Rev. Father Rose of Ewing. Nc
Hugh was taken on the early morn
ing train Saturday to the hospital at
Council Bluffs. The sympathy of the
people is generally with McHugh, who
seems to be very well liked by those
who have had dealings with him. Carr
is big rauchman and is we'll known
but his actions on this occasion is a
puzzle to his friends. unless it be that
the brooding over the tragic death of
his son a few months ago as some
believe, may have temporarily unbal-
anced his mind at the time.

FAMINE AND FLOOD IN CHINA.

Victoria, B. c., Oct. 16.-News was
brought by the steamer Empress of
Japan that thousands are dying of
starvation in Kiang Su, along the
Yang Use following the floods, and
the situation was expected to aug
ment greatly the spread of rebellion.
Refugees paint black picture of dis
tress.
The whole country was under water,
the Yang Use having risen to such an
extent that it was virtually bounded
only by hills some distance from the
banks; COrpses We're floating every
where and the famine-striCken surviv-
ors were dying daily from disease. In
places, the Lang Use was thirty-five
miles broad and floating bodies upon
which starving dogs We're feeding,
were seen in numbers. An officer of
one of the river gunboats tells of see
ing number of mutilated corpses in
uniform, indicating the fate of some
imperial soldiers at the hands of the
starving peaSantry. Between 10000
and 10000 refugees probably from An
hui, were clustered at Marking in
hope of being able to get food and
shelter but their condition was appall-
ing, owing principally to the ravages
OF disease. Cholera was raging among
them and their houses were said to
be bad and filled with pestilence. The
death rate was reported to be be-
tween 200 and 800 a day.
Food had been sent to them but it
was almost impossible for medical
science to do anything.
