Some Historical Stamps.

Many intensely interesting histori'
cal events have been recorded in post
age stamps so that a large collection
OF stamps often shows in a most stri.
king manner how history was made.
There is period of French history
which Is particularly interesting in
this way because the stamps issued at
that time so plainly show the changes
IN the ruling power nom monarchy to
republic and back again.
On one French stamp you see Mons.
Barre's head Of Liberty and the words
Republic France" On the following
ISSUE of stamps-those issued in 1849
Louis Napoleon's bead appears in
stead Of the Liberty. the words on
the stamp being still Republic

stamp. on which Louis Napoleon's
head still appeared. but the words
Republic France were replaced BY

Special to Times-Republican.
Eldora, June 3.-Upon investigation
yesterday when the piping was taken
out Of the 1850 foot we'll at the city
pumping station 1t was found that the
we'll was clogged with mud. Last eve
ming dynamite was placed in the well
and shot off with the result that the
water supply was apparently increased.
1t seems that for some considerable
time but two of the pumps have been
pumping water and the third one
pumping air so that the water supply
got so low as to be dangerous both as
protection from fire and as a supply
of water for the use OF the city in gen.
eral
Further investigation is being made
today and it is thought that soon the
water supply will be up to the normal.
