GOOD WATER SYSTEM

Batavia, Feb. 2.-The town officials
have met with a hearty reception
among the voters in the circulation of
the petition for submitting the water
works proposition to the voters at the
spring election, to bond the town for
$4,000 to build a complete water system
for Batavia.
The property owners have come to
realize the necessity Of fire protection
to say nothing about the convenience Of
having water supplied to the home.
At the present time Batavia is abso-
lutely without fire protection of any
kind. The old fire enginge was put out
of commission when the elevator burn
ed last fall, by having the rear wheels
torn out from under the tank and TAX
ing a portion Of the tank with them. 1t
would cost $50 to have the old engine
repaired and then it would be very
Anticipated and inadequate affair and
take it at its best, it has never been
much of a success in eXtinguishing

He was married to Miss Ida Penick

wife survive. Other surviving men,
bers of his family are his aged father,

berg of Canton, Mo.
Mr.. Fry had been ailing for three
or four years. Although of rugged
appearance, he had been a severe
sufferer from diabetes. At the time
of his death he was forty-six
years, three months and twenty-one
days of age. -...

Billiards of An Early Day.,
The greatest blizzard and snow
storm that ever occurred during my
life time in Iowa commenced on the
night of January 20, 1855. 1t had been
warm, pleasant day, the wind was
blowing from the southeast and about
10 o'clock it commenced to drizzle
rain About - o'clock the wind shift
ted to the northwest and it began to
snow and blow. The wind increased
to about forty miles per hour. Sun
day was the worst day that ever was
experienced in Iowa; the roads were
blocked for weeks and chickens were
frozen and dropped from their perches.
The snow formed crust and we could
drive over snow drifts fifteen feet deep.N
The snow remained until April 20.
On January s, 1875 there was an
other great storm. This was on a
pleasant morning, the thermometer
registering about 20 above zero was
teaching school and when | went to the
door to call for the morning session I
heard great roaring noise and on
looking to the northwest saw & great
cloud Of snow coming and in Q few
minutes the air was so full of snow
that you could not see very far ahead
of you. The thermometer commenced
to descend the ladder and before sun
down it registered II degrees below
zero, and on the morning of the 9Th
1t was 30 below and the roads full of
snow. Communication was cut Off
for almost a week.
In 1880 there was another fearful
winter. 1t showed early and laid on
all winter. Snow drifts were twenty
feet deep.

My father was three times member

production during the first half of last
month, the pay for which was received
Saturday. The miners Of this place re-
ceived about $4,000 in pay last pay
day. The next pay may not be so large
because the weather is so mild, with a
consequent falling off in orders, and the
fact that the Rock Island has finished
storing coal against a shut down, will
diminish the production.
