NEW AIR
IS
WORKING FINE
NEW APPARATUS AT WATER
WORKS PLANT HAS BEEN IN
OPERATION FOR SOME DAYS
AND SAID TO GIVE sATIsFAc-
TIoN.

Some day this week the city COM
missioners will make a trip to the
water works plant in a body to view
the working of the new air compress
or which has been installed, and which
is now ready to be turned over to
the city for acceptance. The COM
pressor has been put to the most
has given the most satisfactory of
service, but it has not been formally
accepted, and this will be the main
purpose of a visit from the board of
commissioners. The water works plant
comes under the jurisdiction of the
commissioner of streets, parks, etc,
but that commissioner, Mr.. Johnson,
will invite the mayor and Commits
sioner Pou to look the new addition
to the city's pumping plant over, be-
fore a final acceptance. This may be
done today.
With the installation of this adj
junct, and with the completion of the
new reservoir, and repairs to the other
ones, the plant is now in great shape,
and it is stated that nothing else re-
mains to be done to make the water
supply all that could be desired but
the sinking of the 300-foot well, which
has now been carried on to such a
depth that all local well-digging ma
cainery is said to be powerless to
send the drill further, as strata of
fiint-like rock has been encountered.

SEA KING HOME
FROM TRIP NEAR
MEXICAN COAST
LOCAL TUG WHICH MADE voY-
AGE UNDER CHARTER TO NEW
ORLEANS FIRM, RETURNED
EARLY SATURDAY, ENcouN-
TERING BAD WEATHER.

After an absence Of more than q
week, the big tug Sea King returned
to this her home port, at an early hour
Saturday morning, and during the day
engaged in some work IN the harbor
and on the bar. Upon arrival, the
steamer reported very boisterous
weather for two days previous, and
instead of being in port at 1 o'clock
Friday afternoon reached here about
the same hour Saturday morning.
One day on her way home extremely
unfavorable weather was encountered,
but the big sea boat rode through
handily and arrived safe, even If con-
siderably behind her scheduled time.
Her delay, however, caused no anxiety
here, because it was known that ex-
tremely bad weather had prevailed in
the Mexican gulf at the time.
The Sea King made a trip to small
islands about sixty miles off the coast
of Mexico, which are said to be in a
state Of development, the nature Of
the industry having been unexplained.
Several interested persons were on the
scene at the time the steamer remained
there, which was for space of four
days., and. 1t was described as har-
Dor very deep and almost surrounded
by a reef, which kept off the seas
amazingly well. Just what the nature
of the development was, at those out
of-the-way spots in the sea, was not
made known, but 1t is supposed the
parties are after oil deposits.

ARBOR DAY WILL
BE CELEBRATED
At THE SCHOOLS
QUITE A PROGRAM is IN THE
COURSE OF PREPARATION AT
SOME OF THE CITY AND coUN-
TY SCHOOLS, AND INTEREST is
GREAT.

Arbor day will be celebrated at
practically all of the schools in
city and county next Friday on per-
haps more extendde a scale than has
been known in the county in many
years. Quite program has been Sc
lected at some of the schools, and the
numbers are in process of prepara-
ton. A recitation or two, songs, the
meaning of the day, ETC., will all be
heard from well drilled pupils, and the
actual tree planting will by no means
be overlooked.
Mayor Greenhut will furnish for the
city quite a number of native trees to
all applicants who file requests for
them in time. To meet this probably
active demand, a number of trees
have been secured, and these are to be
apportioned as best they may be, to
supply the demand in all quarters
Not to be outdone, children of the
colored schools are also to hear from
learned elder members of the race the
meaning of Arbor day, and programs
in honor of the day are also to be rem
dered in these schools The interest
in the colored schools. is reported very
lively.
The hope is held out that when
trees are obtained from the city that
they will be recorded, and tended as
best they can, by the ones who either
actually plant, or who look after their
planting, and from the information
gathered at some of the city schools,
no tree will receive greater attention
than those to be set about on the
Fairgrounds on the yards of the city
schools.

RAINFALL NOW
NEARLY TWICE
NORMAL SUPPLY
WITH THE REPORT AT SEVEN
O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT, THIS
JANUARY HAD BEEN WETTEsT
OF CORRESPONDING MONTHS.

With the Z O'clock report resume
from the Pensacola weather station
last night, it was shown that the
total rainfall for the month of jan
uary for the twenty three days of the
new year is almost twice the normal
supply, as, with the heavy rains of
Saturday, afternoon and night, the
measured total last night was 7.55
inches, or 81 in excess of the normal
rainfall for the month
Records show the normal rainfall
for January to be 4.04 inches.
Pensacola people accept the delug-
ing rains as a matter of course, know
ing, of course, that they cannot do
otherwise. It was a matter of con-
siderable remark, however, that the
rainy Saturday nights have been ex-
traordinarily plentiful in this place,
and business men had something 20
say about it during the evening. One
remarked that the heavy Saturday
night rains kept the ladies home so
that they could reap a bargain har-
vest at the Monday morning counters.
The temperature yesterday had but
very slight range, the weather report
today shows. Less than ten degrees
difference was felt from the highest
to the lowest yesterday The lowest
was 38 and the highest was AZ de-
grees.

TRIPLE WOLFE.
A New Material For Underwear Makes
Its Appearance.


There is a new material called triple
yoile that is rivaling the fine Italian
silks as suitable material for under
garments.
1t is certainly very de luxe. If not
more so.
Any woman will confess that silk
chemises, combinations, petticoats and
nighties give her a sensation of wealth
that cannot be beaten by any other
wardrobe possessions. They are expen-
slve, but they outast the mlslins. How
ever. the new voile is said to Ike even
more durable and does not crush. This
material has the consistency of the
finer Japanese silks and is quite the
lightest weight fabric ever turned out
by the looms. Its durability is sure.
and for that reason it leaves handker-
chief linen and crepe de chine out Of
the running. The best colors are rose.
blue. cream and banana shade. and the
most belligerent and reckless laundress
cannot fade them.
Hand embroidery. narrow footinrs
and headings are used for trimmings.
For very grand affairs the tiny rose
buds and forgetmenots of ribbon are
employed.

punish the crime or prevent a subse-
quent murder. If the husband and IA
ther did not die Of his wound he would
subsequently be killed.
1t remained for weak woman to
solve the problem. AS soon as she
could be spared from attendance on
her husband Mrs. Rogers took bag
and went out on the plain. When she
returned it was evident that she had
something in the bag, but what it
was no one knew and no one cared.
She took it into the cellar and left it
there, locking the door. Every day
after that she would 60 into the cellar
take the bag and 60 down into the
hamlet, where she would spend some
time answering questions as to her
husbands condition, but it was notic-
ed that she was always looking about
her and had an eye especially on the
saloon.
One morning while she was thus en-
gagged Texas Bill came out Of the sa-
loon, smoking long black cigar. His
trousers We're tucked in his boots. his
flannel shirt was open. exposing his
hairy breast, and his face was flushed
with liquor. \ revolver was slung to
each hip, and long knife was in his
belt. Mrs. Rogers left her friends and
advanced toward him.
There was something about her move
ment to tell the others that she had
some intent concerning her husband s
enemy--a certain resolute look in her
eye, quickness in her walk She
seemed like David advancing to at
tack & Goliath. Was the bag she car
r1ed sling containing a stone?
Texas Bill stood for moment on the
porch of the saloon looking out on the
desolate scene, then staggered down the
steps and walked away from the group
OF which Mrs. Rogers had formed a
part. She followed him. While doing
so she raised the skirt Of her dress and
: from about her waist uncoiled rope.
When she came to within a few yards
OF Bill she threw moose in the rope
over his shoulders and when it fell to
his elbows gave it sudden jerk pin
loning his arms.
From this moment she moved with
llghtning-like rapidity, holding the lassu

she turned the bag over on Bills shoul-

self on to his back. Giving mighty
yell. he freed his arms and grasped
what clnng to him, but it was too late
to save himself from it's bite Wrench
Ing it off. he saw the deadly Gila.
Fortunately for the woman he was
too intently engaged with the monster
to pay any heed to her or he might
have served her as he had served hel
husband. He went bowling down the
road, and his cries were heard till
death relieved him of his agony.
Rogers recovered, and his wife was
ever after known as the woman who
