HARVEY'S CITY WATER
PLANT IS WRECKED
Swapping Of Steel Bands Followed by
Terrific Crash-Damaqe Several
j. Thousand.

I Harvey, N. D.. Dec. 2S.-Damage to
The extent of several thousand dollars
was caused when the big city water
tank on the tower near the round
house, burst, emptying thousands of
gallons of water with the force of an
avalanche on the old electric light
building, completely wreCking the
lstructure and damaging the machin-
cry and supplies stored within. The
roof was demolished and the side
walls so cracked and scanned that a
portion had to be torn down.
According to J. A. Fredericks, who
was witness to the spectacle, the
bands on the tank appeared to give
way on the south side, and suddenly
the tank fell to pieces, the heavy
planks on which it was built falling
with the water with a terrific crash.
The damage appeared confined to the
old electric light building and an oil
house on the 500 line.

Washington, Dec. dS.--Work of
drafting a corrupt political practices
act to take the place of the owen bill
before the senate after the holiday re-
cess was taken up by senate sub
committee.
Many amendments to the Owen bill
proposing radical changes in existing
law governing campaign contribu-
tions and candidates expenses are be-
fore the committee.
One suggestion being considered is
the limiting Of expenditures in sena-
torial elections on a per capita basis,
allowing a candidate to expend pos
sibly two cents for each voter in a
thickly settled state. or five cents in
one not so densely populated. This
suggestion was framed to meet an OBJ
lection made when the Owen bill was
before the senate that hard and fast
rule of expenditures applying to all
sections was unfair

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is a dam
ger signal as much as d fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop a fire bell when 1t Is ringing,
but should cure the disease that
causes the coughing. This can nearly
always be done by taking Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Many have
used it with the most beneficial re-
suits. 1t is especially valuable for the
persistent cough that so often follows
a bad cold or an attack of the grip.

weather-beaten pioneer who bore the name of Cassidy, and his comfortable cottage obstructed both surveys.
 The advent of two railroads building neck and neck across the desert through the little town had naturally stirred every inhabitant of it to high pitch of excitement. Small wonder that Cassidy's head had become in some degree confused as to values, and by the time Rhinelander got around to see the bronzed pioneer with a check for two thousand dollars the price first put upon the property by its veteran owner-valuations had risen and Cassidy declared that he would sell for ten thousand dollars and not a cent less.
 Rhinelander, considerably taken aback, impatiently assented to the ex- orbitant sum named, and going inside the cottage. wrote out his check for it. In exchange he received Cassidy's rather uncertain signature, on the GUS tomary legal form, granting to the Copper Range & Tide Water Railway company privileges over the Cassidy land as a freehold owner.
 Seagrue. arriving from town, learned from his foreman of the status of the insignificant plot of ground, adverse possession of which might frustrate their persistent plans for obstructing Rhinelander. With his surveyors Sea grue hurried to the end of the work. and reached the ground just in time to encounter Rhinelander coming out of Cassidy's house and the agreement duly signed and delivered in his hand. And behind Rhinelander came George Storm ready to bring the men up to take possession of the Cassidy de mesne.
 Seagrue and his followers halted them and Rhinelander, feeling the vic tory all his own, explained the situa- ton to Seagrue, while Storm, amiably, but firmly. ordered Seagrue's men to get of the Copper Range property.
 Seagrue, without saying anything to controvert what he had heard, walked straight into Cassidy's house. I'm sorry to be a little late, Cassidy" he began, bluntly. You know we want your property. And we're prepared to pay you a reasonable price for it. not an extravagant price" declared Seagrue, impressively, nothing of that ! kind. but" he asked. buttonhoIing the old man with friendly emphasis, just what is right and fair. l don't know what you consider your property worth" he continued talking so fast ! the old man could not get a word in edgewise, but l have written out 6 check here for fifteen thousand dn;.
