! The End of Long Trail.
| Then for the first time since 1878,
when the water works were built, 1t
will be possible to operate either of
the two pumps with the other out
OF commission.
The pumps stand side by side with
a pipe from each going out of the
I building at the north end to connect
with the loop main that passes there,
one string of main going along
Water street some distance before
coming up the bluff, and the other
string of main going IN the opposite
direction straight up the bluff to the
city.
/ One valve between the two pipes
from the two pumps will allow each
pump to work separately, and allow
the city to be supplied with water
in case Of a break IN a main on
either side of the pumping station.
Only One Valve Needed.

there would have allowed the big
Holly pump to send water up town

Closing that valve that Is not there
would have allowed the cylinder. of

water straight UP the bluff and with

last evening.
i Soon after 10 o'clock last night,
the Holly pumping engine was fixed,
and in order to cut it out, the whole
water works system of Keoruk went
dry again.
Again Late Last Night.
One of the four cylinders Of the
big pumping engine went out OF COM
mission some time ago, and 1t was
necessary to get 1t working again as
soor as possible, as the three e.
naming cylinder did not produces
enough pressure for fires.
Everything was prepared by Super
intendent Seaman, and the repairs
were made in record breaking time
after the engine was stopped. But
repairing that engine stopped the
whole works, because the other pump
could not be used with the Holly line
open and no valve between the tw o
pumps.
The work was done IN the middle
of the night to cause the east in
convenience, and 1T was SO done tat
lit could be closed and fire pressure
put on within ten minutes after any

Until your cart adoins your crop.

But Jest as digging hours begin
I The boys commence 10 act like sin;
( It's hard to make EN- shake the tops
Until the last potater drops;
And some they maui and some they
mash,
And every good one gets a cash;
And next they pelt the old stone walls
Like Thunder, with potater balls;
And picking up they more than hate,
Unless it's getting noon or late,
And jest to show they're awful smart
They toss snake inside the cart
BY four o'clock the loads abeam
And Johnny goes and gets the team;
You brace your feet and take the
reins,
The neckyoke bumps, the eyener
strains,
The forrard wheels go up in the air
The hind wheels stay exactly there;
At last the combination works,
The big load moves with little jerks;
The basketfuls you've set on top
Bejiggle round till off they drop;
a punkin that you stop and pick
Along the way looks green and sick
At last you reach the bulkhead door
And back and gee and back some
more,
But when you start the cart to tip,
She tips too much and gives a slip,
And down she comes, ker-smash, and
splits.
The bulkhead casing all to bits;
The murphies make Hun retreat
And land beneath the horses feet;
Behold your cart of old renown,
The tongue in air, the tailboard
down:

For Mrs. Hen is not so neat;

The hired man laughs when he

And one of small, and that makes

But put the old dump cart away,
And sigh because you lost the load
You sold that German Bumbletoad;
And so you seek your piller slips
And dream of Saratoga chips.

 CONSIDER SUFFRAGE ONLY

Little Rock, June 24.-The call for the extra session of the legislature will be issued the latter part of the week While the governor has au- thorized no statement on the subject, it seems almost assured at this time, that the call will mention nothing but suffrage. Letters received from many of the members, and personal inter views with them, indicate a general opposition to the consideration of any thing else. Doubt is expressed in some quarters whether the legislature would pass the bill for state high way system if it were included in the call.
