FORMER RESIDENT DIES
AT HER ILLINOIS HOME
Mrs. John Ricketts,, Native Of This
City, Dies in Bloomington, ILL,
at. Advanced Age.

The Bloomington, ILL.,, Paragraph
says: Mrs. John Ricketts,, age 80, one
of the Oldest residents of central Illi-
nois, died at the home Of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Charles Hitch, 81 West Oak
land avenue, at 1905 o'clock this
morning. She had been Ill about one
week. Death was due to a compli-
cation caused by advanced age, i,
Mrs. Ricketts, came to this city from
Ohio, before any railroads provided
travel here. Mr.. and Mrs. Ricketts,
made the trip from their Ohio home
by water to the Mississippi, river, then
I'D the Illinois river to Pekin. From
that place they came to this city
by wagon over an established trail.
Mr.. Ricketts, for many years, be-
fore his death, worked for the Evans
and Son Lumber Company. He built
many of the beautiful homes of the
city. When the family came to this
city they resided in home on the
present site OF the w. B. Read 6

ing Into Reseryoir-Pre-
cautiOns are Taken.

The water situation in Maysville re-
mains serious although the force of
the Maysville Water Company has
been working night and day in an eff
fort to protect the city from very
serious water famine which would
prove quite disastrous especially so
in case of fire.
Working all night last night, the
workmen at the Water Works had the
small bank pump operating until
very early hour this morning when 1t
broke down and for several hours
there was no pump running, At about
eleven o'clock this morning one of the
small house pumps was started and at
three o'clock this afternoon it was still
operating throwing good sized
stream into the reservoir while the
force was at work on the bank pump
to repair 1t and they expected to have
1t operating too by six o'clock this
evening. With both pumps operating
the reservoir would soon be filled.
Taking all possible precautions,
Mayor Russell this morning cut off the
supply of water to the c. & o. engines
at the local station and they are re-
quired to procure their water else
where until the situation is relieved.
The stand pipe on Edgemont which
| furnishes water to the residents OF
that suburb is dry and they must seek
their water elsewhere. The Maysville
Electric Light Plant is preparing to
pump their own water from the Ohio
| river for their large turbine engines
thereby releasing~a large quantity OF
water daily for use in the homes and
smaller plants and factories.
At the request OF Mayor T. NJ. Rus
| sell, the Government Engineers at
Dam 33 have one of their dredge boats
at work near the intake of the Water
Works clearing away much rubbish so
that the pumps can work to better
| duNultuSt
If the Water Company employees are
successful in getting the second pump
| to work this evening the situation will
soon be relieved but on the other hand
should there be an accident to put the
ono pump now in operation, out OF
commission, there would be serious
water famine within two hours as
there is no more than two feet of wat
er in the reservoir at the present
time.
