notified Saturday night to report al
the police court Monday morning
and answer to charge of speeding.
Five of them were on hand and paid
their fines and promised to be good
in the future Four have so far failed
to answer to their names, and as they
are known, his honor, Judge Hem
street, will issue warrants for them
and have them brought in, While the
authorities are about it why not make
few examples of the cut-out fiends
as they seem to take special delight

Saturday DR.. J. M. Christy. secre-
tary of the board of health, received
the report of the health laboratory
of the Missouri University ON the
sample of water taken from one of
the hydrants OF the Butler water
works. The report shows that the
count of intestinal bacteria is small,
but DR.. Ravenal. health officer at the
university recommends that the
water be boiled or filtered before be-
ing used as, considerable impurities
were found in the sample sent. The
sample was taken several weeks ago,
when there was more or less impuri-
ties in the water, perhaps due to the
flushing of the mains, which was
done about that time.
