MOTOR BURNED OUT AT CITY WELL

The citizens of the city Of WaKee-

right for the last three days. Tues
day and Wednesday they were with
out either municipal light water
The unused kerosene lamps were
cleaned UP and put into use and the
few wells about the city which have
been kept in working order were
worked over time in furnishing a sup
ply of water for the thirsty neighbors.
The shops and garages in the city
which depend on the electric current
for power were put OUT of business
The World office depends upon the
city current for power to run its
presses and for both heat and power
to run the linotype machine. The
machine was out of working for
two days hence there is an unusual
amount of hand work in The World
and Collyer Advance this week In
order to get The World to it's readers
on time it is necessary for us to just
stop setting type and to lock up the
forms and get to press. This leaves
some good locals which have not been
set and which will not be in the paper
this week. We regret that this has
happened but it cannot be helped this
time.
