LONDON ALARMED OVER
SHORTAGE CT WAFER


|, London, July 29.-Next Sunday
sill be the hundredth day of the
drought and grave fears are felt for
London's water supply. For 100 days
there have been only a half dozen
showers, hardly one of which was
sufficient to spoil a days outing, and
their effect on the situation has been
entirely negligible.
1t is hardly an exaggeration to say
the Thames is going dry. The flow of
water over Teddington Lock was last
week less than a twentieth of what
it was in April Then 524,0OO,OOO
gallons came over the weir daily; to-
day only 25,O0O,0O0, while in the ex-
ceptionally wet July of last year the
flow was .210. 100000 gallons, near
ly fifty times as much
Pleasure seekers find it rather anus
ing. They can fish at Teddington in
places usually covered by a raging
torrent. They can let their canoes
drift far below the notices warning
them OF danger of the lock in perfect
safety.

informed by fishermen that Govern

great deal of mystery around his
vessel ever since it was sighted off

see why there was any mystery about

BELIEVE CURE FOR LEPROsY
HAS BEEN FOUND.


Honolulu, July 26.-Use of the
new chaulmoogra oil specific as a
cure for leprosy has been so success
full at the Molokai island settlement
for lepers here that GA inmates of
Kalihi hospital have been discharged
as completely cured.
Authorities say that probably
within 10 years the territory will
lave no further need of Molokai as a
eper settlement; that settlements for
sprosy will be a thing OF the past,
nd that leprosy itself may perhpas
unknown.
To Arthur l.. Dean, president of
he Universiay of Hawaii, goes the
redit for perfeeting the leprosy cure.
,haulmoogra oil long has been reco-
nized as the standard specific for
sprosy. It's one fault was that it
had to be administered as a whole,
with the result that >the cure was
slow and inefficient.

AN EXPLANATION

The Public Service Company feels
that the public is entitled to an explana-
ton Of the outage occurring between
seven and eight p. m, Sunday. Febru-
ray 9Th.
The outage was caused by the
failure Of the steam plant at Galena,
Illinois, which required about one hour
to repair. All towns fed by the power
house were out of service during this
period. We regret very much that the
outage had to occur at so important a
time but we feel that it was unavoid-
able.
We want our consumers to known
that when accidents like this happen
to our line or plant that the manage
ment and employees are straining every
effort to restore service.

No Light, No Church Services.

Briefly before it was time for the
citizens of this place to go forth from
their homes last Sunday evening for
the purpose Of attending church, all
electric lights went out suddenly. As a
result our city was enshrouded in dark
ness, in doors and out. As conse-
quence all church services of the eve
ming were called off.
The "outage," as the Mineral Point
Public Service Company chooses to call
it in the company's explanation pub
lished in another column, is laid to
trouble at Galena. This is not the first
time that Mineral Point and other
towns hereabouts have been dumped
unceremoniously into darkness because
of trouble at or between here and Ga
lena. Under prevailing circumstances
and management, is it not also an
outrage" to be dependent on Galena
in any way?

Wisconsin.
February 2, 1860, deceased was united
in marriage to Reuben c Libby, then
of Mineral Point but originally of Port
land. Maine. In 1866 they went to
Portland, remaining there for three
years. They then returned to Mineral
Point and here she has ever since re-
sided Eight children were the fruits
of this union. three of whom died in
infancy.
Mrs. Libby was a lover of home and
all that goes to make home happy Her
health having failed her several years
ago. she was not able to get out among
neighbors and friends and participate
in welfare work as was her wont, but
she was always glad TO meet her frlends
and her chldren's friends in her home.
Her husband having died in 1910, since
then her children have given her every
care and attention. She was faithful
wife. devoted mother, and friend to all.
There remain to cherish in memory
her goodness and love two sons and
three daughters. namely Thoras and
Radcliffe, Mrs. Maurice Proctor, Mrs.
Harry Fessenden of Mineral Point, and
Mrs. James Pengelly of Dodgeville,

DODCEVILLE GETS THERE.

One who INDUCES in observation said
to a Tribune member the other day
''Did you ever stop to think where
our county officers spring 'front.' All
from Dodgeville, with the exception of
one" was his declaration. "and now
she has three candidates for Superin-
tendent of County Schools -
But what of it? Didn't the voters
of the county put them there? While
it may appear little selfish, there's
the question, what would Dodgeville do
without the county seat and these at
tached blessings Their get there
spirit is as much to be admired as is
their gall to be criticised Other towns
in the county have equal privileges.

Rejoice Your Liberty Bond. Go Up.


Liberty bonds are rising now in
value, or rather in price, for their real
value has always been above the mar
ket quotations The whole list has
moved up 81 hundred or more since
the first of the year, and with only a
slight occasional check is still rising.
The lowest issnes have been selling
lately at about $88 and the highest are
near sos. There is good prospect,
some bankers say, of the choicest bonds
going for par within few weeks. The
rise is not as natural as the low prices
have been. These securities, which
when every thing is considered, are
and always have been the best in the
world, went down chiefly for two rea-'
sons: There was business initiation
with it's resulting shortness of money,
which led great numbers of bond holders
to keep dumping their bonds on the
market to obtain cash
