OUT OF WATER
In SECOND CITY

Reedsburg is again having some
more hard luck. One of the water
pipes in the Baraboo river sprung a
bad leak and it was necessary to shut
off the water supply for everybody
west OF the river. The city engineer
turned on the water and found that
the big tank was drained in fifty min
utes so the water service for west
side folks has had to be discontinued
indefinitely. Word is expected from
the Railroad commission today Civ
ing the city permission to lay pipes
across the bridge for temporary use.
1t will be a big job to take up the
pipe in the river for repair. It can
not be done until the water recedes
and the weather becomes warmer.
The Sank County Training school
had to close for this week at least as
they use steam heat, which is affected
by the lack of water.

meeting of the high school debating
society on Wednesday evening, al
though not quite up TO regular. Roll
call was aswered by a 1 minute talk

piece of sheet music.

Be Allowed to Smoke in Public, was
the question under discussion. Messrs.

ry and Helm maintained the negative.
There was little about the discussion
of a light nature, all the speakers took
the subject seriously. Several good
talks were made, and the judges,
Messrs. Rooney, Macarthur and Thorn
as, gave a unanimous decision to the
affirmative. Beige spoke on the Centre

bers to be good one. He reviewed the

duct of members, as we'll as the per-
formances of those who spoke. The
