Danger of A
Water Famine.
Tho ltiirlitigtuu Railway Company
appeared before, the city couneil last
night ami asked the priviludgu of using
the city streets for their water mains
which they are preparing to lay in
tapping the Manier springs. The
council seemed disposed to grant the (
request but Mayor Foe urged tho coun
cil to wait for an opinion of the. city
attorney and objected to the passage
of such an ordinance before plenty of
time had been given to think tho mat
ter over.
Had this reqiiitst bieu granted this
city would have been lost so far as
water is concerned for all time to
come. No one knows what, our new
wells will rlo when the warm weather
and dry spoil s(. in, I'lm tiling for
Lliiu city to do is at. once condemn
those springs and be assured of water
if wo need it. After condemning them
and gaining possession of them we can
make sat isfticlory arrangements with
tho lEuiliugtoii. Asa joint project it
would be id' 'leuellL to the city and the
railroad but until we know what our
water will lie we are absolutely op-po-ed
to the losing of these springs.
We have come to the patting of tho
ways and we must act with decisive
ne.is. P. E. 0. Society. .
Gives a
Pknic
On Tuesday evening the P. K. O.
Society, which so often busies itself in
doing good, gave a picnic which was a
housuwarmlng and surprise party at
the home of Mr. and Mrs J. C. Mitch
ell. A few of the members had gath
ered with Mrs. Mitchell to practice
some of the mysterious secret work of
the organization, while the otheis,
each accompanied by her Hill were as
sembling at the home of Dr. MitchoII
preparatory to complete the surprise.
At eight thirty, under the leadership
of Holton Letson and l'rof. Morltz
this crowd laden with up-to-date pic
nic lunuhs marched upon the Mitchell
home and enjoyed the surprise on tho
hostess, which seemed complete. Tho
host however had early in tho evening
become sorry for his sins and was In
attendance at, prayer meeting, and it
took three preachers and a lawyer to
direct, him to his home. Tho evening
was spent in (dayiug games, and at
the midnight hour a long table, in
true plenic stylo, was covorod with
good things to eat. such as only the
l E. O. girls can prepare. Every Hill
present did his duty, but tho honors
were voted to Stacy Morhart as being
the biggest eater and tho shortest
man. Mrs. h. E. Talt, on behalf of the
society, presented the hostess with a
beautiful picture. To say that the
picnic was a success would be putting
the statement mildly.
