J- I ® IT'S DOWN The old water tank crashed to : the ground last Sunday evening at i 10:35. : It had been in a dangerous condition for several weeks and the crash was daily expected. Each morning for the past month our eyes would inadvertently turn to ' see if the tower was still there and 'I our thoughts often turned to the I "Star Spangled Banner" and the manner in which it came to . . .be . written , the anxiety of our citizens being something of a comparison in their anxious solicitation that the old crumbling tank should be lowered without danger to life or loss from violent wreckage. For I several weeks the old tower has been turning , twisting and lean- ing , The timbers could be seen to be rotten at the joints and the bra- ces were breaking loose , s parat- ing from their places , and the old tower was groaning under the heavy weight during each hard wind in which it was feared that the crash would come. Some who were least interested may have carelessly predicted that it would stand a year : or two years yet but - any one with common sense who cared , knew better. The tower fell out across Main street , piling up 10 to 12 feet high of broken tim- bers , and people wondered where they all came from. The tank seems to have burst from its un even position as the tower began to tumble and the water spread in all directions , rushing in a Johns town torrent to find level , washing dirt away from a hard street ten to twelve inches in depth , swept away Jennings coal shed , pushed his photo gallery off the founda- tion an inch at the west end , also some boards were caved in by timbers striking it either in the falling or the slushing of the water or both. - Capt. Shaw's building , standing to the south and almost under the huge water tank , was caved in at the sky light by falling timbers and the rushing water and moved to the south- nine inches off the foundation at the west end and about three feet to the south at the east end , terribly smashing the sides of the building from the fal ling' timbers , though no timbers fell across the building. Perhaps through the splendid management of our town board that the tower fell westward into Main street at time when a every- body was off the street. The damage to Capt. Shaw's building and contents that the city will have to pay , , will amount to many times what it would have cost to take the tower and tank down. It was due to the good manage- ment of the city board that no one was killed in the wreck , if any one wishes to believe this way to ex- cuse them for criminal reckless- ness and carelessness and the ad- ditional costs of this blunder will be taxed up andt paid cheerfully for the privilege of having these gallant fellows on the board. How about a house cleaning next spring ? ? The Indians camped southeast of town must have partaken too copiously of "spirits" Sunday night for they indulged in a jubi lee that lasted from about 9 o'clock till the water tank "moved"when . they gave one curdling yelp and took to their tepees , perhaps in wonderment of what kind of jug- gernaut their pale face brothers had now set in motion to subdue thorn. When the digestion is all light , the action of the bowels regular , there is a natural craving and relish for food. When this is lacking you may know that you need a dose of Chamberlain's Stom- ach and Liver Tablets. They strengthen the digestive organs , improve the appe- tite and regulate the bowels.

The affair was held at the home of Col. and Mrs. Tracewell , and was a "go" in every particular. About seventy persons mem- bers of the class : and friends , were . gathered together to bid Mrs. Daily farewell , and the atmosphere of genuine good will and fellow- ship that attended throughout the evening left no doubt that every one was happy and glad to be there. A bountiful repast was served , to which all did ample justice. No nicer testimonial of apprecia- tion of the good things that bur- dened the festive board could pos- sibly have been expressed than the manner in which everybody feast- ed. The hostess and her assistants certainly did themselves proud. After the inner man had been provided for Rev. Caldwell , in behalf of the bible class , made a few appropriate , feeling remarks , and presented the guest of honor with a beautiful morocco bound set of HTl'a valogues , " in ten vol- I umes , written by Holmes , and was gracefully accepted in tender words of appreciation by Mrs. Daily. Short talks were then made , by various ones , the remarks contributed by Rev. Caldwell es pecially being in a happy vein and elicited much laughter and mirth. He told of his fanciful dream of fifteen years hence (1925) ( ) in which he had seen Dr. and Mrs. Daily again in our midst , Valentine a great mart of trade with sky scrap- ers , paved streets , electric cars , beautiful parks , etc. , and all their old friends gathered together for a joyful home coming feast. Vocal and instrumental music added much to the pleasure of all. It was well on to the mid-night hour when the guests withdrew to their homes with fond farewells and cheering words to Mrs. Daily in whom they had found a splen- did neighbor , a constant friend , who had been a help and comfort and inspiration to them and they wanted to express their feelings of regard while she was here to hear them-believing as Lewis Merriman used to say , "Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up un- til your friends are gone. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving words while their ears can yet hear and their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them. " Mrs. Daily has been the leader of the bible class for some years and her departure is deeply re gretted by every member of that band of appreciative students of i God's word. She has been a faith- ful leader , devoting her time large- ly to the spiritual uplift of the class , and her influence for good in the church as well as in the com- munity at large is attested by all who know her. I . The Ladies' Aid also remem bered Mrs. Daily with a , nice little I token of their love and esteem-a handsome hand painted china plate and souvenir spoon.
