The measuring point was ' the flagstaff of the Western t'nlon build ing on Fourteenth street, the hall o which Is two feet higher than 110 feet above Four teenth and Farnam. The streams were raised on Fourteenth "street north of Far nam. The hydrant contract specifies that the water company supply pressure suf ficient to send eight one-Inch streams to a height of 110 feet, and that It must be done at the same time. "Not a single stream at any time reached a height of 110 feet," said Engineer Wil liams. "At times the spray of one, and sometimes two, streams mounted higher than 110 feet, but It was the Impulse and not the stream Itself that reached the re quired altitude." "A stream." said John I Webster, spe cial counsel for the Water board, "Is a continuous flow of water. Spray and de tached particles don't cdunt. This test proves that the contract Is not being filled In this condition. I estimate that the av erage height of the streams during most of the time will be found not much more than eighty feet." Ho Stream Hlarn Enouarh. The three engineers agreed that except occasionally no stream got as high aa 110 feet and that no more than two of the eight streams cast spray above 110 feet at any one time. 'To supplement the observations from the roof the engineers will compute estimates on the showing made by the water gauges attached to the nozzle of one line of hose from each hydrant. Four hydrants were used, two streams being sent from each. These hydrants were the nearest ones to the Intersection. The one on Farnam street between Thirteenth and Fourteenth had 250 feet of hose for each nozzle and the pressure ran from sixty-six to sixty-four feet; the hydrant on Farnam between Fourteenth and Fifteenth had 300 feet of hose and registered from seventy-four to seventy-one pounds pressure; the hydrant at the northwest corner of Fourteenth and Farnam showed a pressure running from slghty-four to eighty feel at the end of fifty feet of hose; the hydrant on Fourteenth between Farnam and Douglas with 150 feet of-hose marked up a pressure of from eighty to seventy-six pounds on the gauge. Weather Condition Perfect. Weather conditions were perfect and there were no perceptible air currents. Stockton Heth, treasurer of the water company, declared that the pressure was not accelerated In any way, but remained the same as usual. Governor Boyd, chairman of the Water board, most of the members and other city officials witnessed 'the test from the street. Fire Chief Salter personally superintended the work of hose companies 3, 4 and t from station No. 3 at Eighteenth and Harney streets. Water was running through the nozzles for two periods of about fifteen minutes each. Assistant City Engineer Craig had charge of the work on the street. Other tests will be made by the engineers today, but Just what kind and at what lo cations was not determined yesterday after noon. Pickpockets Busy at Fair. SEWARD, Neb., Bept. 21 (Special.)

Sept. 21. (8peclat.) Mrs. Margaret Utter, living on East High street, has Just returned from Garnett, Kan., where she went to visit a sister whom she had never seen and of whose ex istence she had no knowledge until a few weeks ago. The story reads like a ro mance. In the year 1873. near Indepen dence, Kan., lived the family of Cabel Piper, consisting of father, mother and three children, the! oldest a boy of 7 named Samuel, and two little girls, the elder I and the younger a babe of only 11 months. Like many others, he met with reverses at that time. He was a man well advanced in years, his wife being much younger than himself. To double his misfortunes he suffered a stroke of paralysis and his wife was unable to maintain the family. Under these conditions the children were given homes with friends, while Mr. Piper went to live with his son by a former marriage. Belle, the older girl, was adopted by T. C. Brunson and has been reared and educated as though she were their own daugbter, she being the only child In the family. The younger of the two girls was adopted Into the family of Captain Carroll, who at that time lived at Independence, but who re moved to Beatrice a short time afterward. bringing the little girl with them, where she was reared and educated in the schools of Beatrice as Margaret Carroll. Captain Carroll died some years after coming to Beatrice and Mrs. Carroll and Margaret removed to Chicago. As Mrs. Utter's foster parents were very fond of her, she being the only child, they never told her of her adoption. After her marriage she again be came a resident of Beatrice, and it was by accident that she learned of her real fam ily history and discovered her identity, Mrs. Utter, after learning that she had a sister, has been trying to locate her for some time, but as she had changed her name by marriage the task was not an easy one. Less than a month ago she finally succeeded In locating her sister at Garnett, Kan., and hastened there to meet her. The two sisters will now attempt to And their brother, whom they feel sure is Uvlng In Iowa, Railroad Gets Right-of-way. BLAIR, Neb., Bept. 21. (Special.) At meeting of the city council last night an order was passed granting the right-of-way for a spur switch from the main track of the Minneapolis St Omaha railroad to the canning factory, owned and operated by Martin ft Nurrle. . Though not on the same location, this is the same switch contro versy that the city and the railroad com pany had a fight over during the term of W. D. Haller as mayor a few years ago. At that time the railroad officers had their men run a large amount of material Into the yards here and at night put on a large force of men and had the track laid by 12 o'clock, when Mayor Haller ordered the fire company out to drown out the entire force of workmen and take up the track and stack the rails and ties, which ended the attempt to lay It at that time. The right-of-way granted now will not damage any private property, which was claimed at the time before, and will be a great con venience to the factory. Celebrate Sliver Wedding;.
