It y ra] GIVEN A TRIAL, fu Three-Fourths of the People Connect with the Boro Water, The new water plant being complet- ed by the boro was subjected to a part test the latter part of last week and this week, and from the result the reader may form his own conclusions, All last week up to Saturday plumb. ers were busy changing connections from the water company’s mains to that of the boro, By Saturday morn- ing about coe hundred connections had been made to use the new water, The water company still has thirty con- sumers who were doubtful of the new plant having enough water and paid their extra assessment to be on the safe side. On Thursday evening the boro res- ervoir had about four feet of water in it. By Friday afternoon at one o'clock the reservoir was drained and the large pipes empty. The water was shut off from the town over night and enouzh water was saved to keep part of the town in water until Saturday evening, when the gates were closed down and not a drop was given the town until Monday morning. Daring Saturday night and all Sunday the need of wa- ter was greatly felt. People were com- pelled to drive their stock and had to be carried in buckels in instances a quarter ofa mile. Enough water was stored to run Monday until evening when the town was cut off all night. Every night since at six the gales are closed and what litile water is in the pipes the town must content itself with. No use of hose for any purpose is allowed and the peo- ple are instructed to use the utmost caution in the use of the water, The council blames the shortage on not having the large reservoir complel- some ed, yet seven-eighths of the water on the Liact is turned into aud the mains from until Tuesday were not filled. places in town there was no wa.er to the rese.voir evening. Men of cool reasonable minds who have gone carefully over water to be turned in that will amount to one hundred barrels per day. What our people have experienced during the last week is only a fa'r sample of what is to be expected from July 1st to November of every year, unless the council should be able to secure at least twice as much supply as they now have. It is reasonable to suppose that had there been any water to tide over the town, the council would not have left anything unflone in giving it to the people. Tuesday they started a man to dig out a spring. 300 feet of 2 inch pipe has been ordered to convey this to the reservoir. This same the water com- pany once abandoned because it dried up. On Sunday a half inch pipe would have conveyed twice its flow and still had room. The citizens of the town have lowed its representatives to buy a gold brick. Ifthey are not already begin- ning to realize it, they surely will in the course of a couple years, when they ” The Coffee Heart, The coffee heart is the latest to be added to the classifications of the fune- tional derangement of that organ. The coflce heart is due to an over indul- gence in that beverage, just as the to- bacco heart is credited to the use of to- bacco, or the bicycle heart to extrava- gance in wheeling. A medical direct- or in alife insurance company avers that over indulgence in the use of cof- fee shortens the beat of the heart, and that the excessive use of it hereafter will be regarded as risks in life insur Loaded With Ge: mas.
