THE WATER TROUBLE,
mn
Dolng Best to Serve Water, by Turning-off-
an’On.—A Midnight Fuss,
The water situation has taken to the
serio-comie, from the shortage, result-
ing in families been out by turns, A
scarcity at the upper end is only reme-
died by shutting it off from the lower
end of town. It is turned off each
night, and on Bunday it was on two
hours in the morning and again two
hours in the evening, so enough might
be stored to help the women through
on Monday for washing, Surely this
is the best that can be done under the
gircumstances, and only long and
heavy rains will temporarily relieve
the situation. Friday the water failed
at three in the afternoon, and there
was no water for the rest of the day.
Saturday morning after nine the sup-
ply gave out, and there was no water
until the steam engines shut down,
which was done at noon .Since Bunday
the supply runs short in the afternoon
although three-fourths of the town
from the hotel to beyond the station is
cut off from six o'clock in the evening
until six the next morning.
Various reasons have been advanced
to account for the trouble, among
which the following :
, For want of a reservoir no water
could be stored. (The large reservoir
was completed weeks ago, when all
springs were flush, but nothing for fil-
ling the reservior.)
2, The springs had not all been de-
veloped. (All efforts to develop have
failed.)
3, Bad men of the old water compa-
ny have “let it run.” (If one or two
faucets can draw out all the water, it
is evident there can't be water suffi-
cient to supply about 110 faucets.)
4, The steam engines use up the
bulk of the water when families have
the first right under the laws.
5, There are being too many bath
tubs put up using up water.
6, The present springs were guaran-
teed to furnish an abundant supply.
{Don’t believe that, the owners of the
springs were not so foolish.) Besides,
timely warning was given—the officers
had eyes but couldn't see.
There they are. Take your choice.
Suppose the goodly number still on
the old line would attach to the pew
how much more serious would the sit-
uation be?
Sheriff Spangler says he was pre
vented from sprinkling his front win-
dows !
A comic affair took place at mid-
night a few days ago as a citizen be
gan to use hose for laying the dust.
Councilmen were hurriedly called and
an infant row began which was lively
for a spell, and all parties went to bed,
the dust being laid. Queer if there
should be no fun amid all this sadness.
Besides the annoying water short-
age, strife has been engendered, a large
debt piled up and one of our best citi-
zens lost his life—all the outgrowth of
spitework for revenge.
Storm at Eagleville.
Thursday afternoon, 20, the village
of Eagleville, this county, was visited
by one of the severest storms in its his
tory. Thunder, lightning and hail
were intermingled. Oldest citizens
say it was the hardest storm experi
enced in that vicinity in years. While
it was at its height the large barn of
R. W. Clark was struck by lightning
and burned to the ground. His stock
was saved but his farm implements
and grain were burned.
A Difference of Opinion.
Americans are noted for their devo-
tion to ice water and the Englishman
looks in undisguised horror at our hab-
it of drinking quarts of the cold fluid
when we are warm and tired. He is
taught when a child that awful conse
quences follow washing in very cold
water or drinking cold water when he
is hot.

A New Law,
A new law, just signed by the Gov-
ernor, prescribes a standard size for the
fruit baskets. Manufactarers of bas.
kets must plainly stamp as “short”
baskets or boxes of less than standard
capacity, and any marketman who
sells undersized baskets of fruit not
stamped “short” is liable to arrest and
a fine ot $25.
Need Not Use Stamps,
Old soldiers who are receiving pen-
sions will be interested in the decision
made recently by Commissioner Evans
who says that internal revenue stamps
need not be placed upon any pension
papers. Many pensioners have been
affixing these stamps to their pension
papers, but according to this decision
it would be unnecessary to do so,
Genuine Hydrophobia,
Dr. Leonard Plerson, the state vet-
erinary surgeon, has been in Bellefonte
for several days past on important bus-
iness. Last Wednesday he made anal-
7 | ysis of the brain of William Lowry's
cattle that died on his form in Buffalo
Run a short time ago under suspicious
circumstances. The doctor pronounc-
es it a genuine case of hydrophobia.

Ruttlers Drank Baby's Milk,
The Huntingdon Journal tells this
one: A farmer's wife living in Tell
township had a couple of young child-
ren, one of them being very cross. One
morning having a large amount of
house work on hand and having no
one to take charge of the child, left it
go in the back yard where it was tod-
dling about and crying. After a time
the mother noticed that the child's
cries had stopped and that everything
was quiet and went to look for it, she
was horrified to see the little one sit-
ting contentedly in the yard playibg
with two large rattlesnakes, having
the tail of a snake in each hand and
enjoying the music of the rattles. The
snakes had been attracted by the
child's milk as the bottle was empty.
The mother was too much startled to
make an outery and in a few moments
the snakes disappeared, and the child
missing his companions continued ery-
ing. The next day a bottle of milk
was set out there and the farmer was
on the watch. The milk had been
there but a short time when the snakes
again made their appearance and were
killed, one measuring five feet and
nine inches having elven rattles and
a button, and the other four feet and
four inches and having eight rattles,

Fenech Crop a Total Lows,
John I. Boyer of Mt, Pleasant Mills,
State, several weeks ago was telling
with pride that he expected a yield of
1000 bushels of peaches, and that he
was the only peach grower in Penn-

A Sensible Bill
One of the most sensible bills passed
by the legislature and now in force is
known as the “junk bill,” which pro-
hibits boys under a certain age from
selling junk unless accompanied by a
parent or guardian. Heretofore junk
dealers encouraged boys to bring brass,
copper and valuable fittings to them
and it had a tendency to make young
boys dishonest. To stop this practice
is the purpose of this bill

Clearfield Miners Unssay,
The strike seitlement in the Clear-
field region of two weeks ago seems |
likely to be broken by the action of a
small railroad. Up until this week
the railroad ran a train from Reynolds-
ville to the Big Soldier collieries to
carry miners ten miles to their work.
About 400 men were handled in this
way. Since the strike the railroad has
declared the men must walk, and the
miners called a mass-meeting, refusing
to go to work. Two thousand men
may go out.
