Weather Forecast. Sbs't.-:-.— "air in south, showers and cooler in northern portion; Friday fair. Extended the Time. “Owing to the change being made in the gas line from the old to the new held all the consumers may expect a light shortage o r gas for ' at least two weeks, which time it will take to make the change and to connect up th ? new wells to the line now being laid. As soon as the new line is laid : *anl_ the wells connected we expect to give better service, by far than that given during the past two years. The company now has meters on h inds it is urgently requested that all persons who expect to use gas this winter will leave their order for a meter at once so that the company may be able to make orders in advance to the manufacturers for what meters we may need for other consumers. We are paying a bonus to th>- manufacturers in order to get all meters to supply our patrons at once and it is very hard to get an order, for'the demand on the manufacturers is so great that their capacity is almost exhausted. All the gas companies located in the gas belt have been driven to the meter system in order to supply their customers. We being some 42 miles from the gas field are driven to force the gas such a I<»ng distance, requiring the best class of pumping machinery and from '-Of to 1000. horse power steam to drive the great air pressure to supply our customers with gas that it entails an enormous expense. J. S. Bowers. Owing to the scarcity of meters and the slowness of the manufacturers to supply our orders we have extended the time for consumers to supply themselves with meters until November Ist. After that date gas will be sold only to those people who have the meters. This matter refers to consumers in Decatur. Monroe. Berne and all others along our line J. 8. Bowers.

When he returned to London \ from America he confessed that he felt far from well, but his physicians ! still had hopes of his conquering the consumption. The ambassador expected to leave Davos-Platz a week or so ago, in order to greet the Alaskan commissioners here; but he contracted bronchitis. Os this he wrote, only a few days ago. quite slightingly, saying it was only annoying because on account of it the doctor insisted on his not going to London to see his American friends. Lady Herbert intended to leave Switzerland a short time ago with her chhuren. but she apparently changed her plans and remained at Davos Platx. All Quiet at the Soo. Sault St?.
