MORI!: WATER PROMISED.

New Pump Bought by the City Council Monday Night. The city council in special session Monday night contracted for a Pohle air-lift pump, to be placed at the water works. This air compressor is highly recommended and was personally inspected by several of the councilmen and Supt: W. H. Cosby at Decatur, Ind., where it was giving excellent satisfaction. The city here contracted for the largest size made which is estimated to furnish 950 gallons per minute, or 1,368,000 gallons per day, and guaranterd to furnish 710 gallons per minute, or 1,022,400 gallons per day The cost of the compressor is $2,100 and it will be put in on 90 days trial and if not satisfactojy is to be shipped back at the company's expense. The machine cannot be put in here, however, before July 1st, as the greater part of it will have to be built. The council made mistake in not ordering it in March that it would have been ready for use at the commencement of the warm and dry season. The cost of operating this machine for the season will be about $150 which will be slight when compared to the great benefits to be derived.

Music Teachers'Association. The nineteenth annual meeting of the Indiana Music Teachers' Aasociation will be held at Terre Haute, June 23, 24 and 25. W. J. Stabler, of Richmond, a brother of Mrs. A. P. Conkiin, of this city, is president. A very excellent musical program will be carried out. Prof. J. E. Mack who has charge of the music in our city schools, has a place on the program in the discussion of the sub ject, "Public School Music, a Factor it the Elevation of National Musical Taste." Prof. Mack is doing excellent work in our city and in a few years the results will be manifest, as we will have a number of fine performers and singers and also a much larger number of people who appreciate good music.

The Old Court House Sold.

The material taken out of the old court house was sold at auction today. H. B. Thayer bought the stone in the foundation for $77 50, Geake, Henry & Co., the brick at $2.25 per thousand, Linza Walker the fence for $3 per rod. The rest of the material, including tin, iron, lumber and stone, brought $58.40. The figures above range low. The 900 feet ©f iron fence was bought at a cost of $1,85 a foot or $30 83 a rod and sold for the pitiful sum of $3 a rod or one-tenth of its cost. It certainly could have been sold differently to greater advantage but so it goes. The tax payers will stand the loss.

A Very Serious Accident.

Sidney Walker and Dr. J. W. Sparks went to Carthage yesterday to see Dr. Sparks' brother, Frank Sparks, a dentist who was struck by a scantling falling from a house, which he was moving. Two large nails in the scantling caught him in the mouth, knocking out Ave teeth and tearing the mouth two and a half inches in the right cheek.

An Ka»/ on litre Insurance. The very term ingKrtmce means something that Is surf, thktcaii be relied upon. If it can be shown that any system of insurance under not oily possible, but very probable conditions, cannot meet its obligation?, ought it not Relinquish its claim to such a title? I believe that it ia manifest thatthe "Legal Reserve" system occupies such a a position, and at the same time maintains that it is impossible to show that "The Fidelity" will ever be unable under its modern up-to-date system, to meet its obligations. The only thing in an insurance premium that can be restricted is expense

o'.

management,

and the Fidelity's position in this matter is one of its chitf claims to public confidence. There can never be any difference of opinion om this point for it is self-evi-dent. It is a safeguard that should be thrown around all trust funds but notwithstanding this, expense of management is the only thing our opponents have made flexible. Legal reserve, or a net valuation as a test of solvency means de struction, and loss of premium and interest many times all. The receiver gets rich pickings and the crumbs go to the policy holder. Net valuation as a matter of prudence means perpetuity—is life itself. I submit with great confidence that the Fouse system of insurance contains within it all the forces necessary to to perpetuate its existence, and have no fears of being contradicted. Then, men and women, if you love your families, be prudent, be prudent, and insure. Study the Fidelity plans Its security and cheapness. It is not a thing of a moment, here today and gone tomorrow. But it has come to dwell and to commune with you at your firesides. To abide with you a welcome guest, to protest and make sure. (This is the true office of insurance) and when the hand of affliction shall have been laid heavily on the household, taking away the prop and stay thereof, it comes and protects from the chilling blasts of adversity, tempers the privation of the widow and the orphan. Its protecting influence has bean felt in thousands of homes, yet its mission is but begun. Respectfully,
