Tlie Bloomington Telephone of Tuesday says: By tomorrow evening the water will be exhausted and the water plant iosed down until heavy rains fill the lakes, and the people of the city will 'ramble for water as best they can. Supt. Helfrieh is going to run the plant until the water is entirely drained before he closes down. At this time of the year it is not thought that a drought can last long so no me is worried to any great extent. Cisterns all over town have been filled and besides there are springs and wells in different parts of the city tint give a big supply of water. TIi*' lire cisterns have nil been repaired and filled with watei so the danger from lire is not as great as it might lie. The city still has the steam engine which was used before the water works were built and Ibis will he used if a fire does occur. Meantime the weather report is “Fair and not much change in temperature.” : I OCA! OPTION I AW

Joseph Cline is making application for liquor license and it is stated that i is the intention to test the new local option law by an appeal to the .Supreme Court, if necessary, says the Bloomington Telephone. The application is made for the Troutman & Demos room, for the December Term of Commissioners' Court, hut it is expected that the commissioners will refuse, as there is now a remonstrance on Hie that does not expire until a year hence. However. the plan is to test the new law and an appeal is to be made, it is said, to tlie Circuit Court and then to Hie Supreme Court. It is claimed that the new local option law repeals the present remonstrance law, and the court of one Circuit in the north part of the State lias already held to that effect that is that both tlie remonstrance and the local option laws can not stand. So in case tlie Supreme Court holds tills same way, the Cline application would be ready to go into effect. In tlie meantime the legislature is to he in session, and there is little or no doubt but that the effort is to be made to repeal the new local option law.

Tills Dangerous and Often Fatal Disease is I iiusually 1’revalent In Indiana, and It Behooves the People To lie Careful of Exposure.

Word comes from Staunton, Clay County, bj Dr. Veaeh, Health Officer, of a serious epidemic of diphtheria at that place. He says that there have been about sixty cases there in the last month, hut many of them were so light that no physician was called. Some of the children who had slight attacks Went to school, spreading the disease. In one family there are seven children, six of whom are now down with the fever. It was not until there was a death from diphtheria that the full extent of the epidemic became known. Dr. Veach says that thc.whole town of 1,200 inhabitants lias been exposed, and the schools have been dosed. County health officer Williams today wired Hie state health department, asking that antitoxin he sent for the treatment of the poor in Staunton. In i uiiiiYdiun with this epidemic of the dread disease, so near to us, comes word from Dr. Hurty, Secretary of the State Board of Health. He says: Diphtheria broke out in many places in tlie state in October. The disease caused 41 deaths and over 1,600 cases. This unnecessary sickness and death caused immense anxiety, suffering, sorrow and money loss. Eternal vigilance is tlie price of fr from Infectious diseases. In time of peace prepare for war. At this time, let even slight colds lie looked upon with suspicion for sometimes what is supposed to be a cold is an attack of mild diphtheria. Mild uses are more to be feared for spreading the disease than severe eases. People keep away from severe cases, hut blindly run into and against tlie mild ones.

GOOD HORSEMANSHIP. An CIJ Hunter’s lllurtration of »he Gift of "Hands.” Your heart and your I ad keep up. Vuur hands and your knees keep down, Your l.ntue keep el-'ie lo your burses sides And your elbows lo your ow n. This old 'nil of advice for the would lie liorseniiiu is quoted by a writer in Daily's Magaiane and declared to he perennially sound. lie quotes smother old hunter on the subject of what be ealls "the divine gift of hands" In riding. This old hunter, John Darby, used to attach two pie cs of twine to the lisii'k of an ordinary chair and draw the same tighter until the eliuir Imlanced on its fore or hind legs, u< curding to his own position. Then when balaneed lie would keep It, so to speak, on the swing by gently mauipuluiing (he (wine or reins lie held in his hand. A rough pull would, of course, have upset the eliuir one way, whereas the fact of not checking it in Its movements at all would have eaused a total h-s of control over it In the opposite direetion. "And that,” when the exhibition was eoncludeil he would add, "is hands, gentlemen." Jogging to the covert, continues the writer, you n ay notice one fine horse, tlie owner fully equipped, throwing its head up and down like a pump handle, another sweating profusely, although the pace has not exceeded five miles an hour since It left the stable, and a third snorting and prancing about all over the place. W by is this so? Simply because the rider of neither of them Is possessed with the divine gift of "hands.” THE BEE’S STING. An Ugly Weapjn Something Like a Three Bladed Sword. The bee’s sling is made up of three separate lames, each with a barbed edge and oueli capable of bring tbrust forward Independently of the others. The c entral and broader lance lias a hollow face furnished at each side with a rail or In ailing, which runs its whole length. On the buck of each of the other two lances I here is a longitudinal groove, and into these grooves tit the raised headings of the central In neet. Thus the sting is like a sword with three blades iiniied, hut sliding upon one auollicr -Hie hurhed points of which continue to ailvan e alternately Into the wound, going ever deeper and deeper of their own malice aforetbought after tlie initial thrust Is made. Il is a device of war compared lo wliic'li II explosive bullet is but a clumsy D-niulUy. Yet lids Is not all. To make II d ith dealing powers doubly sure this tliorouab minded amazon must till the haft of her triple blade with a sublie poison mid so contrive its sli. ii.' inc.'liiiuisn) that the same impulse wha Ii drives Hie points successively forward drenches tlie whole weapon with u fatal juice.— From “The Lore of I lie Honey Bee,” by Tiekner Edwardes.

A 8TRAMGE uASE OF RAISING ihF DEAD.

I | GET

[Copyright, laos. by Am -iican press Association] There Is a vacant lot 100 feet front by 2imI feel deep in Hie upper part of New York about wlm h nearly n century ago residences were springing up. One day in is it xx.i-announ c'd that this lot had been bought by a man who Intended to use it for a livery stable. The proximity of such property being undesirable, residents of the ; neighborhood dabbed together and | bought the property. Two gentlemen Invested $1jnk1 each, forming a trust, every investor haring the right to nominate a person to inherit his Interest The property was to be kept Intact till but one of these nominees remained alive. This person was to then become its owner. The nominees were all under one year of age and selected from families remarkable for longevity. When ninety years hud passed but two nominees were liv ing. Gust ivus Clough Wyatt and Lydia Ward Selby. Mr. Wyatt was ninety-one years of age, Mrs. Selby ninety two and a half. Both were in fairly good health considering their advanced age. Mr. Wyatt had willed the property In ease be should lice to secure it to Ids sou, Walter Lambert, aged sixty live. Miss Selby’s Interest was to go to her greatgraudnlece, Florence Dudley, aged fourteen. Six years later both Mr. Wyatt and Mrs. Selby had expi ileneed a great change. In each there remained but the flicker of the last drops of life’s burning oil. Tlie property which one or the other would own was wortli $1,000,(Hill. Lambert, who would inherit if ills father should lie tlie survivor, was an old uruiudgeou whom everybody hated. Florem-e Dudley was a lovely girl with uo means whatever and engaged to Travers Trask, a young medical man who proposed to make surgery Ids >|;e ially. Since tlie inlieiiimi e of a million was dep "ident up m the lives of lliesi two agej people they were kept likv plants in a eiuiservai a... The slight esi draft of air coining near either one of them was eon.Tiered of nion importance than a cyclone elsewhere Both lived on toast water, and m il bet xx.'s pornihied to go out of doors. Mr Wyatt was under the constant care ot Dr. Myrtlexvooil, a young man \\ lios< \. hole lime was engaged for the pur pose by l.nniliert. Mrs. Selby was mi der the care of L>r Trask, who visited Iter every day. The autumn of 1!)- was balmy up n tlie 13th of November, In Ii a Id, a ta] came down that carried oft most ol those whose lives hung in ihe balance .old Mr. Wyatt add old Mrs selli.x both lay dying Mr Lambeit had pi'" in the Selby home, and Dr. Ii isk. whe had Ids tialieee’s Interests in ehaiyc managed to keep himself fairly posted as to the condition of old Wyatt. Fact principal was approaching tlie end ol the race, and it seemed probable that the winner might survive by only a few hours. Dr. Myrtlewood was keep ing old Wyatt up by stimulants, and Dr. Trask was doing Hie same by Mrs Selby. Sympathy was entirely xvitli Miss Dudley, every one hoping that she would inherit. At i> o’clock on the morning of Nov 14. while tlie storm was still raging Dr. Trask saw that ids patient was sinking. Word came that Mr. Wyatt could live but a fexv hours. An bout after this Mrs. Selby, despite the ef feet of the most powerful stimulants passed away. Lambert was still alive Within ten minutes after Mrs. SelbyV dentil the fact xvas reported to Dr Myrtlewood. who gave over a!tempting to longer keep his patient alive, and be died half an hour la er. Dr. Trask may be said to be on the scouting line of ids profession. Whih a student he had witnessed an experi ment xvliich lias startled the world He resolved to repeat it. Turning ev cry one out of the room where Mrs Selby had died except his Intimate friend. Dr. Semester, a graduate of a prominent German school of medicine whom he retained for an assistant, he made au Incision over the xvoman’s heart. He then Inserted bis hand and clasped the organ, squeezing It gently and massaging it. This process liekept up for some fifteen minutes, when a faint tinge of color appeared in the patient’s cheeks. Dr. Semester placed a mirror under the woman's nostril; nnd a slight moisture appeared on the glass. The massaging continued some ten minutes longer, when the patient opened her eyes. Hastily covering the body to the chin Dr. Trask summoned every one In the house nnd said to them: "I wish you to witness that on tlil> 14th day of November at 3:45 p. m Mrs. Selby lives.” At that moment the patient sighed and said In a feeble voice, ”1 feel sc queer.” "Do you hear that?” said the doctor "She not only lives, but speaks. Leave the room. Everything depends upon keeping her composed.” No one knew what was passing ii the sickroom till r> o’clock, when Hu two physicians emerged and unnonne ed that Mrs. Selby was dead. There was a lawsuit over the inher Itance of the property in question, but It was proved on the trial that Mrs Selby survived Mr. Wyatt by sever.i hours, so at his death she was the owner of the vacant lot. This mach good her xvill leaving the property t. her great-grandniece, to whom It was turned over by due process c .’ law. Dr and Mrs. Trask are about lo he married, hut are putting off the wed ding till after the 14th of November As to tlie hour of the demise s-lentlilt men have not yet given a decision. LOUISE B.
