AOTICE TO WATER CONSUMERS.

"Carefully Kead the Following Sections—It May Save Sou Trouble and Expense.

The following are sections of an ordinance that was passed by our Council if ome time ago, and compliance with them ^by water consumers may save considerable trouble and expense.

Section 6. Fountains and jets shall -not be kept in use for mere than three hours per day and for more than four '-snonths in each year without special persnit and payment therefore. The Common Council reserves the right to suspend the supply of water to fountains, jets and street washers wherever in the opinion public exegency requires such .suspension.

Section 7. Street washers, lawn and ^garden sprinkling shall not be used for aaore than three hours per day, nor suffered to leak or throw floods of water into the street, but merely to sprinkle it. .A permit for a street washer gives authority to wash the sidewalks and buildings on the premises to the extent of the frontage specified in the plumbers return only if it be used beyond that distance or for any other purpose, extra rate will be charged, and during all the term of street or lawn sprinkling or washing sidewalks, the hose must be held in the Jiand and not laid down or adjusted to Set the water run at will.

Section 14. The right to attach & hose of not more than one inch orifice to street washer with a regular nozzle for washing windows, buildings and sprinkling ^lawns, yards and gardens is hereby limited to three hours a day during the sea-\a-on. If lawn, yard, garden or street sprinkling are used to exceed three hours per day, double the usual rate will be •charged. Under no circumstances will the use of the hose be allowed without siczzle. No lawn or street sprinkler will fee allowed to run after 7 p. m. nor before 5 a. m. during the season, from May ,1 to November 1 of each year.

To CONSUMERS—For some time past I lhave been censursd and criticised for -allowing the above sections of the ordinance to go unnoticed. I have done this, .knowing that at present the city has ireen unable to furnish enough water to '-consumers at all times during the day. 1 now take this method of informing all consumers that hereafter the ordinance •-will be strictly enforced. I will now ^watch, as near as I can, where water is being used in violation of the ordinance, -and will turn the water off at the curb of .all violators. If this is not sufficient, it will be my unpleasant duty to prosecute -violators. I hope that I will not be compiled to prosecute, but my orders are to see that water is not wasted.

Enter Uriah Garris' Store and Tap the Sill For 85.00—Not Yet Caught.

Monday evening three boys entered Uriah Garris' store and called for ice cream. While he was getting it one of the boys quietly slipped behind the counter and tapped the till for about $5.00. Mr. Garris did not miss the money until he was closing his store, aad at once suspicioned that the boys had/lone the work. He did not report to the police at once, but concluded he would watch and see if anything further occurred. Something further did occur and that yesterday evening. The boys, feeling that they had escaped detection, concluded to try their luck again, so accordingly two of the boys went to ,the store yesterday afternoon and ordered more cream. After eating a dish a piece, one of the boys ordered a second dish, and while Mr. Garris was getting it, the other boy went to the money drawer and took out one dollar he probably did not have time to get any more. Mr. Garris was on the lookout and immediately went to the drawer and discovered the loss. He at once notified Marshal Scott and Policeman Johnson, who spent considerable time in looking for the boys, butgwere not successful in locating them. They finally caught one of the boys, who made a confession and told all about the robbery. The boys are Bert andEd Huffman and Charley Brown. The Huffman boys did not show up at home last night, but were seen there about 5 o'clock this morning. Before officers could be put on their track they had left town and are now probably at Knigntstown, as they had previously said they were going there to-day. The boys will be arrested as soon as possible, and the chances are they will be sent to the Reform School at Plainfleld.

There is more catarrh in this section of the ceuntry than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed «to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and perscribed local remedies, and by constantly vfailing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and there fore requires constitutional treatment Hall's Catarrh Cure manufactured by F, J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from ten drops to a teaspoonful.

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISASTER,

from the Story of Survivors It Was All Hue to Cap lain Taylor.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 19.—Au evening paper says: When the government's investigations stuill have beeu held there will be no lack of testimony to show the culpability of the Pacific mail in the Colima wreck. Besides the testimony given before the hull and boiler inspectors, A. D. McClelland has received a letter from his brother, who has a coast ranch iu Mexico near the scene of the wreck. Ten of the wrecked passengers are being cared for by him, and their story of the wreck corroborates all that has beeu said against the management of the ship. McClelland writes that from the story toldfjy the survivors at his place tho wreck was all due to Captain Taylor. "Certain it is," adds the writer, "that he made no attempt whatever to save the passengers. The rescued passengers tell me that the coverings were not even taken off the boats, aud further that the passengers were not notified of the danger until live minutes before the Colima went down. The freight ports could not be olosed on account of the immense cargo of lumber and other merchandise. The water rushed through these port holes, and in a few minutes put out the fires in the engine room. Then the Colima was practically at the mercy of the waves. "The passengers endeavored to take down the life preservers, but the mates forced them to put them back. One of the men picked up a preserver and he was peremptorily ordered to put it back when he had found it. All the women aud children were ou deok just before the Coljina went down, though many were washed off by the rushing waters or knocked off by the ilying spars before the end eame."

The government inquiry will be directed to ascertain among other things how it was that the officers of the San Juan failed to pick up the passengers who have been drifting ashore near the scene of the wreck after the San Juan's departure. There is abundant evidence that there will be something like a thorough search for the survivors if it is thought that many lost their lives through their neglect.

C. H. Gushing of Oakland, a Colima survivor, says: "The officers gave us no warning. No life preservers were furnished us and I heard no order to lower the boats."

GOVERNOR ALTGELD'S SURPRISE, to Meet In Illiuoia Legislature Called

Special Session.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills., June 19.—Governor Altgeld has issued a call for a special session of the general assembly. The session will meet next Tuesday, June 25. Iu his message the governor says the special session will be asked to pass revenue laws to relieve the deficiency in the state treasury to pass laws regarding sleeping cars charges and regarding the justice courts of Chicago. The session is called for June 25.

Other subjects mentioned in the call are laws to compel foreign corporations doing busiuess in Illinois to pay a reasonable license tax to establish a system to prevent the unnecessary accumulation of business in the courts enabling parties to dispute alone or with the aid of a county judge to select their own board of arbitration, inquiry or conciliation, grand jury, convict labor and libel law revision.

It is understood that bills on all these subjects have been drawn and approved by Governor Altgeld, and that they will be introduced at once when the legislature convenes. The call for a special session is a genuine surprise. There is much rejoicing in Springfield. The legislature spends from $ld0,000oo $200,000 ii: tho city.
