THE WATER WORKS FOR JASPER.
PURE Water at a Tb.. the Disease Breeding. Recently the editor of the CoruiKit wrote a letter to the "Iiowe Rump and Kngino Co.," one of whom, Mr. L. M. Howe, paid a visof a system of water-works in .las-
per, with about 2 !a or .'I miles of wire and six alarm boxes, so that pipcing. In reply we r .ceived a'in case of fire in any part of the
letter as follows: Indianapolis,. Turn '2(1, 1SDÖ. Mr. C. Dd.vnr, Jasper, Ind. "We judj that a system of water works such

It was estimated that a system to answer our purpose would cost: f-Jö,-000, a neighboring city having paid that amount for a similar plant, there land it was decided to issue and

sell that amount ot ootids, lliese bonds were sold to a Chicago party, but they, after considerable delay, refused thorn. The council made repeated eftorts to place the bonds, but were unable to do so until they iiowe rump ami engine l-o., oi indianaiiolis. The linn are bond dealers, engineers and contractors, and they told our council that they could give us a good system for $12,500, one-half of the original estimate, and they could handle this amount oi uuiiu, iiuving iiuougo tneir connection with eastern capitalists, unusual facilities for disposing of bonds. They prepared a complete set of specifications, plans, drawings and maps, snowing the entire plant m detail, the line of mains, location of hydrants or lire plugs, etc., and offered to guarantee the entire system to be practical, and to be able to give four good lire streams at the hydrants the farthest from the engines. The work was advertised to be let on thesu plans and specifications, the bidder to take pay in bonds, and to deposit the cash for the par value of the bonds in the Citizens Kxcluuigo Hank of this city. The Howe Pump and hngine Co. were the lowest and best bidders for the work and were awarded the contract. They deposited the cash in the bank on the 2Uth day of April, and at once began active operations; and had the original contract completed in six weeks. The city council then dutenrtincd to extend' the mains and add n fire alarm system. This has been done Our city now has a complete water works system, including a gang of lour inch wells, drilled about 40 feet into the rock, a brick pumping station, two pumps, each a halt mil-
lion gallons daily capacity, two fifty 'lmiwn nnwer hmlprs. 'Phis fiviw 11
horse power boilers. This gives us two complete puiiipinir systems, either 01 which is sulhcienl lor our town, keeping one in reserve all the time, and both can be used together when needed. We have about two and one-half miles of distributing mains, beginning with ten inch tem with two and one-half miles of city, the alarm can be immediately Hashed to the pumping station and (ire pressure raised at once. The domestic pressure carried is about fifty to fifty-five pounds, and this pressure-is equal to a Statut pipe e l time, whereas, with a stand pipe, such as one of our sister cities has, than halt as much, ami this lnadenunte pressure would be constantly Idccreasini: as the water lowered in the stand pipe. Resides this advantage, our water is always cool and fresh, beim: always in circula t , i 1 veyeu underground to me conthe iron tank, and gets warm, msipid and unpalatable, in summe.', land is liable to freeze in winter.

I iiy relernng to the insurance schedule established by the State Hoard of Underwriters, used by all insurance agents, in fixing rates, it can be at once seen that where we were in the fourth class before wel had waterworks, we are now in the second, with a saving of 25 peri cent, in our basic rates.

surprised at its efficiency und extent, when they consider the small amount of money it costs us. At the test of our fire alarm sys tem, it was arranged for the engi neer at the pumping station to re spond to the lire ahum with an equal number ol blasts on the fire whistle there. The alarm was sent in from the box farthest from the station, about one and one-half miles away, and in eight seconds the response was received hack lrom tho engineer this response serving as a general fire alarm. At several exhibitions of the p'nnt the pressure was raised from domestic to fire pressure in four or five seconds and four powerful streams thrown over the tallest building". Two lines of hose were attached to the hydrant on the dead end farthest from the pumping station, and two efficient fire streams were thrown. It had been claimed by some who were not well informed on the subject that it would be impossible to get sufVicient pressure at the dead ei.ds, hut this was hown to be a mistake, the pressure being ample and the streams very strong. Our people should give our city council great credit in this matter. .. .. t If the council had not nan a large amount ot energy, persevciance and good business sense, to overcome! the obstacles in the way, wo would very likely have been without this plant for some time to come.

COXUCCTKl) BY GKU. M. WIUOX CO. BIT Official TitlM. The matter of ollicial titles in thii country in exceedingly ti tuple, because there re none. The attempt has been made several timM b congress to fix official title to government o Okers, but all such ittempts have failed because the were not only undemocratic but uanecesary. In fact there it a lair of congress forbidding the affixing of the word "honorable" lo the name of a member of congress; and yet no blunder is more common that to use the prefix with the name of a congressman. The only state in the anion that has a law on the subject is Massachusetts, which provides thai the governor hall be called "his excellency," but in all other states the chief executive is simply 'governor." Tho people of the United States, while never growing weary of defending the democratic simplicity of all that pertains to tts mm a people, seem to have gone mad with the idea of hitching m title, to the name of a man, and from members of congress down the word "honorable" in made to do service. whether the man so designated be u bridge-tender or a sewer inspector. There is a very simple way of using the name of the office a man holds that is not only distinctive but complimentary, and good sense, if not custom, indorses such use. Mr. Cleveland, in ollicial circles in Washington, is addressed as "Mi. President," and other officers) ef the trnvnrnuient are ilr1ranrl hv I the name of the offices they hold. i!!lt is simply boorish to ad dree a letter to the "Hon. Graver Clavsland," when it should be addressed to "Grover Cleveland, President of the United States," or simply "President." Americans destroy the word "honorable" by its so frequent ap plication to dishonorable : . . r nersnns. .to those who have tilled some paltry office, so that it belittles a man like the president, a cabinet officer or a justice oi me supreme court, 10 hitch it to his name. The knowledge that we have no official titles in this country might of itself cause
thoughtful persons to pause in their MeH-'w'ld career of calling everybody j"honorable" who doesn't self peanuts on the street corner. Chicago
' Kecord. Kales far the Scheel Kaasm. Supt. Mowiy, of the Salem, Mass., schooh issued cards to his r n "8 ülera, the following excellent practical suggestions on school government: 1. Prevention of the wrong doinir ia hettei better than punishing the i wrong uone.

Therefore, always trust your pupils. Ü. Absolute self-control on the pnrt of the teacher is a necenaary prerequisite to proper control of the pupils. 7. Obedience won is far better nnd easier than obedience compelled. 8. A child properly employed is easily controlled. 9. A school not properly con trolled is a school of little pragma or pront. 10. Never threaten: never chide angrily; above all, never use, in the least degree or under any circum stances, "sarcasm." Only one firm in the United States is making slate pencils lrom native slate. Queen Anne detested the smell of roses, nnd became sick when they were in tnc room On a Virginia farm two small colored boys, who were hired to weed onions, were started at odT posite ends of a row, and told to weed toward each other.
