I As to water rates, the council has been careful to study the prices fixed by other cities and the Girard rate ia lower than that of Joplin, Webb City, Fort Scott, Columbus, Cherryvale or Pittsburg, and the chances are it will be made still cheaper. In speaking of the supply in the well, it is unlimited, and the water has never been lowered by an eight hours' run. This is an item of great importauce, and one worth thousands of dollars to the city.

The next night they made a raid on the same house, but it was well secured. After considerable prying and work they obtained an entrance through the same window and blew the light out which soon awoke the family and there was a rush to get out, which they safely suc ceeded in doing.

The next place vis ited was a Mr. Cook's, who lives about 10 rods from Mr. Brown's. Mr. Cook had arranged an alarm and when they cut the tcreen and in opening it set Mr.

Cook's alarm rolling, thus top ping fun her proceedings. The next house Mr. White's, just south of Mr. Cook's and in forcing an entrance they awoke the familj who at once opened lire on the intruders who took to their heels. The same night a Mr.

On Wednesday the ex-joint was entered and a number of things taken and some money secured Here they got away safely.

The next house was a Mr. Elder, living near here. They secured almost every thing Mi. Elder was in possession of that was movable, and all the money he had a id some clothes. Mr.

Water Works. In the early spring of 1S93 the citi zens realized that a new system of water works must be for and no delay tolerated. It was impossible for the city un-dei the then existing law to vote bonds, and an enabling act was rushed through the" legislature by committee appointed; and on April 4, 1893, the bonds were voted, there being few votes cast against the proposition, showing the liberal and progressive spirit of our citizens as a mass. The bonds were issued, sold to the State Agricultural College endowment fund, and dated August 1st, 1893. At this date, July 28, 1894, 3,000 of the bonds, including the interest, have been paid, and $1,600 will become due in a few days.

The cash is in the treasury ready to meet the principal and interest. Of course, this has raised our taxes some during the past two years, but the day is not far distant, in fact is here now, when the revenue from the sale of water rights will help pay some of the city's expenses. It is not generally known just how much the present new and complete system cost, including the new well of 900 feet, grounds, tower, tank, engine house, two miles of mains less the mains around the square hydrants, but the total foots up exactly 16,182 24. The extra 21 has been paid from the general funds of the city and nothing is owing. It will be seen at a glance that there is a good and sufficient reason for increased taxes for 1893 and 1894 and we have got value received.

The site was secured on Cherokee and Buffalo streets at a cost of S400. There was some opposition to the idea of drilling a well to secure a water supply. The fact had been well established in this country that there were large and pure veins of water bensath the ground provided power enough could be secured to raise it to the surface. A contract was made with Mr. Crossman, of Webb City, and the labor commenced.

The hoie is ten inches in diameter for the distance of 300 feet and encased with the best of well casing. The last 500 feet an eight inch hole was sunk and the water was found. In fact, there was no experiment about it. The water veins had theretofore been located to a certainty. Between 750 and 900 feet below the surface a runciDg stream of water was struck, the same as in the old artesian well, and the water came up within 100 feet of the top, and it remains there.

The Hooker Deep Well Pump was secured and placed 225 feet below the surface. The engine and boiler are 40- borse power, and there is no lack of strength. The test shows that the pump will throw 120 gallons per minute, and the tank capacity is 60,000 gallons. So far there has not been the least trouble in keeping the tank full, and a small portion of the time is used for pumping. Two Suits in Quo Warranto Filed in Court.

A COAL mil SUES FOR DAMAGES. The Oklahoma War Over, the Railroad Agreeing to Depots at Kotimi l'ond and BbM Am Express Company Robbed. Topkka. July 27. Two suits in quo warranto were tiled in the Shawnee county district court yesterday by County Attorney Saffonl for writs of ouster against Henry C.

The territorial administration has dropped the railroad and turned squarely to the cause of the people.

Ohpyance of the ordinance of Enid and Round Pond and erecting of depots was demanded of the railroad and the road had agreed to do so if the people would cease their obstructions, so the trouble can practically be said to be at an end. hobised the united states expkess.

The city can make a contract, at a fair figure, to furnish water for the Santa Fe railroad engines, but the capacity of the pump is not enough. This can be remedied, and the chief engineer, Mr. G. W. Pearson, together with the council, have already made estimates for a reservoir on the ground 57 by 77 feet in size at the top and 35 by 55 feet at the bottom, and 15 feet deep.

It will hold 385,000 gallons and supply a city of 25,000 people. This reservoir can be filled direct from the well, making this distance of the direct lift 225 feet instead of 325 feet, and the pumping can be constant. A second pump is to be secured for filling the tank, direct from the reservoir, with three times the capacity of the one now down in the well. This reservoir, pump and fixtures will cost 2,000, and the water supply will be such that contract can be safely made with the railroads, and the cost of running the system not increased materially. In short the city of Girard has the best and cheapest water system of any town in the state, the largest supply, and inside of four years it will be paid for and a handsome revenue coming into the city treasury annually from water rentals.
