Shortly after 10 o'clock an extra train, consisting of five coaches, bearing about three hundred invited guests of the National Water Works left the Union Depot for the reservoir at Quindaro. The train stopped at the Wyandotte station where quite a number of citizens got aboard. After reaching the works at Quindaro some time was spent by the visitors in inspecting the mammoth engines and pumps and the extensive reservoir, consisting of five appartments and covering eight acres of ground. The company was then called together, and Col. Charles E.

Kearney was chosen chairman for the occasion. He explained that the guests would partake of refreshments, which had been prepared for them, after which the exercises of the day would be carried out. This part of the programme i. partaking of the refreshments, was then carried out in a manner characteristic of 'such occasions. At the close of the banquet the company was called to order by the chairman.

Col. Kearney and Major B. F. Jones, superintendent of the Water Works Company, wa? introduced. He gave the history of the Water Works Company in Kansas City, speaking of the opposition which had been met and the prejudice which had to be overcome and the unjustifiable attacks which had been mads on the company and finally how in accordance with the demands of public sentiment they began to devise means to supply the city with Missouri river water.

He related how of the two plans of procuring water, to take it from the Clay county side of the river, tunnelling under the same, or to take it from the west side of the state line, the latter was chosen, and the plant and franchise of the Wyandotte and Armourdale Water Works Company were purchased as the first great step in accomplishing the desired result. He stated that he and the engineer, Mr. Pierson, had selected the site for the reser voir and pumping station, and from that time to the present it has increased in value $50,000. He paid a high tribute to the efficiency and sobriety of the engineers Jos. Chapman, Luther Chapman and W.

p. Hamilton, who would have charge of the works at Turkey Creek, Kaw Point and Quindaro, respectively. His remarks were full of happy hits and he closed amid rousing cheers. Mr. Pearson, the chief engineer, was then introduced and in a very happy manner related the engineering difficulties which had been encountered and overcome and gave a brief explanation of the practical workings of the system and the amonnt of material used in the construction of the immense works.

He paid a handsome compliment to. Frank Martin, who had superintended the building of the works at Kaw Point. Mr. R. T.

Vanhorn was then called and among other happy allusions spoke of the time when the spot where they nowstood. old!

He looked as though he had set his eyes on a particular spot he wanted to get to, and that was the spot and no other and he was able to get there and take his wide out wife with him too, even if the tips of her fingers did but touch his arm while her face showed a reluctance her tongue would gladly give utterance to if she could have done so and kept her breath going at the same time, while being pulled along at so rapid a rate by her liege lord. The pleasant scenes oft repeated of sv eet infancy sleeping securely in parental arms, oblivious of the jostling crowd, or possible danger, reminding the older ones of the Heavenly Father's care constantly over and around all both the just and unjust." But the sight of the drunken men chased away the laughter or thoughts sweet and restful. Old men and young men, well dressed men and the poorly dressed if they were drunk they stood upon the same plane, and that an unenviable one.

There were many, some showing evidence of refinement and intelligence. Several were being guided by a faithful woman, to the shelter of the home, while others were taken care of by policemen. In the part of the throng visible to this witness the police were fine looking gen-tlemenly men, and did not show the slightest sign of being other than perfectly sober. Almost wonderful in a city in whose trade's procession two breweries were represented by a "float containing jolly beer drinkers in a brewery," were the words in the one line the daily allotted to the description of them. It was hardly fair to stop and only represent one side of this jolly beer drinking when the other is so widely different.

A second float ought to have followed with the- drinkers' ragged, dirty, hungry, ead faced families, and the drinkers behind prison bars, what they will be sooner or later, imbeciles or fiends. It is a signifi cant fact, that, as the drunkard manufac tories, otherwise'called breweries, passed, not a sound greeted them from the im mense Surely the temperance leaven is working even in alcoholic-steeped Missouri. Lager, whichmeans "lying," beer making (was ever an adjective more truthful?) will not long show itself among respectable occupations. It' Was a disappointment in the float representing Missouri legislature not to see a specimen of the Jewish abomination with a grave legislator bending over it racking his brain for a suitable expression of the importance of legislation against hog cholera as the most informant measure before hat learned and intelligent body." Voting, aye for the submission to the people of a prohibitory amendment for the protection of the children, whose souls are priceless, was nothing compared to it. M.H.G.
