It is a problem which they are most anxious to solve, and one which the health of the city demands should be solved as quickly as possible. The water level in the lake lowering every day, and there has not been enough rain in the past -three weeks to raise it even half an inch. The lake Is rapidly becoming stagnant, there being no flow through it aB there is when a suiily of fresh water is obtainable, and it is Only a matter of time until it begins to be offensive.

School!) Inadequate. Harrison township residents are op in arms because of the fact that the township Is not abte to Bupport enough schools to allow all of their children school privileges. A delegation of the residents of that township were before the county commissioners Monday asking to have some action taken, as a nnmmer of their children lived over two milea from a school. According to thq state law, the Board of Education must furnish them relief of some kind or be subject to a One. It is thought that a joint meeting with the Board and the committee will be held.

It looks as If the township can do nothing else but Issue bonds. Wbtat Tnfirmary Torm ng up very well, in some sections it was washed out by the high waters, and that part of it had to be planted In corn. In some other sections tha heads were affected by blight, and in one place that has been reported the heads a few, days before they were ripe were swept over by an enormous hand which left the straw intact, but bent even the straw just below the head leaving the head intact but wilted and shriveled. A fair average crop will be harvested however, and the grata will-' bring a good price. a Pipe Line From Up the Miles and Even Then Might Thing Left is To Pump ble In order to get sufficient fall to force the water into the lake It would be necessary to carry the line some ten miles up the river, and even then it is probable that a dam would be needed.

jThe pipe ould not be brought down along the high bank of the river, because every flood would wash it out, and the alternative is to carry it through the high ground on the west side of the stream, which would entail an enormous expense, while jhe final success, even then, would be 'problematic. A pumping station to supply water has been suggested, and Engineer Redd thinks this plan feasible. Evaporation levels have been taken and computations are being made to determine how much water is lost every day, and how strong a pump would be needed to keep a full head of water in the lake. Some people seem to equal amount of water poured into the lake would achieve the same re- HUBBY GOT HIS GUN THEN THE PARTY BROKE UP The police department received a call from Mosher avenue on Monday afternoon' from an irate husband who on returning home at an unexpected hour was surprized to find his wife and another female companion having a delightful time with two young nien, the conversation being enlivened by copious diaughts of the amber fluid, bottles of which were in evidence all about the room. The husband ordered the destroyers of his household happiness to leave at once, but not so with the wife and her friends who braced by the 'strengthening qualities of the "Lager" told them to make, themselves perfectly at borne.

The htsband could brook these insults no longer and attempted to make good his demand with a double barreled shot gun. The weapon had the desired effect and the young men got out by means of a front window leaving behind a coat, a vest and a panama hat. In the meantime an officer of the law arrived, but as there was really no cause for an arrest this domestic explosion simmered off into the' smoke of a famllv quarrel and as this was to much for the officer he took the articles of clothing and started off in search of further adventure. In the coat was found a letter which leads to one of the men's identity, but as he is an out-of-town man it Is best to end the story now. Louis Jenkins and John Pauley, arrested Monday on investigation were released this morning.

Mr. F. P. Garrett, of this city, representing the local organization of the American Insurance Union, is attending at Columbus a state conference with the high officials of that organization. At this meeting the question of financial management of the A.

I. U. will be considered with the State Insurance Department. Unless certain 'adtcal changes be madefy this organization, the State Insurance officers will consider the revocation of the charter of the A. I.

U. in Ohio. The trouble has growi out of the use of its funds iu the erection of a' temple Columbus, The situation locally has reached that point where the assessments have not been paid and will not be paid if those who are members are to be believed, until some order Is evolved out of the present chaos and the Insurance members learn where they are going to come out. The Ohio Sun, in commenting on the matter this morning, says: "The dissension that for some time has existed in the membership of the A. I.

U. will come to a crisis Tuesday evening, when the national chapter of the body, the annual convention of which will open Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, will consider the appeal of Charles W. Lentz, brother of the national president, John J. Lentz, and a national trustee, who last February was expelled from the Columbus chapter for alleged breach of loyalty to the Union, and who on Monday was, refused admittance to the meeting of the trustees of the national chapter. "In connection with the case of Mr.

Lentz, there will also be considered the cases of Charles W. Reeves, Columbus, expelled at the same time as Mr. Lentz; W. J. Phillips of Cleveland, and W.

E. Lloyd, of Zanesvllle, against whom charges have been made of disloyalty similar to that of Mr. Lentz. "The alleged disloyalty of the men in question consisted in their issuing, last January, a circular, in which they denounced the existing management of the order, charging that excessive salaries were paid, and that officers were otherwise guilty of graft and gross mismanagement of affairs. "This break in the union has resulted In the springing up of a new faction, called the reform party, headed by the men already referred to.

They Intend maRrm--fight for an entire change In the management of the union. They expect to win. "Monday evening Mr. Lentz said: 'We are In the fight to win. We want an entirely new executive board, composed of honest men, and we believe that the majority of the delegates will be with us.

The present officers have been drawing salaries amounting to about $14,000 yearly, and not one of them, with the exception of the secretary, has been devoting- all his time to the work of the union. "The others, for the most part, have been drowlng fat salaries, and have had little to do. flits Is what we printed In our circular, and for issuing such Information we were denounced as being disloyal to the union. That we were right Is confirm ed by the contemplated action, as we understand, of cutting down the salaries and of doing away with ome of the offices. The attitude of Insur ance Commissioner Vorys- namely, his expecting the national chapter to bring about radical reforms further lieum nut the Htiltude thiit wp have taken for "The officers now in power ate dls-' posed to taKe notice of the reform i party.

"The national president, John J. Lentz, when asked Monday what settlement there would be made of the difficulty, said: "There Is no difficulty Some disgruntled members are talking about doing certain things', but they are not of sufficient lmor-tance to be considered. They are making a noise and that Is all. They have said that' the union has been mismanaged. Th reports will show that the union la the last six months has mad 10,000.

That scarcely shaws mismanagement.

The conductor reported to the company that the car on which he was, was coming down Church street in the afternoon, and just before he reached Water street he called the street. The child did not move until the car was rounding the corner of the street intersection, when she got up and walked to the rear platform. The conductor asked her if she wanted to get off at High street.

She grinned and he rang the bell for the High street stop. Just as he turned around; to go into' the car he noticed the child drop off the car, which was going at a fairly good rate of speed. The momentum threw her to the ground! The conductor stopped the car and went back and picked her up. She was not seriously injured, and refused to give her name to the conductor; A young girl' who was with her went on to High street and got off at the stop there.
