Hackney of Wellington was few weeks, but will try and do better spends less money and looks better than his neighbor who has the longer purse. That's judgment in buying, getting everything tasteful and harmonious. A Dash of Fashion mm ess A special dispatch sent out from Coffey ville yesterday says: The city treasurer's report tomorrow will show that Coffeyville's system of waterworks owned by the city, has cleared $1,075.59 from January 1 to April 1. The receipts of the system were about $2,100, and the expenses about $1,000. During these three months a telephone line has been built to the pump station and many other improvements made which will not have to be made again for years.

The plant was built by the city in 1895, and is now getting on a paying basis. The superintendent is paid $50 per month and two engineers are paid $55 and $30 each. The domestic rate system is mostly used, there being only a few meters on the system. The price ranges from 2 to 20 cents per 1,000 gallons, according to the amount used. If Wellington does as well as Coffey-ville with her city ownership plant, we will certainly have no cause to regret having voted $50,000 bonds to buy the plant.

At this rate the plant here will be paid for in twelve years and the city will be getting its water service for nothing in the meanwhile, not to mention the reduction in private rentals. combined Common Sense, Style and Durability make these garments popular.
