who were arrebted a week aso in St. Louis,
nnd one against Stpvcns. All deny knowing
unything about the bank robbery, but the

it to one uuotlier, but its victims are on

aro unmistakable and cannot be con

at their time of life be in full possession
of the superb attributes of manhood.
It is sad to see men fall in power, as so
many do, at just tho time when they

life and to enjoy them.
You are older now and can look back
and see the mistakes you have made

WEBSTER WILL VOTE
ON WATERJUESTION,
Special Election Called for March
10 to Consider Offer of
Company.
A cpeclal election has been called that
Webster Groves cltlzenu may vote on a
proposition submitted by the Missouri
Water, Light and Traction Company to
furnish water to the people of that town.
A proposition similar to the one proposed
has been adopted at a special election In
Kirkwood. but. according to C A. Robinson
of Webster Groves, it la not binding upon
the water company" unless the same propo
sition is earned in Webster Groves.
According to Mr. Robinson, if the two
contracts are approved, it might bring about
a new problem for St. Louis if the city ever
deslre3 to extend its boundaries westward.
"Should the Webster proposition carrj on
the 10th of March, and the Kirkwood pro")
ositlon thereby be confirmed. It would re
BUlt in private control of the waterworks
system Immediately adjoining th St, Louis
city limit on the west," says Mr. Robin
son. "Should the city at any time desire
to extend its limits, it would necessarllv
I have to recognize the rights of the water
companies supplying Webster and Kirk
wood. "A bill has been unanimously passed by
tho Board of Publlo Improvements to sup
ply Webster, and possibly Kirkwood, from
the city waterworks. The bill was passed,
but was Introduced into the Council, and
referred to a committeee, where it will
possibly rest for a long time,
"As a business proposition It would seem
that the city of St. Louis could hardly af
ford to allow a foreign water company to
I gain a foothold in the only direction in
i which the city limits can be extended. Un
1 less the Council takes some action in the
matter before the 10th of March. It is more
man likely that the bill introduced by the
Missouri Water, Light and Traction Com
pany will be passed by the citizens of Web
ster Groves, as water is a crying necessity
In both Webster and Kirkwood. After the
drought of last summer It Is hardly likely
that any company offering a supply of
wuter would be turned down.
"From tho present outlook one might
imagine that the Missouri Water Light
and Traction Company was more than like
ly to obtain a very valuable franchise for
practically nothing, and which the city of
St. Louis- will sooner or later have to ac
quire, and no doubt pay a tremendous price
for It. The natural supply of water for
Webster and Kirkwood U the same as thu
western part of the city of St. Louli. The
city limits of Webster Groves are only
three-quarters of a mile west of the city
limits of St. Louis.
"The Water Commissioner states that
these villages can be supplied with all the
water they need without any additional
facilities, from the city of St. Louis. The
city will be at no expense whatever in this
matter, and the water supply to points out
side tho city would be paid for at a rate
that would not only reimburse the city of
St. Louis for Its expense for tho cost of
supplying the wattr. but leave It a prollt
besides."
