The entertainm e n t under auspices o f the Guild o f the Transfiguration Saturday evening at S i,m o n d Opera House, was entitled to a larger attend ance, considering the q u a lity of the program.

The Opera House was again uncom- forta h ly cold, notw ithstanding that the atmospheie outside was fa ir ly warm. D u ring the ♦■xtreme cold weather last week a leak was discovered in the gas mains on South M a in Street, u short distance from the corner o f He- dell and Sm ith Streets. It was nearly three days before the break could he discovered owing to the frozen ground. The process o f repairing gas mains and doing away w ith the possibility of the workman being overcome is very in te r esting. W h ile the exact spot is being located a pipe several feet long is driven in the ground through which the gas is allowed to escapa or in fa c t burned, the free end being lighted. The workman then goes about HID feet from the place and taps the main. As soon as the tap is made a sm a ller rub ber bag is pushed through the tap and in the main away from the break and then inflated, cu ttin g off the gas sup ply. The same th ing is done on the opposite side of tha break and the break can then be re i aired w ithout any danger. Freeport Coal Co., successor to W. P. W.
