The first test attempted at three o'clock was practically a failure caused by | the man at the stand pipe thinking | the test was over and opening the the into the stand pipe, and further the engineer | at the little timid in putting on sufficient pressure. How-} valve turning water river was a ever these defects were soon rectiti- ed and a final test was made at about | 4 o'clock, when the four streams were thrown over oue hundred feet high and estimated by some to reach over one hundred and twenty-five feet high. At the council meeting at night Capt. Tygard, president of the com pauy briefly, reviewed the work ac- complished; recited the many obsta- cles they had to overcome and _stat- ed that the plant as constructed had cost them $20,000 more than was originally contemplated. Short talks were made by Superintendent of Construction Ingalls and Eugi neer Weir. Both these geutlemen made the assertion that these are the best water-works west of the Missis- sippi river, outside the large cities. After a full and fair discussion of all the important features connected with the works and an opinion from City Attorney W. W. Graves that all the legal features of the ordinance had been complied with, a resolution accepting the works wasadopted by avote of seven to one, Alderman Pierce voting no. By requst of Al derman Graves the company con- eeded to the city 255 feet of mains of unnecessary street crossings. The Trivers gave a detailed descrip- tion of the works two weeks ago and it ix unnecessary to recount the same now, sufficient to say the people of Butler are well pleased with their water-works, and the company is to be congratulated for not only comply- ing with the terms of the ordinance but far exceeding their legal obliga- tions in the matter. The city council is to be congrat- ulated and commended for the strict surveillance they have kept over the city’s interest in this matter, and Mayor J. L. Pace deserves the thanks of every citizen of Butler for his untiring and zealous efforts in the city’s interest. He bas devoted his whole time for months in seeing that every detail of the franchise was strictly complied with and nota particle of work has been done with- out his surveillance, and he was not slow or backward in calling the com- pany’s attention to any work care lessly or negligently done. | Gen. Alger, the Michigan million aire, insists that he is in the ring for the republican nomination for presi- dent. Since Germany has opened the ports to the American hog the big | porking institutions of this country have formed a pool and trust. | McKinley and company are dodg- | ing the tariff and trying to make the fight in Ohio onthe silver issue. But | the democrats propose to hold them to the tariff. | Col. Webster Flanagan has been appointed collector of custems at El Paso, Tex. The colonel ran for governor of Texas last year on the republican ticket, and like Warner Miller, of New York, in 1888, he; “fell outside of the breastworks.” | Not only that but we are sorry to say the breastworks fell on top of} him to the beastly extent of about 200,000 majority. —Globe-Democrat.

Board of Railroad Commis- sione It seems a very incomprehensible thing and yet on the surface,it loeks as if the farmers were, in ope respect at least in league with the railroads One of the resolutions adopted at Pertle Springs was for the abolition of the board of railroad commission- ers. What the instigators of this move could mean by it is impossible for divine. Do they not know that every state that had no rail- road supervision has been compell- ed to provide for the appointment or election of a sioners in order to protect the peo- ple from the exactions of the rail jroadst Do they not know that if beard of commis- be impossible for any eitizen to ob- tain redress for 2 wrong except at the end of a law suit against a cor- poration with the best legal talent in the country? Is it the taxes nec- essary to pay the expenses of the commission that they object to? Do they not know that the expenses of nitude would more than pay the ex penses of the commission? Truly, the instigators of that res olution cannot know the facts in the case or they would never have | moved it study up what the functi commission are, and what its work has been before they seck to banish the bulwark that stands between them and any amount of discrimina tion.—Journal of Agriculture.

[A Resolution to Abolish the |The Billion Doltar Congress Record Coming to Light. Washington. D. C. Sept. 4.—It is semi officially reported that the treas ury department, evidently with the view of feeling the public pulse to see if the people will stand it, that | Secretary Foster does not intend to pay certain appropriations made by | the last congress, upon the plea that as the appropriation act contained the words, “To be paid out of any moneys in the treasury not otherwise | appropriated,” and as there “money in the treasury not is no other- wise appropriated, he has no money wherewith to pay. The report bas occasioned consid- erable consternation among parties directly or indirectly interested in various appropriations made by the last congress, the settlement of which has been delayed beyond al! prece- dent simply hecause Secretary Fus- ter had hoped that he would be sue | cessful in extending all the outstand ing 44 per cent bonds at 2 per cent and thus keeping a good balance of funds in the treasury. The opinion is generally express ed that if Seeretary intends to pur sue this course the issue will be ac- cepted by the democrats, since such action will be nothing less than con ‘fessing the charges of recklessness and extravagance preferred by the | democracy against the billion dollar cop gres: { “The Great Benefit. | Which people inrun down state of | health derive from Hood's Sarsapa- ivilla, conclusively proves that the |medicme ‘makes the weak strong.” | (Tt oes not act ke a stimulant, im- | |parting fictitious strength, but | Hocd’s Sarsapariila builds up in a! | perfectly natural way all the weak- eved parts, purifies the blood, and! — Shake, Comrade, Shake.
