The Gas Works.

Mr.. Gray of the firm of Watts, Gray &
Bowman left the city on Sunday evening
on business trip to Milwaukee and Chi
cago. He is expected here tomorrow
morning to look after the subscription list
of the new gas company. Mr.. Bowman is
in St Louis.
We are informed by Alderman Lundy
that he has assurances from the members
of the firm that n fulfllment Of the con-
tract entered into by Messrs, Watts, Gray
& Bowman with Mr.. Harper does not
depend upon majority Of the stock being
subscribed for in this city; that they are
not adventures but are responsiblgmen
who are able to live up t. the letter OF the
contract they have made, and, without the
assistance Of our citizens, although they
would be pleased to have sufficient stock
taken here to insure the organization Of a
local board of responsible men to manage
the affairs Of the company believing that
that would be, to certain extent, likely
to insure a more liberal patronage by our
people.

Dead Body Tonnd.

We learn from Mr.. Wm. S. Thomas, of
Carbon Cliff, that while a gang Of
section hands on the G. R. l. & p. r. r.
near Green River Station were sitting on
a pile Of ties, eating their dinner, yester-
day, they discovered the dead body Of
man under the ties. Two bullet holes
were found in the head-one back Of the
ear and one under the chin, and two
in the body near the hips. Nothing
whatever was found in the pockets of his
clothes or on his body indicating who it
was. Decomposition had commenced.
The clothes were good. On bis feet we're
gators. Age probably about 50 years.
These are ali the particulars we can learn
to day,
Is this another mysterious murder?
Our readers may remember a similar
case near the same place about two years
ago, described at the time, in this paper,
the body being run over by a train, but
physicians said he had been dead some
time before the train passed.

All that is Necessary.

The Democrats can carry the election
next November if they nominate a rotor
mer in whom the people believe, on a
hard money platform.
The whole number of electoral votes is
500. A majority of them is 1874, In
the southern states there is an intense
desire to be delivered from the corrupt,
semi military rule imposed upon them by
Grantism, and they will support any re
spectacle Democrat. All the southern
states except South Carolina were Demo
cratic at the last election, and many of
them have been so for several years past
These states cast 13l electoral votes, only
SO short of majority of the whole num-
Der,
Where can a reform Democrat, on a
hard money platform, get the additiona!
SO votes that will be required to elect
him? New York, New Jersey, Connect
cut, and California, taken together, give
SO, three more than are needed.
There are also dozen other northern
and western states where the Democrats
stand just as good chance as the Re
publicans; but the four we have mention
ed are enough, The sure policy of the
Democracy is to nominate at St. Louis, as
their candidate, some statesman wnom
people know to be both reformer and {

If all the refuse and wasteage from city

utilized somehow for fertilIzing purposes
what a reservoir of wealth would be OBJ
tanned. The problem is likely to be solved
in practical way by what is called the
Dry Earth System by which dry earth,
peat. or coal ashes is made to absorb and
neutralize everything offensive in the ex-
crement and refuse of the household.

The Late Rain and Cola snap-C Crop
Prospects.

From Friday. of last week, to Tuesday
morning this region was visited by a cold
rain which has caused much anxiety in
regard to the growing crops. On Friday
afternoon, among the farmers who called
at our Office, were Lewis Wilson, of Rural,
and j. 7. Day, of Port Byron. Their
account Of matters on the farms il not
encouraging for small grain especially
wheat.
They agree. that wheat, before this rain,
seemed to be bleaching or drying out, and
lacking in sustenance at the roots; and
that since the rain it seems to be covered
with rust. The opinion seems to be pref
ty general that the wheat crop in this
county, if not a failure will be very light.
Barley is affected somewhat like the
wheat, though not to tat extent.
Rye is good, though very little is raised
Oats are excellent.
Corn very backward, ground very wet
and weeds and grass choking it and putting
it back badly.
Potatoes were planted late and it is toe
soon to give any opinion.
Grass never better. The prospect fol
hay and pasturage is excellent.
Fruit promises well,
