TIE Secretary of the Water Works
US yesterday morning that the
cause Of the impure condition Of the
water in the reservoir at present is on

IN testing the large engine at the power

We hope it may be better soon.

ABOUT three o'clock yesterday after
noon. u fellow from Benwood not having
the tear OF God in his heart, got on his
muscle and concluded to go on the war
path. So he armed himself with four or
five large boulders and two or three
bricks and after looking around for some
time, planted his battery in front Of
Lawrence Glynn's saloon on 32nd street,
and Immediately opened fire on said
saloon, each shot taking effect until both
the large windows were completely caved

that, ale who fights and runs away
may live to fight another day." so he at
once beat a hasty retreat, up Thirty
second street to Belmont, where he
turned the corner and then 'tarted on a
Il double quick march up Bel
mont street until he arrived
at the banking house of Hoge,
Sheets j. Co, and there he slid in be-
tween that building and the furniture
store of Arbenz & Hoffman, but by this
time Marshal Drugan, who is always on

being closely pursued, took refuge under

In corresponding position on the
southeast front of the hill, Bradley Smith,

WHILE looking through the mill of the
Messrs. Smith, the other day, we discov-
cred in use an invention that renders the
tedious and difficult operation Of
dressing the mill stones only an
agreeable pastime. A diamond point set
in such manner AS to be moved back
and forth on frame, constitutes the
diamond dressing machine. 1t does its
work on the burrs beautifully, making
just the right kind of a surface to grind
good -four. To appreciate the machine,
one must see it work. Every miller
should have one one. Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings Of this week, the
ladies of the Methodist church of Kirk
