The Village Water Works.

The Village Water Works.
The proposition of Mr.. Holly, made
through Attorney Burnap, for settle
ment with this village for royalty on
the Flanders pump, has not been made
public, but is said to be 1000. Ne
gotiations are pending, and it is not at
all probable that the village will ac-
cede to any such figures. Meanwhile a
thaw has come, giving an abundant
water supply, aud so there is not so
much said about the recommendations
made by special committee as there
was. There is, however, general OBJ
lection to stone dam on account of
great expense. But every candid man
admits three things as a necessity if the
village continues the use of the pump.
|. A water-tight dam. 2. A more
economical water wheel. 3. The
channel so dredged that the village can
have fair shake with the other water
takers. OF course there are other i'm
pOrtant things to be considered, but
when these are done, in the words of
the special committee: "The village
would then, and probably not till then,
be in condition to call upon the other
water owners to have their wheels and
fumes in such condition as to save the
water. We could then insist that 9TH
ers should not, by leaky fumes and
worthless wheels, waste the water that
we had saved"
The Low Price of Dogs--six for Dol
lar.
A month or two ago, Mr.. Daniel
Gage of North Danville, met a party of
boys on the avenue, one of whom was
leading large Newfoundland pup by a
string. The boy addressed Mr.. Gage,
and bantered him to buy the dog. On
being asked why he wanted to sell, he
replied that his mother would not let
him keep it. After some further ques-
tioning, Mr.. Gage purchased the dog
for his full value, as estimated by the
boyle cents-and took him home, II
never occurring to him that the dog was
stolen, and that the "innocent boy
was putting up job on him. Not very
long after this transaction it transpired
that Charley Horton had lost pup
and he had reason to think that his dog
and the one lately bought by Mr.. Gage
were one, and on Tuesday of last week
Sheriff Sulloway and Mr.. VIM. H. Hor
ton went up to Mr.. Cages and identi
fed the property and took it away. 81
Mr.. Gage is out of pocket IS cents, be
sides losing a pup which the children
had become very much attached to
He so described the boy of whom III
bought, that the sheriff and others a
once recognized a Weber boy, who ha
been caught before in thefts. Although
there is not the slightest blame attach
ed to Mr.. Gage in purchasing the PM
as he did, he will buy no more dog
without warrantee deed and pedi
gree.

He was knocked down and portion of the train passed over his right leg below the knee, crushing it in a fearful manner.

At a late hour last night Ryan was in comfortable condition and if nothing of serious nature intervenes he will recovor. He is an iron moulder by trade and about 40 years of age.
