The work of boring for natural gas wss
begun out near the gas works yesterday
morning. A large crowd OF men and boys
attracted by the novelty of the process
were IoafBg around the place all day. Inc
contractors. Messrs. burst & RayIe, were
both here and ere experimenting the work

be able to put the we'll down without the

The Lily base ball club will give a grand
ball in City Hail this evening, and all their
friends and lovers Of the national game and
those interested in having a good club
mere, should attend and help the boys
dong. The proceeds are to go toward pur-
chasing uniforms and other necessaries for
the club. Fosters full band has been en-
Gagged to furnish the music, and a hrst class
ume is assured ali those who attend.
Since base ball has become the mania
here il would be q good idea TO put a fence
around the grounds and charge a small ed
mission fee to those desiring to see the
game. This could be done without great
cost, and il the grounds were put in first
class condition there would be no trouble in
having some of the League games played
here. II some enterprislng citizen would
take hold of the matter be can make mon
ey out of it. Lease the grounds, put in q
half.mile race course and 0 good ball ground
and do things up in style.

pairing the floor in Sonneborn's clothing
