mmissioners' Proceedings.

In the matter OF the application OF John
Hemphill Tor the cleaning out OF the Rankin
ditch, between Clark and Greene counties, the
commissioners Of the counties named. at the
joint session here yesterday afternoon. decided
to employ Jos. Kizer, as engineer, to file re-
port upon the cost of said work and assess-
mens on property holders interested. An
engineer for the portion lying in each county
has made survey and report, but the two
do not agree and it il found better to have
the work done by one, to report at future
joint meeting.
At the separate meeting of the Clark
county board a rental OF one dollar Der year

Hurt By a Fall.

Mr.. Louis Valiquette. veteran empIoye OF
the Engine and Thresher Co., on Warder
street, was seriously injured this forenoon.
He was standing upon ladder in the wood
shop, where he works, attempting to run
large belt on to apulley. For some reason,
just what is not known, but probably from
the jerking OF the belt, he was thrown from
the ladder to the floor, sria ing the table of
circular saw and cutting cash under one
eye, that may prove a serious wound. One
arm was also considerably bruised. The pa
troll wegon was called and Mr.. yaliquette
taken to mis- home at North and Fishe. streets
where he is in care OF DR.. J. II. Rodgers. II
is but a few days since he WAS struck and
painfully bruised by block OF wood flying
from a circular saw. He has been at these

dren Miss Redick, who introduced the Kin
dergarten system to the State institution for
the blind, is at Miss Fo1's kindergarten on
Mechanic street, west side, two doors outh of
Jefferson, where she will remain this week.
She invites those interested in the early ed.
ucation Of children to visit the school every
morning from nine until twelve. 1t is per-
iectly fascinating to watch those litrle lots
OF children doing gums in arithmetic by
means OF sticks and rings; learning to spell

strating theorems in geometry by means Of H.
tie sticks, made familiar withsphere, cube aud

and best OF all receiving moral II d religious
learning as easily Ms the earth receives The
dew, and AS unconciously as the breath OF

dergarten Guide, published by ~ Krnus
beolte and j. kraus, which should be in all
families. These books suggest wonderful
things to the loving mother, and if she once
sees how the kindergarten work is carried on.
she can amuse her children for hours with
AS simple things as toolhpicks and little
rings. la my own family no picturt book
has ever given half so much enjoyment to the
children AS the Guide to Eaglish Kindergsr-
ten, by Rouge. 1t is book they always
ask eagerly for. No expensive toys have
ever given the pleasure that they find 10
copying the forms in it, with toothpicks and
soaked peas. Indeed consider this Kinder
garten instruction OF so much value, morally
as well rs educational, that would willinply
make many sacrifices that my children should
have the benefit OF this early training.

through without breaking any bones. He
calmly sat down and removed his shoe, then
rowed to shore and hobbled to the railroad
near by, boarding the c. c. c. & |. noon

ately repaired to D.. Russells office when

No Natural Gas just at Prsssnt-A Well

The natural gas well spoken of yesterday
will not afford public illumination within

again when preparations will be made to sink

summer whllt erecting the Plum street sewer.

1t looks very much as though ". c. Con-
ner, the Springfield boy who won first prize
at the recent meet in the two-mle novice
race and second prize in the fye-mile race,
was going to develop into one of the swiftest
bicyclers in the country. Yesterday alter
noon, accompanied by few friends, he went
out to the track aud made FIVE miles in ls
minutes, on the same ordinary road machine
which he rode at the races last week. This
is the best FIVE miles that has ever been made
in the State, and if he had a racer there is
little doubt that he could bring it down to 8
minutes, the best time on record.

To the Editor Of the Gobe-Repubic
In a lengthy article in the GLOBE REpURLrc
Of yesterday, in which the Rev. W. H. War
ren, pastor of the Congregational church in
this city, labors to justify himself in saying
"yssttngiy,' that ne would sooner " vote for
the devil than for the " leading candidate &"
on the Prohibition ticket (every IL an has a
right to his choice,) | find the following
item:
when the personal claims of the present
champion Of the party in Ohio were press, d
and his success above all Others as chris ian
minister in our city ASS rrted, his ardent ad-
mirer was reminded Of an article from the
pen of his cham pion to the Advocate, after he
had been in Springfield but a few months.
1t is not needful 10 repeat here what promi-
nent men in his own denomination think o.
1t. II that letter could be reprinted in our
local papers today our citizens could Judge tor
themselves OF the candor and fairness of its
author towards those who differ from him in
religious matters. II the case be such here.
how much less claim has he upon the support
OF those who differ from him in political al
fairs?"
Now, as have never written anything or
the Western Christian Advocate tina, would
net be willing to see published anywhere,
respectfully request Mr.. Warren to secure tn .
article to which he refers for publication in
the GLoBE-REPUBLIc. Not having preserved
file of the Advocate, | can not furnish the
article with this communication. Mr.. War.
rem can procure it by addressing the editors
OF the paper named; and now that he has re-
ferred to the article in way to make the
Impression that there is something untruth-
iuI in it, it is to be hoped he will give to the
man who-speaking 'jestingly"-he re-
CARDS as having less claim to his vote than
"the devil' the privilege Of being heard.

PUBLIC RENEFsCTORs.
The New owners Of the Old Frey Property
mt the Foot of Factory street Give the
City the Right of Way For n Bridge.

For years the Wittenberg and Ferncliff
Avenue people, warmly aided by Council,
have been attempting to get bridge across
Buck creek at the foot OF Factory street.
Last summer resolution was passed in
Council looking toward the erection of the
bridge, but they were hindered from any
further action by an injunction brought by /.
Ward Frey, owner OF the barren waste along
the creek at that place. Some time ago this
property was purchased by c. @. Funk, D. F.
Minahan, W. II. Pretzman and Albert
Mclntire, whose brains were filled with the
project OF boring for natural gas. As these
gentleman are very patriotic In their way they
have determined to withdraw the Injunction
suit, and donate the right OF way across their
property to the city, and will make PROPOSE
tion to this effect in Council tonight. This
opens the way for au improvement that has
been long needed and will doubtless be put
through at one.

To the Editor Of the Globe Republic.
The masses OF our business people were as
tonished at the proposition to locate the Gov
ernment building on the Jail lot hill, and are
curious to know who suggested the commit
tee, composed OF persons whose interest and
residences are In one part of the city (three
of them residing in one ward.) Are persons
to remain in ambush, or by stealth control
the bounty of the Government to destroy the
benefit intended for the convenience OF the
public? The people should insist that those
who have imposed upon the Secretary of the
Treasury in the discharge of public duty
should be known. The committee are
known, and no fair-minded man would
claim some OF them are considerate enough
to discharge such trust
The people complain because they expect
to have business with the Office. 1t is on a
steep hill, difficult Of access, dangerous to
ascend and descend where there is no bus-
ness; wh,re people east and west 90 not go
the street railroads are made away from it; it
was abandoned as Jail and courthouse lot
be ause il was not a suitable location. No
business man has ever tried to establish busi-
ness near it. The business of the city has been
travelling away from this location for fifty
years. The Main Hotel was abandoned and
the postotfice, by common consent, was
moved west over forty years ago. II the
ground was donated aud the building was
erected gratuitously, it would pay the citizens
to erect postothce in the center by priva,e
donation and use it, rather than submit TO the
inconvenience proposed.
II is great outrage that the Secretary OF
the Treasury, desirous to honestly discharge
his duty, should at the outset be imposed
upon.
II the jail lot was business part OF the
city, why has not some enterprising busin,s,
man tried to establish business Why has the
property remained idle 80 long?
