The manufacture of cider is becoming
quite common in this county. In the
southern towns almost every farm house
Is supplied with barrel or more of the
delicious drink. The demand has made
prohtaGiie the introduction of something
with greater capacity than the ordinary
cider press, and a factory run by steam
has been erected at Kiel which does a
large business. The apple crop this year
is unusually large and farmers are feed
ing their hogs with the fruit, as the price
paid makes it no object to bring them to
market,

WATERWORKS.

After writing what appears elsewhere
on the waterworks question, Mayor RAIN
has explained the proposition of the par
ties desiring to put in plant at this place
and has advanced reasons for favorable
consideration of the scheme.
The parties are eastern men. They
propose to put in the plant in consider
a.ion of the city's taking 100 hydrants at
an annual rental of $50 each. These
hydrants are TO be so distributed as to
be at the farthest only 500 feet from every
building within the city limits. A guar
antee is offered that each hydrant will
work 500 feet of hose and insure full pro-
lection to every building within that
range.
The main value is the protection against
fire. The present fire department costs
annually from s., 900 to 1000 per year.
With system of waterworks the expense
of the fire department could be reduced
three fourths, making the combined cost
of wa.erworks and fire department as
then constituted only $1,000 per year
more than the cost of the fire department
at present and thus securing first class
protection instead of very imperfect one.
A mass meeting will be held on Mon
day evening and the subject will then be
fully discussed so that whatever action
may be taken will be in harmony with
the wishes of the people. Should the
sentiment be favorable at the meeting
the question will be submitted to the
people at special election.

DEATH OF F. KOSTOMLATSKY.

Frank Kostomlatsky died at an early
| hour on the morning of Saturday last.
His health had not been good for a
number of months; but the thought that
his ailment would so soon take a fatal
| turn had not occurred to his friends. On
the day previous to his death he suffered
stroke of paralysis from which lie never
rallied.
Mr.. kostomlatsky was born in Neu-
dorf, Bohemia, in 1926, left his native
land for America in 1916 and settled in
this city in 1858. He was highly in
telllgent, educated gentleman. His in
tegrity and kindness commanded the
respect and esteem of all with whom he
came IN contact, and while of retiring,
unobtrusive disposition. he formed a
circle of friends limited only by the extent
of his acquaintance. He was public
spirited but not impulsive and his every
action was the result of thoughtful
deliberation and judgment which was an
index of his we'll balanced mind. In his
relations to his wife and children he was
all that husband and father could be.
His home was one of the happiest. 1t
was his kingdom, the object to which
his best efforts were directed and no
sacrifice was too great that tended to
make the members of his family circle
happier. 1t was but natural that his
family should regard him with an intense
affection and that his death, so unex-
pected, was blow from which they will
not soon recover.
The funeral ceremonies were held on
Monday and were conducted by the Odd
Fellows, he having long been cherished
member of that order.

EVERYWHERE throughout this county
farmers are giving attention to the i'm.
provement of their stock. Agricultural
papers are taken more than formerly and
drainage receives great deal of atten-
ton. What is most needed now is a
little thought to identifying the home
surroundings. A grass plot in front of
the house and few shade trees would
work gratifying change in the appear
ance of many houses.

tuesday of this week after protracted
illness. She was quite well advanced in
years. She came to Meme with her

devotedly attached to her children and
warm in her friendships. She was born

her marriage came to Milwaukee where
she lived for few years until she took
up her residence at Meme. Her funeral

An Old Darky's Striking Argument In n
Question of Natural History.
Down in the woods of the Chicka-
mauga battle fields rabbits skurry from
one brush-heap to another, and tho
squirrels chatter as they look down from
their perches at men wandering from
point to point in the openings. We
were skirting Snodgrass Hill when we
heard gun go of, followed by series
of yclls and whoops. Pushing into the
woods few rods we came upon an old
darky seated on log with one pant-lcg
rolled up. There were four or five tiny
streams of blood running down. and it
was plain enough that some scattering
sliothad struck him.
As we reached him a colored boy
about sixteen years old came out of the
brush with light shotgun in his hands,
and the old man looked up and said
Julius, look heah! You has dun
shot your faddcr in de legr'
"Why, pap, dun 'spoSed you was a

rabbit bout foot long an jist huff to
make soup for one Julius, lie gwine
to show you de difference between q
rabbit an your faddcr!"
He had been cutting green limb as
he talked, and when he finished he took
the boy by the collar and played the
"bud" to him until the young man
jumped two feet high and sung out like
a brass band. BY and by we gently in
terfered to prevent further punishment,

asked;

after Many Struggles 1t Has ut Last
Reached tho Pacific Coast.
There has lately been introduced in
several large retail houses on Kearney
street an innovation regarding the pay
ment of change which may lead to inn
portant results for the general public.
1t is no less than the payment of cents
when less than five-cent piece is due to
purchasers, and is simply an imitation
of the Eastern system. For many
years the ten-cent piece was the lowest
specimen of subsidiary CON that Cali
fornian would design to notice, After
the mining times tive-ccnt pieces were
introduced, but were exceedingly scarce
and little used Car fare in those days
was ten cents ride, and nothing Of
any consequence could be obtained for
o tive-cent coin. In 1876 the nicklo
piece was introduced in great quantities
in California At first its circulation
was quite limited, but gradually it ex-
tended its influence, and is now recog-
nized part of the system Of exchange in
trade But California has never de-
scended below the nickel, and has for
years repudiated the cent piece. In tho
East the cent piece has an extensive cir
culation, and has purchasing power
that would astonish native-born CALI
fornian, who has always regarded tho
five-cent piece as the lowest denomina-
ton of money in the financial system OF
the United States. p.
A reporter called upon the proprietor
of large dry-goods house which has in
troduccd the small coin, and asked him
some questions regarding the innoya-
ton, to which he replied;
ut is only question of time when
the eastern system of using cents in
trade will be followed on this coast.
The downward tendency of prices will
cause the introduction of one cent
pieces. Of course the injustice of a
buyer paying two and half cents more
than he owes is not recognized by the
seller for the reason that it is his advan-
tage, He will, therefore, object as long
as possible. But pennies are bound to
come, as the nickels came. The banks
were the first, after the Government
offices, to adopt and recognize cents, bo-
cause their business requires the utmost
exactitude in accounts. Several stores
have followed in the wake of the banks
i own one of them-and have adopt
I'd the Eastern system. l find the plan
works well, our customers are satisfied,
md therefs no trouble or confusion
srising from giving exact change, in
'tcad of retaining part as under the bit
ystem. San Francisco Chronicle.

AN ENRAGED BEAST.
Seventeen Men Killed and Much Propert
Destroyed by n Mad Elephant.

Seventeen Men Killed and Much Property
Destroyed by Mad Elephant.
A terrible elephant story comes from
India. One morning, while an elephant
was being ridden by its keeper in the
district of Sultanpore, in Onde, the ami
NAL resented prodding with a spear by
pulling the man from his back and
throwing him some distance awny. For
tunately the man fell in hollow. and
remained thore undiscovered by the ele-
phant, which went to aneighboring vii
lage.
There he chased an old man into tho
house, then broke down the walls,
pulled the man out and dashed him to
pieces. The same night the elephant
knocked down several houses in quest of
human beings IN the villages of Sadar-
pur, Bargaon and Jasingpur. He killed
six men in Bersoma, three in Sofa, four
in Gangeo, and four in Mardad. He
likewise killed bullock and pony. and
also completely destroyed a new car
riage. The animal used to stand at the
door of house, force his entrance by
demolishing the walls on either side,
and would then kill as many of the in
mates as he could, pursuing others who
tried to run away. He mangled the
corpses terribly.
After securing a victim he sometimes
returned to the spot to see if life was ex-
tinct, and would commence mutilating
the body afresh. He carried several
bodies long distances and threw them
into ravincs, etc, The elephant found
his way to Dehra Rajah's place, where
he tried to enter the house of a garden
er, but some men mounted on three
elephants, assisted by spearmen, drove
him of. He then returned to Bcbipur,
in which several persons had taken re-
fugc. The police got into the house
from back window, and were obliged
to send for help to the Dohra Rajah,
who sent three elephants and some
spearmen. The animal received two
gunshots on the head at Bcbipur which,
however, only temporarily drove him
of. He was ultimately captured at i'm
minent risk by the Rajah's three Gle.
plants and men.-St. Jasaes' Gazette.
