The matter of securing a fountain for Bay
llss park does not seem to be making much
Roadway just at present. The commission
ers have laid aside 5000 for that purpose and
the citizens will have to subscribe 81 800 if
the fountain is TO DC secured. The commits
sioners do not feel justified in appropriating
a larger amount as the new walks and other
work done there this season used up all the
money that ought to be expended on this one
spot. 1t is hoped that the citizens will take
mold of the matter and raise the necessary
amount, as the addition of the fountain
would be a great Improvement to the park.
Yesterday was a dull Sunday in police cir
Giles. The saloons were all closed, and the
peelers scarcely knew what to do with them
selves. The only capture made during the
day was two little tadsn who were lost.
They knew they lived in an alley somewhere,
but that was all. When found they were IN,
vestigating the alley in the rear Of Eiscman's
store, and crying as if their hearts would
break. They were returned to their nome in
the rear of Snyder's commission house.
Their mother had not missed them, as she
supposed they were out walking with their
father, and he thought they were at home.
