Turpie held thst neither the demo-
Gratis nor the republicans were elected

vacancy should be declared. A re.
port 10 favor Of seating Sanders and
Power will be made and signed by
all the republican members Of the
committee, while the democrats will

particularly the evening service, at
which the seating capacity Of the
church was found to be inadequate
and a number Of chairs were brought
In use. in addition to which many
stood up during the whole service.
The bishop preached two eloquent and
powerful sermons, and in the evening
said few words In regard to the con-
dit,on OF he Miles City mission pres

qualification at finding the fiuantial
condition OF the parish 20 healthy, and
said that II was his desire TO raise
within the next few weeks enough
money to furnish the church interior,
to which object ne would himself do
nate the sum Of fifty dollars. There is
no reason to doubt that the sum neces.

the post the mains Were reduced tn
four inch. and laid entirely around
the parade ground with branches ex

the point where the main reaches the

brick edifice raised sufficiently high tn
give q good domestic pressure, and ~
capacity equal to half a days supply
ct the post. This reservoir is pumped
full twice Q day and the pump at the
station then relieved Of further service
except In case Of emergency. Having
studied the system on paper, the Wis
