Water Works.

The uneasiness occasioned by the
needless levy of tax for water bond in
terest has stirred the authorities and
contractors considerably, and the in
dications point to greater activity.
The Water Board is inclined to
think that w. H. Evansis behind with
his work, and that unless he "gets a
Move on him" he will stay behind.
Mr.. Evans thinks that whenever the
Water Board is in position to utilize
the new reservoir it will be found ready
for use, an opinion which means that

held at night, at which there were
short addresses by number of work
ers. At this meeting the report of
committee to draft Il constitution and
nominate officers for The Allegany
County Sunday School Association, =
was received, and the following unan-
imouslv elected:
Presidemt-Prof O. H. Bruce.
Secretary-Adam Kalbaugh.

Treasurer-George w. Spangler.
Rev. G.. J. Martz offered the follow
ing resolutions, which were unan-
imousl Y adopted:
Rcsolyed, That in the opinion of this con-
vention the Sabbath school cause is one of
the most important auXlIarIes in the con-
version of the world and the dissemination
of the important principles which lie at the
foundation of our republican government.
ReSolyed That the fact that there are nearly
10000 children in the county of Allegany be-
tween the ages of 5 and 81 years, outside of
the Sabbath school, emphasizes the import
ance of the formation of county society
and auxiliary societies in the towns and vii
lagos of the county.
Resoloed, That it is the duty of every chris
tan, and especially christian parents to aid
in the promotion of Sabbath school work
and to see that their children are regular in
their attendance in the Sabbath school.
ReSoIucd That this convention recognizes
the necessity OF the Divine agency of the
Holy Spirit in the conversion and salvation
of men, and the importance of earnest and
believing prayer for the blessing of God upon
our work.
Brief addresses were made during
the convention also by Rev. Thomas
S. Dewing, of Barton. and Rev. l..
Cannon Bell, of Homecoming.

b, B,

A large crowd, over 1000, assembled
at the Park Association grounds
Wednesday afternoon to witness a
game between the Mt. Savage and
Bowery clubs. The game began at
$40 and ran along at the slow rate of
3 innings per hour until nearly dark.
Bowery went first to the bat and
made three runs. In this inning a
lengthy dispute occurred over Jacks
right to stay on second after an alleged
attempt to get on third. Jack was
finally bounced. Mt. Savage fol-
lowed by scoring2.
Nothing made by either side In sec
ond, but a magnificent double play
by the visitors was a salient feature of
the game.
In third Mt. Savage made 2. In
first half another dispute. Jack got
the mitten again.
Both failed to score in fourth.
Bowery in the fifth made L, but in
the latter half lost command of the
ball and let the visitors in with runs.
In the sixth Bowery made l, Mt
Savage 2.
The score now stood II to 5 against
Bowery. The visitors made no more,
but at the end of the eighth our home
boys had crawled up to tie a turn
of affairs which must have democrat
lied the frebrickers. At any rate,
they declined to play the ninth on the
ground that it was too dark. Henry
Keenan,, umpire, of Midland, therefore,
awarded the game to Bowery.
Afterward another reason for not
playing the determining inning was
given-the club wished to return home
on the special train.
Generally the game was good one
IA little tedious at times, but for the
most part good.

At the time of General Fremont's
death he was engaged upon the manu-
script of paper for The Century's
Forthcoming series on the California
Gold Hunters. 1t was to be entitled
Finding Paths to California" and
was not only to deal with the several
exploring expositions, but to narrate
the writer's intimate connection with
the events which led to the conquest
and occupation of the territory. The
work will be promptly continued by
Mrs. Fremont. A first draft of the
article had been made, and the subject
had been so recently and closely dis
cussed by General and Mrs. Fremont
that she will have no trouble in
completing the manuscript, for which
she had already written an introduce
ton as well as a supplement describing
her life at Monterey in lS49. A fine
portrait of General Fremont from a
daguerreotype of 40 or so will ap-
pear in the September number of The

modores Sloat and Stockton, Duke
Gwin. and Governor Burnett, in an
article giving account of '.How Cali

Republican Politics.

The call for the Republican State
convention having been made matters
pertaining to the approaching cam
paign and the personnel of the next
Republican State ticket are now re-
ceiving attention. BY common con-
sent Gov. Heard will be renominated
without opposition; as he is serving
his first term the usual courtesy of a
second term will be accorded him and
no one will contest for this honor. So
far as our observation extends the
prevailing sentiment seems to be in
favor of new deal on the balance of
the State ticket, with the possible
exception of Prof. j. b. Thayer, State
Superintendent. This fact will
prompt the several aspirants for the
different State offices to be filled at the
November election to press their
claims for political preferment and
the coming convention promises for
that reason to be lively and interest
ing one. In view of the fact that the
coming campaign promises to be a
warm one the suggestion seems to be
proper that only men of known abili-
ty and irreproachable character should
be placed in nomination. The funda-
mental principles of the Republican
party are all right and will bear the
most rigorous criticism and searching
investigation. but the party can not
afford to permit any action by which
it may be called upon to defend the
private personal character of any of
its nominees for any official station
either high or low. The probable ef-
feet of the Bennett law upon the Re-
publican vote has in our opinion been
considerably exaggerated and except
in few counties the effects of the
law will scarcely diminish the Repub-
lican vote. Upon one point, however,
we feel fully assured, and that is, that
it is not safe to look to stray Demo
Gratis for votes to make up for any de-
lection in the Republican ranks that
the party's adherence to the Bennett
law may chance to produce. For this
reason it may be well for all Republi-
cans to be on deck that the full vote
of the party may be polled.
The candidacy of III. NJ. Stocking,
of Eau Claire, for Congressional honors
adds little Zest to the canvass for
that Office in this district, but there
seems to be quite general sentiment
in favor of Hon. n. p. Haugen for a
third term, and there is no doubt of
his nomination. This is as it should
be. Mr.. Haugen's predecessors were
third.termers and with the splendid
record he has made in Congress the
custom which would continue him
for another term should certainly not
now be abrogated.
In the matter of State Senator for
the vacancy occasioned by the resig-
nation of Hon. Ii. A. Taylor quite an
interest is felt in some quarters. We
learn that st. Croix county contains
number of gentlemen ambitious to ill
the vacancy; should they fail to agree
upon one of their own number they
will find their Pierce county brethren
ready and willing to supply an efficient
and acceptable candidate.
