New Street Grading Commenced.

Pat Sullivan, with full force of
men, commenced this morning grad
ing the new street through the prop
erty of the GAINESVILLE Land Com
pany to Greenwood, and as soon as
this street is completed the street
railway company will lay the track,
giving a street car line to the beauti-
full city of our beloved dead. Mr..
Sullivan will continue the street
building until the entire property is
laid out, which will bring nearly
300 new town lots into market. This
is valuable addition to GAINESVILLE,
offering cheap and attractive build
ing sites to new corners, and is well
calculated to promote the growth of
the city.

FOUL MURDER.
The Body of a Man Found in
West Fork.
The Skull Broken and Teeth Knocked
out-Unrecognizable and Shroud-
ed in Mystery.

William Cloud, of West Fork, KY,
was in the city to-day and gave the
LEAF.CHRONICLE the circumstances
of the finding of the body of dead
man in Mrs. LOgan's mill-pOnd yes
terday, which brings to light mys-
terious murder. The body was first
discovered by colored woman, So
phia Hart, floating on the water,
in some drift and hung by the twig
of bush.
The hOater was recovered from its
lodging place and Squire Tom Bar
ker held an inquest. Decomposition
was so far advanced that the jury
was unuable to make any positive
Identification. The hair had all
sloughed from the head and the re-
naming flesh was perfectly black.
The jury, however, concluded from
all indications that the find:was the
body of negro man. The skull of
the forehead was crushed in and
mashed as if struck a powerful blow,
and the front teeth were all missing.
There was nothing whatever about
the person to lead to identification.
The man had on a good pair of
striped cashmere pants, a patched
coat and good pair of button shoes,
and in one pocket was a barlow
knife.
The find has created quite a sensa-
ton in the community. No one has
disappeared or been missed in the
country, and the conclusion is that
the man was murdered in some dis
tant locality and hauled there for
concealment, or else had been floated
down by the high waters.

FLOATING PALACES.
Eugene Robinson's Museum And Opera
House Very Attractive

The three floating palaces of
Eugene Robinson now at the wharf
here are not what people generally
think them to be. Instead Of being
a cheap boat show, it is regular
floating Opera-house and museum
hall. People were surprised at the
taste with which everything is ar
ranged on the palaces. There is
nothing that will place it in line
with the cheap shows that sometimes
exhibit along the river.
The boats carry sixty people, all
attaches of the Opera-house and
museum, and all are dressed in uni
form. The apartments are heated
by steam and lighted by electricity.
Everything has an air of gentility
and is commented on very favorably
by the people who visited the per-
Torrance. The opera-house is con-
structed in regular opera-house style,
with ample stage room, nice opera
chairs, and as fine scenery as one
usually sees in city theatres. The
seating capacity is about 1900,
and when that number of seats are
sold the manager closes the doors.
There are several features in the
opera-hOuse performance that are
full of amusement. The performing
bears are sufficient to please the chill
dren at the outset. Some Of their
feats are almost incredulous.
Prof. Chas. P. Blatt, the herculean
wonder of the century, is indeed a
veritable giant in strength, whose
feats are worth seeing.
The regular stage performance con-
sists of specialties, songs and dances,
negro minstrelsy, sharp wit and
humor, ventriloquism and several
new features that are not seen in opera
houses. Ladies can attend these
performances with the knowledge
that there will be nothing indecorous
put on the stage. Manager Wall
will give them close attention and
see that no rough, drunken charac-
tiers are permitted on the boat to an
nOy them. Performances begin at
and this evening.

Sickness Among Children.

Its cause is undoubtedly to be found
in the way they are fed, and the neglect
OF their medical treatment. Many moth
ers are strong in their belief OF the good
state Of health ef their little ones, and
1t is only when sickness in mild or
strong form comes upon them that the
mother fully realizes the mistake of her
and thus unwittingly
brings painful suffering to her child and
uneasiness and trouble TO her own heart.

TmE REPUBLICAN has been asked several times recently why it did not support this man or that man for the Republican nomination as delegate for Congress. To all such the uniform re- ply has been that TIE REPUBLICAN had no candidate. As Republican paper its province is to support the nominee of the convention. We have the utmost faith in the intelligence and good judge ment of the men who will convene in this city next Tuesday to select the Republican standard bearer. should the nominee be Hon. Geo. w. Cheyney, Judge M. J. Egan, Col. Wm. Herring, Hon. x. o. Murphy, Gen. W. O. O'Neil, Hon. A. J. Doran, or any other whose names have been mentioned, he will have our earnest support, Of the gen tlemen named above we can say from personal acquaintance, that any one of them would do credit to the party, and with tine united support of the party should defeat any man the Democracy may put up.

STORAGE RESERVOIRS.

In an article on the summer rains in this Territory the Denver RepuJlicdn gives some good advice about building storage reservoirs for irrigation pur- poses and takes strong grounds in favor of allowing private capital to build reservoirs to reclaim land, Speaking of the recent washouts and the possibili- ties for irrigation it says;
 The rainy season on the Pacific Coast is in the winter. Most of our rains come in the spring But in Arizona the rainy season is in the sum mer This is true, also, of a great part of New Mexico.
 During the latter part of the summer and the first half of the autumn 1t frequently rains So much and so hard in Arizona that railway tracks are washed out for many miles, A few days ago dispatch from1 Tucson stated that heavy rains had been falling in that locality for ten days, and that sixty miles of the santa Fe road, between Benson and NOgales, had been washed out The santa Cruz river was again flooding the valley.
 ArizonN is acountry of mcsas, isolated noun laius and broad valleys In crossing the noun taiuous part of the Territory one does not have to climb a steep pass, like in Colorado, but one may AAlNN t NtSNi Hll NAA'AHh NhN 'N'A't''N' passing around the mountains instead of going over them. This is just the kind of country in which reservoirs for the storage of storm water could be put to excellent use The mesas and broad valleys contain great deal of what would be fertile land under irrigation. But there are, comparatively speaking, few streams, for they sink in the soil as soon as they get be- yond the rocky formation of the mountains. Reservoirs would hold the wasted water of these streams and enable agriculturisIs to dis tribute it upon their land
 The reservoirs would be of value chiefly in storing the storm water which falls during the rainy season, A vast quantity of rain must fall to cause the great floods which sweep miles of railway track away and fill the rivers to over flowing, If strong dams were built across the canOns and arroyOs, reservoirs could be made which would hold water enough to irrigate many thousands of acres that are now almost as barren ns the desert of Sahara.
 The hope of the agricultural development of Southwestern New Mexico and Arizona is in the construction of reservoirs for the holding of the storm water. But this will not be done very soon unless private capital is permitted to take hold of the work Private capital should be allowed to go into that part of the country, build the needed reservoirs, and reclaim the land.

IDAHO Republicans in their first State Convention took no halfway ground upon the Mormon question, but came out boldly in q plank in their platform demanding laws for the suppression of Mormonism. The Republicans of Ari- zona cannot afford to be any less aggres- sive upon this subject. The open coun- tenancing of all the crimes of Mormon ism by ex-Judge Wright has em- boldened them to resume the open practice of polygamy in a number of remote settlements of the Territory. The National Republican party has already taken it's stand upon this subject and Arizona Republicans if they are true to themselves and to the Territory will be equally outspoken against this monster in our political structure.
