the excuse for not attending to mat

been very busy in behalf of the

have plenty of time in the future.
There was a risky. piece of work
done at the post Office this morning,
The lanyard on the flagstaff rotted in
two and it became necessary to put in
new one and to do this some one
had TO climb the poll. The services
of Mr.. Rodgers, the telegraph line

safely done.
The resolution of Alderman Her.

right direction. There is $1,000 in
the cemetery fund which can not be
used for any other purpose than to
improve these grounds, and the COM

on the resolution and recommend
that work be done at once.

ANOTHER WELL FOR WACO
THE WELL FOR PARHOTT'S
NATATORIUM NOW BOLDLY
Flowing After Weeks tof Hard
Work and bad Luck tho Fountain
Was struck and the water Came
Forth.

Another artesian we'll for Waco.
This morning early the drillers of the
well for Col. PARROTS natatorium en-.
tered the white sand strata in which
the famous hot water of Waco is
found. About IL o'clock the water
itself was reached the first flow com
ing strong and by l o'clock the well
was finished. AS soon as the news
was spread the crowd began to gather
and every citizen of Waco rejoiced
that another we'll and consequently
additional prosperity to Waco's
abundance. This we'll is a six inch
one and is to supply the natatorium
which Col. Parrott and his associates
Messers Sam Sanger, Jas. l. Moore,
5. w. Slayden and J.-B. Fowler will
Immediately erect. The natatorium

THE NEWS. The benefit of having
this natal orium in the heart of the
business portion of the city is incalcu
liable. Every travelling man who
can possibly make Waco by Sun
day will do so. This is already
being done by great many travelling
men who come to Waco to get to
plunge in her hot water. Waco
is just becoming a great place of re-
sort and future generations will rise
up and honor the names Of Col. Par.
rott, Mr. Padgitt and others who were
the first to put the healing water to
use.

STILL HOLDING THEIR PISTOLS.
Robber and His Victim Found Dead and
Dying.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, May 30.-W.
J. Jones, manager of the Sandwich Qlli-
nois) Manufacturing Company, who had
been under the influence of liquor several
days, with considerable sum of money
on his person, was called from his house
last night by a messenger who stated
that his presence was required at the
Ogden House. That was the last seen of
Jones until his body was found this
morning in dark street near the hotel
with bullet hole in the abdomen and
the skull crushed. He had a revolver
clutched in his hand. He was still alive
but speechless. A block away, close to
a bloodstained hack, was the dead body
of Jack Wade with a pistol wound in the
breast. Wade also had revolver. The
driver of the hack, Tom Crogan, has
since been arrested with James Maher.
Both are hard characters as also was
Wade. With robbery for their motive,
the three men are supposed to have sent
the message which enticed Jones from
his home. 1t is probable that he did not
succumb when struck on the head and
that remarkable pistol duel between
himself and Wade followed on the lonely
street at midnight.

GENERAL MATTocKs AT FRYeBURG.
An Address to the Old Soldiers of Grover
Post
Especial to the Press.1

FRYEBURG, May 30.-The Grover Post,
No. 1926, G. A. R., celebrated Memorial
Day according to their usual custom,
and in the afternoon held services at the
Methodist church. The decorations ,of
the church, which consisted of flowers
and bunting, were very tastefully ar
ranged. The music was well rendered
by male quartette, formed of Messrs.
Sturdivant, Lewis, Wentworth and Mer-
rill. with Mrs. BERTHE Abbott as organist.
The programme was as follows:

Music--America The Quartette
Benediction.. Rev. c. S. Young
General Mattocks spoke of the origin
and history of the Grand Army of the
Republic and said that it's founders
builded better than they knew. The
cardinal points of this order are fraterni-
ty, charity and loyalty. 1t did not in
troduce into this country the custom of
decorating the graves, but the idea ori-
ginated in France and was practiced in
the South before the civil war. War
is cruel and will not end in our day, but
it brings about a healthy state of society.
More progress has been made in science
and arts, in the thirty years that have
passed since our last war than during all
the generations that preceded it. War
proves also a potent factor in the develop
ment of men. The speaker referred to
the Sons of Veterans and the Woman's
Relief Corps paying high tribute to the
modest yet noble work of the latter. The
address received the close attention of
the audience.

THE OLD GRESHAM GUARD.
Anti-Harrison Hoosiers Forming Clubs to
Support Blaine.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 30.-The organized
movement by the old Gresham Guard to
enroll the anti-Harrison Republicans of
Indiana into Blaine clubs for the purpose
of demonstrating to the national conven-
ton that the President had strong oppo-
sition in his own state has frightened the
administration men. Last night the Re-
publican state committee sent out to all
the prominent Harrison men of the state
the following appeal, marked confden-
tial:
There is anxiety in high circles. An advance
delegation should go to Minneapolis at once If
you cannot go sooner, can you go by June 2?
Answer.
FRANK L. M1LLIKEN, Secretary.
'We've got them on the rum said
Otto Gresham, when shown one of the
confidential letters. Otto is a son of
Judge Gresham. He is the solicitor of
the Chicago and Erie railway and very
popular With the exception of G. W.
Fairbanks, all the Gresham leaders of
1883 are now actively working for Blaine.
Fairbanks aspires to succeed Senator
Turpie, and the Blaine men accuse him
of having made deal with the admins
tration men.
The Blaine men claim that they will
have at Minneapolis strong delegation
of Indiana colored men, who will be as
signed to seats among the Southern dele
gates. 1t is the intention of the Blaine
men from all over the state to meet at
Chicago next Saturday night and on Sun
day start for Minneapolis in body with
the Chicago, Detroit and Cincinnati
Blaine clubs. Only active Republicans
are enrolled by the Indiana Blaine clubs.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, May 30.-Memorial
day was marked by the unwilling of the
beautiful soldiers monument in Wash
ington park, the unveiling being done by
five young women, each of whom is the
daughter of a veteran of the War. Presi-
dent Harrison delivered a short address
to the great throng gathered in the park.
In substance he said: "This great march
ing column in which the veterans of the
war have trod again to the old music,
followed again with faithful hearts
the old flag that they may
do honor to those brave comrades called
upon to make greater sacrifice than we
for the flag we dearly love, those follow
ing squadrons, platoons and companies
of children of your public and parochial
schools, marching to the music of drum
and fife and bugle, and the cheering null
titudes whose great open hearted express
sion we saw as we moved along your
streets, all testify to the fact that
our constitution, our laws and that
glorious flag that symbolizes them
is surely set upon a granite foundation.
If we should fail, comrades, to meet any
peril that might be in the pathway of
this nation, it seems to me the trundle
beds of the country would furnish it's de-
tenders. War is not attractive to our
young people. No, our people are
smitten with love for peace.
We had not so much cultivated in the
North as our friends of the South had
the military spirit. 1t took great deal
to separate these home-loving, peaceful
people from their homes. But when the
moment came and the dreaded war was
a present fact, with what magnificent
self-sacrifice, with what untiring fidelity,
every family tie, every commercial inter
est was put beneath the supreme duty to
save the nation and redeem the flag"
