The Reception Given by the W. C. T.,
q. for Mrs. AlphonsO Hart.

Communicated
Most heartily welcomed to the hearths
and homes of her many Hillsboro
friends, is Mrs. A. Hart. The reception
was held at the home of Mrs. M. l..
Gregg Tuesday, July 5th. The evening
was lovely. From the adjacent trees the
pendent Chinese lanterns gave festive
appearance. Within the threshold the
hostesses, Mrs. Annie Miller and Mrs.
Annie Morrow, extended hospitable
greeting to the hundred or more incom.
ing guests. Within the parlor, Mrs. E.
J. Thompson and Mrs McSurely re-
ceived with Mrs. Hart, triad of loyal
crusaders.
Choice refreshments were served.
From capacious bowl of crystal, encir-
cled by cups OF crystal, was iced lemon
ade. The youthful Y's, alert and help.
full, assisted in serving ice cream and
cake.
One of the hopeful facts of Washing.
ton life, as stated by Mrs. Hart, is the
notable lessening of the use of wines in
official circles since an earlier residence
there during the Hon. A. Hart's con.
gressional term.
When heightened, purified public
sentiment shall demand the Danish
ment of intoxicants from state banquets
at the White House, then, ere long
throughout the length and breadth O.
our goodly land, shall the principles o.
the loyal white ribboners have universe
sway.

Miss Mamie Hands was the soprano
and she scored an instant and ffatterine
success. She is charmingly petite, and
this perhaps emphasizes all the more
her great strength of voice. Its quality
is great purity and sweetness, with a
plaintive tinge to it which makes every
intonation sink deep into the hearers
heart. Her method is most artistic and
her voice runs as smoothly and softly
over the difficult measures which she
chooses as thistledown waited about
by the breeze. She gave last night the
celebrated aria from Norma, and refus.
ed a tumultuous encore. On her second
appearance she rendered Bellenehi's
passionate Perfumes of the Orient and
answered to the encore which was so en-.
Enthusiastically demanded by singing
Stella Here, in the opinion of many.
she showed those qualities which are
certainly destined to made her famous
1t is q beautiful thing, and though seldom
given by ladies, was renered by Miss
Hand with marked effect"

FOX AND GEESE
Is the Popular tame at the Jail Just
Now.

Joshua Fox, one of the notorious gang
of poultry thieves who have infested
Salem township and the southern part
of the county for long time, was
brought here and lodged in Jail on Sat-
urday, charged with the theft of lot
of geese from Hamer Shafer, who lives
near Danville. He is under bond in the
sum of 5000 and there seems to be
good case against him. Some months
ago Marion Fox, or "Old Ned" as he is
called, Joshua's father, was under trial
for stealing lot of turkeys from VIM.
Hawthorne, but by some means secured
disagreement in the jury. The gang
is pest to the community and if the
neighbors would organize Fox chase
and rid the county OF them they would
confer favor.
Along with Joshua the Constable
brought six goslings which had been
removed from the Foxes and identified
as stolen property by several members
of Mr. shaffer's family, They will be
held in testimony and until the trial
will be quartered in new and COM
modious pond arranged for them by the
Sheriff in the Jail cellar. They will be
taught swimming and other things use
full for duck to know by Deputy Sheriff
McConnaughey, so that the ends of
justice will be met without the unfortu-
nate goslings losing anything during
their temporary incarceration.
A jury was drawn on Monday to hear
Fox's case, which has been set for trial
on next Monday.

FOUR COPPERs
To Walk Their Lonely Beats
Throughout the Burg.
Council Refuses to Confirm william
Housten's Appointment rs
Policeman.

The Council held its regular meeting
on Monday night with all members pres
ent except Mr.. Smith.
After the presentation Of the reports
and bills, Mr.. Hughey, as Chairman of
the Committee on Police, presented the
two ordinances, which he notified Coun.
Gil at the last meeting he intended to
present, providing for more thorough
and efficient organization of the village
police force.
The first one presented provides for
the appointment by the Mayor on the
1st of August Of two additional officers,
and afterwards, on the lst of May of
each year, Of four officers who, with the
Marshal, shall constitute the regular
force.
The other ordinance provides for the
division OF the city for police purposes
into four districts or beats, Main and
High streets to be the dividing line.
The Marshal is to have charge Of the
four police and assign one to each beat
for period Of one week, the assignment
of the officers to the different beats to be
in rotation.
Mr.. Hughey stated that he offered the
ordinances because he thoughtincreased
police protection was necessary and that
the two ordinances would affordit. The
only objection was the increased ex.
pense, but there was nearly enough
money in the treasury to meetit. Afte,
some discussion as to the amount o1
money available the ordinances were
passed on the first reading.
The initiated looked for lively till
when Mayor Davis braced himself and
announced that he was ready to make
the appointments for the vacancy or
the police force and the fire department
He then named VIM. Houston as police
officer. On the vote for confirmation
Mr.. Hughey was excused; Messrs
Rockhold, MCGUIRE and Foley voted
yea; Erwin, nay, and Houston will have
to wait for another vote. Mayor Davil
appointed him for the coming month
and he was sworn in. No appointment
were made for the fire department ant
| it looks now as If there would be DoD'
until Council confirms Houston.
Chairman Erwin, of street committee
asked an appropriation OF 500 for stree
and 5000 for sanitary purposes. Boil
were made. John S. jolly offered hi
resignation as Sealer of Weights AM
Measures and it was accepted. Martil
Mcclure was appointed to I'll the vacan
cy and the appointment was confirmed

WATER WORKS.


last week or two as to what has become
of the water works project which was 30
heartily endorsed by the voters of Hills.
boro at the special election only few
weeks ago, and good deal OF concern
has been manifested at the inaction of
Council in the matter. Just what is the
reason is hard to say, for there are
several complications which have arisen
to hinder immediate action.
Some of the members of the Council,
in explaining their seeming indifference
in the matter, hscribe the hitch in the
proceedings to the recent passage of the
annexation ordinance, and as far as it
goes the explanation is very acceptable
one. The first thing to be done towards
the erection Of the water works is the
issuing of the bonds provided for. If
this is done and the consequent indebt.
edness incurred before the annexation
of the new territory to the corporation,
the annexed portion could not be held
liable for any part of the debt, while
it would derive all the advantage af.
forded by the improvement. Mainly
for this reason, these members claim,
action has been deferred until the an.
nexation could be fully completed.
Council has completed it's part of the
annexation proceedings, and the matter
now rests with the County Commission.
ers for the final steps. It is thought
that it will be perhaps two months be-
fore the addition to the corporation ter.
ritory will be fully affected so that the
water works will remain in stat, quo dur.
ing that time at least.
Rumors are current, however, OF a
hitch of another kind, and which report
that the apparent indifference of several
members of Council is so real that Hills.
boro need not look for water works from
the present body. There are several
things which might be done in the way
of preliminary steps which would incur
no debts and which Council is not doing
so that there is strong probability that
the reports of differences of opinion in
the Council have some foundation. The
trouble is said to have arisen over the
employment of counsel for the corpora.
ton in the water works proceedings, and
some of the members of the Council are
so disgruntled over the selection of the
attorneys that the water works subject
has lost interest. and they are refusing
to give the matter any more attention
The citizens of Hillsboro voted "Watel
Works-Yes'' at the special election
without making it conditional on the
employment of any one person as attor
ney. and will look TO the members O
Council to take some decisive action

wells be done now? The Cook Wei
Company, Of Chicago, offer to do thi

the amount could not be drawn tempo
