have on hand also 48ls feet Of plank
which can be used in the coming
season for sidewalks and crossings
besides $500 already used. The
reservoir in connection with the
well gives us a sufficient supply
Of good water under ordinary cir
cumstances. After this work
was done petitions were presented
to the council by the property own
ers on Strait avenue and End avenue
and Okabena street asking that we
extend the water main in said local
ity. After figuring with different
parties we concluded to buy car
load of 4 inch cast iron pipe which
we did from parties in Besselner,
Ala, for $1,000 per ton, we saved by
so doing about $50 over St. Paul
and Chicago prices. This pipe we
used in extending the main. We
advertised for bids to do the dig
ging and filling Of ditch, getting
the work done at the lowest posi-
BILE figures. The cost of each extern
ton is as follows: -"

-
For the work done on the street,
sidewalks and etc., under the super
vision of the Street Commissioner,
I would refer you to his report.
The amount of coal consumed at
pumping station during the year
ending March 20, cost us $4ol.75.
We have been using the higher
priced coal as an experiment, but
will use the cheaper the coming
year, which will enable us to intelli-
gently tell which is the best to use.
Bv the figures below it will appear
that the Water Works revenue did
not equal the expenditures by over
$4,000, however, such is not the
case, as we now have on hand at the
pumping station, as per invoice
taken by the superintendent, STAT
worth of supplies over and above
what we had on hand a year ago.
Also the extra expense caused at
the station by the construction of
the reservoir, being one extra man
to pump, and also consuming a great
deal more coal during the construc-
ton of the reservoir. This amount
was charged to the operating &C
count of the water works. There is
also about $4,000 of uncollected
bills which will lower the amount,
making the plant little more than
paying all expenses the past year,
including 100000 interest on the
bonds which we paid promptly when
due. The coming year will be bet
ter. still as we have increased the
plant and have more renters. This
proves that the water used by the
Fire Department cost us nothing,
while other villages of similar size,
not owning the plant, pay from
200 to $1,000 for this purpose
alone. "~ -.f@

The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1894-04-12

Senator Hill, of New York, who, by
main strength and senatorial courtesy,
is the boss of the democratic side Of
the o.. S. Senate, says no tariff bill
shall pass that is not in accordance
with the wishes of his New York con-
stituency. As that state is in favor Of
American industries it is presumed
that the astute senator will not vote
with the democrats. Democratic
organs style MIR. Hill as peanut pol
itician. As those are about the only
nuts that go with that party it looks
as though David had the best Of it.

James Manning, Of Worthington,
Democratic state committeeman for
this district, is quoted by the Worth
ington ADVANCE to this effect; II want
to see a Worthington man senator
from this district. Think we are en-
titled to the honor" Does that mean
Dan Shell, too? Mr.. Manning seems
to use the '<we'' in a peculiar sence.
Or is the News reading the sentence
wrong? Who can answer?-Luverne
News.
Mr.. Manning probably means just
what he says, whether you read the
sentence right or wrong.

& Another silver bill has been intro
duced in Congress.

The little opposition to Senator W.
D. Washburn in various parts of the
state seems to have dwindled into an
insignificant nothing. The only hope
of the opposition is to get Hon. John
Lind to announce that he will be
candidate. This he refuses to do,
hence the Senator's enemies are at
sea. Mr.. Lind is regarded as one of
the ablest and strongest men in the
state.

An Express Messenger on the Ala bama Great Southern HAS HIS SKULL CRUSHED While Attempting to Warn a Tramp of His Proximity
 to Death.

Between the hours of 1 and o'clock yes- terday morning l. N Cochran, a Southern Express messenger on Queen and Crescent limited No. l, happened to an accident which resulted about three hours later in his death.
 The train was running at the rate of about thirty-fi miles an hour and was nearing an over head bridge, which is about half mile south of Livingston.
 As No. pulled out of Livingston Coch- ran discovered trampWNdading on the top of his car, and knew that if something was not done that he would be knocked from the top of the car and probably killed.
 Thinking that if the tramp did not lie closely upon the top of the car that death would be the direct result, Cochran leaned from the side door of his car and yelled to the tramp to lie down or he would be killed. The unfortunate man, in trying to save the life of another, did not know that he was so near the bridge, and before he swung back into his car he was struck by the side structure of the bridge. The result was that he was knocked back into the car with fractured skull and in an unconscious condition.
 At York an Alabama Great Southern sur geon was picked up and did all possible for the man. At Meridian Dr. Harrison, an other Alabama Great Southern surgeon, thC Gidiu tCuNClCu dil pOoSlOIo dlu to the messenger. However, his wounds were fatal and beyoud medical aid, and about three hours after he was struck he died.
 Cochran was 28 years old, and in few weeks would have been married. He had been with the Southern Express company for quite while, and had been in the ser vice of the States. He wac a man who made many friends.
 His body was shipped to Paint Rock, Ala, his former home, this morning for burial.

A HAPPY CHANGE.

POLITICS GIVES WAY TO RELIGIOUS TOPICS.
 INTERESTING REvIvALs-CPOP NOTES. MOUNT PINsoN, Aug. H.-ISpeciaI Cor respondence. 1.-The farmers of the white counties have from time beyond memory chosen this season of the year-the inter- val between ''laying by'' crops and harvest-for religious revival meetings. Each denomination, in turn, takes it's share of the solemn, but highly exciting annual duty. It is certainly a happy re- vulsion Of feeling and ominous of good , citizenship when the deep antiquities of the late political conflict are made to give place so soon to at least an apparent uni versal brotherly unity. By the way, our social fabric is controlled osteusibly by the written guarantee of free opinion. We could not expect or desire an elective sys. tenn of govern ment reproductive of polit- ical debate and political differences among the suffragists. nevertheless we are, in the season of debate and differences among ourselves, as proscriplive in temper as the old parties who sent their victims to Lon don town or the stake.

EUTAw, Aug. 21.-[Special. 1.-The con- gressional race in the Sixth district Is against Bahkhead on account of the Lake, view deal. The following letter to the Mirror explains itself:
 LETTER FROM A. G. SMITH.
 EUTAw, Ala, Aug. 21. MT. T. J. Anderson, Eutaw, Ala.-
 DEAR SIR: Not long since you wrote me about the payment of S25o by Bankhead to MT. Bowman, and asked me for the facts so far as knew. In reply gave you sim ply the facts and supposed this would be the last oi it. intended to say nothing more about it, but MT. Bankhead is out in a circular letter in which he attempts to hide himself behind General Shelley and MT. H. D. Clayton, and attempts to with draw notice from the main issue by raising Shelley and myself. On this account solely l write this reply. 1 re- peat emphatically that General Shelley did not know of the payment to MT. Bow man of the $250. General Shelley has told me so since the August election. Mir. Bankhead does not deny thls in his circu- lar letter. He cannot deny it truthfully. In the letter which MT. Bankbead wrote to you on June Il, 1894, he attempted to create the impression, and no doubt did so, that the payment of this $250 to MT. Bowman was part of some necessary expenses con- nected with his effort to keep a Weaver ticket from being nominated. I say this S250 was not paid for that purpose, and had DO connection whatever with it, and challenge him to deny this statement. don't suppose MT. Bowman cares to mix up with thing that does not particularly concern him, but he could throw flood Of light on this matter, and no doubt if Mir. Bankhead would ask him to make statement of it he would do so. He is the man who got the money, and he and MT. Bankhead are the ones that know the most about the whole transaction. Now let Mir. Bank head deny these statements in this letter and call on MT. Bowman to rise and ex- plain. He need not bs afraid of exposing party secrets, for none will be exposed by an explanation of this matter, further than he has already exposed them. 1 suppose that MT. Bankhead would much rather for MT. Bowman to keep very quiet.

FUNERAL OF MES. DIR. H. Nj. CALD-
 WELL.
 The funeral of Mrs. Henry M. Caldwell took place from the First Presbyterian church yesterday afternoon at 6:30 o'clock and the remains were laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery. The large gathering of sorrowing friends filled the church and the services were most beautiful and impress sive. Rev. L. s. Handley, D. D., pastor of the Central Presbyterian church, con- ducted the services, Rev. Mir. Walker being unable to reach the city in time. Dr. Handley took for his text, the 18th verse of the 116th Psalm: ''Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.' And his remarks were appro. priate, beautiful and consoling. His tribute to the sainted woman was true and touching, and thereIwas a feeling response by the large congregation to every word he spoke, for the community know and loved Mrs. Caldwell.
 As the sun sank below the western hills the benedictIon ct the grave was pro- nounced, and the tomb enclosed the earthly remains of one whose departure from among us has saddened many hearts, but whose beautiful life gave full assurance that 'shs sleeps well. i"
