tcndent Of the Sixth and Seventh ave. lines saih
yesterday that they had not lost single ho''e
during tho day. although they lost few on pre-
vious days The percentage Of sick horses hah
often been greater IN previous summers wh"n the
weather was not nearly so hot Mr.. cahil at
trlbuted this to the fact that tho animals receive
more care now than they did formerly.
About 1900 horses used on the TWO lines
Sheltered stations have been est Iblished for them
at comparatively short intervals along the lines
and the horses on the cars arc changed frequently
The drivers have been instructed to refrain from
urglng the horses under any circumstances. ana
there has been no attempt to mako the trips on
the usual schedule time.

WATER CONSUMPTION INCREASED.

TWENTY FOUR BILLION GALLONS IN RESERVE
HOWEVER. AND NO DANGER OF \ FAMINE
In such times OF phenomenaly warm weather as
order Of things that the consumption Of water should
be greatly increased Consequently It is satisfactory
to know. the authority OF Chief Engineer Bird
sall OF the Croton Aqueigct Department.; that the
strain will be easily responded 10.
For the last week. during the period in which
the existing hot wave has made existence unconl-
Portable in this city. the daily consumption Of water
has been in the neighoorhood Of 81 0oc 100 gallons
The quantity OF water that is ordinarily used in the
city. about POS Op0)) gallons so that ABOUT
SS.O000O gallons represents the increased consu7Ap-
ton due TO the hot weather. How well the SUNNY
Is able greater demands on its resources Is
best shown by the fact that the amount OF stored
water equals more than 240Do oo 900 gallons Should
abnormal leonard arise. Chief Engineer Blrdsall
says he draw l2.GO. en0lvo gallons of storage
water 10 I'LL the ctys needs. There is however
lttle probability Of sucn an extremity arising The
daily supply from the CrotOn River Is about 100 90
900 gallons the call upon the therefore being
100000 gallons each day To exhaust the
total quantity OF water stored would require the
continuance OF a draugnt OF over 10 DAYS A CON
tinEency that Is certainly not likely 10 happen.
Chief Engineer BirdSAll said yesterday that the
consumption OF water this summer had been much
greater than last year. This he attributed TO the
circumstance that comparatively dry atmOspheres
prevailed last year Ii WAS an interesting fact Mr.
Blrdsal pointed out that the presence OF humid "

The police are suffering severely during the pres

the regulation summer uniform. Their duties.
furthermorc are unusually heavy at. present by
reason OF the calls for aid to persons prostrated

bodies OF animals who die from sunstroke. They
are therefore kept to the fun hours OF work. and
many OF them have succunoed. Two hundred and
eight officers were aent TO the hospital on Monday

Who Will We Nominated

The time for holding the Republican
county convention will soon be here
and it is natural TO ask the question
whom will we nOminate"' We be-
lieve we are safe in expressing the well
known fact that all the Republican
county officers have done we'll in their
respective offices considering the fact
that they have been serving the people
during their first term. Some of them
have proven frst-cIass officials-the
best Wood County ever had. 1t is
positively known that the County
Clerks not DESTROYS Of denomination,
while all the others excepting, of
course, the sheriff. are expecting to be
given a chance before the voters for q
second time. 1t is the general opinion
that they should De renOmlnated by
reclamation. We expect they will be.
1t is customary to give an efficient and
painstaking officer a second term if he
desires it, and it will be done in their
case.
There are three candidates for sheriff
and three for county clerk as far as
heard from. Probably these are all.
Geo. II. Smith, Of Sherry, Claus John
son, of Sigel and F. NJ. Weld, of
Marshtield, are the candidates for
SDeIlu, any one Oh NDOIll IL uOulludlGU
and elected will fill the Office creditably.
Messrs. +. S. Renne, of Marshfeld,
Leonard Lampert, of Centralia and
Jacob Searles, of Seneca, are willing to
serve the County as clerk if nominated
and elected on the Republican ticket.
Those who are best acquainted with
these men say that we never have had
such an array of talent willing to serve
the county in this capacity. This is a
good omen and we are delighted to
know the time has come in Wood
county when able men will step for
ward and show a willingness to serve
as county officials.
We cannot believe that any dele
gate or Republican Of Wood county
will refuse to vote for Herman G. Wip-
perman's denomination and reelection
as member of Assembly. We never
had more efficient, hard working
member in that body and we favor his
unanimous denomination by acclama-
ton. What we say of Mr.. Wiper
man is true of Messrs. Nick Berg,
treasurer; Nash Mitchell, register; P
A. Williams, district attorney; w. J.
Shea, clerk of court; and r. A. Have
nor, county superintendent Of schools.
We are proud of all of them. No one
should encourage anyone else to be-
lieye that they could succeed in obtain
ing a nomination away from anyone
of these. They are all deserving of a
second term and we believe the people
will see that they get it.

Condition of Trade.

Better prospects and relief from
monetary anxiety do not yet bring
larger demand for finished products,
though large buying of pig iron, wool,
leather. hides, cotton and other materi
ais continue to show growing belief
that a general upward movement in
prices will come with the replenishment
of dealers stocks this fall. Most prices
are extremely low, SO that nothing more
than an ordinary demand would ad-
vance them. But bank failures at New
Orleans cause temporary hesitation,
crop returns indicate disappointment in
some cotton and some spring wheat
states, prices of corn and oats make it
improbable to sell at present, the num-
Der Of manufacturing works and mines
in operation does not gain, but rather
decreases, reductions of wages are
somewhat numerous, O occasionally resis
ted by strikes, and all these conditions
diminish for a time the buying power
Of the people. While many think gen.
eral Improvement cannot come until
the election has removed political I'M
certainties, others expect soon to see
the result anticipated i'll trade.

An lrisllman's Opinion.

An IriShman, sharp, shrewd and
well read gentleman, recently eX-
pressed his sentiments as follows:
Free Trade has ruined Ireland, beg
CARED its people and driven them into
exile. 1t will do the same by any peO-
pie who adopt it. 1t is the duty of
every Irishman to vote for Mckinley,
the champion of Protection and the
foe Of British Free-Trade. And any
Irishman who will vote for Bryan
ought to have written across his fore
head in lines Of blood and birthstone,
that all people might see it. i am
no longer an Irishman, [ am traitor
to my race, and a slave of Great
Britain"
1t is the duty of every American
citizen to rise up as one man, unite
heart and hand and work from now
on until November for Mckinley,
the advance agent Of prosperity,
whose election will bring to the
American people a return of good
times, plenty of employment, better
wages, better markets, and happier
homes

For Railroad Men.

The Stevens Point Journal in its last
week s issue contained an address signed
by fifty-one prominent railroad men
who pledge their support to the Repub-
lican ticket. The address closes with
the following:
Let us railroad men bury all person
al feeling and devote every energy to
the support of this ticket. 1t repre-
sents the one hundred cent dollar; pro-
lection for the industries which make
freight for our roads; protection and
reciprocity which furnish markets for
our western farmers.
1t means to US FULL TINE and
FULL TRAINS, and not four days q
week and empty coaches as at present.
Let us stand solidly together as we
have in the past. The railroad vote in
this. state is power. Boys. let us use
it wiselyw

Positive for Gold Standard Repub=
lican Money Plank.

The Republican party is unleservedIy
for sound money. 1t caused the enact
ment of the law providing for the
resumption of specie payments in 1879;
since then every dollar has been as
good as gold.
We are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
rency or1mpair the credit of our coun-
try. We are therefore opposed to the
free coinage of silver, except by inter
national agreement. with the leading
commercial nations of the world, which
We pledge ourselves to promote, and
until such agreement can be obtained
the existing gold standard must be
preserved.
All our silver and paper currency
must be maintained at parity with gold,
and we favor all measures designed to
maintain invio]ably the obligations of
the United States, and all our money,
whether coin or paper, at the present
standard, the standard of the most en-
lightened nations of the earth.

q sTuPENDOUS REPUDIA-
TON or POPULISM.

AUGUSTA, Me, Sept. l4,-Chairman
Manley of the Republican State com
mittee sent the following telegram:
To the Hon. NJ. \. Hanna, Chair
man Republican National Committee
The Republican party has achieved
this day the most sweeping and mag
nificent victory ever accorded to any
party in the history Of Maine.
We have carried every county in the
state; elected every state senator; at
least 40 out of Isl members Of the
house of representatives; secured
every county officer; given each men,
Der of our magnificent delegation in
the house of representatives the largest
majority they ever received; elected
our candidate for governor by the
greatest majority ever given a candi-
date for that high office; endorsed
the st. Louis platform and declared
for EcKinley and Hobart by $4,000
majority.
The Republican vote will exceed by
several thousands the largest Republi-
can vote heretofore given, and the
vote given the Democratic candidate
for governor is the smallest Demo
cratic vote cast, with one single eX-
ception, and that is the vote Of 1894,
which was only 1900 less.
What more could Maine have done
for the cause Of good government,
honest money and protection?
