and the belt thrown off there is no waste
of power, as there is with steam He
had information from De Kalb, H., Of
the practical working of a pumping
plant there, which showed that the cost
Of pumping by steam had been eleven
cents thousand gallons and by cleo
tricity only four cents He could, he
was satisfied, reduce the cost of pump
ing at Y street about 40 per cent. less
than by steam.
McKay's motion was amended so that
bids could be made on the separate
parts Of the plant and that electricity
could be used.
Another long discussion ensued and
Devine offered an amendment that the
resolution be submitted to the City
Engineer for his opinion as to the ca
pacity Of the pump needed.
William Johnston was called on for
his opinion and advised the board to put
in a large enough pump while they were
about it and get a good one. He HIM
self had made the mistake in putting
in too small a pump and advised them
not to do so. The best pump he knew of
was on Merritt Island and was in du-
plicate all the way through, so that if
cne broke down the other could be used.
A proposition was read from the
Kreogh Company to furnish a pump
with a capacity of from 1000 to 10000
gallons, at a rental Of SO 70 a day and
$50 for setting it up. the city to find the
foundation and pipe, and the rental to
so on the price of a plant, if one was
purchased from the company.
Kent advocated renting the pump,
so that his portion of the city could be
relieved of the water, but the board did
rot favor the project.
McKay's motion was postponed till
Monday night and the board adjourned.

Tom Watsnn at Ioln Ks

lola, Ks, Sept 11,-Tom Watson, pop ulist vice presidential candidate, spoke here today to an audience of 1000 people. His address was made at the fair grounds in a rain storm. In his speech he justified the present existence of the peoples party by the statement that the republicans had betrayed the people in the crime of 1873 and the democrats by the crime of 1893. Both parties had as- sisted in killing the greenback party by asking them to trust them. To the demo- crats in the south and the republicans in the west he said: T am the only rep resentative.w which the peoples party now has on the national ticket. If I am re- moved Bryan will lose Texas, Tennessee and Kentucky at least. To take me off the ticket splits the silver party and elects Mckinley
 Continuing he said that MT Sewall was not true silver man. "He has not had the disease long enough" He called Sewall bondholder, railroad king, mill lionaire, supporter of McISinley's tariff idea and said he was president of the Merchants Marine association of Phil adelphia, which asks for higher protec- tion.

A test of steel making under the Haw- kins process at the new plant at North Birmingham was made Thursday night and the run" is reported a success.
 Four tons of steel were turned out The test as yet is not thorough and changes may have to be made to secure the desired results.
 The steel made will be next tested at the rolling mills.
 The run was witnessed by several steel makers from Chicago and other points, who express themselves as well pleased so far and have much confidence in the practical workings of the new system.
 MT. Hawkins says it may take several weeks yet to make thorough test, as important changes may have to be made In the furnace to get proper control of the heat.
 While every one is eager that the new process may prove a success, there is no excitement so far, but if the test sus- tains what is claimed for it by Mir Haw- kinS it vii reYolutionize steel making

Bryan from his residence to the Missouri Pacific station. brass band headed the parade. Quite a large crowd gathered al the station and cheered MT. Bryan as his train drew out. MT. Bryan made brief speech from the rear car. He said:
 Ladies and Gentlemen: l don't know whether l shall return to Nebraska again just before the election or not but l go away from Nebraska feeling that it is noHnecessary tCheers) l want to say to you that from the reports which have been receiving l do not believe that there is single county in the state that the republicans are sure of carrying this fall (great cheering), and, more than that ev- cry day finds our cause stronger through out the union than it was the day before. Every day finds persons who are declar- ing for free coinage and I think l am safe In saying that you will not find among all your acquaintances man who one month ago was in favor of free coin age at 16 to l, and able to give a reason for it, who has changed his mind. But you cannot find any man who was for free coinage who is thinking himself into the gold standard idea Cloud cheering.) A little over a month ago I went into what then called the enemys country. but I found down there just as much en- thusiasm as there is in Nebraska. Today some parts of the country are more friendly than others, but there is no ene- my's country" Loud cheering)
 Mr. Bryan's first stop after leaving Lin- coin was at Eagle, where a small crowd of people, drum corps and a bonfire composed the elements of his reception. Elmwood, another small place, turned out with torches, and Wabash added red fire to smoky flambeaux.
