the raising the per capita tax to 20 cents and
some of the very ablest speeches made in the

the present figure-16 cents.

indianapolis is beautiful city with wide,
clean streets, kindly hammered, hospitabe
people. and excellent hotels. The Soldiers
Monument is a uniquely attractive creation.
1t has many features not found i'll any, and
shows great originality in conception The
great gush of turquoise-tinted water at its
base is particularly a stroke of original genius,
that fascinates the observer more than any
artistic ornamentation could do On the
east and west sides gush forth i'll great vol
ume flows of water about 20 feet broad,
which foam over the stone layers for several
feet, and finally settle down into large, rip
ping pools, inclosed in cut stone, and sc
deep that the bottom cannot be seen. The
color of the water is very peculiar 1t is q
strong but very light ultramarine, or lapis-
lazuli, and looks particularly cool, refresh
ing, and inviting, particularly OH hot, dry,
dusty days, such as prevailed during The
National Encampment.

AGAIN IN USE.
The Large Swimming Pool at the Y
M. C. A. Again in Use Af.er Being
Extensively Repaired.

The members of the Y. M. c. A. are
permitted to use the large swimming
pool again, after it had been closed
for some time on account of leakage.
The pool was completed in Septem-
Der, 1896, and after being open less
than a month and half leakage de-
veloped to such an extent that it be-
came necessary to discontinue the use
of it. 1t has since been a source of
heavy expense and great anxiety to
the Association. The members of the
Building Committee, Messrs. Myron
Hubbard, William A. List and A. L.
White, have been untiring in their eff
forts to secure for the Association a
perfectly satisfactory pool. The long
delay in getting the use of the pool
has been due largely to the fact that
for more than year it was in the
hands of different contractors, who
failed to make it water-tight. The
committee recently had the enameled
brick lining and cement bottom re-
moved, and under their own superv1s-
ion the entire pool recemented. 1t is
now perfectly water-tight and ready
for use. The pool will be open for
general use every day, except Sunday

Rumor has it that a certain promi-
nent Republican member of the First

The saving the Board of Gas Trus-
tees will make in the coal contract for
the coming year will go far, with other
economies, toward paying off the old
over-check of about $1,000. The Board
has handled this little matter very well,
and will yet get out Of the hole.

given any great consideration before

| will run themselves until the first of
January rolls around. At the last
meeting of Council in the present
month the usual three months appro-

propriating to each department one
fourth of the expenditures allowed dur

mittee will take time to consider. There
are vague rumors of certain economies
to be introduced, but what the talk will
amount to remains for the future to
disclose.
1t is altogether likely that the con-
dition of the workhouse will be
brought to the attention of Council
soon. after the first of the year. The
old building is steadily getting into
worse shape and escapes are becoming
common. At present the establishment

Death OF Mr.. Riley.

Mr.. VIM. Riley died at his home in this
city last Friday afternoon of dropsy of the
heart. The announcement of his death
was a great shock to many Of bis friends,
who did not know that he was even af-
flicted with disease. Though eve a
stout, robust man, he always enjoyed
very good health, and it was only q few
weeks ago that his disease manifested
itself. He realized his condition, and
though not confined to his room but a
few days he told his family that his end
would soon come. By his death Ander-
son County loses one Of her best citizens.
Mr.. Riley was born and reared in
Laurens County, where he lived until
1860, when he moved to Anderson County,
and has resided here ever since. In 1850
daughter of the late Nathaniel Gaines, of
Greenville County, and to them were
born eight children, five daughters and
three sons, all of whom are living. He
was reared amid Christian influences,
and in his young manhood joined the
Baptist Church, and from that time till
his death he was a most jealous and de-
voted member, filling the office of deacon
during nearly all his life. He was recog-
nized among his brethren as a good man,
and one who could be depended on to do
his part in the various enterprises of his
Church. He was a man ofgood judgment,
sound principles and a genial disposition,
and these elements of character, supple
mented by grace, made him a good man
in all the various relations and RESPONSE
bilities Of life. lie was a good husband,
a good father, a good neighbof, a good
citizen, a man whose place will be hard
to fill, and whose loss to his family is
irreparable. He was a man of strong
convictions, and was generally on the
right side Of every question. He was a
ticed what he preached-teetotalism.
In his younger days Mr.. Riley was an
expert surveyor and did a great deal of
work in that line. In his latter days he
gave up the business, but was frequently
called upon by his friends to settle or
arbitrate any question relative to lines or
boundaries of.land. He was a practical,
progressive farmer, and his efforts were
rewarded with success. lie was an in
dulgent father. and gave all his children
a good start in life. lie was n years Of
age, and lived on his farm, six miles west
| of the city, until a few years ago when he
moved into the city.
On Saturday afternoon his remains
were carried to Prospect Church, where
they were inferred, the funeral services
being conducted by Rev. II. B. FAINT and
| Rev. y. Hays. From the land of the
dying he has entered into life eternal, to
rest with the Saviour, whom he delighted
to serve. His devoted wife and children
should feel that their loss is his eternal
gain.
