WATER WORKS
ASSURED.
Council Accepts Proposition to
Establish Plant.
Committee Appointed to Purchase
Fire Plugs.

Committee Appointed to Purchase
Fire Plugs.
At the meeting of the board of mayor
and aldermen last Tuesday night. Mayor
Miller, upon. motion of Alderman Gard
ner, appointed a committee of three 10
draw up contract with the Citizens
Ice, Coal and Electric Light Co, for the
purchase of 30 hydrants to cost $50 each,
As the purchase of such hydrants was
the only stipulation made by MIR. C. Z.
Wright in his proposition made at the
May meeting of the board, the action of
the. board in consenting to make this
concession makes the establishment of
the water works in the near future an
assured fact. -
Porter, of Louisville who will put in
the plant, was present at the meeting,
and the plans which he submitted met
with the entire approval of all present.
The main pipe will be 10 inches in di-
ameter, sufficiently large enough to sup
ply a city of 10, 900 inhabitants.
"A fairly large attendance of the rep
resentative business men of Greenwood
were present at the meeting, and the
discussion of the project was general.
Remarks favoring the plan We're made
by Messrs. J. s. Mcdonald, Jas. X. Var
daman and other residents of the com
munity, who doubtless echoed the en-
timents of all who have an eye to
Greenwood's welfare and prosperity.
The main point brought forward was
the fact that the introduction of by
drants and fire protection will result in
a material reduction Of insurance rates,
and in support of this Mr. Sanders cited
a number of towns where the tariff was
reduced, viz; Water Valley, e5 per
cent; Oxford, % per cent; Grenada, 80
per cent; Greenville, 30 1.3 per cent;
Canton, rs per cent.
MI. Wright intends to commence op,
erations on theNAew plant at as early
a date as possible, He will erect a fine
fountain for the watering Of horsesv a
convenient location. The benefit to
Greenwood of the establishment OF a
water works can not be overestimated,
especially when the fact is taken into
consideration that it is but a step toward
sewers and other sanitary improve
ments

Baptist Protractcd Meeting Accusing
~ - :" Interest.

- Interest.
Great interest is being manifested in
the protracted meeting being held in the
Baptist church, and the services are in
variably attended by large and repre-
sentative congregations. Rev, G. B.
Butler, who is conducting the meeting,
is becoming exceedingly popular, and
this popularity is deserved, as he is a
conscientious, consecrated young man,
a forceful preacher and an energetic
worker. He is, ably assisted by Rev. w.
Z. Ellis, who is interchangeable in his eff
forts to make the meetings successful.
The musical part of the service is of a
most excellent nature, the Baptist choir
being augmented by members of the
cl1oirs Of other churches.
The, meetings will likely continue &c
days or two weeks longer.

not hold services in their respective

seled the congregations to attend the

Of our little city:
There seems to be a fair prospect

give her I rank with the best cities
Of the state. For the past several
years she has been enjoying a steady
and substantial growth and already
ranks with her larger sister towns OF

to add renewed life To her rapid

The Woman's Club.

THE representative body Of WiscoD-
gin women assembled in the federation

done much to overcome the popular
prejudice against such institutions
The idea that the woman's club was
only another ontgrowth Of a fad and
would result, like all others, in the neg
1Scs Of home duties, has been thrust
INTO the background. Sympathy has
taken the place of hoctility.
In her address Wednesday President
Morris stated the purpose of the club

RACINE DEFEATED.
Kenosha and Racine Candidates Badly
Cut Throughout the State.

Cut Throughout the State.
The result of the election of the
Wisconsin division, L. A. W., with the
number of votes received by each OF
the successful candidates, is as follows;
Chief Consul-Martin G.. Rotier,
Milwaukee, 889.
Vice Consult. Van Arsdale, Ra-
cine, $50.
Secretary Treasurer Samuel j. Ry-
an, Appleton, 1888.
Representatives Henry P. Andrae,
Milwaukee, 984; Fred j. Schroeder,
Milwaukee, 814; 81. E. Pomeroy, APP
pleton, 730; George A. Yule, Kenosha
638; William Hartman, Green Bay,
ga; N. E. Lindquist, Marinette, 63S
Ben Hooper, Oshkosh, 649; George K
Mead, Sheboygan, GAG; DR.. L. F. Hail.
Ripon, $40; F. L. Snyder, Superior,
612; Ben Park, Madison, 635; Louis
Pierron, Milwaukee, 597.
The result is a decided victory for the
league members throughout the state,
except those in Racine. 1t shows that
the proposition of the Racine members
to change the constitution of the divis-
ion so that admission can be charged
league members at state meets, is de-
cidedly unpopular. The election has
resulted in every Racine candidate fol-
representative being showed under
and that city now has not the slightest
chance to secure the next state meet
as it would have done had its candi-
dates been elected.
The vote in the state varied, with
the exception that everywhere the
names of the Racine and Kenosha can
didates, with single exception, were
freely cut. The exception is George
A. Yule, of Kenosha, who was elected
"a representative. Mr.. Yule is popular
throughout the state and never ex-
pressed himself as favoring the change
in constitution and that assured his
election.
The result on vice-c consul was as it
had been expecthd for some time. Ben
Park, of Madison. has during the cleo
ton made no effort to get the Office and
only PEELED 49, votes. FL. Van Arsdale
secured the election over him and will
be the only Racine man on the board of
officers. ~ ~-...a

The forthcoming message from
President Mckinley is looked forward
to with considerable interest. The
business piled up awaiting the atten-
ton of the next congress comprises a
varied assortment. The foreign
budget in itself is large AND involves
many and important articles. With
suffering Cuba supplicant for our
mercy, Hawaii anxiously knocking at
our door for admission, and Japan,
Spain, Canada and England looming
up with a pet grievance, it would seem
that the hands of our legislators will
be full enoxgh. But in the. midst OF
the confusion the hydea- headed none.
tary question hobs up for recognition,
This comprehensive subject, with its
various rami6cations, is alone sufficient
to furnish material for warm session,
but with the augmentation furnished
by the numerous financlers and their
solutions, the affair assumes stupen
dous proportions and bids fair to prove
a stumbling block. Pres. McKinley's
ideas on this question are clear cut and
strong, but it is very probable that
the contending opinions will, as they
have invariably done in similar cases,
hamper the progress of the sound
money schemes to be proposed by the
president.
