WATER WORKS AND SEWER.
Report of the Expert Engineer, MT
 Abs-Hagen, Last Night.

A meeting of the city council was held last night to receive the report of Ernest Abs-Hagen, the engineer, upon the plans and specifications for a water works and sewer system. The council met at the chamber and then went to the Hotel Adams, where MT. Abs-Hagen submitted partial report. His estimate ot a water works system, which, however, would extend through the principal streets, was $15Gs 900; the estimate of a sewer system was $119.- GOO. His figures for complete water works and sewer system with ca pacity rendered sufficient for a city of 10000 by an extension of the mains are $319,000.
 This system involves a 16-inch main and tank 150 feet high of a capacity to keep six fire streams playing for five hours without pumping and of sufficient force to throw stream 1Oc feet high. It also provides for 100 fire-plugs. It is proposed to raise the water from point one mile northeast of the city and to place the outlet of the sewer three miles southwest.

 The expenses of the customs have been cut from s40,0O0 per annum to $2S,000, and that in time can be ma- terially reduced. These collections are all made under the minimum tar if, including large reduction in ton- mage.

GERONIMO AT OMAHA.
Arizona Furnishes an Attraction for
 the Exposition.

Editor Rosewater of the Omaha Bee, one of the managers Of the Trans-Mis- sissippi exposition, is in the city, says the Washington Star. He came to see the president, and obtain, if possible, a promise from him to visit the expo sition. The president gave him en- couragement, and it is expected the presidential visit will be made during the early part of October. MT. Rose water presented the president with a handsome oil painting of the grand court at the exposition, painted by John R. Key, grandson of Francis Scott Key of 'Star-Spangled Banner fame.
 MT: Rcsewater went to the war de- partment yesterday for permission of the government to take the fierce old warrior Geronimo and his band to par ticipate in the Indian congress, which will be the fall feature of the eXposi- tion. The officials were surprised to learn that the war department had any Indian prisoners. Permission, however, was granted, and the fierce old warrior who successfully eluded the govern ment for so long will soon be on ex- hibition.
 
 was on paying basis. The war had detracted immensely from it's success, but now that peace was assured, he thought the remaining months would be highly successful. MT. Rosewater spoke in glowing terms of the expOsi- ton. It was in many respects, he said, grander than the worlds fa1r The architecture of the buildings was su- perb, and the government building far surpasses in design the one at Chicago. The exhibit from the government was a very entertaining one. Among other things, they had the first Spanish flag captured during the war. He had made arrangements also with the war department to transfer many relicts of the war to the exposition, and these would be immediately placed on exhi- bition. He was endeavoring to get the big war galloon used before Santiago and, if successful, it would be anchor ed in the grounds.
 Postmaster General Smith will be present at the exposition October to deliver the oration on Pennsylvania day.

MOrmOniSm.

Two elders of the Mormon church.
Thomas 2. Thompson, of Ephraim,
and Orson Bills, of South Jordan,
Utah, arrived in our city last week,
and purpose doing an evangelistic
work here in the interest of their pc
culiar practices. In an interview
with the reporter of an evening paper
they claim that they neither practice
nor uphold the doctrine of polygamy,
but it is we'll established fact that
the foundation stone of Mormonism is
polygamy, and when that .is elimi-
mated the entire superstructure falls.
While It is true that the practice of
plural wives was apparently aban-
doned, it was only for the purpose Of
securing the admission of Utah into
the sisterhood of states, and that ac-
complished, the practice was very
quickly revived. These elders will
find vo~y little encouragement in our
city. The spread of Mormonism is
not to De desired in any sense of the
word. 1t is pernicious in every way,
and tends to the destruction of the
sanctity Of home life. Our people
are of a very religious and conserva
tive character, and do not take kindly
to any of the miserable isms floating
around the country.

Death of Edward Carey.

Edward Carey died in Chicago
last Saturday, after an illness extend
ing over a period of two years. Mr..
Carey was raised in the town of Cly-
man, and some eighteen years since
came to this city and engaged in the
grocery trade at the corner of Main
and Third streets. Retiring from trade
after year or two he accepted re-
sponsible position with the express
company in Milwaukee, where he re-
mained until his removal to Chicago.
Mr.. Carey was brother of those
well-known and extensive farmers of
Clyman, William and Michael Carey,
and Mrs Mary Moran. He is survived
by his widow, formerly Julia Branni-
gan. The remains were inferred from
Holy Assumption church Tuesday af-
ternoon in the Clyman cemetery.

On Saturday last H. j. Hoffman,
severed his connection with The RE
PUBLICAN as fOreman-a position he
had filled for more than ten years-in
order to devote his time to his new
business, the Commercial Printing
company, in which he is a partner
with Emil Knoll. During all these
years he was a faithful, efficient and
trusted employee and it is with regret
that we part with him. In his stead
we have engaged Charles Lynch, an
old-time printer, whose wide news
paper experience was gained as fore
man of some OF the leading metropol-
iton publications, notably The Chi
cago Tribune and The Cincinnati
Enquirer. Mr.. Lynch's efforts will be
divided among different departments
of the Office, and with his assistance
we hope to materially improve our
publication. At least such will be
our earnest endeavor. In our iob de-
partment we guarantee the same ex-
cellent workmanship and prompt SER
vice as heretofore, and we solicit a
continuance of the liberal patronage
that has been accorded, assuring our
friends that all such favOrs will be
most gratefully appreciated.

Partial Destruction BY Fire .

Friday morning last about O'Clock
the old frame building at the north
east corner of West Main and Monroe
streets was discovered to be on fire.
The west end of the building, in
cluding a bowling alley extending
about forty feet north, was badly dam
aged. Mr. Schenk was the occupant
of the premises, using a portion of
the west end for a grocery store His
loss on stock is about $3.50. No light
has been shed on the origin of the
fire, although one story is that it was
the work of a couple Of tramps who
were refused aid and determined to
get even. Probably spontaneous COM
bustiOn was the real cause. The
building is owned by Charles F. Krebs,
of Jefferson. 1t is rather an old land
mark, and was nearly fifty years ago
occupied by 7. j. Jones & Co. as a
general store, and was located where
the Wisconsin National bank building
now stands. Frank O'Rourke pur-
chased it and had it removed to it's
present location, adding to and other
wise improving it. The place has
been in a state of innocuous desuetude
for many years, and it is to be hoped
the owner of the property will en-
bellish the corner with a new and
suitable improvement. 1t is valuable
corner, and should pay it's owner a
good income.
