What 1T Means For the City to
Own It's Own Water Works.
OF the several ''counts', so to
speak, in the coming municipal
election on the issuance of bonds
for public works and improves
ments, the one Of paramount
importance, to our mind. is
the vote for the city ownership
of the water works. This great
system of pipes throughout all
the streets Of the city and leading
into the homes Of our citizens, are
as the arteries of life TO the body
corporate, of daily demand and a
vital necessity, and yet this water
cannot be bad for public purposes
without enormous expense to the
tax payers as a whole, and rot at
all for the emergencies Of heated
and dusty streets, unless paid for
as private consumers pay for wa>
ter. And the cost to private con-
sumers is greatly more than is
charged in towns, such as Wilson,
owning their own water works.
AS we haYe before published,
the rental the city pays for wa
ter-only to be used in case Of
fire, and for sewer flushing, and
four drinking fountains, ap-
prcaches the round sum Of 81
600 a year. This is 8 per cent on
$50, 600, the sum proposed to be
voted for water works in the
coming city bond election. But
these bonds can be foated easily
at 4 per cent, a saving Of So, 600
a year to the tax payers, not to
calculate the revenue to be de-
rived to the city by the already
great and assuredly increased
consumption Of water by private
citizens. Is 1t not worth willis
fer the general tax paying public
of GOldsb0ro to consider thiI
certain saving alone of So, OO(
agar, and vote for the waite:
works bonds?
Then there. is the general i'm
petus along all lines Ct lndustria
development TO BE- considered
which is always sure 20 follow il
Me wake OF municipal owner

open up new avenues for efor
and inviting folds for the invest
ment CT capital, that will re
dound to the common progress
and abiding prosperity Of al
classes Of our citizens.
There are many other reasons
why the city should own its OWL
water works--and nc good reasol
tozthe contrary, but we adYanc
the above at this time to shoy
the actual saying in cash to til
tax payers, based On present con
ditions.

In the $4,000 damage suit of Ham
an Fluharty of Marion county. against
DR.. r. NJ. Rau, for alleged malpractice,
the plaintiff rested about noon after
having introduced number of wit
nesses to show the condition of plain
tiff with reference to capacity for work
prior to Dewey Day, and since that
time.
In the afternoon the defense examin-
ed several witnesses, and it is under
stood that number of experts will
be called upon to testify, with a view
to demonstrating that Fluharty's COM
plete recovery from fracture of the
limbs was a matter of grave doubt on
account of his advanced age. 1t is un-
derstood that material facts sworn to
by the plaintiffs witnesses, will also
be disputed. At least another day

mony.

JOINT DISCUSSION
BY CARRIE AND ANNIE

A wag Suggests Thai the Saloon
smashers Meet on the Platform in
This City.
Inasmuch as there appears to be no
longer any doubt that Carrie Nation
viii be in Wheeling next Sunday, a
man suggests that joint discussion
on the issues of the day between the
two great saloon smashers, Carrie Ma
ton of Kansas, and Gentle Annie Cos
tello, of the United States, might prove
a strong drawing card. Annie is not
in Wheeling at present, and her where
abouts are unknown but she Is as GER
tain to come back as the cat in the
song
There will probably be no hatchota
ton in connection with Carrie Nation 6
visit. The appeals at present to con-
fine herself to lectures, thereby raising
money, possibly to buy new smashing
outfits certain to accomplish theiI
work. 1t is announced that she will
lecture on the fair grounds.

THE STATE BOARD OF
PARDONS IN SESSION

Yesterday at MOundsviIie. and Two
Cases Were Considered-Neithe
recommends for Executive Glenn
ency.
The State Board of Pardons was in
regular session at Moundsville yester-
day and transacted considerable
amount of business. The first case
considered was that of VIM. Taylor
convicted OF murder in the first degree
by the Circuit Court of Fayette county
and sentenced July "a, 1897, to confine-
ment in the penitentiary for life. 1t
appears that Taylor was indicted for
the murder of a man by the name of
Thomas, and when the case came up
for trial, the prisoner being a poor
man, was not represented by counsel
The court appointed an attorney, but
he became frightened for fear verdict
of murder in the first degree without
recommendations would be returned by
re jury and he left the prisoner prac-
tically undefended. Voluminous papers
have been filed asking for Taylor's par
don and set forth many reasons in
favor of aim. Taylor does not deny
the crime but claims the blood was
shed in self-defense. This statement,
when analysed, however, is found to
be defective, as there was feud ex-
listing between him and Thomas. In
view of all circumstances in the case
the board was not prepared to recon-
mend the pardon of Taylor, and the
Governor is advised for the present not
to pardon the said Taylor
Thomas Sanders.
The next case taken up was that of
Thomas Sanders. Sanders was con-
victed of arson in the Circuit Court of
Wayne county in September, 1899, and
sentenced to four years Imprisonment.
Thomas Sanders, John Sanders and
James Parsons were jointly indicted
upon the charge. Thomas Sanders was
first tried and convicted as just shown.
James Parsons was next tried, but was
acquitted because the indictment laid
the building burned to the wrong per-
son. John Sanders was afterwards
tried and found not guilty upon sub
stantially the same evidence upon
which Thomas Sanders was convicted,
end some additional evidence. the ex-
istence of which appears to have been
unknown at the time Thomas Sanders
was tried Sanders was convicted on
circumstantial evidence. His pardon
is recommended by Judge E. S. Doc
little, who presided at the trial, Mr.
p. H. Napier, prosecuting attorney at
the time, and nine of the jurors before
wnom he was tried. 1t is also recon-
mended by two hundred and forty six
citizens of Wayne county. 1t appears
in the case, that a petition signed by
tu,o of tho oil iurorS has bppn lost
and that the other juror has left the
country.
In view of all facts and circum-
stances of the case, the fact that the
Judge and majority Of the jurymen
and large number of citizens recon-
mend his pardon. that the prosecuting

The Sipe shows. which will exhibit
here at the base ball park this after
noon and evening, are this season in
PRODUCING an extreme novelty in the
line of educated animals. Among one
of the principal features introduced FOR
the first time this season is Y Snet-
lands together at one time and one
place. One of the many features to be
seen with the Sipe shows is the mass
ing of 70 ponies in one arena. At a
signal the intelligent little ponies. each
in charge of grooms, are brought into
the open space by the ring. Each ami
nal is costly adorned with thousands
of handsome, glitterings nodding
plumes and elegant brides on their
heads. At another signal the grooms
release the animals, whereupon they
dash into the enclosure and with
CELEBRITY and grace assume their re-
spective positions. Some are posed on
the ground, others on pedestais, others
again on raised platforms to the sum-
nit, where stands on the lofty pin
nacle OF this magnificent pyramid the
famous Shetland "Rosco," upon whose
back sits the lilliputian trainer, dogs,
monkeys, and little animals of all de-
scriptions are educated, handled and

las WATER WORKS.,
System In Yellowstone Naticna; Park
is Completed.

Among other improvements com
pleted in the Yellowstone park this
season is a system of water works by
which the fort is supplied as also the
hotel at the Mammoth Hot springs.
The source is a stream which has it's
origin on Electric peak and the water
is conducted by a 12-inch pipe for
a distance of over a mile where it
discharges into a basin so feet in
diameter. From this basin two lines
of pipe are laid, each six inches. one
of which leads to the post and sup
plies all the buildings, while the other
leads to the hotel. Both places have
an abundant supply of water for all
domestic purposes and also for wet
ting the ground and allaying the
clouds of sitting dust which erst-
while made life a burden when the
wind was blowing.
1t is the intention to use the surplus
water that finds it's way to the fort
in irrigating a patch of ground for
the production of grass to relieve
the tedium of the white waste of soda
and other minerals which cover the
gorund thereabouts.
