CANT expenditures in connection with
the new Rockford water tower. AS

also to the cost Of the stone on the
tower which bears the names Of the
members of the Board OF Water Com
mi sSioners.
The sun-dial is said to have cost
$3.50 which does not include the cost
of the labor of setting the stones pur-
chased from William Davidson.
Regarding the tablet Oh the tower
which bears the names Of the Wa ar
Commissioners it is found that Will
liam Davidson was paid Sl4l for the
service of some mln for th!rty-siX
days, cutting and lcttcring"the stol,

The reIghborhood Of Marsh Ail-
ton has been visited several times
lately by burglars who have car
ried off numerous articles ot vaIue
besides money. The Impression
prevails that parties are implicated
in the thefts, who are well connect
cd and should not have to resort TO
theft to procure spending money.
They should remember that per-
sons that are caught and convicted
Of theft are whipped and stood IN
the pillory. Even # their positions
are such that the whlpplnss should
