This asylum continues Col. Bddle, "is

ROCKVILLE, Nd, August 23, 1902.
The democratic congressional primaries
were held throughout this county from
o'clock until this afternoon, very light
vote being polled. There was but one name
on the ticket, that of Mr.. Bowie r. Waters,
consequently he was unanimously indorsed
for the nomination to oppose Col. Pearre.
Mr.. Waters will name the county's delega-
ton to the Cumberland convention.
Mr.. Waters is one Of the younger mem
bers of the Rockville bar, being about thir-
ty-two years Of age. He is an Industrious
worker, and states that If he is honored
with the nomination he will conduct a
vigorous campaign He is a son Of MI
Horace Waters, prominent farmer OF this
county.
A public meeting of the taxpayers Of
Rockville was held In the Opera House last
evening to consider matters pertaining TO
the welfare of the town. The meeting was
held at the instance of the mayor and town
council Mr.. George H. Lamar served as
chairman and Mr.. Philip ID. Laird as secre-
tary.
The principal question discussed was the
waterworks. 1t was pointed out that the
pumping apparatus now in use Is in some
what dilapidated condition and will soon
have to be replaced with new machinery,
and that the artesian well recently sunk
will have to be provided with pump and
other necessary machinery. 1t was also
shown that there is no money ip the town
treasury to meet these expenses.
The matter was thoroughly discussed and
the meeting finally agreed to direct the
mayor and town council TO borrow q sum
sufficient to purchase new pumping machin-
cry for both wells. a number Of the citi-
zens Of the town agreeing to indorse the
notes The next legislature will be asked
to authorize the town to issue bonds for
the purpose OF paying these notes.
1t Is understood that the council will pro-
ceed at once to make these improvements
and when the new machinery is installed
the waterworks will be In first-class condi-
tion in every particular. and the town will
be supplied with an ample quantity Of abso-
lutely pure water.

Briggs. a well-known farmer, died about @

tion of their decision not to pay the bills
for repairs to boilers in houses owned by
Mrs MCGOWAN on N street, GEORGETOWN,
the damage having been done, it was all

proved, that the attorney be informed there

VOLUNTARILY CONCEDED.
Master Painters Agree to Pay So Per
Day of Eight Hours.

After September l the wages of the iou,-
neyInen painters of Washington Will be S.
per day Of eight hours. An Interesting
history is connected. it is said, with the
81 and eight hours in the painting trade
Of the city. In May of 1856 81 was estap-
lshed as the wages for a days work of
nine hours. Shortly after the eight-hour
agitation began and the Painters Union,
then connected with the knights Of Lanor
demaEded in September of 1880 an eight
hour day at the same rate Of wages. The
demand was refused by the Master Paint
ers and Decorators Association and a
struggle ensued that perhaps has not been
equaled in the building trades of Washing
ton- 1t resulted, il is stated, in the entire
dtsintegration of the union
The Master Painters Association then
established the wages at $50 for the eight
hours day, and that has been the wa1eS
and hours ever since.
Last fail the situation became compli-
Gated by the formation of a painters' uniD I
affiliated with the American Federation of
Labor, the members of which. II Is SAID
would not work with Knights of Labor
men nor would Knights OF Labor men WORK
Win them Such a condition of affairs
was regarded as cause of considera bic
trouble 20 the employer. and the Master
Painters Association. il is said stepped in
and formed a contract with the union con
neCted with the Federation of Labor The
contract stipulated hat preference would
be given men belonging TO that union win
wages at s.. 81 per day Of eight hours. That
action seemed 10 settle the difficulty. neal ~
all the jOurne ymCn connecting themselves
with that union.
During the spring the members of the
Master Painters Association, realizing the
increased cost of living. proposed an
amendment TO the contract making the
wages So per day of eight hours Thus
ends movement begun sixteen years ago
for $3 and eight hours by a voluntary
movement on the part of the employers
The contract provides for a board Of arhi-
trdtiOn. consisting of three representatives
from the Master Painters Association and
three from the uriOn. and that feature Us
well as some other minor provisions, has
worked SO well IT,, the present condition

that strikes. lockouts or other misunder-

where the father is defective and one where
both mother and father are detectives and
they have families of boys and girls who
will not be capable OF making a living for
