wATERwORKs AND SEWERAGE.

Last week the ci6y authorities had
published in this paper captions for the
introduction of bills in the next Legis-
lature to call elections for the purpose
of voting a bonded indebtedness to
secure waterworks and sewerage for
city ownership, as we'll as for another
school building and electric lights.
We presume our city fathers have
made the proper Investigations as to
the actual cost of these public utilities,
and as to the amount of bonds neces-
sary to be issued. If they have we
would be glad to publish the figures for
the intelligent guidance of our people.
If they have not made an investigation
would it not be well for them to do so?
Some figures given US from reliable
source would make the bonded indebt-
edness quite large if we build for the
future as well as the present.
The present capacity of the water
works is about one million gallons per
day. This should be doubled for future
needs, if the city continues to grow.
The most available source for an ade-
quate supply of water for an additional
plant would be Big MONDAY creek
about eight miles from Marietta. A
preliminary survey made heretofore by
a competent civil engineer, shows that
the cost of piping alone from that point
to Marietta would be 1920 per mile,
making $105600. The building of dam,
buying land, incidentals, machinery,
with pumping capacity of 140 horse
power, to pump the water to height
of $50 feet, would make the cost SIZE, 600
to form connections with the present
waterworks plant.
The supply of coal to be transported
by wagons necessary to keep the pump
ing machinery going at Big MONDAY
would be very important item. unless
an electric current could be substituted.
A system of sewerage would cost at
least S25, 900; an electric light plant
$4,000, and school building $4,000.
Now if these figures are correct, and
they can be demonstrated, then we
have proposition before us of making
a bonded indebtedness of $229,0O0.
1t is well enough to know the amount
needed before we commence to build

TWO NOTABLE PREACHERS.

The Marietta Methodist church had
two notable preachers to occupy the
pulpit last Sunday.
Rev. Howard Crumley, agent of the
Orphans Home at Decatur, Ca,
preached at the morning hour to a
large congregation. HIS sermon was
earnest, full of zeal, impressive and
pathetic. At the conclusion he pre-
sented the claims of the Orphans Home
at Decatur, Ga, and he received the lib
eral contribution of over two hundred
and fifty dollars to this noble institu-
ton. Mr.. Crumley is doing a grand
work and represents cause that should
appeal to the heart and pocket of every
one.
At the night service Rev. Sam P.
Jones, the famous evangelist, of Car
tersville, preached. Mr.. and Mrs. Jones
were on visit to their daughter, Mrs.
W. r. Turner, and he was prevailed
upon to preach at the Methodist church
Sunday night.
The news had spread that Mr.. Jones
would preach, and the church was
packed, many standing up, and others
were turned away. unable to get en-
trance into the house.
After Rev. w. Z. Lovejoy had re-
ceived eleven persons into the church,
Mr.. Jones began preaching from the
text, 1--WE walk by faith and not by
sight" For one hour and half Mr..
Jones held that vast crowd with una
bated interest, bent on catchingievery
word he uttered. 1t is needless to say
that Mr.. Jones preached one of his
characteristic sermons, unique, pecu-
liar, sarcastic and pathetic. He hit the
prevailing follies, fads and sins of the
day, and said things in his owr peculiar
style.
The sermon was a very "sarching"
one, and will reach certain moraIldis-
eases that probably no other kind of
preaching will. Mr.. Jones is a man of
fearless speech and scorching denuncia-
ton, yet as tender in his pathos, SYM
pathy and love for lost humanity in it's
distress and wretchedness as thehuman
heart is capable of exercising, yet he
uses some phrases that would add to
his power if they were omitted, but
Mr.. Jones doesn't think SO and there
Jore he uses them.

JEW PRAISES WHITE
AND STARTS A RIOT.
lnJUdicious Utterances Cause Trouble in
Synagogue and Police Are
Called In.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 25.-The police
were called to quell a riot last night IN
NE Russian synagogue, Clinton and Judd
streets, where Adolph Kraus was adj
dressing a Jewish meeting. Several per-
sons received slight wounds and ten men
and women were arrested. Mr.. Kraus
was giving an account of his interview
with Mr. White, the Russian envoy at
portsmouth, at which he asked justice
for the Jews through Mr.. Whites good
offices.
I'VE may trust the word of Mr.. White
that he will do all in his power to ameli-
crate the sufferings Of the Jews" Mr..
Araus was saying, when suddenly Il
member of a Jewish society sprang to
his feet
DO you trust Russian politician?"
he shouted
Before Mr. Kraus had time to answer
there was a shout from several hundred
men and women in the audience.
Down with Witte," down with ty
ranny," came the shouts. While the
excitement was at it's height the doors
OF the synagogue were locked and some
one telephoned for the police. In few
minutes several patrol wagons filled with
officers were on hand. The leaders were
arrested and the meeting was dispersed
by officers with drawn clubs.

Wire Chicken-Catcher.

A chicken-catcher is needed on
many farms which can be made from
No. s wire. Five feet of wire will
be long enough. Bend a loop at one
end for handle, with a shepherds
crook at the other end, bending the
crook small enough, of course, to hook
around the leg Of chicken while it is
eating. If the hook is made the least
bit faring, but closed UP about a half
inch, it will hold the chicken securely
by the foot. This is the best way to
catch a chicken when wanted on short
notice. Many farmers train a dog to
catch chickens, but this causes a com
motion among the fowls and is one
way to make them wild. Uneasy,
frightened fowls are not thrifty, like
quiet, contented birds.

BRUTAL ASSAULT BY
"BLACK HAND" BURGLAR
NEW YORK GIkL IS CLUBBED INTO
INSENSIBILITY BY NEGRO
BRUTE.
Had Entered House Repeatedly and
Left Threa tening Letters
for Family.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Irene Gross
man, a girl of Is years, was found
dubbed into insensibility in the hallway
of her home, at $40 West Fourteenth
street, early today. The attack was the
elimination of a series of nightly entries
in the Grossman residence, which were
intended to enforce, by "black hand
methods, payments of money for lmmu-
nifty from attack. Beginning Friday
night a negro visited the house nightly,
appearing only to Miss Grossman and es-
Gaping when frightened by her screams.
Despite the lookout set for him by the
family, he succeeded today IN reaching
Miss Grossman before she had chance
to give warning.
The girls brother told the police that
his sister had started for an early morn
ing walk when she was attacked. lie
heard her scream and ran into the hall
way, where he found her unconscious,
but saw nothing of the man.
Immediately after the clubbing the po-
lice found two pictures in the Grossman
home with their faces turned to the wall
and notes demanding money written on
the backs. On the back of the photo
graph of Mrs. Grossman was written: =.
