A Dastardly outrage

A Dastardly Outrage
The recent outrage in the killing Of
Blake's sheep and destruction of his
property merits the severest condem-
nation of all fair minded citizens. and
the wish that the perpetrators may be
brought to speedy justice. Mr.. Blake
having leased the land had a prior
right over the cattle men, to whom, 1t
is reported, the outrage was attributed.
Mr.. Blake's having crossed the dead
line between the cattle and sheep in
terests does not p~alliate the deed. If
such outrages were OF frequent occur
renee, even homesteaders' lives will
not be safe. The range on the reser-
walton belongs to the homesteaders.

of the ability and work those

their connection with national banks.

Chicago, June 1.-THE committee

Senator. Henry G. Lodge of Maaspebu
sets for permanent chairman. The
speaker took the chair and delivered
speech. He began by saying:
Gentlemen of the Convention:
/ thank you most sincerely for the
great honor you have done me in
choosing me to preside over your de-
alterations. For it is a great honor to
be the presiding officer of republi-
can national convention l can con-
ceiVe of conventions have indeed
heard of conventions where the honor
of such post as that now occupied
by me is dubious, and where, if ex-
element is present, pleasure is con-
spicuous in it's absence. But to be the
presiding officer of republican con-
vention is ever high distinction to
which no man can be insensible Gen
tlemen Of the convention, again ]
thank you.
l shall not delay or detain you with
many words. Your resolutions will
set forth the principles" of the party
and declare the policies upon which
we shall ask for the support of the
people of the United States. With
fullness and with eloquence, your tenn
porary chairman has already reviewed
the history of the party, has given
you account of what has been done,
and has set forth what we hope and
mean to do. My duty is merely to
aid you, so far as l can, in the orderly
and prompt transaction of the bust
ness which has brought us together.
That business is Notwithstanding
less than to name here the two men
who speaking with the simplicity of
truth, will be the next president and
vice president of the United States.
In order to win for them, and for our
party, an assured as well as merited
victory, we must defeat our oppo-
nents, whose exclusion from power is
desired by the country and deserved
by them.
Following these Introductory re-
marks the speaker launched into an
extensive review of the history and
accomplishments of his party.

engaged in rebuilding the dam and

of water purer and better than ever
before OF course it is going to be
some time before the reservoir is
filled again, and the water for the
balance of this year, at least, will be
somewhat unsettled, but it is going
to be reasonably good water, just the
same.
At present water is being syphoned
from a lake or reservoir over in the
woods, beyond the old water works
lake, and this water is considered
much better than the water in the
lower dam, and is not contaminated
by the inflow from any source that
might contain communicating or i'm
pure substances. The late heavy
rains made this water muddy. but it
is gradually settling, and is reason
ably good for all but drinking pur-
poses 1t is advised that this water be
boiled before drinking, to safeguard
against possible sickness.
The gentlemen at the head of this
concern should have the gratitude
and thanks of the entire people for
the heroic efforts they are making to
restore the plant to its original eff
cheney, for people never worked hard
er at a task than they are working.
At present the company has stored
plenty of water for all reasonable de-
mands, and long before there is dan
ger of water famine it is expected
the new plant will be in commission,
with sufficient supply of water for
all purposes. !,
