water consumers. The additional in
come, now that the city has its plant,
will be largely profit. AT present the
system includes about thirty-two
miles of mains.
From Nov. /. 1907, to Jan. /, 1909,
a total of 1876, 200. 1877 gallons of water
were pumped. The total cost to the
city of furnishing water per 1000 gal
ions for 1908 was .0445.
Water is procured from monster
wells sunk in a huge basin which
lies north of the city. The water is
OF the purest quality. Additional
pressure in the mains is furnished by
a high tower, surmounted by a tank,
situated on a hill in the northern part
of town. The pressure is ample to
enable the fire department to throw
streams of water to the tops of the
highest buildings.

renee county received a temporary
setback in the test case in the circuit
court at Deadwood when the county
commissioners asked Judge Rice to
permit them to expend some $1,000

hoped to secure the money had been
repealed, and that only the expendi-
ture named by law could be made for
the purpose. This is inadequate to
carry out the plans of the committee
which is now seeking another means

TUESDAYS GAME.

The champions from the city Of
Frankfort arrived Tuesday morning
confident of taking the two games
scheduled in this city but was most
beautifully ''nipped in the bud' in the
first game by the errorless game play
ed by the home team. The game was
not won by fiuke as was stated in a
Lexington paper, Wednesday morning,
but by the superior playing of the
Paris aggregation.
The champs had their star tWirler in
the box and he held the Bourbonites
to five hits, while the home team put
in Digger, who proved to be brighter
star than "Rasty" for he allowed his
opponents only four hits and struck out
fourteen men during the eleven in
nings played to settle the battle. 1t
was truly a pitchers battle, with Dug
ger the real star of the game. Digger
fully demonstrated that there is no
pitcher in the Blue Grass League that
is his superior. we do not except the
great and "onliest" Tony, of the
mighty (O Winchester HustIers.
There were about five hundred people
that witnessed the game and declared
it to be the best game Of ball ever
