GROWERS WAREHOUSE
WILL ENLARGE HOUSE
DURING THE FALL
Option Taken Friday on Last Piece Of
Property In Square-Building to
Be Extended East TO Water
Works Plant Doubling
Capacity.

A deal of considerable Importance
which will mean the doubling of the
floor space Of the Growers Tobacco
Warehouse for the next looseleaf sea-
son, was closed late Friday evening
when the officers of the Growers To-
bacco Warehouse Company procured
an option on the Henry Farwick prop
erty just East of the company's pres
ent warehouse.
Prior to this time the company had
become the owners of the two pieces
Of property adjoining the Farwick
property on the East. The option on
the Farwick property is to be exer-
cised before September 18th and be-
fore that time the company will exer-
else their option and purchase the
property thus making them the owners
of all the property between the Ohio
river and Morrison alley from Poplar
to Lexington streets.
1t is the purpose of the company to
pC5ih duout thS lOtu vi oOptCuiDCi W
raze the three residences on the prop
erty just East of them and build there
on continuation of their present
building which will make their build
ing just twice the size as at present
The company proposes to have this
addition completed in time for the
opening of the 1890 tobacco season
and this popular warehouse expects to
be able in the future to care for the
large patronage their ability to get
good prices for tobacco has brought
them. For many seasons the Growers
Warehouse has been compelled to turn
away tobacco but in the future with
their floor space doubled they should
be able to handle all tobacco that Is
brought to them promptly.

PRACTICALLY NO
INTEREST IS SHOWN
IN PRIMARY HERE
Light Vote Being Cast and Interest Is
So Low That Even Election Of
ficers Are ShOrt-Little
Rivalry Is Shown.

Primary Election day is here and is
passing away with practically no in
terest shown in the election either by
Democrats or Republicans. The acute
water situation in Maysville is the
matter of paramount interest to every
one in the city and persons are not
showing enough interest in the cleo
tion to even go to the polls and vote.
No rivalry is being shown about the
polls at all except in the Representa-
tive race and the candidates for the
Democratic nomination have been
making the rounds of the precincts
shaking hands with the few voters
found there and explaining their posi-
tion on various subjects, generally the
suffrage subject.
Interest is so low throughout the
county that in some places there were
not enough election officers to fill the
slate even up to the noon hour.
Between discussions of the water
situation, persons in the city are heard
to express their views on the Gov
ernor's race but this is not near SO
warm as it might have been had not
this catastrophe befallen the city at
this time. 1t would be folly for one
to attempt to predict the results in any
race for with conditions as they are

CONGRESS TO TAKE

RECESS POSTPONED
Five Weeks Recess Called on While
Congress VIII Go Into Food and
Wages Over Nation.

Washington, August 2-Congress
has been hauled up short by unrest
throughout the country over the high
cost of living.
The Houses five weeks of recess has
been called off, and the League of Ma
tions fight in the Senate may be af-
fected before long Senators said to-
day.
Leaders of both houses were con-
cerned today with devising some plan
whereby the insistent demand from
the whole country for an adjustment
of wages to the cost Of living may be
worked out.
1--WE must have assurances to the
workers." said Senator A. B. Cummins
today, that an equitable relation will
be established between the cost of liv-
ing and wages. Unless we do, the
country Is going to smash.
81 believe the time has come when
the government must fix wages of
railroad workers, whether it retains
control of the lines or not. But the
government should have the power to
raise wages to meet the living cost, or
bring the living cost down to the wage
level"

MOST SERIOUS CONDITION CITY
HAS EVER KNOWN CONFRONTS
1T TODAY WITH NO WATER
FOR FIRE PROTECTION


Maysville has today been face to
face with the most serious situation
thu city has known in years In that
there is no city water available and
NO ice being distributed to the public.
Shortly after the supper hour yes
tel day when the one pump which was
working at the pumping station broke
down, the reservoir ran dry and the
CITY was out of water either for fire
protection or for use in the homes.
The situation was so serious last night
that Mayor Russell called a special
meeting of City Council after ten
O'Clock and placed the situation d.
rectly before them. The Mayor recon-
mended the taking over by the city of
the Water Works but no action was
taken on this matter. A committee OF
one councilman from each ward, how
ever, was chosen to wait on the Water
Company and offer the city's assist
ance which was politely refused, the
employees saying that they were doing
all that could be done to put water in
the reservoirs.
Late last night the large pump was
again started but it gave way and for
several hours this morning no water
was pumped. At three o'clock Satur-
day afternoon the bank pump was
working and the reservoir had been
cut in half so as to fill one side and
give pressure at the earliest possible
moment but 1t will likely take, many
hours before there will be water in
the mains. In the meantime people
are using cisterns and wells. The Ohio
Valley Pulley Works has offered wat
er from their large well, which has
been tested and found pure, to all who
will call at the plant for the water.
MIR. r. A Carr, Of the Magnolia Flour
Mills has done likewise and there
should be no suffering for lack of
water.
Because Of the failure Of the water
supply, however, the Ice Factory has
been compelled to suspend operations
and no ice was delivered Saturday In
the city. This will cause much suf-
fering among the babies of the city, NO
doubt, but the Health League is en-
deavoring to relieve this situation by
offering to keep all babies milk on
ice at their office in Court street free

LEWIS COUNTY man SHOT
BY NEIGHB0R LATE FRIDAY
Mr.. Obe Rigdon Shot in the Head by
Albert Britts Near the Latter's
Home In Lewis County Fol.
lowing a Quarrel.

Obe Rigdon, well known farmer of
the Bowman Springs neighborhood in
Lewis county, was shot and painfully
although not fatally injured late Fri
day evening during a quarrel on Rig
don's farm by Albert Britts, neigh
Dor.
The men were in an argument over
falm affairs when Mr.. Britts secured a
shot gun and fired at Rigdon. The
charge took effect in the head but the
shots scattered so that the wounds are
not considered very serious by the
physician who dressed the wound Fri
day night. The gun used was evident
ly bird gun as it scattered and al
though Britts was close to Rigdon
when the shot was fired the shots did
not strike his head fairly but some
fifty or sixty shot lodged in his fore
head and the top of his head.
Rigdon, who is quite we'll known in
Maysville and is prominent farmer
was reported getting along nicely Sat
urday morning.

of charge, having been allotted small
quantity Of ice for this purpose by the
Maysville Ice Company.
The situation Is most serious when
1t is thought that the city has no pro-
lection from fire except the chemical
engines on the fire fighting machines
which would be Of practically no use
in a big fire. Persons should guard
very carefully against fire at all times.
Saturday afternoon Mayor T. M.
Russell and Chairman Allan Dodson,
of the Ways and Means Committee of
Council, called on the Bates-Rogers
Construction Company asking their
assistance. 1t was thought that pump
boats might be procured from them to
force water into the reservoirs but
they had no such boats which could
be used. They offered their engineers.
however, and these experts will visit
the Water Works this afternoon.
The old and worn-out machinery at
the Water pumping station Is breaking
almost as quickly as repairs are made
and 1t does net seem likely that the
city will have water in the pipes in
many hours even though there are no
serious accidents.
The cutting off of the ice supply has
practically put the drink and ice
cream parlors out of business and the
cutting off of the water and ice sup
ply has greatly affected many local
plants.
II water Is not in the pipes tomor-
row morning, Mr.. 8. P. Browning, says
the Ohio Valley Pulley Works will
operate their. pump all day for the
benefit of the public.
The situation is being closely stud
led by city officials and some under
standing in regard to the future will
likely be had when officials Of the
company meet here Sunday. Every
one is doing everything possible to re-
lieve the immediate situation and it Is
hoped that 1t will be relieved some
time Sunday.

CHLORINATE OLD
CISTERN WATER

Any one contemplating the use Of a

for any considerable time may render
the water safe against disease germs
by adding chloride of lime. The
amount to be used is approximately
one-half an ounce Of chloride Of lime
to every 1000 gallons of water to be
treated. This lime should be dissolved
in a bucket Of water and poured into
