Politics should cut but little figure in a city election. That is why a large number of republicans will vote for Capt. llerron who is a mighty solid man. In fact, there hasn't been one his equal at the head of a city ticket in Crawfordeville for some years.

The water works proposition to the council committee was to furnish water at the rate of 42j.£cent8 per thousand gallons by the use of the meter.

The case of Reed vs. Boyd venued from Fountain county, was opened in circuit court Tuesday. It is a peculiar case.

The suit was brought to recover extra compensation for taking care of the deceased for a number of years before his death.

That there are two sides to most every public question is proverbial. The question of water rentals in this city seems to be no exception. While the Water Company are desirous of maintaing the most friendly relations with the people of this city they were forced to admit to our council committee that nowhere in the State were privileges so abused by consumers as in Crawfordsville. These offenses consist of letting neighbors use waterfrom their hydrants, extravagant waste in sprinkling, etc. The company strongly advise the use of meters, not only ae a measure of economy to consumers, but also as the most fair and impartial plan for both partiee interested. Those who are u^ing meters in town eay their water coats them lesB than it did under the old rate.

Considerable etreet work is in progress over town.

John M. Schultz found tliat he could not Co. the party justice and the business of th-j investment bank, which demands his closest attention, at the samo time, so he was forced to decline the nomination for treasurer on the democratic city ticket.

Mr. Myers is not only one of the oldest and most reliable business men but he is also a property owner of con1*1 siderablu worth,and hie name adds sta-

GENERAL WALLACE'S QUEST.

Br Aocurate Surveys, he Vindicates bis Oondnct at Pittsbure Landine. Gen. Liew Wallace was interviewed by the Terre Haute Express on Monday with the following result:

General JLew Wallace was in Terre Haute

a few hours yesterday,

Indianapolis. The objects of General Wallace's trip was

Landing. "The route we took was terrible a perfect bog, and it wae with difficulty our heavy guns wero taken through at all. We marched into Pittsburg Landing at dusk. The charge has been made that I did not take the shortest route, but I intend to publish a chart from the engineer's repr./I showing that instead of marching six miles only, aa has been stated waB the distance should have marched, it wae nearly eighteen miles, and also that in doing so 1 took the shortest possible route. ihe general said his trip was an enjoyable one, as he was royally entertained, not only by the Union veterans but by the Confederates as well. Tho chart showing his position during the batth will be i-ued as soon as the engineer can complete hie report.

The Oounciltn-n's Visit to Chicago.

Council men Reynclds, Robinson and Myers returned home from Chicago Wednesday morning, whither they went to confer with the officials of the water and light company. They report the conference with Messere. Martindale and May as being a pleasant one. Howfiver, no assurance was given water consumers that the recent advance in ratos would not be strictly demanded. The company advises consumers to put in meters as a matter of economy. These meters would co6t the consumer 80, $8 and §10, according to size to start with, but the company claims it would be a saving to the consumer in the long run. Facts and figures were spread before our councilmen to show that the increase in rates was not in excess of those charged-other towns of like size in the State.

When Mr. Reynolds mentioned the probability of the city putting in water works of its own at a cost not to exceed $05,000, the company signified its wil-:l lingness to sell out its plant at a very reasonable figure at any time the city felt able to buy, Notwithstanding the fact that the plant is bonded for three times its value, the company guarantees to give a clear title to the property whenever the city wants it. A nd so the matter stands at the present writing: Whether consumers, whose rental has been so extravagant!} increased, will put in meters as a measure of economy remains to be seen.

A'Well Bestowed Pension.

On Monday, through her attorneys Stilwsll & Stilwell, Airs. Mary Harris, widow of Pete Harris, received a pension of $12 per month and back pay to the amount of 81.400 in clear cash. The pension is most worthily bestowed and she feels very grateful to the democratic administration that granted her claim, By strict frugality and self denial Mrs, Harris was able to hold on to Her littlo home on Spring street, but not, however, without placing a mortgage upon it. The back pay she received will enable ber to pay off all obligations and have $1,100 left to put in the bank. She ia now able to quit the wash tub where ahe served patiently and long, and apend her declining yeare in well earned rest and peace. ,,

the

memorable battle of Shiloh. General Wallace's actions duriug the first day's engagement have been critlcised by army generals and by history.

He was criticised by General Grant but afterward in his "Memoirs" Grant sought to right the injustice done General Wallace. The party accompanying General Wallace were officers who served in his Third division corps, amy ot the Tennessee. When they arrived at Pittsburg Landing an expert surveyor was procured and in company .with a P*rty of rebel generals and colonels who held positions on the right wing of tho confederate army and could watch General Wallace's movements on the day o£ the battle, went over the ground* "There have been many stories circulat ed as to the movements of my command on that day—some that I was not seem all day and when at last found was marching away frooa the battle. Th« point I desire to make ie in regard to tho distance my division went in specified length of time.
