Many preserve them, and as a feature they are read by quite a number of people. and are published by a number of wide awake papers. Few take them seriously, however, and we have yet to hear of the first person hereabouts, having confidence enough in them to build a tornado shed or a cyclone vault.

The appointment by Judge McGregor of Mr. George E. Blake of this city, as a member ot the county hoard of review, was an act that will meet the hearty approval of our citizens. Mr. Blake is especially well fitted for the position and will give it the attention that it deserves. That he is a republican shows that Judge McGregor did not pander to party clamor in chosing his men, a very commendable and liberal act, as he appointed one republican and one democrat.

In another column of this paper appears a communication criticising Prophet Hicks' weather predictions, and suggesting that it is time that newspapers cease publishing such nonsense. These predictions furnish considerable
the Greencastle Water Works com pany? The company has an ordinance very advantageous to them in many respects, hut the concensus of popular opinion is thnt they can no more say what hours a customer may use tlie sprinkling service for which lie rightfully pays, than they may designate at what hour a man may take a drink from
his house hydrant.
The hours set above are not convenient for every one. Business men who get to work at seven o’clock in the morning will want to begin their lawn sprinkling before six o’clock for the reason that they would lie unable to get more than a half hour sevice before they would he compelled to quit and leave for their stores. The same argument holds good from five to seven o’clock in the evening. The greater part of the lawn sprinkling in the evening has heretofore been done after seven o’clock. The rule is unAmerican and unnatural, and is but another one of those annoyances by which monopolies try to
assert grinding power.
The citizens of Greencastle should not sit down meekly and permit this rule to be enforced. The section in the contract between the company and the city provides that a patron of the water system may sprinkle with an one-eighth inch nozzle four hours per day. When a man pays his rental he

chance for his recovery.
A search xvas immediately begun for the guilty parties, and McGuflin | was arrested. James I’ierce was also arrested and slated as drunk. It is not believed he had a hand in the atfair, but he may prove to be a valuable witness. Bresnahan was arrested by Detectives Kaehne and McGutf.
