The Democratic Sentinel.

The state fair for 1895 promTses to be the best meeting in the his* tory of the state. Thp- large premiums offered and the liberal rules adopted will certainly attract large list of exhibitors in all classes insuring a most excellent and attractive show. This is what the people want tu see and the attendance is likely to be most satisfactwy The many att actions at Indianapolis during fair we k and the very low railroad rates make this a splendid time to visit th l state capitol.

THE BOOM CONTINUES.

More Wages Increased and a Healthy Business Outlook. Besumptions: Greenville, Pa, iron works, 1,000 men; Poughkeepsie, N. Y., iron works; Embreville, Tenn , iron furnace: Port Henry, N. Y., iron furnace. Wages increased: Easton Pa., switch works, 10 per cent; Woonsocke*. R. 1., macnine shops, cotton and woolen mills,*l,sooemployes, 10 per cent; Calumet, Mich., copper miners, 5,000, 10 per cent. A Pittsburg dispatch says there will be no window glass workers’ strike. The Chambers glass company will agrea to the terms of the workers, and, as it practically con trols the situation, the otner man ufacturers will foLow its example. At the meeting of the wage con tereDca tomorrow a settlement on a basis of a 10 per cent advance will be agreed upon. The company's action is of especial interest to 25,000 window glass workers thro’ out the country, as it means a set tldmeni of the wage question at a substantial advance and the early resumption of work in all the sac tories. The Tradesman, Chattanooga, says: “Idle furnaces in the iron dis tricts of the South axe being over hauled, and several Diants in Ala Jbama, Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee will be put in blast with in the next sixty days.” A Philadelphia dispatch says twenty-two leading carpet manufacturers have resolved to end the strike of the ingrain weavers at once, it being agreed that each firm shall make the it can with the operatives. A number of firms declared their purpose to open their mills and pay the new schedule of wa«es demanded by the strikers today.

The report of the Fall River mill earnings for the July quarter is encouraging, lhe average quarterly dividend for thirty of the mills is reported at 1.87 per cent. Two of the mills have paid extra dividends, one of 10 per cent, a d the other of 3 per cent. This wo’d seem to indicate that the eotton manufacturing business is in favorable condition. The Chicago Railv ay Age says: “The steel makers are uual le to bu all tiis raw material they and arc. rumble to accept all th i orciere offered. This is said to be the condition today and to accou it for the strong upward tendency of prices.” The southern phosphate industry is receiving attention and interest in the manufacture of cotton in the South continues active. Demand for iron and steeMs firmly maintained, the furnaces and rolling mills being taxed to fill orders for immediate delivery. The Weavers’ union in New Bedford, Mass., has requested an increase of 25 per cent, ic wages. The New York jacket makers, who struck on Wednesday of last week, have won their figbt. About 2,500 men and women have resumed work. Employes of the Calumet & Hecla, Tamarack, T marack Junior, Osceola and Kearsage mi es have beenjnotificd of an increase in wages, dating from Augl, am’ting to 10 per cent. More than 5,000 men are employed at the five mines. All but two of tholake Sucerior copper mines have now raised wages sinc= August 1.

The railroads are off ring low rates to Indianapolis for state fair week, on account of the state fair and “A Night in Pekin” and other big attractions are being advertised. This is the time to visit the city and ev ryhody that goeA sho’d attend the fair. It is worthy the support of every taxpayer in the state. Three great promises made to the American people in 1892 have been more nearly fulfilled and carried more nearly into execution than any three promises ever made by any party in any platform.— What were they ? They were summed up by Samuel J. Tilden

About Water Works.

The Town Council of the town of Rensselaer, Indiana, ordered an election to be held on the 3rd day of September, 1895, for the purpose of voting for or against Water Works for the said town of Rensselaer, Indiana. Up to this time there has been very little said for or against the enterprise, and to many the inquiry has been, “What will be the probable cost of installing a plant for Water Works, and about what capacity will it be, and to what points in the town will it be distributed?” These, of course, are the three principal questions of interest in this matter, and we shall try in this article to state to the voters of the town of Rensselaer the facts concerning these three important questions; the cost, of course, will depend largely upon the system that is decided upon to be installed in the town, that is whether it shall tie direct pn ssure or a stand pipe and m ihe supplies which will be furnished (he capacity, and it will du re be ishown to the voters that the iirob dil« cost will not be more than *22,000 direct pressure, and say %25,000 with elevated tank, and of course this may i.e varied more or less in accordance with the plans and specifications that may afterwards be made. Now in regard to the capacity of the plant, we want to say that the town is desirous of installing a plant that will be of sufficient capacity to supply the town with water, say any where from one and a half to two million gallons per day. This of course will require two large steam pumps of seven hundred and fifty thousand or one million gallons each, per day, fmd these will be installed so as to run in alternation in the ordinajy supply of water, but in time of a fire they may both be put to work and will be connected to the same main.

The boilers will of course be of sufficient size to admit of additional machinery, if required in the future. As to the question of distribution, we would say that it is the purpose to have these mains extend out to the various limits of the town that are at present occupied and improved, and it will be left in such shape that when the improvements extend further out into the new additions that these mains can be extended so as to accommodate the entire town, When required. The erroneous idea that some have understood that these Water Works would be simply located in the business part of town should be dismissed from your mmds at once. There has never been any intention of that bind, bat if Water Works are installed in this town they wifi be put in with a view of benefittieg every property holder, and of 1 affording protection from fire to every resident property and every business property in the town of Rensselaer. It does not seem practicable for us to allow this opportunity to go by without casting our vote fob water .works, for the reason that

A Wonderful Story of an Old Lady. St. Joseph, Mich., May 9,1894. Lyon Median* Co n Indianapolis, Ind.: I wish to congratulate you in being is possession of such s grand medicine at LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. I was in very poor health for a long time, could eat no solid food, and scarcely anything else; had no appetite, but a continued distress in my stomach, and was very poor in flesh. Your remedy being recommended by one who hsd tried them, I got s bo* of same, and can cheerfully and gladly say, after using them, the distress in my stomsch entirely ceased, my sppetite increased wonderfully, and I gained in flesh very perceptibly. lam a lady seventy-four years of age, and can say that LYON’S SEVEN WONDERS have given me a new lease on life. I feel grateful toward you and your remedy. It does more than you claim for it, and no words of praise can do it justice. Gratefully yours, Mrs. Cynthia Ransom,

we are daily exposed to fire, and in o.iße we should have an extensive one we sh< uld be entirely at the mercy of the flames. The fact that we need the water works for individual supply is not the question of so much importance as a lire protection. Nevertheless, if we had had water this year t<# use our gardens and lawns would have been in muoh better condition and more profitable than they have been to us, and when we consider the benefits to be derived from this system of water works and then oompare that with the nominal cost it will b* to caon individual we oan but deoide that it is impoitant, ana ot mutual benefit to each and every citizen of the town of Rensselaer, and that we will vote to have water works established in our town. l’he question as to our ability is of course a matter to be considered, but when we take into consideration that there are people who will take our bonds and them for five, ten, fifteen and twenty years, and when this plant is once established the rentals from the water will doubtless pay more than the interest and the expense of running the plant, and at the rapid rate of increase iu our town both in valuation of property and population, the taxes necessarily assessed to meet these expenses will be but a trifle, and during all thiß time we will be enjoying the advautages of water works.

The rental for water from the water works will, in a very short time pay for the entire pla*.t. This fact has been demonstrated time and again in other towns, and some of these towns which have|[ aid for their water works are not as large as this Fowler, Monticello and Kentland ha . e all vuted on water works and it has carried there, and there is no reason why Rensselaer sho’d not keep pace with hersister to.vns and we are fully as able to have thaie necessari.s as any toun in tile State. The item of taxation should not be considered as a reason for voting against water works, as the exj enence has been in all places that they are solf-sus+ainiug, and there is no question but what this one will be before the expiration of five years. Again, our town is now rated for insurance in the fourth class, and as soon as we have a good system of water works operating in the town the insurance companies will give us a new rating and place us in the sec jnd class, which will make a material difference in the coßt of insurance, not only to business people but to the resident owners as well. I find that it will require about five miles, or 28,000 feet of mains, ranging in size from 4 to 10 inches, to supply the town, about 30 fire plugs and a pumping station.
