"I have paid my money to sprinkle, and I will do so when I have the time, whether it is in accordance with the amended water works ordinance or not. Such is the language of one of our business men, and he can do so without violating any law, as the amendment is not legal, for it did not have a two-thirds vote of the Council. As we said yesterday the present ordinance is all right if the authorities will enforce it. The Walks & Talks man saw a sample of how some people use city water who do not pay one cent for it. As he was going home last evening he saw a hose attached to a sill cock in one yard and a party in another yard was using the water on the lawn and flowers. We are sorry to say, also, that the lawn which was being sprinkled belonged to a county official. If officers will not obey the law, what is to be expected of common people.
If we are correctly informed there is an ordinance against jumping on and off moving trains. There are several bootblacks who make a practice of riding on the S:03 train every morning, and one of these days some of them will be minus an arm or leg.
TWO NEW WATJ5R WET.,L.is.
The Water Works Plant to Have More Water. George Morehead has the contract for two new water svells for the city on its lots near the water works. The derrick is being placed in position for the first one, and it will be finished soon. That is the fright move—we want more wells The plant is all right if it had an abundance of water to work on. There are now 265 consumers and the plant is but ten months old. There would have been more if the water supply had been more abundant, as many citizens are ready to attach as soon as they can be supplied with water. The amount paid by each consumer averages between §8 and $9 per year, and putting it at $8.50 each, the yearly rental amounts to $2,252.50 or within less than $300 of the operating expenses. The city also has 65 fire hydrants which at the usual rate would amount to $3,250.
The water works can, therefore, be said to be on a paying basis right now. As soon as more water can be secured, which will be done by wells being put down, the works will begin paying off the principal of the debt on the plant. It will pay out in the time the bonds run and the city have the plant free and the citizens be saved a large sum on insurance, Let us stand by our water works and all other enterprises that add to the beauty, healthfulness and reputation of our city.
W. S. Montgomery Not to Change His Occupation. The last issue of the Hancock Democrat contained this statement. "Montgomery of the REPUBLICAN, is getting ready to throw up the REPUBLICAN, and will hereafter turn his attention to life insurance.
The above statement from the Democrat is, as usual, like all other statement concerning the editor of the REPUBLICAN —false. We have not the slightest idea of disposing of the REPUBLICAN or changing our business. We have had charge of the REPUPBLICAN for seven years, like the paper and the business, and as the people of Greenfield and Hancock county have always treated us kindly, courteously and liberally we feel grateful and kindly toward them, and intend to remain here and RUN THE REPUBLICAN. We have an interest in the business of an insurance company in this Stute, but it does not interfere with the interests of the REPUBLICAN at all, and we say right now that we expect to always be in the newspaper business. People are asked to pay no attention to articles they may see in the Democrat concerning the REPUBLICAN, as they eminate and are written in a mean and contemptible spirit.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constituational disease, requires a constitulational treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surface of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

AN AMERICAN IN DANGER
His Execution Will He Demanded by the Spanish Soldiers. TAMPA., Fla., July 19.—Reports by the Cuban steamer last night are that the Spanish volunteers in Havana have asked to be reviewed on Sunday. It is said that at such review they will demand the execution of General Julio Sanguilly, an American citizen, who has never had a trial, and Juan Gualberto Comez. Such a review resulted in the execution of the eight medical students some years ago. It i6 hoped the American authorities will demand the safety of Sanguilly.

There was also other Spanish casualties. Marshal Campos, with the rest of his troops, broke through the insurgents and reached. Bayamo.

HOSTILITIES AVERTED.
Bolivia and Peru Agree Upon Terms of Peace. LIMA, Peru, July 19.—It now appears
probable that the good offices of the papal nuncio in the dispute between Peru and Bolivia have proved successful in averting hostilities.
Bolivia has consented to modify her demands so far as they include a salute of her flag by Peru, which demand Peru declined to entertain. Pern has already admitted the justice of Bolivia's demands for damages for outrages committed on the frontier by the Cacerist forces during the recent civil war. It is believed that a basis of peaceful ad* justment is thus arrived at.

a ]''ew Hours.
MILWALKKK, July 19.—A special to The Evening Wisconsin from Iron Mountain, Mich., furnishes a list of the miners entombed in the Pewabic mine: Frank Bowden, Edward Webb, Peter G. Carlson, T. F. Johnson, M. Sornora, Paul Farretto, James Canino, M. Rjani and Anse Fleming.
It is known that some of the miners are alive, as hammering on a pipe leading into the room in which the men are confined, has been responded to with nine raps given, and this is accepted as evidence that the men are all together, but whether all escaped injury can not be established. Better progress than was anticipated is being made by the rescuing crew, and it is now the opinion that the room will be reached in about five hours.
Too Old to Play Base Ball.
ST. LOUIS, July 19.—Roger Connor, the well known first baseman of the St. Louis Browns, formerly a Giant, has asked President Von Der Ahe for his release, as he is getting old and is better out of the game than in it, as he expressed it. He will return to his home in Waterbury, Conn., and take life easy. Chris consented to release Roger, but asked him to remain with the team until another man could, be secured. This Connor will do. Tim Sheehan, first baseman of the Little Rock club, has been wired to report here to take Connor's place.
