A break in the water main on 5th
street last Saturday evening closed
the plant until Sunday morning. It
was caused by freezing, and the
freezing is apparently accounted
for in the fact that a gate was found
closed a b,lo,ck east, "which had left
dead water, in t|ie main all winter.
When the fire alarm sounded San-
day morning there was much indignation over the condition, and While
it would have been much more
satisfactory if water could have
been had, it is improbable that the
Wyman hoirie could have beni saved, because nearly every ror-ra was
on fire before the blaz- was discovered.

o'clock'the mother awoke, and her
first thought was whether her son
had retired in proper order after the
theatre of the evening before. To
her amazement and dispair Bhe failed to find him in his little bed, and
the first thought-was that he had
fallen asleep in the opera house and
had been loeked in. The buzzer in{
the telephone office immediately
became busy and the theater manager was implored to come to their
rescue. Obedient to the pleading
Manager Doherty dressed and started for the place of amusement, expecting to find the youngster curl-
ed up in a seUt. When near the hall
another alarm was sent in to the
effect that the boy had been discovered. He was under a lounge in

dreaming of marbles and the opening of the swimming season.

In The Townships.
Democrats are extracting considerable consolation from there-
suits in several of the townships
throughout the county. In Sheridan Albert Allen was re-elected
highway commissioner, notwithstanding the fact that Supervisor
Vanderwarker won by 94 majority.
I. E. Hampton was elected clerk,
Wpi. Becker, treasure?, and the remainder of the Republican   ticket

Mr.
In Grant1 the Democrats elected
S. Gilraorc---commissioner., and came
within three votes of electing'E.
Stanley supervisor over Carl Stoll.
The contest was a spirited one
throughout, and the independent
vote of Grant appears to be a power
to bo reckoned, with in the future.
-\i6 mile of -road north of tjbw city
was ordered constructed, but ho arrangements were made for the
necessary funds.
Arthur Democrats succeeded in
electing clerk, commissioner and
member of the board of review,
Republicans succeeding with
balance by reduced majorities.
Sunday's majority for^supervisor
was fourteen.
Only one ticket was in the field in
Hatton.
Surry, as usual records a Republican victory, but Lr. Kelley has re-„
tired from the supervisorship. L.
F. Leonard, the grocer, succeeds
him.
Vernon Democrats went • up
against the real thing this year,
saving only J. D. IvfcConhell,
treasurer, who war running for a
second term. Henry Wilds is the
new supervisor.
C. R. Giddings is the new mayor
of Harrison, haying uo opposition
at the polls. The Denjocrats elected two supervisors'of the three.
Isabella county went "wet" by
about nine huudred votes, according to latest reports., Vernon .gave
thirteen for the "wets". "
" In Garfield B. .8. Allgy won for
supervisor overvAl. Tryon by only
seven votes, although the township
is sixty Republican.
A full list of the supervisors of
the county will be found in another
column, «.

The city election on Monday drew
SuOTii' ' tuB:~ uuririai^:^ywfc6 "fifiu ^frOli-
every indication there was alack of
that fighting .disposition that has
characterl-ted bimilar occasions in
the past, ©Most of the candidates
WPon both tickets were busy all day
hustling their friends to the polls,
but there was a nbticable absence of
that vindictivenes&that has been so
The Democrats tare rejoicing because the people most emphatically'
endorsed the movement to give
them- a complete and modern
municipal, water plant, to be fully
operated aud controlled by the city.
The vote indicates that there are no
serious objections to the present-
mode of operation.
Honors for the offlpes are about
equally divided, the 'Democrats
makiug slight gains, The defeated
Democratie'candidates all made excellent runs, and have nothing to
feel aggrieved over. The vote upon
the water proposition was canvassed differently in the second ward
than in the .first and third, hence
nothing definite was known of the
result, although it was early conceded that the people had repudiated any proposition to go back to the
contract plan-of operation.
The splendid endorsement of
Mayor Benner, Supervisors, Je'nn-
iugs and Jackson and Aldermen
McKinnon aud Mater was fully deserved, and was a tribute to their
worth as citizens rather thah their
politican belief.
The vote upon the city ticket was
as follows:
J, A. Jackson, d.

J. D. Dunwbodie-r.

' Upon the state ticket the rote
shows the city to be Republican by
63 majority. Carpenter for supreme
justice received 3G votes in the 1st,,
85 in the 2d., and 74 in the 3d., a

132. The' ProhibitioiL candidates lor
the saine office received nine votes
in the city.
The vote on school commissioner
is recorded in another column.
The ballot upon the water question proved confusing, but the vote
is plain as to the disposition of the
people upon the general proposition.
