The election On Monday to rectify the error of the former election for the issue of bonds to the amount of $15,000 for the improvement of and enlarging the capacity of the water facilities of this town was a very tame affair, only 104 votes being poled, with 85 in favor of and 19 atratnst the issue. It was a fore gone conclusion that the vote would be in the aflimative largely and therefore but few cared to leave their occupations to cast a ballot, and besides the great bulk of our people were in attendance upon the last rites to be shown our departed fellow townsman O. F. Knox Proposals for the purchase ol the bonds will now be in order and they will be taken up as boon as put upon the market September 2, 1901. Several parties are desirous of bidding in the issue and one or two have offered a most liberal bonus. In anticipation of soon having the money on hand the City Council is posting notices for bids for the con struction of a 50-foot reservoir to be 15 feet deep and lined with stone or brick and thoroughly cemented, and for the laying of drainage pipe, feeders, etc. It is understood that the pipe for the mains, which is being contracted for in the east, may be delayed beyond the time of its promise, on account of strikes, but all preparations will be made for it, so that when it does get here there will be nothing but the lay ing of it to complete the system of water supply. The want of a sufficient water supply has been sadly felt in the past, and now that our town is steadily growing, and has every expectation of a rapid growth in the future, no one public improvement is more necessary than a bountiful supply of water for consumption, garden culture, flower beds and lawn uses and fire purposes. The rates of insurance are now very high, but with the completion of a first-class water system insurance rates will be ma terially reduced. llohcmia, Aug., 12, toot. Kd Nuc.ciur: Gee Whiz! I can' get words to express my feeling or views of the outcome ot this promising mining district today You'll have to wait another week I'll try. We are nicely settled on the Ore gon-Colorado, arc doing lots work.

The City Council at its meeting on Monday evening decided to let a contract for the painting of the City Hall with a double coat. Thi: is a move in the right direction and should have long since been an ac complished fact. The building oc cupies a prominent location in the heart of the city and in plain view of every stranger that comes to view our growing town. In the past the Nugget has called attention many times to the forlorn ap pearance of the building in its nudeness, but the council was handicapped for funds and could not have this most necessary work done. Now it is to be done and done right, and when finished it will be a source of pride and pleas ure for our citizens to point out to the stranger within our gates the City Hall. Wm. Bainbridge, who owns i small but well kept ranch near Elk head, Douglas county, was in town this week, and gives his opinion on the festive hen, Mr. Bainbridge thinks the hen properly cared for is one of the best money producers a man can have; and to substanti ate his assertion he tells his recent experience, as follows: On the 14th of last February he purchased 15 leghorn hens and took them to his ranch. From these 15 hens he has marketed $14 worth of eggs to date, nearly $3 per month. The fifteen hens are worth probably $3.50. Can anyone mention any other kind of stock that will bring in $3 per mouth on an investment of 53.50? State school statistics show a gain of 637 pupils in the last school year. One of those accidents happened on Tuesdav evening which spreads a cloud of the deepest sorrow over the homes of two otherwise con tented and happy families. Four boys who live in and around the Divide went down to the Coast Fork near Latham on Tuesday evening to swim, and two were taken out of the water dead. The unfortunates were Guy Lee, 17 years of age, the son of Bert Lee; Martin Tucker, 13 years old, the son of W. W. Tucker. While bathing in a deep hole the younger boy was suddenly taken with a cramp and the older boy went to his assistance. The little fellow, realizing his danger and becoming thoroughly frightened, grabbed the older boy in such a manner that he was powerless to make the rescue or assist himself. The other two boys swam to their companions to aid them, but in the struggle were forced to free themselves and seek safety, while the Lee and Tucker boy sank from sight and were drowned. The bodies were re covered later and taken to the homes of their respective parents This is one of those takings away that brings a shock to the entire neighborhood. These young boys were bright and industrious and worked with their fathers in the wood business. It is one of those unlooked for trials upon the be reaved ones that in its very sudden ness makes the grief so hard to bear. The families of.these boys have the deep sympathy of all of their friends and neighbors. The interment took place Wednesday afternoon iu Odd Fellows cemetery west of town and was largely a. tended by numerous friends of both families. HOltX SUAKD At SitL'lnuw. Auintd l.

Last year he was selected by the republicans of this county to make the race for county udge and was only defeated by mi tlicial count.

The Rev. Crandall offered a most eloquent prayer, 'lie choir sang impressively and the Rev. Uillington sermonized in eulogy of the departed one. A most touching and devotiil last look was takn by his immediate loved ones, the casket was lowered to its last resting place, the earth tilled in over the remains and the little mound piled high with tloral offerings from those who will cherish his memory while ho peacefully sleeps in that quiet hillside.
