Out went an order to the Marshal to arrest any merchant who was caught selling goods Sunday. The hoteis. livery stables, and barber shops alone were permitted to remain open and druggists were allowed to sell medicines. The sale of cigars and tobacco Sunday was entirely prohibited.

A SLEEPY OLD VILLAGE AWAKESJCO. Somehow or other Oskaloosa never seemed to thrive.

Although beautifully located and surrounded by every imaginable natural advantage, towns sprung up all around it and erew into cities while Oskaloosa considered itself lucky if it gained two new inhabitants a year. At last the people began to inquire into the cause of their snaii-like progress, and finally reached the conclusion they not only lacked enterprise themselves, but mat the various administrations that the city bad been tinder had done absolutely nothing toward building up tne place or helping it along. Every year there had been an election and candidates had made many promises of what they intended to do when they got into office, but the promises were never made good, and Republican and Democratic Administrations alike had ail proven dismal failures. The town was fast going to seed. From one end to the other it presented a dilapidated appearance.

The buildings, tor want of paint, were terribly shabby, and the streets and sidewalks were in such wretched condition as to be almost impassable after a heavy rainfall. Such was the situation a year ago. The ticket, that had been placed in the field for They tfiah tha Alderman to Raa Iodpnd-eatly.

As far as recognition of the Ger mans goes the majority think that the nomination of two men on the ticket Am berg and Brentano is not only sufficient but generous.

Wherever Raymond is personally known among the Germans he is lilted, and where be is not Known there is no opposition to him. His opponent, Roesing, will derive little advantage from his nationality. Germans are no hogs in politics. They will not break away from the Republican ticket in order to capture three city offices. Among German Republicans Roesing has no strength, and among Democratic radicals his pronounced hostility to organized labor places bis support entirely out of tbe question.

Independent voters indorse Raymond heartily. THEY ARE ALL FOR ROCHE. There is something almost surprising in the universality of the sentiment among tha Germans of the better class in favor of Mayor Roche. The shifting of the North-Siders from the support of the Democratic party, or rather ot Carter Harrison, to Mayor Roche is so complete as to exceed the ex signed.

Organization was perfected in every ward and precinct in the city, and the active men of the party are ready for a vigorous canvass during the coming week.

The meetings held in the North Division Thursday evening and in the southwestern wards Friday evening were well attended, harmonious, and enthusiastic. Mayor Roche was most cordially greeted, especially by the German-Americans. He received numerous pledges of support from former Democrats, and it is conceded, even by the most sanguine Cregier men, that he will get a large majority in the Korth Division. Mr. Raymond also has made a good canvass, and despite the opposition of the UtaaU-Zeituny has made headway among the German-Americans.

Mayor Boldenweck of Laue View, who is well acquainted with the sentiments ot those of his nationality in the Twentieth, Twenty-first, and Twenty-second Wards, said that he had no doubt that all three of those wards would give rousing majorities for Roche and Raymond. Of course Messrs. Brentaho and Am berg will run fully as strong as their ticket. GERMANS FOR ROCHE. Tho Germans look for results.

Hypes' speech of Saturday night, it was claimed, was calculated to help Mayor Roche, though of course it was not so intended.

REFLECTING OX HIMSELF. Cregier himself also made a bad break in his reference to the tunnel extension as part of the drainage scheme. He gave evidence of his lack ot capacity for the position which he lormerly held. He tried to make it appear that tbe four-mile extension of the tunnels was not necessary, because the sewage would all be diverted into the Des-piaines Valley when the drainage scheme is carried out. It will take some time for that.

In the meantime it is necessary to have the source of the water supply uncontaminated by the sewage of the city or of Hyoe Park and Lake View which now flows into the lake, or which may be carried out at flood times in the spring when the back-water of the Desplaines Valley travels lakewatL It has frequently been tbe experience that the water supply is at times contain. naled by the flow of the sewage into the crib. The four-mile tunnel plan was agreed on to prevent all possibility of the recurrence of that.

Then the Mayor and Council turned their attection to bad boys. For years the young toughs of the place bad been allowed to loaf about the streets at night and they had cut up all sorts of capers, such as moving signs from one place to anotner and rolling grindstones from in front of hardware stores to private residences. A proclamation was issued commanding all boys under IS years of age to be off the streets at 8 o'clock in the evening under penalty of arrest. Since then one cannot find a boy after that hour with a searcn warrant. The ladies were greatly exercised over the subject of tobacco-chewing and looked carefully through the statutes for an ordinance mat could oe used to stop men from squirting tobacco juice on the sidewalks.

They failed to find one, bat some of the ladies were of the opinion that the ordinance relating to public indecencies would cover the nasty nuisance. They asked tne City Attorney what he thought about it, and he told them that tobacco-chewing was a personal liberty and beyond the reach of municipal legislation. The ladies were somewnat disappointed, but did the next best thing they could, and that was to personally request every to-bacco-chewerin town not to expectorate on the sidewalks. This had just as much if not more effect than an ordinance would, for the men are so respectful of the wishes of their female guardians that tney unhesitatingly complied with the request, and now a lady may fearlessly sweep her skirts over the sidewalks without any danger of having them stained with filthy nicotine. Soms of the men have even "sworn off" chewing.

Although some of the merchants were dis The Bohemian Democratic Central SI him that a lot of women would take more in pectations even of the most sanguine friends of Mayor Roche. The German vote bad a great deal to do with ine successes of Harrison. It had thereby become associated in the minds of many observers with the Democratic party. But that part of Germany which lies north of tbe Chicago River has completely renounced this allegiance and is for Mayor Roche with a unanimity and an enthusiasm that place the result beyond controversy.

The same feeling prevails among the respectable element on the West and South Sides. Finally there is a body of independent voters among the Germans, independent in municipal questions at any rate, which has no terest in improving the town than the men paign Committee met at Kteiner's Hall ves- terday afternoon.

CREUIER'S AIK-1UMPINO MACHINES. In justice to the women who had consented re nut tuiciuk Mime oi uic utterances cf members of the personal preference. Among these voters the principle or letting well enough alono is at present the ruling one. There is a general feeling among them that Mayor Roche has done well, while Mr.

Cregier has not been tried, and they place good government above the desire to assist a man to office and make a change. If a straw indicates the direction of a current an investigation that was made yesterday will be considered significant. Every Sunday at the North Side Turner Hall a musical concert is given, which is attended by upwards of 500 of the best German ctizens of the North Side. Yesterday afternoon three well-known Republicans, Messrs. R.

D. Corlett, T. S. Albright, and A. Ries, made a canvass of the people that gather there.

Upwards of 500 persons were seen. Many were Democrats. 44 We are for Roche, one nnd all," said the Republicans. "We're for any good man," said the Democrats. We know what Roche has given us in the past; we don't know what Cregier may do.

The history Wards during tne last three or four days will help to bring out the full Republican vote.

The Democrats, on the other hand, are somewhat dissatisfied. Their town ticket is not satisfactory. Their Aldermanic nominees are not to their liking. Mr. Cregier is not a candidate who can fire tbe popular heart.

Neither Roesing, Sugg, nor Bransfield can address an audience. Roesing is not known in tbe North D.vision. He has not associated with the Germans. The voters, however, are tired of electing wealthy brewers to rich and fat offices. The brewers themselves do not take Kindly to Roes.ng.

They have refused to contribute to bis campaign fund. Mr. Raymond suits them just as well as Roesing, to say tbe least. It is probable that Mayor Roche will carry the North Division by from 1,500 to 3,000 majority, and that Raymond, A in berg, and Brentano will not be far behind. MAGNIFICENT ORGANIZATION.

In the southwestern section ot the city the Republicans have a splendid organization. Thanks to the exertions of William Lorrimer every precinct of the Seventh Wara, hitherto a Democratic stronghold, has a Repuolic-an club. The Cregier majority there will be nothing to boast of. The Democratic factions there are fighting with claws and talons. The Eighth Ward is also well organized.

They did comparatively satisfactory work until the winter of The original valves were then taken out and new ones of Cregier's own design substituted. These were a miserable failure. Something had to be done to prevent tne "pounding," wnich threatened to wrecic the machinery. Air cushions were next introduced for the pur peso of preventing this "pounding and roak'ng the action of tbe pumps noiseless. But the usefulness of the pumps wan thereuy impaired.

Mr. Gerecke, the experienced mechanical engineer now in the city's service, treating on this subject, says: I found at the North Side Water-Works several air pumps. One was a duplex double-acting machine with two air cylinders, each ii inches in diameter, eight incn stroke, running usually eighty revolutions per minute, and which could furnish about 1U5 cubie feet ot air at atmospberio pressure; another with two cylinder which at forty double strokes per minute could furnish about thirty cubic feet of air. and a third which conld furnish about fifty cubio feet ot air per minute. This last one was used as a water pump when the well had to be pumped dry.

When the "72 engine was running it was employed to pump air for tbe engine. The three pumps together could easily furnish au cubic feet of air at atmospheric pressure per minute. This was pumped into a receiver under a presure of twelve pounds above atmosDhere, and from this receiver the air was led by means of pipes into the suction valve chambers of the pumps. A similar state of things existed at the West Side works. The engines were pumping wind instead of water.

Mr. Gerecke says in reference to them found the tvo air cylinders to have each 11 Inches bore by 10 inches strobe, and could furnish, at forty-bix double strokes per minute, a i4o cubio inches of atmospheric air for each double stroke, or 81 cubic feet per minute, which was forced into the pump barrels on the ud- graamg and ditching 8,677,602 Water pipe 15 5-0 miles laid Fire hydrants 1.0S4 and cisterns 14 Water service pipes 25237 Sewers 3i4 miles; eaten basins, man holes, 1 ST7 432.176 Houne drains 14897 177,434 Electric lights 287. including plant which wUi suDply 175 more 105.838 Gas lamps 3 Oil lamps 24.2M New plank sidewalks 79l'i miles 2M.710 Stone sidewalks miles H5.8V9 Filer ticket last fall.

There is some opposition to Mayor Roche among a certain class of Germans.

But McCann will not be pulled off, even oy Lawier. He thinks he can win. This sore spot cannot be healed before election, and it will seriously interfere with the Cregier ticket.

The conservatives, so-calied, have invariably carried the day. Proof was thus furnished, if it was necessary, that Socialism is confined to a small portion only of the Germans. Tbat the Germans are also by coc viction and tradition Republicans is a well-known fact.

There was only one man in the Democratic party who couid divide this German vote and he is not running. The administration of Mayor Roche has offered no reasons for dissatisfaction to the respectable Germans. THE HOUSEWIVES FOR ROCHE. On the contrary, far from being dissatisfied, the Germans are greatly pleased with the nominations. Any one who makes a trip on the North Side and takes the trouble to talk to Germans about politics will soon become convinced of this fact.

In the first place the wmd-pumping record of Mr. Cregier and Mayor Rocne's remedy are, perhaps, of greater influence among them than among any other class of people. Among tbe Germans the women are more emphatically than among others the housewives. They sourn any innovation that would alter the circle of tneir duties. For that reason their opinions oq household matters are of more than ordinary weight with the men.
