It was 25 or mere years age. Our city Is net
yet in need of a reserve reservoir, as we have
done without oae VI years, nnd the
water of a reserve rmorvelr would net
be always a fresh as It new Is with one. A
reserve rcsorvelr would cost perhaps f 100,000
or mere, as it would have te be large enough
te contain nleutatlve days supply of water
In It. A riorve reservoir would cost tee
mueb and It would net pay the interest en
Its cost, and therefore it should net Iki built.
It would net cause any tuore buildings or
manufactories te be built lu this city, and as
the city tax is high enough new, uoue should
be built. The Intersecting sewer from l'rlne'j
te Hesorveir street will net pay tlie Interest
units cost, and It should net yet be built.
Thewateruf IheCenestnga is net often muddy

'I he ruepculng exercises of Franklin and
Marshall college and seminary were held In
the chapel at 10,10 a. m. today. Kev Dr.
Apple extended a brlsf wolcemo te the
students, after which Prof. J. K. Kerahner
dollvered the fernnl address en tbe subject
el "The Kducattunal Value of Mathematics.1'
It wb a very Interesting proiluctlen, oootipy eootipy oeotipy
Ing an hour lu delivery, but se toehntcal In
nalure as lu l-i cblelly attractive te these
nclentltlcally inilinnd. The popular features
el It are reproduced lu tbe following abstract t
"NIK KIlUOAllnff t VAI.l'K Ol' MATIIK
MA1ICS." Thnaclonce of quantity has always been
recognlred a an luiertanl branch of lnatrno lnatrne lnatrno
Hen. In oureollego, as In many ethers where
the numbnr of elllcers of Instruction is quit
limited, the depirtment of mathematics In
volves mero than pure mathematics and In
eludes surveying, natural philosophy and as
tronomy. The development of the depart
ment la no less a requirement than the mere
olllce of teaching, because college as well a
men and nations have te work their way
from a primitive condition nearer te the high
Ideal of a well equipped centre of learning.
When Interests are se varied 11 Is sometimes
hard lodeclde what part Can afford te wait.
Circumstances may put us at times under the
necessity ei moving euiy lucermin direction
even If ether equally important Interests have
te lie overlooked nnd nllowed le move In tbe
even tenor of their sluggish ways. With us
the department has been growing en the prac
tical aide and we are compelled te feel at this
early stage, when but the first few need
leaves have rescbe I the life giving sun, that
mero is looked for than can pestlbly be ao ae ao
eompllshod within the mean provided,
though vorygewl ae far a they go, and
much that Is necessary is overlooked.
The speaker then expressed tbe heK that
no department of the Institution would bo be bo
ceino superficial and less thorough, nnd
pointed out the danger In that direction. Pro Pre
gross en the practical aide should net be
checked, but tbe fundamental tboerotlcal
training should net lw neglected.
Whllu It Is proper that all students should
enjoy tbe pleasure nnd Instruction that can
be derived lrem the instruments, yet their
chief value lies In their use as Instruments of
precision. It la easy enough te grasp the
tart that the piano et the equator 1 Inclined
32 27 , but te understand hew astronomers
found thl nut reqnlres considerable Intel
lectual activity, and te understand hew the
moon chaugex her phase requires mental
etlert of Iho same kind. More thorough
training in mathematics jsuecenaary in order
le understand astronomy and physics mere
thoroughly. Tbe lullmate relation between
mathematics and physical science wa clearly
shown.
It lsdllllcult te keep students of various
deg roe and kinds et talent up te the aaine
standard, but a mere serious dlfllculty Is that
classes are two largely compesod of members
promoted simply by llme aud net according
te tbe measure of their acquirements, both In
cellege and befere they come te cel I go. Pro Pro
feseor IjvM, of Yale, has said " under a sys
tem or cducatleu which kindly but firmly lu
vltes men te cheese right. In vlew et conse
quences that ceme closely home te them, the
bent characters will be fermed." This Is as
true of work as of character. Even moderale
Buecca can net Is- attained without
thorough maMery of the fundaments of
algebra nnd nrltbiiiatlc, and in the last few
years there ha been a marked Improvement
In the standard. The mental training In the
first stages of the course Is almost wholly 111
tbe direction of careful and exact work, and
later, tbe demonstrations like that of Hturm's
theerum, nre the grandest product of the
highest Intellectual etlert.
The value of trigonometry lies also in Its
practical application te hIiiiehI every branch
orscleuce, while analytical geemetry com
bines almost all that has gene bofero It with
a liberalizing tendency. Calculus also com
bines what has preceded It and and practical
appllcitlen In Invention and philosophy. It

line el the Defendants In the Uaddnck Mnrder
Case Tells Utile el What Ue Knows.
Sioux City, la., Jau. 6. Paul Leader, one
of the nine defendants Indicted for murder
and conspiracy In the Haddock case, last
night made a statemoet of his connec
tion with the tragedy. Leader Bays he and
a friend were In Junk's saloon where there
were quite a number of persons. Among
tbetn were U. L. Leavilt and Jehn Arena Arena
derf. A man came In and said that the
buggy bad ceme back (tbe buggy contained
Hev. Haddock.) Leavltt went out and ethers
Joined tbe party going up Fourth street
towards Water. He knew somethlng waa
up, but never anticipated a sheeting. They
met tbe crowd fat least 16) nt tbe corner of
Fourth and Water streets. Arenederf was
net there, but he saw Leavltt t.lere. He and
bis friend walked en down Water street.
Suddenly we heard a rovetvor shot and I
whirled ebeut and looked toward the corner
where we had passed the crowd. I saw two
men Btandlug In the street. One etaggered
forward and foil. The ether turned nnd ran
north et Water street. Almest as seen as
the shot was fired the crowd at the cerner
ran away and my frlend nnd 1 ran
south towards the lumber yards.
Leader resisted every efTert te draw from
him tbe names or the persona nt the oernor.
The statement of Paul Leader Is significant.
He is en the most Intimate terms with
Arensdorf and is regarded by tbe dolense as
"solid." He has declined every everture of
the prosecution. Ills statement In all Its
allegations, intimations and spirit tallies
exactly with what has been hinted by the
friends of the defeuse as Its theory. It
is slmbly an alibi for Arensderl and the fix
ing of the act of murder en Leavltt, while the
explanation of Innocent preeence will be at
tempted In behalf of Leader and the ether
conspirators.
