HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH WILLIAMS SAYS HE'S IN THE FIELD Talks With the Governor, but Declares That He Is Still a Candidate Representative George \V. Williams, the Tiona county local option leader who last week announced his candi dacy for speaker of the House of Rep resentatives, spent an hour with Gov ernor Brumbaugh in company with Representative Prank H. Marvin, his colleague, early this afternoon and declared when he left the executive chamber that he was a candidate for speaker and would go into the caucus as such. The Tioga countlan came here this morning on a visit to this part of the State. Mr. Williams suid that he had business with Capitol departments anj that he had not been sent for. "I have been heading this way for several days and dropped in to visit the Governor with' Mr. Marvin while here," was his explanation "of the \ isit. "Are you still a candidate for speak er?" was asked. "I certainly am." replied Mr. Wil liams. and Mr. Marvin added: "He is going right through with it." "Did the Governor ask you to re tire?" was then asked. "Now, I came here to visit the Gov ernor and wetalked legislation and naturally talked about the speaker ship," replied Mr. Williams. "He did not ask me to get out and I did not ask him to support me. He knows 1 am a candidate and that 1 am going to remain such." When asked if there was any possi bility of him being a candidate out sige of the caucus, Mr. Williams re plied, "1 never thought of such a thing. 1 am going intothe caucus and as 1 said I intend to be a candidate for speaker and to work for that end. This is my tight and I am going to make it as hard as I can." Representative C. F. Benchoff, of Franklin county, was also a caller at the Governor's office. So was Repre sentative C. E. Cook, of DUlsburg, and Congressman D. F. Lafean. MORE PAY' FOH SAILORS Washington, D. C., Dec.

CITY TO SETTLE LIGHT QUESTION {Continued From Fust l*a#e.] without disturbing the present rate of nine and a half mills. Otherwise, city commissioners l>e lievc, tlio city will either have to dis pense witli all new plans that will mean an expenditure of additional money anil pare the budget to a bare skeleton—or raise the tax rate to ten mills. The I .aw of Common Sense That the diversion of the water earnings can readily be accom plished is the prediction in municipal circles in the light of the opinions submitted yesterday by Assistant Solicitor E. Bruce Taylor, supported by ex-City Solicitor Thomas S. Har gest. While Messrs. Taylor, Hargest and ex-Judge M. W. Jacobs, who was also consulted by Mr. Taylor in the matter, frankly agree that the matter could be finally settled in the courts, they all believe that the adaptation of a liberal construction of the law on the subject would permit the city to act. Special acts of 1835, 1839, 1871 and 1873 relating to the borough and city, quoted fully by Mr. Hargest's opinion, contain all directions with regard to expenditure of water revenues, "but," declared Mr. Taylor, "it is my opinion that these directions have been super seded by provisions of a later general acts regarding bonded indebtedness, by the act of 1889 and by the probable fact that all of the indebtedness em braced by these old special acts have been paid in full." Notwithstanding 11 he fact that the Clark act permits council to take over the water de partment management, Mr Taylor be lieves the provisions for application of the water revenues as provided by the 1883 act still hold good Inconsistent? Furthermore, Mr Taylor points out, the 1889 act remains in force except where there are inconsistencies with the Clark act, and in his judgment there is no inconsistency in the earlier law Insofar as handling of water rev enues is concerned. Assessment for laying water pipe are still laid under the provisions of the 1 889 act he ex plains, and "To hold that this article is repealed by the act of 11)13 woukl strike down this power." The assistant solicitor refers to Judge Endlich's decision on the Read- Ing rases and declares that after all, "WAS MISERABLE," SAYS BARBER LUCAS Was Suffering From Indigestion, Nervousness and Run Down Condition XOW KEELS FIXE "Tanlac has surely been a good and faithful friend of me," says R. M. Lucas, a well-known barber, who lives at 234 So. 13th St., Harrisburg, Pa., "for Tanlac stayed by me when ,all other medicines failed and it has done me a lot of good. "For a long time X suffered from nervousness, indigestion and a gen eral run down condition. I had fre quent terrible headaches, I could scarcely at anything and my stom ach felt heavy all the time. "I couldn't sleep either and I used to wake up feeling so tired in the mornings, in fact, I felt as though I had ji;st finished an extra hard day's work. "As I say I tried all sorts of medi cines but they all failed to help me until I began taking Tanlac on the advice of some of my friends and since then I have noticed a daily improve ment in my condition. "Tanlac has driven all the poisons out of my system and I feel like a new man all over. My stomach is in fine condition so that I can eat and enjoy my meals; my nerves are strong as can be and I sleep like a log, wak ing up fresh, rested and ready for a big day'S work. "I can truthfully say that Tanlac has done wonders for me and I con sider it a most reliable medicine." Tanlac, the famous reconstructive tonic is now being introduced here at Gorgas' Drug Store, whep£ the Tanlac man is meeting the people and explaining the merits of this master medicine.

Gardner, New Castle, and chairman j of the law committee of the Pennsyl vania third-class city league and oth- ! era. Mr. Hargest contends that the | Clark act repeals the act of ISB9 and former special acts, thus abolishing j restrictions as to using the water rev- j enues except those relating to exten sions and improvements of the bor- | ough as provided by the act of 1835. j Ex-Judge Jacobs, Mr. Taylor points.

The safest course, therefore, until the matter is adjudicated, Mr. Taylor thinks, would be to continue the expenditure of j water department funds as provided I by the act of 'B9. The Conclusion "Wliile at first blush," sums up the assistant solicitor, "it might appear that the language of this act absolute- 1 ly restricts the application of surplus ; . water earnings remaining after full' compliance with the provisions of the act, to the purposes of the water de partment, I believe we are justilicd in adopting a more literal and coiunion sense construction." After expressing the belief that the intention of the 1889 act was to make the water department self-supporting and to insure its solvency, Mr. Taylor concludes: ••I do not believe (lie restriction wan intended to go further than to secure the payment of the cost of operating | the department and of the indebted ' ncss of or for the department, or I that it was intended to prevent any | additional surplus earnings from being; 1 applied as directed by council." 5
