JUDGMENT I
Councilman Wurtntold Councilman
Devers not to mind what the Herald
Bald nbout the repalrlugof the flue In
the First ward, but It took lilm a short
time to get Into an ungraceful discus
sion with that gentleman on nu other
matter. There la no doubt that Coun
cilman Devers stepped over the boun
dary when he attacked Mr. Lamb and
that an apology would not be out of
place; and, at the same time, ab ex
planatlon Is due from Mr. Wurm as to
why he choked o It. Air. Devers when
he called attention to the flue in the
First ward building. The fact that
the Herald called attention to the
evil cannot excuse Mr. Wurm. The
Herald has that gentleman's calibre
down to a point. Mr. Wurm, no
doubt, means well, but the methods
, he adopts to accomplish the good work
he plans are such that when the time
arrives for him to put them in opera
tion he finds the machinery blocked
by the results of his own indiscretion.
As an example, the discussion of the
charge made by Mr. Severs is at point.
Mr. Lamb answered the charge iialm
ly, and Mr. James, while issuing a
challenge for proof, behaved in such a
manner that his opponent could but
use civil language. Mr. Wurm, on
the other hand, plunged into the flood
of heated debate and distinguished
himself by threatening to summarily
eject his opponent.
Mr. Wurm should remember that,
while councllmen are servants of the
people, they hold positions that should
command and maintain dignity and
respect. While Mr. Wurm has been,
in many respects, a good councilman,
his term has been studded with the
aols of a man who Is not guided by
sound judgment, and we regret ts say
that as his term Is drawing to an end

the studding seems to become more
prominent.
Wo will Btlll persevere in the hope
that Mr. Wurm'a prejudice against
the Herald will not curtail the per
formance of his duty to the people,
and we respectfully nsk him to vlelt
the house where the fire occurred on
Thursday and ascertain whether the
apparatus in use as a chimney was
such as the borough ordinances re
quire.
When residents of the neighbor
hood say that the place promised to be
a source of a good Are on five different
occasions it is certainly Improper for a
member of Council to treat a report in
that connection in the manner to
which Mr. Devers' remarks were Bub
jectcd on Thursday night.
With the completion of the electric
railway Shenandoah will want to throw
off its borough clothes and become a
city.
While all sensible people of town
will acknowledge that a perfected and
reliable electrical flro', alarm system
will be of incalculable advantage to
the borough, it is nevertheless the fact
that those better acquainted with the
financial condition of the borough feel
timid in assuming the responsibility.
But now the inevitable ptesenta it
self. Council has adopted the system
and we should accept as a beneficial
evil. While several of our council
men do not think the borough is able,
financially, to put it in the system,
perhaps, upon reflection, they will be
able in the next four mouths to ar
range the condition of affairs bo that
the burden will be less heavy. If the
contractors are held to their agreement
and apparatus meets with expectations
tho investment in the fire alarm ap
paratus will be found far more profit
able than that on the hill the stone
crusher.
The establishment of borough
water works will mean an undertak
ing of the people, hence all who have
the undertaking in hand should walk
the chalk line and not "carry water
an both shoulders."
A siph of relief escapes from the
people in consequence of tho report of
the joint committee on water works.

"For tho aching back stuuld it bo

an Allcock's Prus Plaster is an excellent

"For pain in the bach wear an Allcock's

on my part to reason with him was In vain
I nude an effort to explain to his lordship
