Shenandoah's Water Supply.
The question of iuuruiihed ivutor
supply, in no far as it relates to tho
borough vutir works, liitsbciMi a sul
juct of much ilihcusslon for tho past
two or three years, both by tho mem
bers of tho Horoti);h Cotinuil ami tho
people of Sheimmloah nenerully.
The latter, booauo of the inadequate
supply during tlie season of drouths,
have experienced much inconvenience
and no little annoyance, resulting in
many consumers changing their con
nections from the borough to the old
water company lino.
The Borough Council has wrestled
witli the question periodically for the
past three years, and during that
time several propositions have boon
submitted by tho members of that
august bodv. At the last regular
meeting of Council, however, definite
action was taUen when tho water
committee submitted a recommenda
tion for the erection of a "storage
reservoir at the pumping station.
with a capacity of ;!0,(l0.(MHi gallons
of water." This recommendation was
adopted by Council with seven nieui
bers voting in the unintuitive and
four in the negative. The dam is
"estimated" to cost 10,000, and the
work isto bo done on "force account.
the contractor to receive 10 per cent.
of tho total cost of construction.
The TlKKALl) has published the
committee's recommendation in full,
v-jether with a detailed report of the
proceedings of uoiunsll, and since
then the taxpayers generally have
commented freely upon the subject.
To say that those members of Coun
cil who favored the project are being
censured is putting it mildly. Tho
feeling among the taxpayers gener
ally is such that there is eery prob
ability that an indignation meeting
will be called to protest against what
is generally considered a useless ex
penditurc of public money.
The advocates of the project esti
mate the cost of the dam to lie !j10,
000, but past experience in such mat
ters justifies tho prediction that the
total cost will reach nearer $(5,000
than tlie figures lixed by Chairman
Hell, of tlie water committee. Tlie
latter gentleman, if tlie proposed
reservoir is ever built, will realie
that Ill's knowledge in this respect is
limited
It is true that Shcuaudoult has one
of the most valuable water plants in
the state, and it is equally true unit
iiiiY-we-fi.iisln its maniigomentand
a more adequate waterwupply are ab
solutely necessary. There are mem
bers of Council, however, xvho do not
seem to grasp tho situation. The
resolutions presented by Councilman
James met with little consideration
at the hands of the majority, although
tho resolutions were based upon a
broader plane than those presented
by Chairman Hell.
When the erection of the borough
plant was lifht under consideration
the Hkhai.d strongly advocated the
purchase of the old plant, not at the
figures asked by the old water com
pany, but at a reasonable and just
appraisement by a disinterested
board. Unfortunately for the borough
and the old company, the feeling be
tween tho two readied such a state
that a compromise was out of the
question. Since then, however, many
of those who labored zealously and
without compensation - and some
times with abuse-for the success of
tho borough plant, now realize that
it would have been to the best inter
ests of tlie borough to be in control of
both plants, combining the pumping
facilities of the borough plant with
thev.uor Hhed and reservoir facilities
of ' the old company. Muny argu
ments can be advanced in favor of
this proposition, which is in lino with
the James resolution presented to
Council and which was so iguomini
ously 11 red in the waste basket by the
majority members of Council. Tho
resolution further recites that a com
mittee of citizens, In conjunction xvith
a similar committee appointed by
Council, ascertain tho amount for
which tho old plant can be bought or
leased, thus placing its lease or pur
chase in tile hands of those who mo
directly interested and who would
necessarily act for the best interests of
tho taxpayers. This, of course, did
not meet with the views of the men
who have combined to push through
the project of building a dam, and

From Mrs. A. W. Smith, f9 Summct
St , ltuliloford. Mo.:
" Fur several years I suffered with
various diseases peculiar to my sex
Was troubled with a burning sensation
across the Mtin.ll of my back, that nil
gone feeling, was despondent, fretful
nud discouraged! the least exertion
tired me. I tried suvernl doctors but
received little benefit. At last I de
cidud to give your Lydlti K. I'lnliliiim's

fect of the tlrs't bottle was magical.
Those symptoms of wenUness that 1
was nlllictod with, vanished like vupor
beforo the sun, I cannot speak too
highly of your vnlunble remedy. It is
truly a boon to woman."
From Mrs. Mkmssa I'iiilmp.i, Lex

'Huforo I began takingj-ourincdiclnc

xvho are anxious to create snug
berths for their friends. And the
taxpayers pay the tiddler.
The people are certainly indignant
over tlie action of Council. Argu
ment in favor of the erection of
tlie dam is wanting. True it is tlie
storage capacity will bo increased,
but not one cent of additional rev
enue xvill the borough receive for the
expenditure of this largo amount of
money. There is no guarantee that
the reservoir will be sulllcient to tide
us over the dry season, and at this
particular time the taxpayers are
in no humor to sanction so large
an expenditure. Tho IIkuald does
not propose at this time to enter into
an exhaustive discussion of the ques
tion, but will do so later on. Our
news columns, however, aro open for
a discussion along these lines on the
part of the taxpayers, who are in-
yited to give their views in as short
a space as possible. This will serve
two purposes. The Councilmeii will
thus be enabled togovern themselves
in accordance witli the viows of their
constituents, and it will, on the other
baud, afford those deeply interested
in the borough plant an opportunity
to give their views as to tlie best and
most economical means of improving
the plant and increasing the supplj

not nn idle stiuhnt. Thanks to his iron
constitution, he was able, with nil his dissi

beat the lecture room before 7 o'clock ill
tlio morning to listen to lteercn on history
and ethnography. An hour later he gave
ear to Wcudt on logic nnd metaphysics.
After that came an hour with a fencing
mnsti r, and then Hugo on jurisprudence
and Goschcn on some other Intricate topic
Dinner followed, mid then mathematics un

came play and such play!
Tho recreations of the Gottlngen stu

wcro frequent, anil the college fraternities
wero in fact little elso than drinking and
duelling societies. Illsmarck in his second
term was the leading member of the Ihui

in Gottlngen, though It mny bo sold to Ids
ctcdit that hit sagacity and ncuteness had
as much to do with his leadership (us his
capacity as a drinker and his power as a
swordsmnn.
It Is stated that he fought at lcn.tIJ0
duels, though theroare detailed records of
only four. One of them, singularly enough,
was with Windthorst, who, hi tho stormy
days of lilsmarck's power as a politician,
was one of his strongest opponents. Ap
parently the authorities did not learn of
any of Bismarck's contests, for, though tho
ofllcial records show that he was punished
four times, none of these punishments was
for fighting.
His first punishment was for ofllciatlng
in a secondary capacity In a duel between
an Englishman named Knight nud a cer
tain Ilaron von Gniliow. There had been
trouble between these two at a ball, and n
fight with pistols was arranged for tlio fol
