Through the columns of your paper
wish to ask the Health committee of the
borough, as am informed they are the
proper ones to look after all matters per
tanning to the health of the borough, why
is it that when you instruct each and every
citizen and property holder in the borough
to clean streets, alleys, cut is, white
wash cellars and many other things that
you could not legally enforce compliance
with did any one so refuse, that you ne
elected and still neglect the most vital and
most important matter that is conducive
to the health Of every man, woman or
child in the borough and that is the water
we drink and use in preparing the food we
eat. The water furnished by the Water
Co. to the citizens Of the borough actually
stinks so bad and is so disgusting that
horses and cattle that are brought into the
borough actually refuse to drink it, yet we
are compelled to pay outrageous rates and
are compelled to use this foul sinking
disease breeding water, and notwithstand-
ing all these facts you as health commit
tee have failed to even aliude to the con-
dition of a water supply, the condition Of
which is an outrage ana an imposition on
the citizens of the borough and must nee
essarily breed and cause much sickness,
why not have this Water Co. indicted before
our Grand Juries for maintaining a nui-
sance and compel them to ereet.and main
tain filter large enough to furnish US with
filtered water as their charter calls for
pure water, this can be done and done at
once without one days delay, why should
this matter be delayed, there is too much
at stake, in this matter. the health Of the
town is too Importation you TO neglect it
you cannot afford to risk an epidemic OF
typhoid fever any longer, this Water Com
pany Immediately collecting their quar-
ters pay. No, sir, pay you must and rates
that are outrageous and unjust, or they
shut you off. Every consumer of water
in the town should refuse to pay for their
water until the water is filtered and pure
So far the most vital and impartant matter
should be righted, then see that your
neighbors clean up streets, alleys, cut
weeds and keep their cellars properly
white washed. There is no necessity OF
having any red tape in this matter, have the
Water Co. indicted at once, give them to
understand that the citizens of the borough
yet have some rights that they are bound
to respect. 1t is not necessary to put on
Kid gloves when you handle this Water

Republicans Elect Ninety Out of the 10B
County Omsers.
Topeka. Kan, Nov. 9. 9.-Returns re
ceived to-day from various points in
the state seem to assure a sweeping
victory of the Republicans over the
Populists. The Democratic and Pro-
but small figure. The returns are
still incomplete but from full and es-
timated returns it is probable that the
Republicans have elected their officers
in at least ninety counties of the los
in the state and have probably elected
ten district judges, the PopnIists two
and the Democrats one.
The Populists still claim that tn ey
have carried the state and that d full
count of the votes will bear out their
ante-election predictions. The tele-
grams received by Chairman Breiden-
thai indicate Populists gains over the
vote of 1891, but his Information is so
meager and from such remotely scat
tered localities that it is not satisfac-
tory to the unprecedented mind. He
claims that the early dispatches were
based upon the returns from the pre-
cincts in the cities or near the rail
road stations and that no definite in
formation had been received from rur-
al communities where the Populist
strength lies
Congressman Jerry Simpson ex-
presses the greatest confidence that
the Populists have carried the state
He believes they have made gains, in
proportion to the vote cast. of from
ten to fifteen per cent over the vote of
1892. If he be correct in his estimate
the Populst plul ality is from 10, 900
to 20, OOO

DYNAMITE BONES THROWN IN
A THEATER.
EIGHTEEN PEOPLE WE'RE KILLED.
A Spanish Anarchist Hurls Two OF the
Explosives From Gallery During the
Performances of an Opera at
BaxceIOns, Wrecking the
Building and Causing .
Terrible Panic

BARCELONA, Spain, Nov. 9.-While
fully 1000 people of the very highest
society of this city were last night en-
joying a performance of the opera os
William Tell" in the Liceo theater, a
magnificent opera house, sometimes
classed as the largest theater in Eu-
rope, two dynamite bombs were sud-
denly hurled from the topmost gallery
into the midst of the stalls on the
floor of the house
One bomb exploded with q terrible
report which shook the theater TO its
foundations and killed six men and
nine women and wounded scores of
others. Three other people were
killed in the panic which followed
The other bomb fell into the lap of
lady from whence it rolled harmlessly
to the floor
For moment the Liceo was filed
with smoke and dust. Falling glass
and plaster which caused a rafting
din which added to the horrors of the
situation and cries of dismay and pain
increased the feeling of terror
The terrified crowd. fearing that at
any moment another bomb might be
thrown into their midst, completely
lost all sense of control, and there
was a fierce rush for the doors, men
and women fighting with each other
as they crushed weaker ones beneath
their feet in She efforts to escape,
leaving the wounded and dying behind
them, tended only by a few of the
braver. In this mad rush many old
people and children were severely in
jured through being trampIed under
foot, while others were severely
bruised and crushed by the outpo ur-
ing crowd
The stalls presented a terrible ap-
pearance. The part where the bomb
exploded was a mass of Splintered
wreckage amid which lay mum bers of
dead bodies, some of them SO terribly
mangled as to be beyond recognition.
Throughout the night the theater
was surrounded by dense crowd of
people who packed the the Rant bla de
Capuchines to the utmost and who
were with difficulty kept back by a
strong body of police. Many were
the expressions of bitter indignation
from all sides against the Anarchists,
this dynamite bomb outrage fol-
lowing so closely upon the
attempt made by Pallas to
take the life of Captain General Mar
tinez Campos. There is, however, a
universal feeling of CONSERVATION at
the helplessness of the government in
this emergency. All the houses
inhabited by suspects have been
searched and several arrests have
been made. Among the first were an
Italian named Saldini and q French
man named Aragon. 1t is presumed
that the actual bomb thrower escaped
and that the police are simply round
ing up the Anarchistic haunts with the
hope of finding some clue to the actual
peri etrator of the crime.

Governor Isoies' Home Ward Carried by
jackson.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 9.-Frank
D. Jackson, Repu blican candidate for
governor, is e.ected by a plurality of
about 5000 more than President
Harrison received in 1892.
Only about one-t third of the voting
precincts had been heard from to-day
but the returns from scattered pre-
cincts all over the st tie show such a
steady average gain for jackson that
there is no doubt of the result. The
balance of the Republican ticket is
elected by large plurality. Six hun
dred precincts give Jackson, Repub-
lican, 76,299; Boies, Democrat, 81, 403,
a Republican gain of II, 500.
The Legislature will be Republican.
Out of twentyfour senators to be
elected the Repu blicans elected seven
teen. Out of 100 members of the
house the Re oubllcans will have about
65. The Populist vote in the state
will hardly exceed $1,000 and the Pro-
hibition vote not more than a. 900.
Governor Boies'home ward at Water
loo gave Jackson 216, Boies 135, Re-
publican gain of II.
