In view of the recent pollution of the
water supply the officers of the Annap-
oils Water Company beg leave To make
the following statement as To the cause
thereof
For several weeks the new Impomd-
ing Dam had been collecting water grad
ually, until OH Sunday, August 4th IT
contained about S,000,000 gallons. On
the evening of that day thunder show
er deposited one or two million gallons
more, without changing the spring-like
clearness of the water.
But on the next evening and again OH
Tuesday morning, there occurred vio-
lent thunder storms, the latter of which
must have been accompanied by some
thing approaching cloudburst, since
by twelve O'Clock of that day the Dam
had collected an additional ten or eleven
million gallons of water.
The greater part of this water fell in
the upper end of the valley, through
which our stree ms run, and, being more
than the branches could carry, overran
their banks and swept down to the Dam
through new channels, formed Us the
water swept OH. Spread over large
area of land which is ordinarily dry. this
volume of water churncd the earth into
mud and brought it down into our stor-
age reservoir.
Owing to an accident to our new pump
the High Service Reservoir had been al
ready nearly emptied, so that we were
compelled either to let our mains go dry
or pump this muddy water, which latter
was considered the wiser alternative.
Finding that the foreign matter in the
water gave no evidence of settling, on
saturday the Dam was cut, in order to
drain the Storage Reservoir. On Sun
day morning this cut was increased and
yesterday the water had practically dis
appeared.
Barring unforeseen occurrences the
quality of the water should lie very much
improved by tomorrow, and it is hoped
that it will have Tegained its usual puri-
ty in very few days. In the meantime
no charge will be made to our consum-
ers for the muddy water furnished by
the company since Thursday, August
Sth, and until furhter notice. This de-
dnction will be made OH the bills for the
current quarter ending September Both

A COMMON CAUSE or SICKNESS
In Warm Weather Nothing So
Dangerous as Decayed Foods.

Every one knows or ougpt 70 know
that decayed foods are poisonous. Boards
of health seek to prevent their sale.
We now have in mind the result which
follow the decay aud decomposition OF
foods after they have been eaten, for un-
less digestion occurs within reasonable
time after our meals, decomposition
sets I'm.
If dyspeptics will stop and consider
for moment some OF the symptoms Of
their trouble, such as disagreeable breath,
eructations of gas or bad taste in the
mouth, they viii understand that they
all must come from decaying foods that
ought properly TO have been absorbed
into the system.
Spots before the eyes, dizziness, sleep
lessness, dyspeptic headaches are but q
few of the effects following the absorp-
tion into the bleod of poison developed
from decomposing and undigested food
that lies in the stomach.
1t WAS recognition OF this important
fact that caused the Mount Lebanon
Shakers to devote SO much of their time
to the preparation Of remedy for
dyspepsia, and nothing is more efficient
than the Digestive Cordial which they
have recently placed on the market
The Importance Of theii invention
will be appreciated when we realize
what proportion of the community
are victims of some form OF stomach
trouble. Thousands of pale, thin peo-
pie have little inclination To eat, and
what they do cat causes them pain and
distress.
It's action is so prompt that relief fire.
quently follows the very first dose. IL
restores the appetite and increases the
weight. Plumpnas and strength take
the place of Weakness and that care
worn expression which points out the
dyspeptics in every community. The
local druggists are now giving away in
teresting descriptive pamphlets.

NAVAL NEWS.
Report of an Important Test
Movement of War Ships.

The report of I.ient Mason, who made
the test of the LennaTd bullet-proof
shield at Indian Head, was received at
the Navy Department yesterday. The
piece tested was 50 by l44 inches i'm size
and Is inches thick. Ii is generally
believed that the steel plate is the
strength of the Lennard invention. n
the penetrations of the bullets indicate
that the steel Jackets had lodged against
the plate.
The Newark has reached Cape Town
from Montevideo. She WAS sent across
the Atlantic to be docked.
The Cincinnati has sailed from New
port to Key West.
IL is probable that the Atlanta will
leave before the arrival of the relief ship
is il is thought there is no danger from
tilibustenng expeditions leaving the
Florida coast.
The Olympia will leave San Francisco
about the middle of this week, going 10y
way of Honolulu TO the Asiatic station
to relieve the Baltimore us flagship of
the station. 1t is stated at tie depart
ment that there have been no orders
given the Olympia Ia make a rapid trip
across the Pacific, or even part of the
way, and il is probable that the report
originated in talk of the officers, who as-
sert that the Olympia is as fast as the
Columbia. At the Navy Department
it is said that the Olympia is TO remain
at the Asiatic station for three years,
and that the department would not risk
an injury 10 her by sending her at full
