To the Mayor and Council.

The storage reservoir is exposed to
surface drainage poisons and animal
pollution.
This fact has been known all the
time. but you and the people have
been content so long as no harm has
grown out OF it.
Now. however, the reservoir. in the
minds OF physicians, is dividing re-
sponsibility with the deadly well for
several typhoid fever cases-one fatal.
1t Is credibly stated, moreover, that
cattle and hogs have been seen in the
shallow portions of the reservoir.
Whether true or not, there is nothing
to prevent such pollution.
1t is your first duty, therefore, to
lay water-tight gutter all round the
upper circumference of the reservoir
to arrest and carry off all SUI face
drainage, and
1t is your second duty to enclose the
reservoir, including gutter, with a
strong, high iron fence.
In order to do this, and do it at once,
stop all street improvements, and, if
necessary, borrow the money for the
purpose.

The Crusade Against HOgpens.

The State Board Of Health had six
citizens of Hagerstown summoned be-
fore court for maintaining hog opens
and slaughter-houses, some Of whom
like a few in Frostburg. contended
that "hog-pens don't stink" They
were also belligerent, one man saying
that ''Health Inspector Mltten would
come ON his place at his (Mitten's)
peril
On the other hand, Mitten is report
ed to be brave and determined of
fcer, as the following incident will
show:
Recently he went into Carroll county
town to inspect filthy slaughter-house.
The owner refused to allow him to go on the
premises and turned loose ferocious bulldog.
Inspector Mitten drew two revolvers, pointed
one at the man and the other at the dog and
commanded the man to chain his dog. The
man did SO. The inspector then inspected
the sIaughter-house and found filthy place.
He ordered the nuisance abated, which was
uOIe, anu IL Is Sdlu tIlt HAL WIZ lcSlStCu liiS
inspector now keeps the cleanest slaughter
house in the State.
The Hagerstown case came on be.
fore Judge Stake Monday. A number
of witnesses were heard and Tuesday
he declared that all hog pens, such rs
were kept by the defendants, are
nusances and must be discontinued.
There is a little loop-hole for escape
in the judges order, but if there is a
clean hog-peL in the universe, it is in
the close neighborhood of the North
Pole.
Mr.. Mitten is heading this way and
will probably do for Frostburg what
it's Councilmen, for local political
reasons, have been afraid to do-pro-
tect the public health.

GEN. wEYLER AN ABLE OFFICER
Accounts Differ About Spanish and
Cuban Atrocities.

City of Mexico, Aug. 30.-Charles Ack-
ers, the London Times correspondent in
Cuba, has just arrived, and in an inter-
view with the Mexican Herald says:
General Weyler is an extremely able
officer, perhaps the ablest man for the
position to be found in all Spain. The
martial law established by the Spaniards
in Cuba since the outbreak of the insur-
rection is absolutely the same as the mar
tia1 law anywhere. 1t is certainly impos-
sible to predict when or how this de-
vastating struggle will terminate The
Spanish government is firmly determined
to make use of every resource in order
to retain its hold on the island. You may
consider it as good as settled that the
Spanish government will spare no sacri-
flee toward retaining its sovereignty.
Whether right or wrong, Spain mag
ines she can crush this rebellion
In regard to the accounts of the Span
ish atrocities, he said:
81 can not state from personal obser-
walton that have run across any act of
wanton cruelty inflicted by the Spaniards
on Cubans, but of course this is war, and
the Spaniards can not afford to be led
by false information or any other covert
or open sympathy with the Cubans. Nat
urally there have been gross eXaggera-
tons made on both sides. From my per-
sonal knowledge I can say that the
weight of evidence seems to be against
the Cubans. as it is well known fact
that they hang and shoot suspects as well
as inoffensive people freely, and do not
hesitate about it. This is the time of
heavy rainfalls in Cuba, and much can
not be done in military way"

THE SCHOOL CADETS WERE GAME
Assaulted by n Mob, They dubbed
Their Cans.

Omaha, Aug 3O.-The Council Bluffs
high school cadets returned from Oak
land today. where they attended the re-
union of the Pottawamie Veterans AS
ISOLATION, and had an animated experience
with a mob.
The cadets won distinguished considera-
ton, and about all the honors they could
carry away. They -Aceived a warning
that a mob had been organized to tear
their tents down, smash up their accout-
rements and company property and run
them out of the camp, supposed to be a
plan of the rival militia organizations.
There were SO members of the company
present, and they prepared to defend
themselves and the states property IN
their possession.
A few minutes before o'clock this
morning a mob appeared, 200 strong, arm
ed with all kinds of weapons. The ca
diets had thrown out double guard line,
which met the hoodlums with their guns.
Lieutenant Charles Bayles met the leader
of the gang and warned him away. The
warning had the effect of attracting the
attention of the leader to the young Of
knocked down.
The cadets dubbed their guns and
rushed to the rescue The leader of the
mob was roughly handled in the melee
that followed, and several of the cadets
received bruises and black eyes that rem
dered those members temporarily useless
