THE RIGHT MAN.


The borough officials and especially the
members of the water committee, are con
graduating themselves upon the fact that the
newly-elected water superintendent n. NJ
Stout, is demonstrating to the people that he
is the right man in the right place" Mr.,
Stout is not only fast acquiring thorough
knowledge of the details of the plant but Is
inaugunting a number Of improvements in
the management Of the water works. He
is systematizing the work connected there
with, and this alone will result in great
saving in the operating expense account at
the end Of the year This is a feature that
has been wanting in the management Of the
plant since it was erected.
This people of shenandoah have one of the
best water supplies and the most valuable
plant in the interior of the state and it will
be a source of much qualification to them to
know that its management is in good hands.
Mr.. Stout. being one Of the promoters Of the
project and a large property owner, takes a
natural pride in an economical and successful
administration of the water department 1t
seems to be his one desire to retire from
office with a record that will reflect credit
upon his management and those responsible
for his appointment. The taxpayers OF
Shenandoah can, therefore, rest assured that
the water plant is in good hands, and will bo
managed upon business principles instead OF
in ship-shod manner.
The members of the water committee,
comprising Messrs Gable, Boehm, Mcclure.
Hand and James, are all practical men with
a thorough knowledge Of the plant, and viii
second every effort on the part Of the
superintendent in inaugurating any reform
that may be deemed necessary.
With his introduction into Office Mr. Stout
Immediately set to work making needed re-

was pulled apart two or three months ago by
the cayiug in of the mine workings, and

their usual supply Of water, and are pryfuse

and less water is used-the broken valve at
the gatehouse Of the distributing reservoir
was taken out and the new one placed in
position without accident and in an exceed
ingly short time, considering the character Of
the work in hand. In this work the Super
intendeut had the Ealuable assistance and
the benefit of the knowledge of Councilman
A d. Gable, chairman Of the watercommittee,
who remained upon the scene Of operations
until the work was finished. Not only is the
superintendent making improvements in the

Gently introduced in the public schools Of
several European cities. In Brussels, the
children attending public schools were re-

their way to and from the school. all such
apparently valueless objects as old metallic
bottle capsules, tin foil, tin cans, paint tubes,
refuse metals, etc, and deliver their col

In the period from January l to October l.
1895, or within eight months, the following
amounts were collected: Tin foil, 1925
pounds old paint tubs, 22O pounds bottle
capsules, 4,4l5 pounds scraps Of metal, 1921

PLUNGED INTO A CREEK.


Motorman Deserts His Car and rhres
Passengers Are Drowned.
Portland, Ore, April 28-An electric
car on the Mount Tabor line iumped
the track yesterday at East Morrison
and Eighth streets and plunged throueg
bridge into a creek 25 feet below.
Three bodies have been recovered. The
dead are: W. W. Blanchard laborer;
Newton Hanson, Is years old; Miss
Katharine Bailey
There were "a people in the car when
the accident occurred, but it is be-
lieved only three were killed. A num-
Der were badly bruised and cut by
glass in the car windows.
The accident occurred on the bridge
which spans the slough at the foot of
Long hill When the car reached East
Eleventh street, two blocks from the
scene Of the accident, the motorman
lost control of the car, which was then
running about IS miles an hour down
the steep hill. When he realized that
the car was beyond his control the
motorman jumped and left the car to
dash down the incline with its load
of passenger Near the bottom there
is a curve in the track, and when the
runaway car reached the curve II
/ jumped the track. The car ran about
/ 40 feet and then the bridge gave way
! precipitating the car into the water
/ below.
The conductor and several passengers
| jumped before the crash and escaped
with only a slight shaking up. The
passengers were mostly laborers OF
their way to work.
The water where the car went dowl
was not more than FIVE feet deep
which enabled most of the passenger
to escape drowning. Had the acciden
occurred 40 feet further ahead 1t /
probable that every person on the ca
would have been drowned, as tn
water is 75 feet deep.

Catapph.

Catarrh is seemingly one of the
most complicated of ailments, and
one which the doctors are absolutely
unable to cure. The reasons for
this are easily explained. Catarrh is
a blood disease, and only a blood
remedy can effect it. The various
sprays, douches and washes which
are employed as a local treatment,
may, for time, alleviate the
trouble, but no one ever knew of
such treatment producing a cure.
They can not reach the seat of the dis
ease, as the experience of many
sufferers will prove; nothing can do
SO except a real blood remedy.
In the treatment of Catarrh, S. S.
S. has demonstrated the fact that It
reaches deep-seated diseases, which
other remedies can not touch.

paper dealer, of Athens. Ga, writes:
