CITY VS.. WATER co.
Differences Probably Will Soon be
AmicaDly Settled.

The differences between the water com
pany and the city, regarding the water
main Across the river at Main street, are
still unsettled, but it is pro bal BILE that
they will be without recourse to he
courts.
The situation remains practically tn e
same as stated in THE AMERICAN last
week, except that the water company has
laid a pipe across the river under the
bridge, with the intention, it is assumed ;,
OF allowing he main to remain through
the abutments as at present, and connect
ing it with the line under the river by
elbows.
1t is to the use OF the abutments that
the city principally objects. Mayor
Davis and City Marshal Silvy have pre-
vented the company from continuing the
work at the bridge and threatened an in
junction.
1t is believed that an injunction will
not be necessary. The difference between
the city and the water company is really
small matter. The water company's
charter, it is understood, gives the com
pany the privilege OF running its main
through the abutment subject to "certain
restrict ions'.
The city asks the company to pay $50
for he privilege. The question simply is
whether that is a reasonable demand.
The water company thinks not, and has
offered $50. The difference, therefore,
is $50.
A tat iya Of hp tor
is expected in the city this week, and it is
probable that the matter Will be speedily
and amicably settled.

HON RIVER DREDGING.

Engineer Says Work Will Begin
Early in the Spring.
Many inquiries have been made of late
regarding the dredging OF Union river.
THE AMERICAN is able this week to state
authoritatively that work will begin on
or before May 13 OF next year.
a letter has been received from the en-
gineer in charge of the work, saying that
the contract has been awarded to the
Eastern Dredging Co. The delay is
due to the fact that the dredging com
pany has found it necessary to construct
a new plant, and that work is now under
way.
The contract calls for the beginning of
work by May 13, 1898.

No district in America presents, during the
Winter season, so many varied attractions rs
the State of Florida. Besides its delightful
climate, which to one estap ng from the cold
and unheathful changes OF the North seems
almost ethereal, il is pre-emineutly a land Of
sport and pleasure, Along its eleven hundred
miles of salt-wa coast and in its twelve
hundred frpsh-water lakes are fish of almost
every conceivable variety, from the migra-
tory tribes common TO Northern waters to the
mrpon, pompano, and others of more
tropical character. Nowhere in all our broad
land can the angler find greater variety Of
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer turkeys, bears, panthers,
and wild cats roam at large through the more
spalsely settled regions, while birds of all
kinds may be found in abundance through
ouf the State. The more novel sport Of al
ligator and manatee hunting may also be in
du sed in by the more adventurous tourist.
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves, its rivers and lakes, its boating and
bathing, its fishing and hunting, ard its
extensive forests Florida presents unrivaleG
attractions for the valetudinarian. the lover
Of nature, the sportsman and the explorer.

ItilroLd Company has arranged four per
sonally-cOnducted tours during the season Of
1897 leaving by special train January 26

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow It's
Excessive Use.

Common soda is al right in its place and
indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking
and washing purposes, but it was never in
tended for a medicine and people who use it
as such will some day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit
which thousands Of people practice almost
daily, and one which is faught with danger;
moreover the soda only gives temporary re-
worse and worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irritant to
the walls O the stomach aud bowels and
cases are on record whero IL accumulated in
the intestiues causing death by innamma-
ton or pertonitis
Dr. Harlaudson recommends as tho safest
and surest cure four sour stomach (acid dys-
pepsia) an excellent preparation sold by drug
gists under the name Of stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets These tablets are large 20 grain
luzenges, very pleasant to taste and contain
the natural acids, peptones, and digestive
elements essential to good Digestion and
when taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before it has time to
ferment, sour and poison the blood and
nervous system.
DR. Wuerth states that he invariably uses
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases Of
stomach arrangements and finds them GER
tain cure not only for sour stomach but by
promptly digesting the food they create a
healthy appetite, increase flesh and strength
en- the action of the heart and liver. They
are not cathartic, but intended only for
stomach diseases and weakness and will be
found reliable in any stomach trouble except

THE bill introduced by Representative
Clarency, at Harrisburg, affording protection
for building associations, is one Of the most
meritorious measures introduced so far this
session Itdefnes the strictly local building
associations and its object is to keep these
societies worthy of the fostering care of the
state. This bill is deemed necessary because
some large concerns doing banking and
trust business have been carrying on this
business under the building society title. The
business carried on by them is not CON
templated nor warranted under present laws.
If the bill offered by Mr.. Clarency is passed,
it viii separate these banking and trust com
panies, for that is what thoy really are, from
strictly CO. operative building associations
The bill has the approval Of the Banking De
partment and of the Building Association
League Of Pennsylvania. The League during
its twenty-one years of life has never asked
for additional privileges, and this bill really
curtails or limits their business, and confines
them to stricter lines Of economy and use
