ANOTHER IMMENSE DAM.
II Is to BE Constructed by Spring
Brook Water supply Company.

The Spring Brook Water Supply COM
pany is about to erect an immense
dam on Gardner Creek, near Yates
vile. Work will be begun about April
l and it will take 500 men until about
October to complete it. Bids will be
received for the construction of the
dam.
The reservoir will be constructed in a
deep ravine which is peculiarly adapt
ed for the purposes required. At the
point where the wall is to be built the
distance between opposite mountains
is 1000 feet. The wall will be seventy
feet high and when the reservoir is
filled the accumulated water will ex-
tend for fully mile between the noun
tains,
Gardner Creek is separated from
Worden Creek, on which the company
now has a large reservoir, at the point
where the new reservoir is to be built
by a chain of mountains nearly two
miles wide. The reservoir on the for
mer is to be constructed nearly oppo-
site that built last summer on the lat
ter, and the stone for the retaining
reservoir is to be built much the same
quarry, if need be- by building a rail-
way about one mile in length. The
reservoir is to be built such the same
as the other, with a wall fourteen feet
thick at the base and three feet thick
at the top. The supporting wall of
earth, however is to be much heavier
and will contain about 100000 cubic
yards.
The dam will contain 100000 gall
Ions of mountain water The building
of this reservoir will cost at least SIPS
600. The other one cost about $150,O00

which characterized this play on its for
mer appearance In this city. The cast
with few exceptions was that previously
seen. The story OF the play is too well
known to need repetition at this time. 1t
is society drama embodying the idea
of the worlds injustice to women. The
power of each climax in the strongly
constructed plot was well sustained by
Mr. Sears and Mr.. Preston In their lead
ing roles Miss Elizabeth Holloway was
charming Rosamond and invested that
rather strained character with much brill
lance and dignity. In the closing OF the
third act was fine piece of work which
brought repeated curtain calls.
Mr.. Turner and Mr.. Eeane made good
impression, and Mr. w. H. Greene gave
an ungracious part mrch force and viril-
ity to secure considerable applause.
The stage setting was most effective
and the costumes were striking I'm their
accuracy and beauty. One of the fea-
lures of the evening was the work of
Bauer's orchestra. particularly after the
first act, when the sweet music of The
Bohemian Girl was rendered.

is the weapon with which she conquers her
world Almost every woman believes that
she possesses at least some one attractive
feature and strives to make the most of that.
But mere regularity of feature Is not the
most attractive form OF beauty.
Mankind is more influenced by the bright
glowing vitality of perfect health. A classic
cast of countenance will not make woman
attractive and captivating, If she Is pale,
thin, weak and nervous, or has pimply
complexion or unwholesome breath.
These complaints are due 10 imperfect
nutrition. The digestive and blood making
organs fail to extract the needed nourish-
ment from the food, and the liver IS too slug
gish TO cleanse the blood of bilious irnpuri-
ties The entire constitution becomes weak
and poisoned.
The only perfect antidote for this state of
things is DR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t gives power TO the digestive and
nutritive organs TO make an abundance OF
pure, rich, highly vitalized blood, which
perrneates the whole system with the sweet
ness of purity; the beauty OF womanly vigor
and animation.
1t creates solid, healthy flesh and natural
color; clears the complexion; dispeIs wink
les; rounds out the form and imoues the
whole physique with the irresistible natural
magnetism of perfect health.
