ALL ELEMENTS OF DOUBT RE.
 MOVED.

One of the most important cleo
 tions ever held in Prescott will
 take place next Tuesday. It is not
 an election in which a selection oi
 this man or that man is to be made
 to conduct the routine business of
 the city, but it is one in which the
 future destiny of the town is in-
 volved. No man of intelligence aud
 candor can help admitting that if
 there is to be any great growth to
 Prescott, it can only be accomplished
 by an addition to our present water system and by the construction of a system of sewerage. Without these we must stand still or retrogade
 The great problem heretofore has been as to how and where this water supply can be obtained. Nearly every other man Tou meet has had a theory. The city council has em- ployed its city engineer to make exhaustive investigations in regard to the matter. His work was gone over by five or six outside com petent engineers. A committee of citizens has made an investigation of the various proposed sources of supply. These have all agreed upon 8 proposition. Col. Schuyler, a gen tleman of national reputation, man of very great experience in this business, was employed to prove the work of the city engineer, the advis- ory board of engineers and the com mittee of citizens. With very slight l notifications, he approves of their work and submits very exhaustive report on the subject, favoring it City Engineer J. J. Fisher, in a talk on Thursday evening, gave the re- suits of actual measurements of the woter in the two streams proposed to be utilized, covering a period of eighteen months From these it is shown that there is practically no doubt of the streams furnishing the ater.
 All tb' elements of doubt possi- !. Dle ha .ng been thus eliminated rom the proposition it would seem that no argument needs to "a used Q secU an almost unanimCus vote on the subject, as no one can be found who does not admit the necessity of the improvements.

George Eliof.

Much surprise has been expressed at the keen sense for business shown in the letters of George Eliot quoted in Mrs. Oliphant's book about the Black woods. But it turns out that the letters were really dictated by George Henry Lewes, who was an able business man and looked after her affairs so closely that, in spite of the comparatiyely small bulk of her work, she left large fortune behind her, all of it earned by her pen during a career of 2I years.

Beware OfsOintments For Caiarrh That

As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely de range the whole system when enter ing 1t through the mucous surfaces. such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reou- table physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. halIs Catarrh Cure, manufactured by t.

Troops From whipple Go to Mobile


 According to the assignment oI troops, as published recently, the Huh infantry, Col. DeRussey com manding, has been ordered to Mo bile, so that the troops which left Whipple last Saturday snd which arrived at St. Louis on Sunday will probably have 8 very brief stop there if they stop at all. As the regimental commander chafed at being stationed at Whipple and was anxious to get away from there, the prospect of a trip to Cuba and a chance for active service in fight ing the Spaniards will be just to his liking, after the forced enuui of several years at a frontier garrison. His friends here congratulate him on his prospective good luck of get ting an opportunity for active service and will expect good reports from the l1th infantry in the field under the command of it's gallant and courageous colonel.

Delaware River Islands.

Few persons who travel from Whining
ton to Philadelphia by water are aware
to which State the various Islands which
they pass in the Delaware belong. TIE
Reporters Nosegay in Philadelphia
Record In speaking Of the matter says:
"An old law book dug up by
Thomss Stout of the City Solicitors
Office, gives the Information that in 1873
thve commissioners from New Jersey
and three from PrnnsvIvania were ap
pointed to determine the ownership Of
the island, and their report was approved
by the Legislature Of 10th States. A
general rule was laid down the islands
should be owned by the State to whose
shores they lay nearest, but 1t was defni.
teIy stated that Little Tinicum and
Windmill Island should belong to Penn
sylvsnia, while Pet'y's Island should
b.long to New Jersey. Windmill Island
has been bodily removed by the steam
dredges, hut if it forms again as it may
in years, and the land first APPEARS
nearer the New Jersey shore, that State
can claim it, for the agreement stipulated
that any islands which might later ap-
pear in the Delaware should be subject
to the general rule"

A Thankful Patriot.

Rev Herbert Il. cAsson, of New
jersey, is a very thankful man, and
breaks into verse in the following
happy strain TO prove IL:
I'm thankful that the sun and moon
Are both hung up so high
That nortch robbers hand can stretch
And pull them from the sky.
IL they hung low. have no doubt,
Some corporation ass
Would legislate TO take them down,
And light the world with gas
I'm thankful that the shining stars
Are far beyond our reach,
And that the rolling planets, too,
Are deaf TO hnmau speech;
IL they were near, I'm very sure,
Rich men would own the skies,
And manage this whole uniyerse
By private enterprise.
I'm thankful that the God OF all,
Whose laws We must obey,
Has changed his plan for making man
by shaping him from clay;
II he had not, it's very clear
'Twouid be n doiefnl case
Some men would form Dig clay trust
And stop the human race
