ance was received from the bonds, and the
bonds were only "water."
The plant, costing but $4,000 cash out
lay, brought to the corporation 1874 per
cent per annum from the city alone.
The waterworks company has increased
the capital stock to $l,500,00O, and doubt
less the dear people Of this city are paying
Il fair rate of interest upon the whole
amount
l am informed that about the year 1886
the president of the water company ap-
peared before the county board of equali-
zation and took a solemn oath that their
entire plant was worth but 100000 for the
purpose of taxation.
Much better would il have been had the
city built its own waterworks at that time,
as they have paid for it many times over
1t is not too late to get on the right
track even after long years of oppression.
This city can build new waterworks for
bonds voted, reduce the price one half, in
crease the sale of water 100 per cent and
pay the whole amount in fifteen years.
This would increase the comforts of our
citizens in a boundless measure.
cunnOJ DelleNe luul Tue water com-
pany possesses "vested right to furnish
water, as they have been more than COM
pensated for every dollar invested; neither
are the citizens of this city under any sort
of an obligation to grant the company a
new franchise at the expiration of the pres
ent one; and let the people raise the cry
now, "no renewal of the water franchise"
and sink every member of the council and
the mayor into oblivion if they should con-
slider for one moment the granting of a new
franchise or extending the old one. Lay
the foundation NOW to acquire our street
railways; acquire the electric lights; open
a municipal coal yard, as has been done in
Boston; build public parks; and prove to
the world that we are the most enlight-
ened, progressive and virtuous people on
earth.

take DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t works wonders. By restoring the nor
NAL action of the deranged organs and
functions, it builds the flesh up to a safe
and healthy standard promptly, pleas
antly and naturally. The weak, emaciated,
thin, pale and puny are made strong
plump, round and rosy. Nothing so effec-
tive as a strength restorer and flesh maker
is known to medical science; this puts on
healthy flesh not the fat Of cod liver
OIL 1t rOuses every organ of the body to
activity, purifes, enriches and vitalizes the
blood so that the body feels refreshed and
strengthened. If you are too thin, too weak,
too nervous, it may be that the food assim-
ilation is at fault. A certain amount of
bile is necessary for the reception of the
fat foods in the blood. Too often the liver
holds back this element which would help
digestion. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery stimulates, tones up and invigorates
the liver, nourishes the blood, and the mus
cles, stomach and nerves get the rich blood
they require.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be con-
stiutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses Of from 10 drops TO

WHAT STATISTICS
HAVE PROVEN!
What Medical Science Has Accomplished.
THIS GREAT DISCOVERY is OFFERED FREE TO
ADVOCATE AND NEWS READERS.

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases Of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
Kidney trouble is in itself so lnsldiOus
and deceptive that thousands have some
form Of 1t and never suspect 1t.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy that
would positively overcome these danger
GUS troubles.
But not until recently was the discov-
cry made. Doctor Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years Of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand result,
announced the discovery OF Swamp
Root which has proven itself a most
wonderful cure for all diseases Of the
kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp-Root has proved such
remarkable success in curing kidney
and bladder diseases, 1t has also proved
equally invaluable in the cure Of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stomach
troubles and in the regulation and cure
Of all uric acid troubles.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case that special arrange
ment has been made by which all readers of
the Advocate and News who have not al
ready tried it, may have free sample
bottle of Swamp-Root and thus test for
themselves It's wonderful curative prop
critics.
If you will send your name and full ad-
dress to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
n. Y, sample bottle will be sent, abso-
lutely free by mail postpaid, also book
telling more about Swamp-Root and
containing some Of the thousands upon
thousands of testimonial letters received
from people who owe their good health,
in fact, their very lives, to the wonderful
curative properties Of Swamp-Root
This great modern discovery is for sale
at most drug stores in fifty-cent and one
dollar sizes. Don't make any mistake,
but make a note Of the name, SWAMP
ROOT, DIR. Kilmers Swamp-Root, and
remember that 1t is prepared only by
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, NJ Y.

offer and write for free sample bottle,

postal situation 10 constantly improv-
ing. There are seventy-six postoffices
on the island, about forty of which are
conducted by native postmasters. These
native officials are doing excellently,
and l have been greatly interested in
the conscientious way they perform
their duties. One young Porto Rican
has made a remarkable record: he
hasn't made the slightest error since he
was appointed postmaster, and no
American could take greater pride
than he does in his official labors.
"One of the most encouraging fea-
lures to me of the situation is the de-
sire that many of the natives show to
learn to speak the English language
On the vessel that brought me to New
York We're a dozen young men whose
purpose in coming to the States was to
acquire a liberal English education.
These will return to Porto Rico better
equipped than their brethren who have
remained at home to take part in the
pursuits of civil life, or perhaps in adj
ministering the government Thus will
come about the gradual Americaniza-
ton of the country. which will make 1t

Would Deport Negroes.


birmingham, Ala, Aug. AT the an
nual conference of the presiding elders
of the African Methodist Episcopal
council of Georgia and Alabama, which
met here today, Bishop Turner, of
Georgia presiding, q resolution was In
trodueed at the instance of Bishop
Turner and adopted, calling upon con-
gress to appropriate 100000. 900 for the
purpose of deporting the negroes from
this country to whatever place or places
it may be deemed best.
Bishop Turner in supporting the res
olution declared that the determined
alienation between the whites and
blacks would never be harmonized UNI
til separation. He did not share in the
belief of some that a truce could be
patched up through Christian influence.
but regarded separation as the only so-
luton of the race problem.
He added that half the amount Of
money recently spent by the govern
ment in wars would have helped its
coiored citizens to locate where they
would be beyond temptations which
now seem TO disgrace and infernalize
them, If reports are to be believed.
Other prominent leaders shared In
this view. The conference condemned
llawlessness by the bad elements of both
whites and blacks.

unnecessary and unjustifiable. Neither
is there any doubt that the desire to
humiliate somebody was the controlling
and influential men in the county were
not In the delegation.
Mr.. Christian is represented as a
Boss. If he is BOSS" he has al
ways used his power most inoffensively.
1t was George Christian who gave to,
Grinneli, representation in the county
by precincts instead of by township,
thereby largely increasing her influence
in county politics. He is known and
trusted by every public man and poll
tician, republican and democratic in the.
state of Iowa, and no mans voucher
Christian has been the mainstay of the
Sixth district and he has never failed
to take care of his constituents.
So far as Mr.. Roberts is concerned,
he had nothing more to do with this
matter than had. He is a Gear man,
but this is the extent of his activity,
and think ii will be conceded thae this
is not spernicious' To throw mud at
either him or Christian or Ray is wholly
uncalled for, and is mighty poor poll
tics
Now, as to Mr.. Ray. the convention
was not after Ray at all. Mr.. Tkayers
Informant, that young republican" is
clear off his base. The convention
knew where Ray stood. think l vio-
late no confidence when say that Mr..
Ray is an admirer of Mr.. Cummins. and
liz a member of the legislature would
probably have Il desire to vote for him,
but he was willing to sacrifice his per-
sonal preferences out of consideration
for Mr.. Christian, and because of the
high esteem in which he Is held here,
and for this reason he opposed instruc-
tons. If there is anything dishonor-
able about this can't see 1t.
Now, as to instructions. with all due
respect, to MIR. Rainsberger, who is so
cock sure that Judge Lewis will vote
as instructed, and that Mr.. Christian
will break his neck to get on the front
seat of Mr. Rainsberger's coach. You
can count on Judge Lewis vote for
l.Gear just as safely as on Gen. MacAr-
thurs. To maintain the instruction is
binding on Judge Lewis is absurd. He
represents Poweshiek and KeokulS, and
/ he long ago announced his position and
pledged his vote to Gear. He would be

QUAY HAS "A FIGHT.
Colonel aud Licutenant-C Col onel Put

Colonel ana OMel tut
Forward for state Treasurer.
Pittsburg, Aug. 4.-Senator Quay's fu-
ture depends largely on how he viii,
satisfy the faction in the republican
party clamoring to make Col. A. u.
Hawkins of the Tenth Pennsylvania
and his lieutenant colonel, James Bar
nett, candidates for state treasurer.
Congressman e. f. Adhesion of Wash
ington county says that Barnett has not
been faithful to the party, and he shall
not have the nomination. He had the
Washington county committee, the
home Of both men, indorse Col. Haw-
kins for the position.
Quay favors Barnett because he has
been tried and found faithful. Rather
than follow the career of Governor
Hastings in his fight against Quay,
Barnett. who was deputy secretary of
the commonwealth, resigned when the
bitter combine fight was on some years
ago. Col. Hawking is bluff old SOL
der who cares neither for diplomacy
nor party leaders, and, if nominated
and elected, will run the Office to suit
himself, irrespective of Quay. Hawkins
has gained a place in the hearts of
Pennsylvania citizens that will COM
pei Quay to treat him with respect:
hence he has held out to Col. Hawkins
the promise of the nomination of con-
gressman-at-large, a position held by S.
A. Davenport of Erie.
Congressman Acheson is said to fear
Hawkins popularity and wants to side
track him from the race for congress.
AS there are four counties in his dis
trict, and should two representatives in
congress come from the same county
one of them will likely be eclipsed. Ach-
eson has defied Quay and Joined forces
with his foes. Political partisans and
followers of both factions are eager to
know the verdict from the soldiers
when they land.
