He was considered Que of the most

has done more to bring the Water
Department to its present sttteUf
etticiebcy than any other man who
held the position before him. There
is one thing certain the money will
not be thrown away 10 the pur.
chase of this ground. The only
question is whether so large plot
was necessary lor the needs of the
Water Department to build their
proposed new reservoir. Then it
will cost several thousand dollars
to run the pipes from this city to
the property and back to Whining.
ton. A reservoir such as is con-
templated with other needed i'm.
provements, will cost in the neigh
borhood OF half million dollars.
Wilmington will have need to grow
much faster than it has been to pay
the interest on the investment IN
the shape OF increased water rents.
We think that the department has
the authority to make the purchase
and City Council can in no way
hinder them. 1t puts City Council
in bad plight and they will have
TO make the best of il. In making
up their yearly budget City Couu-

forty thousand dollars. But from
present appearances there will not
be a dollar to spare as it will take
all and more Of this years surplus
to pay for the new reservoir site.

they will indeed be lucky. We are
not alarmlsts but these hard facts

Grippe Caused an Adjournment.

Grippe caused a sudden adjournment
of common pleas court yesterday, and
an aggravating abrupt termination OF
the important case of the Northern
Coal and Iron company against the
Scranton Gas and Water company,
which, after hanging fire for nearly
two years and consuming three days
in trial, was almost ready to be SUBJ
mitted.
Two of the Jurors. William Frank,
of Dunmore, and Milton Johnson, Of
Jessup, were complaining severely Of
colds and other affections indicative of
the oncoming of the all-popular mall
ady. Yesterday morning they failed to
put in an appearance. and sent word
that there was no telling when they
would be able to be around.
Neither side was willing to submit
the case to ten Jurors, and as Judge
Kelly deemed it inexpedient to take a
recess to await the recovery of the
stricken jurors, he continued the case
indefinitely.
The Importance of the case, the great
inconvenience caused the prominent
men who We're parties to or witnesses
i'm the case, and the nice little penny
that goes for naught in paying fees to
the galaxy of leading lawyers of the
county who were engaged in the suit,
makes the inopportune illness of the
jurors all the more aggravating.

HAVE YOU ANY or THESE
Symptoms of a Very Common Trouble

There Is no disease so common in the
United States as catar-h because u
appears in so many forms and attacks
so many different organs.
Ii Is n common mistake to suppose
thai catarrh Is confined to the nose
and throat Any Inflammation of the
mucous membrane wherever located,
accompanied by abnormal secretlons,
is catarrh. Catarrh of stomach or
bladder, or intestines Is nearly as COM
mon as nasal catarrh and much more
serious. although It Is true that stom-
ach catarrh and catarrh of other IN
ternal organs is the result of neglected
nasal catarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which so far as tested seems to be re-
markably effective In promptly curing
catarrh. wherever located. The pre-
paration is sold by druggists generally
under the name OF Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. and in addition to being very
palatable and convenient. possesses
extraordinary merit, in many cases
giving immediate relief from the
coughing. hawking and constant clear
ing of the throat and head, those
symptoms with which everyone Is fa-
WIN ever SulSNti
colds In the head ami throat.
Catarrh is simply a continuation OF
these symptoms until the troubla be-
comes chronic and grows gradually
worse from year to year.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are COM
posed OF Hydrastin. Eucalyptol. Guai-
acol and similar antiseptics and ca
tarrh specifics, from which 1t will be
seen that no secret is made Of the in
gradients and also that no mineral poi
sons are used, as is the case with
many we'll known catarrh medicines.
For catarrh OF the nose, throat,
bronchial tubes, for catarrh of stom-
ach, intestines or bladder no rrepara-
tion is so safe and gives such rapid
and permanent results az Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them al zoe. for
full sized package. You can use them
with assurance that YOU will not con-
tract the cocaine o. morphine habit
as the results from this catarrh cure
are apparent from the first days use.
