THE ElLTER sNAkE.

Wilmington. in the language OF the
streets, must be taken for Jay"
town, filled with people who are ready
to succumb to line Of plausible talk
and purchase gold bricks by the dozen.
Doubtless the readers of the various
local papers have been edited in the
last few days I'm reading articles on
sand filtration These are learned dis.
cussions which call to our attention the
danger lurking in impure water and
making 1t very plain that filtration
must be resorted to. Then these artl-
cles go on to show what a wonderful
system that which is being installed at
indianapolis Is, and then attention is
called to the contractors-The Sand
Filtration Corporation-successors to
The United States Sand Filtration Com
pany.
These articles are paid advertise
ments. and are doubtless intended to
create the impression that we should
award "a contract to the successor Of
the concern which secured two such
remarkable contracts from this city. It
win be observed that these paid adver-
tisements occur just after suit has been
brought on the old contract. We are
left to infer that the purpose is to force
the Water Commission into making a
third contract in consideration Of hav-
ing the suit dropped.
Now since somebody is so anxious to
keep the people Of Wilmington inform
ed on the matter Of hltration. we pro-
pose to add few thoughts omitted in
these advertisements. In the first
place. there are probably several hum
! dred engineers in the United States full
ly competent TO draw plans for the hest
filtration plant There are hundreds OF
contractors willing to bid on the con-
struotion. Numerous filter plants have
been built or are being built without
the assistance or the patents OF the
sand Filtration Company.
There is only one way that this. OF
any other company should be allowed
to secure the contract. and that is by
open bidding under plans prepared bs
competent and dlsinterested engineers
We propose to watch this snake.

Moderation in Summer.
From the Cleveland Leader.
Professor Harvey W. wiley. chief Of the
Chemistry Division of the Agricultural
Department. and a very noted dietician, in
laying down the postulate that there must

months. If health Is to be maintained un-
der heated atmospheric conditions. Is
earnest and firm IN his inhibition against
alcoholic drinks and ice-cold beverages
commonly known as "soft." Professor
Wiley points out that there are statistics
to show that those exposed to the rays OF
the sun must be particularly careful in
observing abstinence since in 4 great ma
iority OF cases of sunstroke the predis-
posing cause was found i'm the use Of
liquor. AS the alcohol has too much heat.

RULE NINETEEN.

Rule Nineteen OF the County Com
mittee has been abrogated at last. It
took three meetings and strenuous
effort to do it, which illustrates anew
the Importance Of knowing what you
want and never letting up till you have
gotten 1t.
And now the man who has enjoyed
the emoluments of fat Office. due to
the generosity Of his party friends is
free to go to them and ask for four
more years In the pasture. It is now
right and proper under party rules for
him to ask those who are outside Of the
crib to lick their chops for another
four-year period while he further sat-
ishes the cravings Of an appetite which
has grown by what it has fed on.
1t is matter which concerns as little
save as Il reveals the enormous capa-
city of mortals TO appropriate the good
things of life for themselves. The vot-
ers still have their option. of course, if
they will only exercise it. But Will
they? Hasn't individuality I'm politics
been lost, save in the party leaders
Isn't Independent action becoming q
rare commodity? 1t looks like IL.
But we may not have heard the last
of rule nineteen. Some of these days
there may be elected a very popular
official who is not subservient to Ger.
tain gentlemen who are now so po-
tent In that case the old rule would
be-enacted. AS il was made to de-
prive a very good Republican Of a Sec
ond term and repealed that it migh
not deprive another Republican of Z
second term, there is nothing to pre-.
vent its being brought out again wher
needed. the cobwebs brushed Off anC
made to serve again. Pack It away IL
oamphor; it win be needed again.

At the meeting Of the Republican
County Committee. held on Saturday
afternoon, at the Young Mems Repub-
lican club, Rule No. 10 adopted two

When a rat undermines the wall and

Among all the remedies in Miller

cures among its customers that Miller

not cure you, bring back the empty box
and it viii cheerfully return your

Any one who has dyspepsia, indi-
gestion. headache, dizzy feeling or
liver troubles should take advantage Of
this chance TO be made well without
any risk OF spending their money TO
no purpose. Mi-O-na will cure; will
regulate the digestion: win enable any
one to eat what he wants. If IL does
not do all this. the medicine will not
cost you a cent
Miller Drug Co has sold a great
many boxes of Mi-o-na In the last few
weeks and has yet TO receive the first
complaint from any customer. Such a
record is simply marvellous and speaks
volumes for the merit of the remedy.

CARING FOR JACESON'S WIDOW

Camden, June 27.-The home of the late
Alexander Jackson, here. has been sold to
Samuel T. Mifhin That fact alone is
Insignificant, but behind the portieres Of
family difficulties this sale represents a
much wronged and aged widow saving
herself from becoming a charitable charge
upon the community.
This widow has passed the S6th milestone
Of her life, beside being an invalid, re-
quiring the constant care Of nurse.
Two years ago Alexander Jackson re-
ceived considerable newspaper notorietv
by 2romiscuously distributing among his
relations the greater part of his fortune
Of some $4,000
When that long looked for Angel Of
Death claimed him last spring. and his
remains were placed beneath the great
granite monument that he had erected in
the Odd Fellows Cemetery, near here
about the time he was receiving news
paper encomiums for his alleged philan-
thropic deeds, and upon which he had en-
graved an epitaph composed by himself
and consisting of some 100 words. the last
will and testament Of Alexander Jackson
was read.
Then it was discovered that this phil
I anthropist who had gained widespread
notoriety by his charitable acts toward
others, had by his will left his aged AMI
infirmed mate who for thirty years toiled
by his side. destitute excepting for the
house which has just been sold for
$500 and s7OO in mon2y.

A SOLUTION.

The Otto Gas Engine Company
threatens to abandon its project Of
building its new plant IN Wilmington
because It is not satisfied with the
arrangements for securing gas. II re-
fuses to have any dealings with the
local gas company no matter what
sort Of terms it may offer; and 1t is
said that we may lose this plant unless
we grant a franchise to persons repre-
senting the Otto Company to manu-
facture and sell gas in all parts Of the
city. AS we interpret the remarks OF
the company, they do not want to enter
the gas business but they do want
some assurance that they are to be
treated fairly
Now the Board OF Trade and the
Merchants Association are deeply con-
cerned. as they wish TO see this in
dustry located in Wilmington, and are
therefore. concerned. Well, then We
have a suggestion to offer.
Let the Board Of Trade and the Mer'
chants Association, or responsible
members thereof, agree for themseIve
to enter into a contract with the ott'
Company to furnish gas for its plan
in such quantities, at such price anS
under such regulations that may b
deemed equitable. The Otto peopl'
could have no objections to dealings
with our reputable business men, anc
they would have no difficulty in carry
ing out their contract. The Otto peo
pie could not refuse to make such az
anrnenacnt.
