There is nothing that has a more deleter

than tire excessive use Of tobacco. Pain and
tenderness around the heart, an oppressive

throat, discomfort from sleeping on the lett
side and smothe1ng spells at night when the
sufferer has to sit up in bed to breathe are
the most common symptoms of a weak heart
Smokers who ieel these symptoms and who
do not understand their meaning should be

wares, we think that the bill was
broad enough in its allegations and
prayer for relief to require a definite
settlement Of the rights in the coli
troyersy. Instead Of dismissing the
BILL we think decree should have
been entered finding the registered
Delawares entitled to share equally
with the Cherokee citizens Of Chero-
kee blood in the allotment Of lands in
the Cherokee country, with the con-
dition that, if there isnot enough land
to give to each citizen Of the nation
100 acres, then the registered Della
wares shall be given that quantity, to-
gether with their Improvements. In
all other respects, the Cherokee citi-
zens, whether Of Delaware or Cherokee
blood, should be given equal rights in
the lands and funds of the Cherokee
nation. The decree dismissing the
bill is 50 modified as to conform to the
terms just stated, and, so modified, is
affirmed"
The decision finally disposes of the
controversy between the Delaware
and Cherokee Indians over matter
of l57, 900 acres Of land in the Chero-
kee Nation. The direct question in
volved was whether the Delawares
exercised merely the right of occu-
pancy of the lands, or whether they
had acquired permanent rights in the
same. This is decided in the interest
of the first proposition-namely, that
the Delawares acquired no permanent
rights, with the exception that, when
the allotment takes place, each Della
ware and Cherokee shall receive an
equal portion Of the lands, but, in the
event that there is not sufficient land
to supply each Delaware with an equal
portion, then the registered Delawares
only, shall receive 100 acres. 1t is es-
timated in round numbers that there
are about l,2OO Delawares in all, Of
whom only between 200 and 300 are
registered.
The representative Of the Delaware
Indians. after the decision, said that
the supreme court would be asked to
issue a supplemental decree, defining
what is meant by registered Della
wares, " whether those who were origi-
nally registered or those on the regis
ter who are now living.
The suit was brought in the United
States court Of claims as tribe by the
Delawares residing i'm the Cherokee
country, and individually joined in by
certain others suing for the surviving
registered Delawares. their children,
descendants ana personal representa-
tiyes, against the Cherokee Nation,
for the purpose Of determining the
right Of the Delawares "in and to the
lands and funds of said nation under
the contract and agreement with the
Cherokee Nation dated April 8, 1857.
The court of claims dismissed the
bill. The supreme court aflirms this
decision, bat modifes it.

perhaps YOU would like TO know the
exact decision SO far as the Chero-
KEGS are concerned, the decisi0nof the
court Of claims Is affirmed Ia toto by
the supreme court; that is. the court
decided that the language In the agree
ment as to the 100 acres conveyed only
a life estate To each Delaware, and
that when The Delaware died his in
terest went to the tribe, just as the
estate of the Cherokee by blood. And,
also. that in the allotment to the liy-
ing registered Delawares, each viii
get 100 acres, and the living descend
ants OF registered Delawares stand up
on the same footing as Cherokees by
blood. IL is a glorious, complete vic
tory. Yours truly

note in a convention which nominated
Judge Parker, a Preaby terrain for the
Presidency, and ex Senator Davis, an.

this old Blue Stocking Valley will lie
about unanimous for Parker and Davis.
Eurlng the eloquent Invocation. this
convention and the great audience
rose to their feet and in reverent and
impressive silence to it's close. 1t is
stated that the hush which fell upon
the vast and turbulent assemblage was
very marked.
The prayer is as follows:
sAimighty God, our Father which
art in heaven, in all our ways we would
| acknowledge Thee in order that Thou
| may direct our paths. We bow our
| selves in Thy presence and acknowl-
| edge Thee as the God in W hose hands

OUR WATER SUPPLY.

Our City Council has for some time
been wrestling with the water problem.
1t Is known that this city long since
voted $500, 900 to bring in soft water,
but upon investigation and at the. ex-
pense of several thousand dollars, a
report WAS made which sets forth that
$500. 900 wins wholly inadequate to the
end. This is very trying when every
night we are reminded that We have no
water when we go to a spigot after IL
O'Clock. In the event of a late storm
and our house being struck by light
ming, we would be powerless to stop a
cOnfitgration. In such a case the man
way out at some point, possibly the
pump house, would have to be found,
Weakened up possibly and dressed, and
sent to turn on water. The water
would have to fill the pipes and several
other things done, such as getting the
engine out and the hose connected be,
fore fire could be played upon. If
the blaze were only little thing when
first seen, those who had not buckets
filled before the water supply at the
fatal hour of IL M. had been cut off.
could do nothing toward quenching
1t. But 1t is not to fight fire alone that
people are often distressed by the fail
ure to have water in their houses after
midnight. Sickness in the house has
put some people to the necessity of
sending to the nearest spring for a
bucket fulk
We desire to call attention to our
neighbOring town of Harrisonburg.
That town has water brought dis
lance OF about IL miles, and the sup
ply, whilst not as great as We would
need. is a splendid one. The cost of
installing their plant, we learn, was
only $50. 600. and home there is sup
piled with water at a cost of only about
$40 per year. and there is no limit to
its use.
The engineer who took this matter
up was Mr.. Davis of the University
of Va. 1t is possible for such work
MIR. Davis suited the conditions better
than the person Staunton employed
from Boston. It Is possible that the
Boston man had in his mind Boston
prices for labor and land, if not for
other things. 1t is to be hoped there
fore that his report may not entirely
discourage our officials. 1t is possible
that the water from Blue Ridge can be
brought to the.top of one Of our hills
near Staunton. without pressure on
the pipes, Or conduit. and there |
emptied into reservoir and the costly |
iron piping which is such an item in |
all estimates can be eliminated, ex-
cept from the reservoir to the city. |
Certainly. as it is. we are very helpless,
and our condition almost hopeless.
