EDITOR JOURNAL:
This dreary evening finds me in
fine spirit and health endeayoring to
pen few lines to the dear old jour
NAL in which l wish to bid my friends
a hearty good bye for I leave League
Island Barracks on Saturday, March
%, for Man Island, California, when
we join battalion and then proceed
to the Philippine Islands. Eighteen
privates and a bunch of non-commis-
stoned officers go from here, and So
privates and their n-commissioned
officers leave at the same time for
Guam. That will make little more
room in these barracks for they have
been crowded.
Have been having splendid weather
until Sunday and since then we have
been tormented by cold rain which
does not make guard weather very
pleasant at least | failed to find it
pleasant yesterday and last night,
but my guard work is complete on
League Island for few years for we
will be busy preparing for our trip
from now on. We are going to the
Islands for term of years.
| hope the friends who have writ
ten me and received no reply will not
get impatient for | will answer all
letters when am settled again.
Since last wrote | have witnessed
several fine sights which were new to
me also took part in several incidents
such as commissioning of the new
cruiser Pennsylvania; departure of
the Colorado and joining the process
sion last Saturday when all the ma
rines lined up and saluted the colors
of Rear Admiral Dickens as they were
hauled down and he was relieved as
Admiral of the yards. A few moments
later we saluted the colors of Captain
Craig as they we're hauled up and he
took charge of the League Island
navy yard Rear Admiral Dickens
will be transferred to the battleship
Texas which will be his flagship.
AS | have plenty of work to enter
tain myself for the rest of the even
ing I will bring this to a close by
promising a longer and more inter
esting letter in the future.

II. r. Hillard, Esq,
Perrysburg, Ohio.
Dear Sir:--I thank you very much
for your invitation to be present to-
night at the meeting for the organiza-
tion of an Improvement Society in
Perrysburg, with the immediate pur-
pose, as | understand, of furthering
the proposed installation of a water
works system in the village. ] regret
that | am, by reason of another en-
eagement, unable to be present but !
beg to assure you that | am in hearty
accord with the movement.
1t has for some time seemed to me
that the greatest need of our village
towards opening the way for its prop
er development is q complete system
of water works and sewerage, and /
am thoroughly convinced that the
erection Of a water works plant is
the first step to be taken. After that
is done the sewers can be built as
needed and paid for by assessments
levied upon the property Denetlted
but sewers without the water to flush
them properly, seem to me OF llttIe
value If not a positive menace to any
proper sanitary condition of the VII
lage.
The present plan, l am informed,
is for the municipal ownership of the
water works plant. The general ten
dency throughout the country is un'
uuestionably towards municipal own
ership of public service plants of this
kind, and, while the private owner
ship plan undoubtedly has its advan'
tages, it seems to me that there is no
insurmountable objection under the
present conditions in Perrysburg, IL
nancial and otherwise. to public own
ership. In saying this | assume, OF
course, that both in the erection of
the plant and in its operation straight
forward business methods are to OBJ
tain, and that the best men for the
respective purposes are to be select
ed to perform the work without the
slightest preferment, either political
or otherwise, except for ability in the
required lines
Wishing you and those acting with
you the best success in the contemp-
lated organization look forward with
real pleasure to a substantial and last
ing progress in our village and eX-
press my earnest hope that this pro.
gress may come through the harmoni'
ious action of all it's citizens working
together for the common good of all.
Yurs very truly,
+. C. AVERII.L.

Association, Perrysburg, Ohio.
Dear Sir:
1t affords me pleasure to acknowl-
edge your favor of March 30th, rela-
tive to the installment of water
works plant in your village.
This is a most commendable move,
and should not receive a negative bal
lot In my judgment nothing is more
appreciated by people desiring nome.
Your little town has every natural
advantage to make it, not only "a city
of beautiful homes" but one of bust
ness enterprises as well, delightfully."-
situated, broad streets, excellent
shade, and with the addition of few
such improvements. will at once be
recognized as such, and return to
every property owner ten times its
cost, by the increased value of their
property alone.
| expect in the near future to erect
a permanent home just outside your
corporation, and will cheerfully co.
operate, or render you any assistance
possible.
Wishing you the success your enter
prise deserves, / remain
Most sincerely yours

Mr.. Barber it will be remembered
recently purchased the Lucas proper
ty, just outside the corporation line,
paying at the rate of $1,000 per acre
for tho same.
After carefully going over the above
then consider the fact, that while you
may be a resident of Front or Second
streets, and by virtue of your proxim-
ity to the river may not be greatly
in need of a sewer system, neyerthe-
less, you should not be selfish in this
regard, for 1t is an undisputed fact;
that no part of the town has built up
more rapidly in the past few years,
than what is known as the Fifth
Ward" and 1t is not fair, to say the
least, to compel the enterprlsing citi-
zens of that portion of the town, to
do without modern improvements,

Dear Sir:-I have your favor of
March 30th, asking me for any sug-
gestion which l may have as to the
desirability of proposed water works
for Perrysburg,
1t seems to me as though this is
one of those questions TO which there
is only one side. 1t is conceded that
Perrysburg, by reason of its natural
location and conditions, is one of
the most desirable residence commu-
mites. The town was beautifully and
literally laid out, having exceptionally
wide streets which permit the plant
ing and growth of beautiful shade
trees, and also the construction of all
necessary street improvements, and
yet leave ample space for street
lawns.
The construction of a suitable water
works will enable the people to keep
their lawns green, the streets sprink-
led and will encourage the construc-
tion of fine residences with modern
conveniences, which are impossible
without water works.
| feel a deep interest in Perrysburg
and very anxious to see it grow and
improve as a residence town. l am
very sorry that l shall not be able
to avail myself of the benefits of the
water works because l am too for
from town, and would gladly pay my
proportion of the expense if my place
were located so that we could have
the advantage of the system. | have
no doubt that the people will give
the project practically a unanimous
support.
Yours very truly,
Dictated. THOMAS H. TRACY.

Bishop Spalding III.

Bishop John f.. l.. Spalding is at his
residence in Peoria, ill.,, suffering from
severe paralytic stroke which attacked
him yesterday afternoon. While his
condition is said not to be dangerous, 1t
is serious enough to arouse the fear oil
his brother, Dr. Leonard II. Spalding,
who is attending him. The entire left
side of the Bishop is affected and for
several hours alter the stroke he was
unable TO speak Leeches applied to
his head resulted in bringing back, in
measure his speech, and tina. evening
he was able to converse with those who
are with him. The Bishop is 90 years
old, and his friends fear another and
more serious attack. In the morning
he complained that he was suffering
with a slight attack of neuralgia, but
thought nothing much aboutit. Shortly
before 4 o'clock his housekeeper was
startled by thebound Of something falling
in the Bishops study. She ran hastily
to the place and found him lying on the
floor and attended with violent emesis.
He was partly unconscious and wa'
unable to rise. The bishop had imProv-

Do Not Suppress a { ough.

When you have a cough do not try to
suppress it, but remove the cause. The
cough is only a symptom ofsome disease,
and the disease is what you should cure,
then the cough will stop of itself. The
most common cause of coughing is a
cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress
the cough, aud preparations containing
chIoroform, opium, ETC., are used Tor
that purpose, but they do not cure the
cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy on
the other hand does not suppress the
cough, but relieves it by removing from
the throat and lungs the mucus which
obstructed the breathing and allaying
the irritation and tickling in the thrott.
1t also opens the secretions and eiiec'
tually and permanently cures the cold as
well as the cough. For sale by Gibson

BRYAN Praises Roosevelt.

William J. Bryan was rendered a
luncheon at Memphis by President Hard
wig Peres, of the Jackson Club. The
same club gave banquet last night in
honor OF Mr. Bryan. Addresses were
made by Mr.. Bryan, Senator Carnack
aud others. MI. Bryau's subject was
"Watchman. What of the Night"
After speaking of the causes which, in
part, contributed to the recent defeat OF
the democratic party, Mr.. Bryan said the
platform adopted at Kansas City ex-
presses the views OF more democrats
than any platform adopted since. He
praised several recommendations made
by President Roosevelt, and spoke OF
him as doing many good things Ir.
Bryan closed as follows:
"Just now President Roosevelt gives
some promise of beginning reform
movement. lie recommends legislation
which will inform the public in regard
to campaign contributions. This is lar
reaching recommendation, and should
receive the earnest support OF every DEM
ocrat. He also recommends an enlarge
ment of the scope Of the interstate COM
MERGE law. This, too, is step IN the
right direction, and he receives the sup
port of all democrats in any effort he may
make to bring the railroads under moro
strict control. II the President, with the
aid Of the democrats, accompanies any
reform, the public will secure the bene-
fit of it; if even with democratic aid he
fails, the educational work which he does
will help the democratic party in future
contests.

The ST. Asaph Gases

After beng out an hour aud quarter
the jury in the Circuit Court OF Alex
andria county reported about 10 O'Clock
last night that they bad been unable to
agree upon a verdict in the case OF Louis
Murdoch, who is being tried under an
indictment for selling liquor without
license at St. Asaph. Judge NicOl order
ed the sherifftO detain the jury over night
1t was rumored about the courthouse
that the jury, which, under the code, is
composed of seven men, stood six to one
for conviction.
Murdoch claims to be member OF the
Hiawatha Pleasure and Social Club,
which has headquarters at st. Asaph.
II is claimed that the institution IS
bona fde club, aud that Murdoch did
not violate the law in dispensing liquor
there.
Judge Nicol stated that a bona fide
club wa, "not gotten up for the purpose
of evading the law in regard TO the sale
of Intoxicating liquors or of eyadng the
law in other respects.
The early part Of the day was con-
sumed in argument Of technical ques'
tons growing out of the pleas filed by
the defendant and the demurrer filed by
the prosecution. The demurrer to the
pleas was sustained, and on motion of
Mr.. Mackey the plea thai Murdoch had
acted within his rights as member OF
the club was stricken out.
Five witnesses were called by the
prosecution Three of them testified to
having bought Intoxicating drink at the
Hiawatha Club when they were net
members of the organization, and one Oh
them identified Murdoch as the nan
who sold the liquor. Revenue Commits
siouer c. b. Graham stated that no
license had been granted or applied for
by Murdoch, and Clerk Of the Court
Rucker identified twelve reports OF the
club setting out the names OF its mem
bers.
Murdock took the stand and swore
that be might have sold the liquor. II he
did sell it be had done so by mistake
thinking that the purchasers were mem
bers of the club. County Treasurer
Wibirt was called by the defense to
show that the license fee OF $3.50 had
been paid by the Hiawaiha Club.
Argument on the demurrer to the
Indictment in the poolroom case was
postponed until 10 O'Clock this morning.
Today the jury in the Murdoch case
returned verdict OF guilty and a sen.
tence of thirty days in Jail was fixed and
a fine of two thousand dollars imposed
An appeal was noted and stay OF ex
ecution secured.
The st. Asaph pool room cases iheI
came up and Tuesday evening at
O'Clock was fixed as the time for hearing
arguments.
