Mr.. Bird insists he came here for
his health, but officials say his presence
Just now and for months hence is Of
more value to the Gould system than
IL he were in Chicago, leaving the
southwestern field without lieutenant.
The political work of the Southern
Pacific at the Santa Cruz convention
was so clearly a campaign for new
weapons against Gould that it is neces-
sary for the latter to keep trusted men
IN touch with the situation.
Then there is a great obstacle of a
lack of worlSmen for construction work
on the Western Pacific, and 1T is no less
an obstacle because the Hartman
forces are, it is charged, trying to di-
vert labor from the Gould camps.
From the offices of the Missouri Pa
cific and the st. Louis, Iron Mountain
& Southern railway companies new
batch of letter has been sent to agents
of all the Gould lines urging the neces-
sity for hiring 5000 men to be sent to
the e. b. and A. L. Stone company
contractors at Oakland, for employ
ment on the Western Pacific, with
promises of Lig wages and service for

Special to The Herald
PORT JERVIS, Pa, Sept. I'm. D.
Westbrook, an insurance agent, who
has returned from Twin Lakes. Pike
county, Pa, says that because of the
open winter the fish have multiplied
almost beyond belief.
They bite at anything. Three wo-
men went out fishing. Being afraid Of
worms they put chewing gum on their
hooks. They caught big messes of fish.
The landlady of the cottage where
they were stopping shook the table
cloth over the water to get rid Of
crumbs. When she returned she had
three ten-inch trout in the folds of the
cloth. They had jumped into it to get
first whack at the crumbs.
Three little girls from this cottage
went in bathing yesterday and were
driven out on land by the fish attacking
them. A young woman was washing
the mud from a rubber shoe. 1t was
torn from her hand by two big bass,
which fought over it with other fish
until it was torn to shreds.

DANGER IN WATER; TAKE BEER
cornins's Aqueous Supply Blamed for
Paralysis, Gall Stones and
Appendicitis
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CORNING, N. Y, Sept. 11-"This
city's water supply is responsible for
much of the appendicitis prevalent
here" is the declaration of DR.. F. S.
Swain, secretary of the City Medical
society Not only does it cause ap-
pendicits, but it is also responsible for
nine-tenths of the paralysis cases, as
well as heart disease and gall stones" "
This indictment of the drinking water
of Corning is concurred in by other
members of the medical association. 1t
is explained that the percentage of
alkali in the water is high, and when
it gets into the human system causes a
scaly formation in the arteries. The
scale becomes brittle, breaks off, and
the little PARTICLES are carried in the
liver, causing gall stones, and to the
appendix.
A water commission will spend sew
eral hundred thousand dollars if neces-
sary on a new supply. Temperance ad-
vocates are aghast at the way beer
drinking has increased, for "hygienic"
reasons,
