DRINKING FOUNTAINS.

The weather yesterday and today
takes us back some years TO the time
when drinking fountains for man and
beast were advocated, ard to more
recent time when well known firm
of this city offered to install several
drinking places for horses in the city
free OF cost
The proposition seems to have
been buried as nothing has been
heard of it recently. OF course this
means of allowing the poor dumb
brutes an opportunity of quenching
their thirst on hot summer day,
might be the means of giving the con.
Germ which offered the throughs lit
tie free advertising. yet we believe
the beasts would appreciate the adver-
Using as well as the cool water which
would quench their parching thirst.
Let the city council dig up this Offer
and take some action in the matter be
fore all the hot days are gone.

In short time the state convention
will meet at Charleston to nominate
a full state ticket. OF course, the fight
in the primaries has been over the GU
bernatorial contest. And now as about
all the delegates have been chosen
one would presume from the Newspaper
reports that both Mr.. Swisher and Mr..
-Scherr will be nominated for COVER
nor. Both are claiming the nomination
on the first ballot. 1t is somewhat
strange that the correct complexion
of the delegates cannot be determined
before the convention meets. 1t is to
'-be hoped that the fight in the conven
ton will be OF such nature as not to
hurt the successful candidate 1t the
coils.

1t now looks as If William Jen-
Jennings Bryan will instruct the del
egates to the national convention
which meets at Denver to nominate
him on the first ballot. After this
is done he viii name the candidate
for vice president. The platform
has beer written by him for some
time. When he thinks the conven-
ton has deli5erated long enough he
viii have one of his chiefs TO make a
motion to adjourn, and thus the con-
vention shall have passed into his
tory. With Mr.. Bryan conducting the
convention it will be little more than
a ratification meeting. OF course, a
few allies will cause little stir, but
they will soon be quoted by the tre-
mendous Bryan sentiment. That he
will force himself on the people can
not be denied, but the people on the
Ord of next November will force him
into oblivion as a presidential >-andi-
date.

President Roosevelts prediction
that Secretary Taft would receive the
nomination for president on the first
ballot proved to be correct. There
was, in fact, no other sentiment in
the convention but a Taft eminent.
1t was recognized that he was the
logical candidate and no other aspir-
ant had the least show against him
whatever. And after all, IT is the
opinion of nearly every prominent re-
publican that Hon. William Howard
Taft is the best fitted man r this
country today to sit in the White
House. The fact that he was the
choice OF President Roosevelt proves
that he can be relied upon to use his
best endeavors to carry out the many
reforms begun under this administra-
ton. He will sweep the country this
fall as the American people have the
utmost confidence In his integrity and
ability.

I IRON STRUCTURE FAVORED

Members Of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association. Hagers-
town met Wednesday night and con-
ferred with number of persons
from Williamsport interested in the
building OF a bridge across the Poto-
mac at that place. The plans of those
interested in the bridge we're discuss
ed. It is the sentiment now that an
iron bridge be constructed.
The meeting was held in the coun-
ty commissioners office at the court
house and was called to order by w.
H. McCardell, president of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers associa-
ton, who presided.
Victor Cushwa stated that an en-
gineer had been instructed to prepare
plans for an iron bridge. 1t is expected
that these plans and specifications
Will be ready in few days, so that
bids can be secured. Mr.. Cushwa
said that If an iron bridge cannot be
CONSTRUCTED Tor much less tSan a con-
crete one he would consider the lat
ter the cheaper because of its dura-
bility. Subscriptions to the amount
of $4,000 and over have been taken.
w. H. McCardeH thought that an
iron bridge would be much cheaper
and he said they seemed to be quite
durable. He considered that the
bridge project would have been much
farther advanced if the original plan
had been to build an iron bridge.
Alexander Neill moved that two gen.
tlemen be named to act in conjunction
with DR.. w. s. Richardson to secure
stock subscriptions. The motion pre-
vailed and President McCardell nam
ed ]. G. Roulette and T. A. Brown.
Both gentlemen have signified their
willingness to act in this capacity.
1t is estimated that an iron bridge
win cost from SIS to $4,000. 1t is
hoped to start on the work of con-
struction yet this summer.
