Il BOND ISSUE.

Definite action toward submitting
the $4,000 bond issue Tor the improve
ment of the water system was taken
at the meeting of he council Thurs
day night, when the ordinance author
Ting it to be submitted 10 the voters
at a special election was passed. The
election will be held sometime in Oc-
tober, and as the time is short, it be-
hooves all those who favor the PROPOSE
tion to get busy and work for it.
The question of the best service OF
the purest water and the most effec-
tive methods of protection against
fire are Of vast importance to the
people of Martinsburg, and neither can
be assured as 'ong as the Anticipated
cement water mains remain in the
ground, a menace to not only health
but 10 property also.
Then, too, II would be a matter OF
the greatest economy TO make the pro.
posed Improvement. The saving in
the present annual cost OF repairs
alone would more than pay the inter
est on the proposed bonds, while the
added fire protection aud the elimi
nation of possible contamination Of
the water would further enhance the
value of the Improvement.
by all means, pass the bond issue.

DO you KNOW YOUR CITY,

How many Of us know our WI city?
Does that seem a silly question? Do
the readers OF this believe that they
know the municipality in which they
live? II they we're stopped on the
street by a stranger and asked, for in
stance. on what nights the city coun-
ell meets, what are the m OF the
social settlements and the particular
work each does, what are the estimat-
ed population and Industrial resour-
ces of their city, what is the relative
strength of each foreign element, and
where does each live, could they an
swer all these and dozens of others as
important?
The test, though fair, would find few
ready with satisfactory replies. Most
of the entrants for such an examina-
ton would funk" Yer would any
one calm to know his own city and
acknowledge inability to answer such
simple questions as these?
People generally do not know their
own cities as they should. 1t would
be better for the cities, and hence for
the people themselves, II they would
brush up on some Of these things-if
they would cram" let us say, for
such an imaginary test as indicated
above.
Out Of the far Northwest m a
valuable suggestion along this line.
The city of Seattle, through various
-,hlso 1-s~t41a combinations hoe tn
augurated a "know-your-city" move
ment. The people there are being urg-
ed to study their W municipality.
The campaign is carried out
through a series of popular lectures,
trips of exploration and the publication
and distribution of printed matter.
Public officials appear before the peo-
pie and explain what they and their
colleagues in the public service are do
ing, and why. The people are led to
an understanding of what their gov
eminent is doing. Out of this fuller
knowledge should come a renewed
patriotism, a determination to keep
Government at it's highest point of eff
ficlency-to get from their public ex-
penditures a just return in service and
protection.
The Seattle idea might well be
copied elsewhere. Out Of knowledge
comes resolution. If the people OF d
community have full information as 10
what their elected representatives are
doing, they Will at the same time have
a pretty clear idea Of other things
that should be done, ana why. Citi-
zens Will see that The best men are
elected, and that, once elected, Off
Gals shall not forget the source OF
their power and authority. Let us
know our city.-Cleveland Plain Deal-

WAR ON HOUSE FLY.

Now that ii has been conclusiyely
established that flies convey disease
let the nation wage war against these
repu sive insects and take steps as far
as possible to exclude them from
among us, says the London Lancet.
The campaign should BE- begun at once
and there can be little doubt that If
everybody did his best 70 exterminate
the fly a very distinct advantage to
and a most interesting example afford
cd of the lessons which progressive
medicine teaches.
It is not always possible to trace
the origin Of illness, but it is easy
enough to give valid reasons why the
fly can be The Introductory agent.
Purely medical aspects apart, the fly
is not particularly scrupulous as TO
its environment; IL alights at one
time 'on most offensive material and
at another IL is on the food in the
kitchen and at the table.
The important question remains
how best to get rid Of the fly, Fly
papers and sticky strings are insight
ly. and the struggles Of the fly TO re
lease itsef from a sticky substance is
not an entertaining spectacle. In ouI
experience the best eXterminating
agent Is a weak solution of Tornado
hyde in water (say two t~easpoonsfu.
to the pint)' and this experience has
been confirmed by others. 1t woulc
appear that flies are attracted by
weak solution Of formaldehyde, which
they drink. Some die in the water
others get as far only as the imme
date vicinity of the pace Of water
but all ultimately succum0 and WHERE
they occur in large numbers hundred
may be swept from the floor.
1t is |consoling to know that by thi'
method the flies have died under
dose which is fatal to disease organ
isms a fluid which IS inofrensive, ant
for practical purposes nonpoisonous
The method at once provides a mean
of diminishing the scourge and Of Sc
curing TO some extent what is mos
desirable, the distinction Of the g'ain

If possible.
Mr.. R~oosevelt's letter follows:

My Dear Mr.. Bowers-Would it be

ever shape they are usually sent, to
put in Lake Nairash. The water is
fairly temperate. It IS Slightly aka

are p'enty of small fish and frogs for
the fish to live on.
Would 1t be possible for the Fish
Commission to do this?

Mr.. Bowers said the fish probably
would lie forwarded from a point IN
Central or Southern Europe, to which
he Fish Commission rad sent black

Large-mouth bass will be sent, as
they live well in alkaline water, while
bass OF the smali-mouth variety live
better in fresh water and prefer run

cyclone. There is not a heart beat in
the whole high finance body, how
ever many there may be in the indi-
viduals who compose it. And when
the bears pounded down those Harri-
man securities in the days when their
master lay i'll at Arden they merely
advertised that they had been afraid
of the man and showed what they
would do when the fear vas even a
little abated.
There are many popular misconcep-
tons concerning Hartman. One is
that he was a man with an abnor-
mally large brain, which Slapped the
life from his understood body. Harri-
mans head was not large. 1t was un-
der rather than over the normal size.
1t was quite well proportioned to his
small stature. His body gave the inn
preston of s%lightness, it is true, but it
was not emaciated, except in his last
illness. 1t was wiry and quick as a
steel spring. He vas stopped, as are
most men who think much. He was
never a careful dresser and was quite
| commonplace in appearance. But the
Idea that his brain ate up his body is
a mere fight Of fancy. 1t might be
said as truly of any man who is at the
head of big things in this day of 81
Pantic undertakings.

OIL. DRAGGED INTO HOUSE.

Although satisfaction mas been ex-
pressed by contractors and others in
terested in the experiment Of intro
ducing oil into maeadamiZed roads for
the prevention of dust, there is a de-
cided difference of opinion throughout
Overlook, where the innovation
has been in progress al during the
summer. In fact, a number OF resi-
dents are considering getting up a
petition to discover why a nuisance
which has accompanied the advance
of the work, and from which many of
them have greatly suffered. can not
be abated.
Practically all of the roads Of Over
brook-the majority Of them originally
macadamized-are being reconstruct
ed, and while il is not denied that
the oil has done away with the old
dust problem. it would appear that
conditions which have kept pace with
the advance of the work, fully justify
the universal indignation that has
been aroused.
The most Objectionable feature of
the nuisance" which has caused the
discussion seems to be that after the
oil is squirted from heated barrels
upon the successive layers Of maca-
dam it practically remains in its liquid
state, which condition is made more
acute by a hot sun, and the stuff is
carried, sticking upon shoes, into the
houses in the vicinity.-Chambersburg

but a builder. History must give him
this credit. 1t is questionable II we
have had any greater railroad build
ers than he. The manner in which he
took the rundown and bankrupt Union
Pacific, went over the ground and saw
the business there was for the line,
coupled with the subsequent courage
and energy he displayed in pouring
hundreds Of millions into straighten-
ing and improving the road, showed a
constructive genius of the first order,
Ruthless he might have been, yet the
fact that he did things, and big things
at that, must be told to his praise.
The story of bridging Great Salt lake
and draining the Salton sea is not one
that could be told of every man, not
even of every railroad king. He touched
most of the properties that came un-
de- his control only to build them up.
Overcapitalize he probably did, al
though he called it c~apitsiizing the flu
ture. Used Wall street methods, some
Of them Of a doubtful kind-with this
his enemies charged him. And Harri-
man had enemies, bitter and big ones,
with Theodore Roosevelt, ex-president
of the United States, at their head. II
is perfectly r u that in the world OF
men he had more foes that hated him
than friends that loved him. Yet when
this is said we cannot forget those
east side boys in New York nor those
shouting children at Arden. A man
that loves a child and ~ loved by it in
return cannot be all bad.
Harriman's national vision was
shown in manifold ways. Though
born near New York city and living
in or about it all his life, he did not
have the New York viewpoint. He
saw America from the angle of the
Pacific coast and of the central west
as we'll as of the east. lie had enough
Imagination to forecast the future o.
the country, to count on 1t as q mos

kT< HERE have been few single fig
ures in the world Of finance the
mere rumors Of whose illness
would radically affect so many
stocks as did hat of the late Edward
Henry Hartman. On his recent re-
turn from Europe the great Stock Ex-
change In Wall street spent nearly
n whole day in suspense. Buying
and selling were at a standstill. Ev-
erything depended upon the health of
the little man coming up the bay. If
he should prove to be on the road to
recovery, up would go Union Pacific,
Central Pacific, New York Central and
other securities under his control. If
he was seen to be in a bad way, they
was definitely known there was moth
ing doing.
His arrival satisfied the brokers that
the railroad king was far from a well
man. After his retreat to Arden the
rumor was noised about that he in
mere breath his stocks were hammered
down, down till Union Pacific fell off
3 or Z points, Southern Pacific, New
York Central and others sharing in

mastery by Wall street. There was no
sentiment in it. There never is in these
