Diaadvnn ••—The Trouble I* Be

zenn nn*l by Atlanta'* ( oitneil.
Atlanta, July 26.—Spurred up and put
on their mettle by the action •: mo citi
zens’ mass meeting 1 appointing .1 commit
tee to investigate the audition of the
Atlanta water works, the City Council
Committee, which was appointed ton d.iys
• gro met this morning for the first time.
The committee me! in s* ret and refus
ed to givo out anything in regard to its
work. The Citizens' Committee held a
•eerct meeting to-night und aiso declined
to give out what it did. The two com
mittees are w orking independently of each
other, as each is trying to get at the bot
tom of the trouble, it is altogether likely
that the truth will come out.
Insurance rates in Atlanta may go up
sharrply and at once, if the water works
system is not improved. The Executive
Committee of the Southeastern Tariff As
sociation met to-day at Asheville, and
will discuss the recent breaks in Atlan
ta’s water works. The committee is com
posed of well-known insurance men.
Among those attending the session to-day
from Atlanta are H. C. Stockdell, 1.. O.
Fletcher. Charles W. Phillips. J. S. Kamo
and Don P. Harris.
Wny liierennr the Rate*.
It is understood by insurance men gen
erally that the committee will estimate
the increased rate necessary to protect (
insurance companies, while the extra
hazard of imperfect water works is on
in Atlanta, and will hold the rate sub- i
Ject to the action of Atlanta’s authorities
in the serious premises. If something is
not done at once to relieve the risk to
insurance companies, the new rate will J
he probably put in force by oil the com
panies. It is understood as a well estab
lished proposition that there is on ext-a
risk to insurance companies in the pres- ,
ent condition of Atlanta’s water works, j
Chief Joyner's well organize<l depart- j
meni was handicapped in n serious man
ner during the recent famine. Had n
fire broken out the. c hances to put it out
were slight. Dosses are inestimably small
er than they would have been under or
dinary circumstances. when the plant is
running regularly. No business in the
city was more liable to serious loss than
the insurance companies. This is the gen
eral opinion of oil the insurance people.
Atlanta's Are. record for the fiscal year
has been exceptionally good, and At
lanta citizens have derived the benefit
of the corresponding low rates from in
surance companies. A number of com
panies in Atlanta write as much as $lO,-
000 In premium receipts. This indicates
that very large lines are carried by in
dividual companies.
The Executive Committee dealt with the
same problem of imi>erfee* water works
in Augusta recently. The authorities
there promptly perfected their system,
end the increased rates contemplated by
the committee wa9 not put in force.
BURIAL FIM) INVESTIGATED.
Chief I.ovrry of Sanitary Department
Talks \bont It.
Atlanta. July 26.—Investigation of the
aanltary department burial fund by a
committee of the Federation of Trades
resulted last night in a mighty sensational
report.
The committee reported that from evl- '
dence submitted Andrew* Cook, alleged to
be a clerk in the department, was lending
money 10 the employes and charging them
20 per cent, per week interest, but the n
veli*<t Ikm co-ony j>ed the fact that
Cook is not an employe of the depariment.
He rune a grocery store near the head
quarters arid hns been doing business
with the men who w’ere hard up.
Chief Lowry said to-day that so far as
the burial fund was concerned he did not
propose to be investigated by the Commit
tee of the Federation of Trades. He said
he was ready at any moment to be inves
tigated by the Hoard of Health. The
chief said he had collected in ad about S3OO
and he believed he had paid out about $lB
1n excess of the amount received, as there
had been a great many deaths. In each
case of death $lB was paid from the fund
When a society conducted the funeral the
benefit was paid to the family anyway.
The chief said he had a complete state
ment from one of the undertakers who
was patronized, hut another had not yet
furnished a statement, although he had
asked for it. It is not true ihe chief says
th*U the money has been taken from the
pay every week.

Atlanta, July 26 -Mrs. W. T. Atkinson,
widow of the late Gov. Atkinson, will he
a candidate for appointment as state libra
rian.
For several months past, Mrs.
Atkinson has been engaged in the
insurance business, end has met with
great success. She lives at tier home in
NTewnan. and conducts the business from
that point. She will rpake an active can
vase for the appointment. Under the
law of Georgia, a woman can be appoint
ed to the i*>sition of librarian, and it Is
the intention o-f Mrs. Atkinson to make
a strong fight for it. It is not known
Just yet whether Librarian Brown will be
a candidate for re-appointment.
Gov. Candler has heen receiving appli
cations for appointment to the position
for several days past, but ns the term of
Mr Brown does not expire until Septem
ber, 1901, it is very likely that the ap
pointment will not be made until fomo
lime next year.

DYSPEPSIA CURE
AV A ACROSS AIR LINE.
Mnj. W. ii. R non I Will Probably He
roine President.
Waycross. Ga., July 26.—1 t is probable
that Maj. W. G. Raoul, president of the
Mexican National Railway, will succeed
Mr. John E. Wadley a© president of the
Waycross Air Line Railroad. It was
learned from a prominent official that this
change would likely take place in h few
weeks.
Mr. George Dale Wadley has already
beep elected vice president and general
manager. He will have general oversight
of the affairs of the road, spending most
1 n He 1 a brother of John
E. Wadley of Waycross.
Ixirge supplies of new rails are being
shipped out over the Air Line for the
building of th© extension lo Fitzgerald.
The Air Line people have decided in favor
of Fitzgerald, and the extension will be
made to that point as rapidly us possi
ble. Ocilla may not be left out entirely,
however, as it is quite likely n seven
mile spur will be built, connecting with
that town also, provided the people there
make proper effort to secure it. Work
is being pushed on the extension. A large
force is laying track between Lake and
Vickers, and the grading is being pushed
between Vickers and Fitzgerald. It is
probable the Air Line people will take
Christmas dinner in the Colony City.
The experience of the Satilla Manufac
turing Company in re-icing fruit and
vegetables nt this point tho post season,
haw heen very satisfactory, and it is like
ly that they will put in a large plant,
making this an important ro-lring station.
They will have storage room with ca
pacity of about 500 tons.

Rfjjort of Dr. Cook, Bellevue Hospital,
Fourth Surgeons’ Division—Patient, Wm.
Crowley.
Patient came in hospital suffering from
chronic nephri is (Bright's disease). His
urine showed both granular and hyaline
casts and seme pus and blood cells. The
usual remedies were used, but with little
benefit; he was placed on Suwanee
Spr'ngsj Water lr. doses of 50 oz. per day,
and at the end of two weeks an appre
ciable Improvement was noticed. This
treatment was continued for eighi W’eeks,
at the end of which time no casts could
be found under microscopic examination,
and th-' specific gravity had increased
eight points from 1003. Pat ent was dis
charged at his own urgent request, ap

in several other cases of cystitis with
uniform results.

Mr. Packard, a guc st of Suwanee when
the above reports were received, volun
tarily wrote the following to Dr. Cook,
wi h whom he was acquainted) to sat
isfy a few of our guests who were rather
skeptical. Note the reply:
My Dear Mr. Packard—l was some
hat surprised to find my cases reported
so far away from heme, and I am happy
to say that they are g- nuine.
I have used quite a quantity of the
water and found it beneficial to a degree
in all cases. I think that it will finallv
be used almost entirely in just such cases
as the one you sent trie. Mrs. Lewis had
spoken to mo about your case, and I
shall take great interest in the result.
I certainly think you can do better
than to stay at th® Springs, use plenty of
the water, and take plenty of exercise,
hoping th -t our acquaintance will not be
always confined to paper. I am, yours
sincerely, A. H COOK, M. D..

BIY ONLY THE BEST GINGER ALE.
The best is the Wheeler Brand of Bel
fast Ginger Ale, made by Wheeler & Cos.,
of Belfast, Ireland, from the celebrated
Cromac Springs of that city. These
springs are the property of Wheeler A
Cos., hence no other Ginger Ale manufac
turer in Ireland has those waters but
themselves. The Wheeler Ginger Ale is
made from pure Jamaica Ginger Root and
not from Red Pepper, as others are: one
Is deleterious—the other is a tonic.
For Healthfulness and Purity the cele
brated Wheeler brand of Belfast Ginger
Ale is the best.
