The Peru Telegraph of Friday motto eS

some more new and desperate cases "among

Well, we are not aS'onished that they had
Cholera at Peru. Rim, it is generally a
greed, Is an active generator OF the disease,
and we are sure no one will displ,e the
fact, that there is about that editor Of the
Peru Telegraph, and the paper he put forth
yesterday, filth enough to infect whole
county. Seepiness, laziness, duluess Of
apprehension and stupor, are characteristics
Of the dlthyj then truly may this man IIol-

Subscribers in Peru TO suit him, and he is

our language and motive, in making the

Cholera in Otta,ea.-No cases reported
this morning.

son why it should break out here. Our
streets and alleys are perfectly clean and
well lined. lllow places in which water
might collect aud become stagneni, have
been well drained or filled up. There can
consequently be no purer atmosphere in the
world than we have here. For all this we
feel greatly indebted TO the new temperance
board Of TRUSTEES and their energetic street
supervisor, Mr.. A. Woodruff.
We heard the proprie,y Of starting num-
Der Of large coal fires through town suggest.
cd by one of the trustees this morning. We
look upon this as a good idea. The gas
arising from bitumlnous coal is nearly the
same as that arising from the burning Of
gun.powder or pure sulphur, which is re.
garded as, and in fact has been demonstrat-
ed to be, a preventive Of cholera in other pla.
ces. In Pittsburg, where immense quaint.
ties Of this kind Of coal are constantly being
Consumed, but very few cases of cholera
occurred in 1892, when it ragged all over the
Union with !rightful fury.
