How TO PREVENT TYPHOID FEVER
1t has been proven that typhoid fever
may be entirely prevented by taking care
that drinking water is entirely free from
the foul matter of common sewers. That
typhoid fever is directly traceable to foul
water, has been proven over and over
again. One case in Chicago is horribly
instructive. The excretia from q fever
patient leaked into q well; milkman
mixed this well-water with his milk, and
in every house at which he sold milk one
or more persons fell iii with typhoid fe-
yer. We are tempted to ask: Can such
things be in a nation calling itself civil
lied? Especially as various means exist
by which the contamination of water can
be prevented The subject is one TO
which public attention should be unceas-
iAgly directed.

DIR. DANIEL MEEKER, one of the Old
est medical practitioners in Northern In
diana, and an operative surgeon of consid-
enable fame, has recently been excommu-
nicated from the Indiana Medical Associ-
alton, for advertising q specific. The
Doctor made the discovery, after many
years practice, that a quack could make
more money curing eons, by q judicious
system Of advertising, than he could BY
digging est tunors Of extraordinary size,
and smputating limbs on scientific princi-
pies. He will probably advertise his cure
for opium eating in the REPUBLICAN,, in
a short time.

South Bend Enterprise.

A correspondent of the Northern Iadi-
anian, signing 81. B. s" to his commu-
nication, very glibfy, and, we have no
doubt, truthfuny pays his respects to the
enterprise and thrift of our Heighboring
city, South Bend. The following may be
of interest to. our readers.
"Why, just think of 142 manufacturing
establishments, employing capital Of
$500, 900, mechanics to the number of
1900, disbursing millions, and turning
out manufactured articles of the value Of
three millions of dollars annually-con.

cornerstone of her great business super
structure-her real estate finds ready sale
at an advance of two or three hundred
per cent. She has cultivated snap and GO
aheaditiveness, accumulated capital and
reputation, and built on a business rock,
that the descending rains of "close

South Bend and Plymouth will proba-
bly, be connected by direct railroad COM
munication within one year from this time.
When that is consummated and our rail-
road, already commenced, completed to
Kankakee City, ILL.,, Plymouth will have
brighter prospects for future greatness
than South Bend had one year ago. We
need more capital and enterprise here, ard
the locomotive whistle will wake up our
present population and bring enterprise,
capital and labor from distance.

interesting.
Sudden Death.-Emma, wife of George
Clifford, Jr., formerly a resident of this vi
cinty, now near Brick Meeting House, died
suddenly on the 18th, inst, aged about 30
years.
Ice has already made its appearance, and

up in grand supper, grand hop, and a
grand drunk.
Potaical.-The election passed off very
quiet in Chesapeake last Tuesday. No
-riotous demonstrations or disorderly con-
duct, with heavy Republican gains in the
District, which accounts, perhaps, for the
very quiet and orderly election.
lmprooement.-Mr. ]. II. Steele is hav-

wise improved, which will add considera-
BILE to it's appearance.

The election has passed, and the result
is certainly gratifying to the Republicans.
Ten hundred and sixty-six Q0GG) names
were on our registry list, of whom eight
hundred and cighty-nine 1881 voted. All
was quiet until after the polls closed
About midnight, a few fellows, who are
always rowdies when in liquor, sought
disturbance with some colorcd men in front
of the polls, but were saved a deserved
thrashing by few advisory words and the
good sense of the colored people.
On Wednesday afternoon one result of
the election was exhibited. An agreement
had been made between VIM. 7. Lyon,
Democrat, and E. Kennard Reynolds, Re-
publican, that if Tome carried Cecil, Lyon
was to wheel Reynolds from Cooks store
to Rock Run and return; if Whyte carried
the county Reynolds was to wheel Lyon
The whole distance is two miles. After
dinner our band marched down to Nickle's
coach factory, followed by boy driving
wheelbarrow, which was decorated with
perhaps fifty small flags; on the left walked
Lyon; on the right Reynolds, with wreath
of evergreen. Returning to Cooks store,
Reynolds took his seat, and Lyon the han
dies, and wheeled the race set before them,
followed by crowd of children and blacks,
while all the town turned out to see the
show.
The mercury has been down to 800
on two mornings, and ice has been formed.

provements will greatly add to the appear
ance of our Main street.
The Election.-The election on Tuesday
last was remarkably quiet one, due in a
great measure, to the legal closing of all
drinking saloons and tavern bar rooms.
Local Option.-The just and righteous
principle of legislation, which grants to
each and every community, whether coun-
ty, district or burrough, the privilege of
deciding by local election, whether license
for the sale of spurious liquors therein shall
be granted OF not, is attracting the atten-
ton of many of our citizens at present.
This is the true method of dealing with
the license question.
Cold Weather.-On Tuesday, election
day, the weather was clear and cold, on
Wednesday morning there was ice one
fourth inch in thickness, and the ground
frozen.
Cunning. gunners find rabbits very
plenty, cartridges rather scarce, and wild
