Ice Cream Sickness.

Last evening the children of Mr.
Wyville, with Bamberger & Co., ate ice
cream at Krell's During the night they wert
very sick, and were attended by DR.. Trues
dale Their sickness was such as usually
comes from mild Observation-Disclosures
vomiting, purging, deathly palOr and en-.

There was little social gathering the
same evening at Mr.. Rosenfeld' at which
were present the families Of Mayer Rosen
field, Joseph ROsenfeld Mr.. Loeb, and
perhaps others. The children of the
Messrs. Rosenfelds and of Mr.. Loeb were
also all taken down in the same way, il
the night We called on Mr. Mayer Ros
enfield who readily gaveu us all the informa
ton we sought, except as to where he got
his ice cream. He said he got it at an ic'
cream saloon, but declined to tell which

Some ascribe the sickness to too mucl
favoring extract and others think it wa
caused by impure ice cream freezers
which had stood over winter and not beei
sufficiently cleansed with hot water befor,

sell should be extremely careful in prepar
ing it. Carelessness or ignorance in. it
preparation may cost the lives of some o

More Ignorance.

The Union squirms fearfully on the tax
question, and wants somebody to believe
that it is possible that the city taxes on
that Office have been paid to Dave Reid.
Referring to Mr.. Barges certificate the
Sunday Union says
"He knew very well when he gave Danforth the
certificate referred to that taxes may have been paid
to the County Treasurer which are not recorded on
his book"
If Mr. Haverstick had been posted as to
the law and the practice he would know
that unpaid city taxes on personal prop
erty are not returned to the county treas
urer but to the City Council, and that the
city clerk is the proper and the only Off
cial having charge of these delinquent lists.
Study your books, Captain, study-you
aren't posted.
