Our water SuDDIy.

Our yellow fever commission has
produced at least one good effect so
far.
They have set the people all over the
country to studying out the causes of
disease, and the press lectures physi-
clans, town councils in both north and
south are now talking of drainage,
water supplies, etc.
One of the most important subjects
to us is our water supply. An analysis
of the human form shows that the l54
lbs. which the model man is supposed
to weigh, is composed of 3S pounds of
dry matter and l16 pounds of water.
To furnish and sustain the proportions
DR.. Parks estimates that an adult
requires daily from 20 to 100 ounces of
water for nutrition, of which from 20
to 30 ounces are contained in the solid
food. Now, if -fourths of our
very bodies is composed of water, is it
not Of vital Importance to critically
examine this life-sustaining element
and its relation to our ills as we'll as
benefits.
Wolf river water, by analysis, is
shown to be impure except at low
water, and the question now presents
itself to the people of Memphis, how
are we to obtain pure water. Stored
rain or cistern water can be readily
purified and kept so by oxygena-
ton, which is accomplished by forcing
air through it. By raising water to a
height and allowing it to fall back
through the air in a spray, it
becomes purified and by causing large
volumes Of air to circulate through che
water, the same result is obtained
For purifying water by agitation and
forcing air into it, the Purifying Pump
is the grandest achievement of the age

The Ute Debate in The House.

Special to the Courier-Journal.
WAsHTEqTQN, December 1S.-The
debate in the house to-day, on the
resolution to have a commission nego.
tiatc with the Utes for the cossion of
their lands and rights in Colorado.
indicated that the Utes will receive
very good treatment from the house
when the question again comes up af-
ter the holidays; all amendments will
then be offered and carried, making
strong stipulations for the benefit of
the Indians The committee report
ing the resolution was to-day defeated
once, and the vote is considered a test
of the feeling of the house. The
amusing incident of the debate was
the charges, on the Republican side,
of corruption and bal treatment of
the Indians on the part Of the Interior
Department.

The LOTTERY Suits.

Special to the Courier.J .Journall
WASHINGTON, Decnmber l8.-There
is excellent authority that Judge Car

will decide against the lottery compa-
nies in the proceedings they instituted
to stop the Postmaster General in his
orders regarding the delivery of letters
addressed to lottery companies. This,
however, will not be a final disposition
of the case, as it was originally intend
ed that it should be carried to the

CONVICTED OF MURDER.
Old John BrOadaway's Killing Likely to
be Avenged.

During the latter part of October
last old John Broadway, plain and
hard working farmer who lived near
l}radley's Landing, Arkansas,
was mysteriously murdered by
a band Of masked ruffians as
was supposed, for his money. The
killers however, only obtained $3.50
by their bloody adventure. At the
same time they CARRIED a son of the
old man into the woods and left him
tied to tree some distance away from
the scene of their crime. Certain
parties were suspected and the in
censed neighbors went in pursuit.
Over on this side of the river squad
captured one John Potter, who has
wife and daughter, also at the same
time young man named L. i. Ford.
During the past week the Circuit
Court, setting at Marion, Ark, has
been occupied in the trial Of
these men, and last night a jury
of twelve men returned
verdict of murder in the first de.
gree. The evidence was purely cir
cumstantial, but so strongly convinced
was the jury of their guilt that only
three hours were occupied in
consulting over verdict. There ale
two others believed to be implicated
iu the matter, one. Hiram Jeffreys,
a lqan well connected in East Tennes-
see and Missouri, and one Cal Hughey,
both with families, They lived on
small hatbGat, and are a rowing set of
laboring people, all ignorant and un-
lettered, except Jefreys. The two
latter are to be tried next week. Two
darkeys are also On the docket at
Marion charged with murder, one
having killed negro and the other a
white man. The testimony against
the accused is very strong. The
names of the latter have not been as
certained. All of the supposed muir
ders we're non-residents of Crittenden,
the population of which are just now
at peace with themselves and the
world at large.
