Juo. Reid made a speech IN which he gave
an account Of the tour of the state which
the fish commissioners have. recently made
with Il view to establishing a hatchery. lie
assured the club that no place had been Sc

had been found, accessible from all portions
Of the state. lie explained that it was
necessary to have q spring of perennial
flow, will a considerable volume of water,
entirely free from mineral qualities, and not
subject to overflow. The requisite cOHdi-
tons had been found in only one place, in
Webster county, a situation too remote from
the larger part of the state. He believed
that no place which had been visited pre-
sented more favorable conditions than the
springs at Waterloo station in this county f.;
and said that he had no sort of doubt that
the commissioners would examine them il
requested to do so. He recommended that
the club appoint a committee to visit these
springs, and u spring upon Mr.. Wade HEX

We were hopeful in the beginning that, with
the funds then on hand at the outbreak of
the epidemic, we would be able to provide
and care for the sick that would be thrown
on our hands. But the fever has continued
to spread, and with two long months vet be-

to the charity of the nation for substantial
aid. The generous people throughout the

help. We feel that we are performing a
sacred duty TO the impoverished and dis
tressed people among whom our lot is cast.
The bounty of a common people was show
