That Express Package.

The other day a certain gentlemen of
the legal profession in the city visited
John Warmers camp, but found no one
home. Desiring to play a joke on the
absentees. he searched about and found
an earthly ornament which he placed oyer
the door of the tent, with appropriate
lines, signed by order Of, P.-then
he placed board over the pipe of the
tent stove, and inwardly chuckling over
the smoky time the occupants would have
when the fire was started, and the general
surprise in store for the campers, be left
for Rock Island, But it so happened that
Mr.. Warner was visited by Capt, Haver-
stick on Sunday, and as yet had built no
fire in the stove. He was explaining how
his stove worked; pointing the repairs
necessary before going to Keithsburg, and
got to the top joint-when behold-"th there
wasEthe board This ruined the consum
nation of the intended joke, but
it did not prevent retaliation. There
was council in that camp-the j. P.
was called in, and after sitting by the camp
fire for some time plan for revenge was
proposed and adopted. Then it happened
that yesterday the legal gentleman receiv-
ed regularly by express. q carefully packed
box. Why" said he. that is my coat
that | left up north" Then he shook il
up again, and said, mo, it is not my coat,
it is those blanks | bought in Chicago.
And then he opened the box--but why
proloDg the story-the box contained the
identical board the earthly ornament,
and-well there was silence-a pause, and
then all hands had anything they were
willing to call for, and they were all will
ing-only don't let those ''cussed' repor-
tiers get hold of this. DIR. PEBBLES, better
known as Pap" he of 18th street, can
supply any missing links in this narrative
and to him, those interested are referred.

Causes of Disease---The Water We
Drink

At the meeting of the Iowa and Illinois
central district medical association held at
Davenport July 10th, some valuable
opinions were brought out in the general
discussion of Public and Domestic SAM
tation, very able paper by DR.. G. L.
Eyster, of this city.
DR.. TRUEsDALE said that the healthful-
ness Of the modern school houses could
not be compared with the old buildings
which were built Of logs and mud partly
filing the cracks. The first school-house
that he attended had a large fireplace in
one end, into which whole logs of wood
were thrown, thus securing the very best
ventilation and good health In Rock Is
| land we have built a new school-house
which differs very materially 10 it's plan of
ventilation from the old ones, in which the
ventilation is poor Teachers say that
this last building is the best ventilated
house they were ever IN. The superin-
tendent says that there are fourteen per
cent less of children from any other school
in the city, while the children attending
there live in the most unhealthy part OF
town, and the school-house is in an IN
healthy location.
In regard to filtered water. it looks nicer
than dirty water, but neither fltering nor
boiling will remove the poison from water
the Ouly way to avoid trouble is not to use
it. As general rule, the water from g
stream is better than from q we'll | dc
not think the water in the Mississippi
river is pure. Sewage will be conducted
a long distance by water In the winter.
under the ice Peoria is one hundred and
sixty miles from Chicago, yet In the winter
when the canal and Illinois river is frozen,
sewage is conducted from Chicago. making
the water so bad they cant drink it.
| DR. DAWSON said that most of his former
remarks were made to elicit discussion.
OF course. sewage water is bad to drink.
| Thinks we have no authority to say that
sewage poison will cause typhoid fever OF
diphtheria. He related instances of wells
which had received all the drainage from
the place for three years and no disease
yet produced; he, therefore, thinks there
must be some other cause for the disease.
1t is hard TO make people believe that the
water from such wells is bad when they
are drinking it all the time with no bad
results, He thinks school houses should
be built only one story. as the housing tc-
gether OF many children is bad.
DR.. PLUMMER said that the system
could resist the effect of the poison for q
long time, but it will finally cause sickness
He gave instances of two families who had
for years used contaminated water, and
who at last had typhoid fever and diph-
liberia. In large cities wells are sure to
become contaminated. Every case Of
diarrbe he had during the epidemic in
Rock Island, was from drinking river water
There is no doubt of the fact that bad
water will produce disease.

The Encampment.

The Second Brigade encampment
Springfield, Sept. 10th, has been officially
determined on, and Col. Butler has been
so notified by Adjutant General billiard
The following circular accompanies the
order which will give the necessary in
formation.
Free transportation to Springfield viii

and regimental bands, by the Chicago,
Burlington Il Quincy, Peoria & Rock Is
land, Chicago & Alton, Wabash, Ohio &
Mississippi, Springfield & Northwestern
Indianapolis & st. Louis, Illinois, Bloom

and Vandalia Line railroads, Regimental
and battalion commanders will forward
the acquisitions of their respective Quar-
termasters for transportation to the
Second Brigade headquarters at Spring
field, on or before Sept. /, The necessary
camp equipage and subsistence will be
furnished regiments and batallions by the
state, through the Quartermaster of the
Second Brigade. on proper requi-
sition, There is no provision for
paying officers and men, and
this fact should be impressed upon all
concerned. Officers and enlisted men
must provide themselves with regulation
uniforms and blankets, and mounted off,
GERS must furnish their own horses-but
the QuaEtcrmaster will provide forage.
Gen. Reece says il is unnecessary to call
attention to the Importance of camp of
instruction of this character, or to state
that officers and enlisted men will be ex.
pected, in the most thorough manner to
discharge the duties of troops in the field
The prime object of this encampment is to
promote the efficiency of the Illinois Ma
tional Guards. Good discipline will be
enforced and the limited time fully occu-
pied in the discharge of the important
duties incident to camp of instruction.
The companies are advised to encourage
excursions from their respective localities
to reimburse the railroads for their free
transportation of guardmen.
