FACTS.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
sult the time tables Of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure aonifort and convenience,
Trains run through without change ol
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
but single change of cars to Iowa
Kansss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota
etc. No other line can offer such advan
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Ir
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, and in the end may leat
to tie saving of much Of both as well 81
money. Above all things do not pur
chase tickets before having talk or re
ceiving letter from one Of the B. & 0
Agents. A letter addressed to W. 4
Reppert, Columbus, Ohio; to J. T. Lane
Wheeling. W. Va, to j. A. Webb, Eos

tlemen will lead to thorough informa
tion as to all necessary details of time

portions Of the District Of Columbia, but what I
do want TO assert and proclaim, is the fact that
that prominence and sensational coloring given
10 everything coming from the National Capital
during the late exciting period has given undue
prominence to this question of'Washington mala-

that the malaria, which does exist In
our cities arises from the flats or marshes on our
river front, and Think all arc persuaded Of the ne

Of his evl from our midst At tho same time we
know full we'll, in the light of present knowledge,
that what are known as the malarlal diseases de-
pend not alone upon the miasma from marshes
for their origin. They are found to exist In looa-
tions far removed from any such influence. Filthy
streets and foul cutters in city, the saturation Of
the soil about dwellings,; the foul air from damp,
unventilated cellars the accumulated filth from
domestic anmalsi the defective drainage of
houses-to all these sources have been traced the
responsibility for just such an effect upon tho
human system as Is accredited TO the malaria of
the marshes. Zymotlc diseases are those which
the best Of authority teach us are dependent upon
an impure air. They might be termed
FILTH DISEASES.
Filth OF some kind, whether II BIO the decayed

the principal diseases attendant upon the breath

causes named are diarrhCeal diseases, typhoid
