In tact that their efforts are not always
intelligently directed The relation be-
tween polluted water supply and chole-
raie disease has been fully established,
or at least generally admitted for many
years. vet we read that in 1882 out of
e94 wells in the city of Brooklyn $50
were condemned because the water on
actual analysis was found to be unfit for
use. How many outbreaks of typhoid
and choleraic fevers may have been caused
by these polluted waters there is no means
of knowing. In st. Louis but a few
wears ago the board of health had an
examination made of the wells-more
than thousand in number-and there
was found cause for condemning many of
them. In nearly every case the most de-
termined opposition was made to the
enforcement of the condemnation, not
outstanding the facts of the cholera
visitation in 1873 were so recently before
the public, that visitation being almost
exclusively confined to locality supplied
with impure water In the smaller
towns, Notwithstanding the better facilI
ties for ventilation, the conditions re-
garding drainage wells and cisterns are
such that an epidemic often proves more
| fatal than in the cities. Cleanliness is,
perhaps, the first necessity to health, but
it matters little how clean the house,
yard and street may be kept if the soil is
impregnated with all manner of corrup.
toni Through leaky drains or careless dis
posal of garbage. The fever spots would
be gradually destroyed and blotted out il
new buildings were always constructed
on sanitary principles, but they are
not.

AN ALLIGATOR IN LAKE PEORIA
From the Peoria Democrat

A young man named George Potter
and two BOYS named Frank Shader and
Dennis Murphy visited the drug stores
yesterday offering for sale handsome,
live young alligator eighteen inches long,
which they said had been washed up on
the shore near CAROLS ice houses yes
terday morning about half pastten clock
by the swell from the steamer Grey Eagle
as she came down on her regular daily
trip. 1t was finally bought for fifty cents
by Robert S. Davis. and is now on exhi-
bition in the quarium at his drug store.
They say they first noticed large allIga-
tor about six inc hes longer, washed
ashore, and were about to grab it when
it jumped back into the lake. Just then
similar animal popped up at the edge
of the water. Potter seized it slung it on
shore, Shader gave it a toss further on,
and then they captured it,

The railroad and steamboat companies
have commenced a cut on rates between
st. Louis and St. Paul. The agreed rate
between the two has been 1924, round trip
by rail, and S2S by water The railroads
having made cut to $40, the steamboats,
followed by a reduction to $24, which
includes meals on the boat. 1t is very
likely that the war will stop where it is,
and no more cutting of rates is expected.

 A sample of apples was left at our of flee picked from pile that had been taken to Newells cider mill Ninety six weighed pound and many of them have fully as much juice in them as a last years corn cob. No wonder cider is $5 barrel.
 The two proceeding items were clip ped from the Thomaston Express of Oc- tober 12 The correspondent referred to in the first has been placed on the re- tired list, but in justice to his memory 1t must be said he intended no insult or injury to Rev MT Mitchell or the church members, but his zeal in giving com pliments always outran his discretion.
