Typhoid Germs.

Plymouth, Pa, is terribly afflicted
with typhoid fever, the number of
deaths already having reached into the
hundreds. Philadelphia, being situated
less than a hundred miles from the
infected city, became alarmed over the
situation, and the mayor sent COM
mittee to ascertain the cause of the
epidemic. The Philadelphia Press thus
comments upon the report, which
should be carefully read by all:
The report of the medical experts, Sc
lected by Mayor Smith to visit and in
vestigate the epidemic at Plymouth,
concludes that the poison that infected
a population of 10000 had its origin in
a portion of the dejecta from single ty-
phoid fever patient, thrown upon the
ground 60 feet from the mountain
stream that feeds reservoir two miles
distant, which in turn supplies the
mains that are distributed throughout
the borough of Plymouth and adjoining
township. Doctors French and Shakes
peare made a careful study of the SUBJ
ject and their conclusion is worthy the
utmost confidence and is strengthened
by a similar conclusion of local COM
mittee of doctors at Wilkes-Barre. In
the absence of any equally authori-
tative contradiction, it must stand and
will be accepted as the correct theory.
In this conclusion is contained q forcible
warning to every community, and it
appeals in special manner to the
citizens of this city. Typhoid fever is
one of many diseases that is commune
Gated by infection or contagion. Its
continuance is long, the mortality great
and convalescence very slow. These
facts make it burdensome to the poor,
among whom it is more likely to prevail
on account of the lack of perfect sani-
tary measures, but when tits commune
Gated through the water supply all
classes are affected alike. The theory,
perhaps the established fact, in re-
ference to this disease is that it is con-
veyed by specific germ which is con-
veyed into the bowels through the con-
tamination of drink or food. In this
respect it resembles cholera and is
distinct from smallpox and other
diseases whose poison is conveyed
through the atmosphere 1t is further
accepted fact that the germs Of typhoid
fever and cholera have the power of
reproduction with Incredible rapidity,
both as to time and numbers.

Ben Snyder, an old veteran from
New York state, recently visited the
pension Office in Washington and re-
nounced his pension of $72 a month,
granted him about year ago on the
score of insanity. AS a result of his
visit Commissioner Black has ordered
that the pension be reduced to $18 a
month, as his ability to 60 about alone
has shown that he is not totally dis
abled. Snyder's relatives would have
done we'll to kept him at home.

its flour 5000 miles from the point of
manufacture and sell it in New York
at competitive prices will surely COM

To the pane where the light is shining,
And the hugwump stands at the garden gate,
His arm the maid entwining.
The drugwump waits for the stealthy wink.

And the jugwump gayly takes drink
From his jug while his hook he's batting.
The pugwump kisses the nose Of her pet.
And folds him to her bosom,
And the mugwump waits for his Office yet,
And-well, We must excuse him.

WANAHACHIE, TEX, July l3.-In
the county court the case of l.. Baum.
gortner, for violating the local-option
law, was tried without a jury. The
case was closely contested. The judge
rendered q decision of guilty, and
assessed the fine at $25 This was q
test case, and much depended upon
the decision, since beer has been sold
on prescriptions calling for from one
doz n bottles to a cask, the purchaser
getting 1t in quantities to suit his own
convenience and often drinking 1t in
the saloon. This decision will stop so
much beer-drinking.

He WAS ordered to drop the knife,

A Young Attorney of San Antonio
Pound Dead in His Bed.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX July l3.-The
city was startled to-day by the an
nouncement that Sidney Staniforth,
well-known attorney, had, early this
morning, committed suicide or been
murdered. About 6 a. m. several pis-
toll shots were heard in the house of
Ignacia Corttz, n woman living on
Nueva street, and Understood to keep
questionable place. Upon the ar
rival of fiicers Staniforth's body was
found
ON THE BED
in room he has long &C.
cupied in the house. Through his
head were two large bullet holes; one
pierced the skull between the eyes and
the other passed through the head
from temple to temple. The only wit
ness TO the tragedy was lgnacia Cor
teZ. 8 woman of mature years and to
whom Staniforth was engaged
TO BE MARRIED.
The body was removed to Justice M.
endorf's office and q coroner's jury
was impannelled. The woman's tes-
! timony was to the effect that Stani
forth having last week returned
from visit to Silver City, n, M, de-
clared his intention of marrying hei
or else killing himself Sunday night
he came to his room early. About
day break this morning he called hel
to his room, had pistol in his hand
aud said
HE WOULD KILL HIMSELF.
She threw her arms around him
several shots were fired and che raj
from the room screaming. Stanifortf
lived about twenty minutes after be
ing shot. The woman testified to hi
having attempted TO commi
suicide with razor TIVE
years ago. Two prominen
pbysicians testified to the impossible
ity OF Staniforth's being able to hav'
fired both shots through his head, an'
there developes in the Gaze very stront
suspicion that IL was murder and no
suicide. The woman Ignacia
