SANITATION.
Dr. Braunnagel Gives Some Interesting
Pointers on Necessary I'M
DrOvanants


Complaints are made upon all sides that al
ing of privies, and instructions are given TO
the San Antonio Fertilizing company the work
is not promptly done, and much evil arises
from the delay. The LIGHT commissioner in
teryiewed the health officer upon the subject.
DR.. Braunnagel said the fact was, although the
company under Mr.. Cavanaugh worked hard
to serve the people 1t had not facilities at its
disposal TO meet the demands made upon IL.
And as 1t was a private corporation, and the
city had no contract with IL, of course, he had
no control over It whatever This work should
be done by the city, and the expenses paid by
small tax as IL is done in several large
prominent cities. This department would be
under the control of the health officer and
the work would then be promptly, efficiently
and cheaply done. Under this system better
state of sanitation would be observed. As IL
is now many persons defer cleansing
privies rs long as possible to avoid the ex-
pense attached to IL, which the poor often
times can ilafford. Under the city system
the citizen would have no expense other than
his taxation. and would be more likely to have
them cleanscd at the proper periods. The pro-
posed crematory would do for the disposal of
the fecal and other matter, and the only addi-
tional expense would be the necessary appa-
ratus, carts, etc, their maintenance, and the
salary of the men. The cost could be some
what reduced by the sale of fertilizing matter.
There is no question as TO the economy and
efficiency of the system being conducted by
the city. The only question is as to ways and
means. Some enterprstng alderman should
take up the matter, and see that Dr. Braun
nagels suggestions are carried into effect.

THE LAST DAY HAS COME.
Seventy Thousand Dollars Must be
Raised To-day to Secure that North
west Extension

] RAISED TODAY 10 secure That North
west Extension.
The railroad committees OF this city
have reached the last day, in the after
noon, of their work. The public meet
ing called for tonight will wind up mat
tiers, and what has not been done to- day
must be done to night or MOI at all, and
at this present writing itlooks too much
! like not at all to be exactly comfortable.
At the meeting held last night. the real
| estate committee and several others
| were not represented. From that meet
| ing it appears that about four, possibly
| five men have been at work, and these
more energetically since last Wednes-
! day night than at any previous time.
The S9l,5O0 reported last Wednesday
night has been. Increased by nearly 500
600, last nights returns showing Sll0,-
900 on the books with few thousands
more In sight. Whatever is done, must
be done quickly. The men interested
in this road must be at the courthouse
tonight il they do not want to see this
matter dropped. There were some red
hot speeches made last night, and il
might have stirred something Of a hOr-
let's nest In the mossbaCk region had
the m-bs been within earshOt. The curt
comments made u Jon the attitude as
sumed by so many of the very men who
will be most benefited by this extern
sion were not fattering. Out Of tax
able list of 5000, 600 to grunt along In
this fashion over the raising Of what in
plain English amounts TO less than
S33 900 donation is enough to make live
men turn tailOrs and clOthe their dead
but unburied fellows with curses as
with Il garment. Out of the 1000 tax
payers of the city only sixty have re-
sponded, so far as was known to the
committee last night. What subscriptions
have been taken by those who did not re-
port at last nights meeting cannot be
ascertained for the Information of those
who read this article; but, with the
most ample allowance for this unknown
list the number of subscribers to this
railway fund will not exceed one per
cent of the number Of taxpayers as
borne upon the rolls. That $4,000 still to
be made up must be secured by the com
mittees to-day and tonight or the rail-
way scheme is dead. The town has not
been half canvassed. Many OF the COM
mittees, as was shown last night, have
done nothing as yet. Every member of
every committee, if he keeps good faith
with the railway scheme in whose in
terests he was appointed, will do all he
can to-day and make his appearance at
the railway meeting tonight whether he
has 500 subscriptions to report or $l0,-
600. Remember every taxpayer in San
Antonio is expected at the courthouse
tonight at $50 O'Clock TO hear the final
report, take part in the final action, and
help determine whether this road shall
be built or not

The Physiology of the Liver.

The liver is the largest secreting organ in
the human body, and the bile which 1t se-

Tection from its proper channels than any
other of the animal fluids. Luckily for the

of relief from liver complaint, namely, Hos

Dies MONIES, Ia, Dec. 4.-The State AS
ISOLATION of Fine Stock Breeders, in session
at Mason City yesterday, adopted very
strong resolutions on the subject of wipiny
out cattle disease. They call upol the
National Government to condemn and
slaughter all cattle in the United States in-
fected with foot and mouth disease. or
pleuro-pncumonia, and pay for the same
out of the public treasury; also, they de-
mand Congressional legislation to pre-
vent the importation from any cOun-
try TO this of animals SO in
fected, and they urge the Gov
ernor and State Veterinarian of Iowa to
exercise unusual vigilance to prevent tho
introduction OF the cOntagiOn to Iowa cattle
from the infected markets, especially Chi
cago, requesting that no cattle cars be al
lowed to come into the State from Chicago
until thoroughly disIfectcd. Last evening
the citizens of Mason City rendered the as
ISOLATION banquet, at which covers were
laid for 800 people. TOasts were responded
to by leading stOck-breeders of the State,
including United States Marshall Campbell,
Judge Nourse, OF the Des MOines railroad,

CHICAGO, Dec. Although the relatives
of Theodore S. MILO have virtually left
themselves penniless in attempting 10 make
good the $4,000 he embezzled from
Miner L. Ames, the millionaire coal me r
chant, it appears that shortage OF many
thousands still exists. Until last evening
there was little doubt that the settlement
was all amicable ono and MiZo would not
be prosecuted, but the fact that the embez-
zler's father to-day engaged legal counsel
and that Mr.. Ames cOntradicts many state
ments made by members of the Mize fam
lily leads to a belief that the affair may end
in Mize being given long term in Joliet
prison. During an interview last night
Ames angrily denied that lie had ever
agreed not to prosecute. The father of
Mize, OH the other hand authorizes the
emphatic assertion that Mr.. Ames made ut
least tacit agreement that the einbezzler
should he saved the disgrace of the peni-
Tertiary.

PARSONS, Kari., Dec. 4.-"Jim Cum
mings," the man who shot and fatally
wounded Policeman Kyser here Thursday
night, was captured at Altamont this morn
ing. lie was seen entering the town early
this morning with muller tied over his
head. he having lost his hat in his efforts to
get away from here last night. Dick Kyscr,
brother of the policeman, was the first to
see him make his appearance. aud having
been notified by wire of the shooting
and given a description of the man,
recognized him at once and notified the
marshal OF AltamOnt, who, together with
several men, effected his capture a short
distance from town, he having hurried
away, only taking time to buy hat. When
the posse approached linn lie drew a re-
volver and warned all to keep at a safe dis.
lance. but there being too many for him to
cover with his pistol an advantage was
gained over him and he was compelled to
surrender. Kyser, the policeman who was
shot is still alive but experiences a great
deal of pain and is gradually sinking. The
excitement runs high here, and should
Kyser die the culprit will stand chance Of
faring badly.
