A Nuisance.

In walking along the plank sidewalk
leading to the depot person frequently
encounters large nails. Protruding up
ward these nails extend from
half an inch to an inch and half above
the planks, and are becoming a nuis-
ance, and unless the evil is remedied an
accident may occur which will injure
some pedestrian. The platform at the
depot Is open to the same complaint,
and is really more dangerous than the
walks leading to IL. Yesterday evening
gentleman stubbed his toe against one
of these spikes and came very nearly
being pitched headforemost against a
passing train.
The authorities whose business il is,
should see that these nails are driven
down, so that pedestrians win not STUN
bic over them.

Suicide by Hanging.

AT an early hour yesterday morning
Mr.. Aleck Lowe hung himself at his
residence in Hooper. The cause of the
deed is not known, but Mr.. Lowe asked
his wife if she would forgine him. She
replied that he had done nothing, but
she would forgive him. He then left
the house. and going to the corral where
his team was, took rope of one of his
horses. and climbing up into tree, tied
a rope around his neck and to limb
and jumped down. The fall broke his
neck, and he was found dead few mo-
ments later by his wife.
When he left the house he seemed TO
be .ather vexed about some water. He
was a poor man. but whether his
poverty had anything to do with the
rash act is unknown. He has two
brothers residing in this city and leaves
a wife and family in Hooper.

A RIGHT royal celebration Is antici-
pated on July 5th. Every detail of the
affair has been in competent hands and
neither time nor labor has been spared
in the attempt to make the celebration
one long to be remembered. The pros
poets now are tn immense crowds of
people will come to the city and every
body will hold out their hands to well
come them. The most elegant and the
grandest display of fireworks ever ex-
hIbited in the Territory has arrived and
will be exhibited on the evening of the
Fifth of July. We feel safe in saying
that Ogden may well feel proud Of her
efforts in this direction of celebration,
and we believe that every one of our
citizens will enjoy themselves on the
anniversary of the nations birth.

Tho Great Question of tbs Day.

The late Dr. Samuel D. Gross, the faith
er Of American surgery, used the follow
ing words in an address delivered at the
dedication of the Mcdowell monument:
Young men of America, listen to the
voice of one who has grown old in his
profession, and who will probably never
address you again, as he utters parting
word of advice.
"Thc great question of the day is not
this operation or that, not ovariotomy or
lithotomy, or hip joint amputation,
which have reflected so much glory upon
American medicine, but preventive mod
icine, the hygiene of our persons. our
dwellings, our streets, In word, our sur.
roundings, whatever or wherever they
may be, whether in city, town, hamlet,
or country, and the establishment of cfli.
cient town and State boards of health,
through whose agency we shall be more
able to prevent the origin and fatal ef.
fects of what are known as the zymotic
or preventable diseases which carry SO
much woe and sorrow into our families,
and often sweep like hurricanes over the
earth, destroying millions Of human lives
in an incredibly short time.
"rhe day has arrived when the people
must be reused to deeper and more
earnest sense Of the peoples welfare, and
suitable measures adopted for the pro
lection as we'll as for the better develop
ment of their physical, moral, and intel
lcctual powers. This is the great problem
of the day, the question which you, Al
the representatives of the rising genera
ton Of physicians should urge, in seasol
upon the attention of your fellow citizens
the question which, above and beyond al
others, should engage your most seriou
thoughts, and elicit your most earnes
cooperation.
when this great object shall be a
tanned; when man shall be able to prcver
disease, and to reach, with little or n
suffering, his thrcescorc years and ter
so graphically described by the Psalmis
then, and not until then, will the worl
be q paradise"

WASHINGTON.
PENSIONS AND BoUNTIES.
Senator Logan's Appeal In Behalf of the
Veterans OF the War.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The Senate
took up this afternoon the bill reported
from the Committee on Pensions to give
a pension TO soldiers Of the late war who
served six months and who are now dis
abled and dependent on their own labor
for support, and also to pension depend
ent parents of soldiers who died in the
service from disabilities contracted there
in. Mr.. Blair made long speech in sup
port of the measure. He said the highest
rate of pension that would be paid under
the bill would be $24 a month.
Mr.. Berry, of Arkansas, opposed the
bill, saying that il would take an un-
known sum, probably 10000, 900, from
the Treasury, and that the country could
not afford it, and that it would be unjust
to place this obligation on Democratic
Administration. This afforded Mr.. Logan
an opportunity to criticise sharply the
arguments used against the measure. AS
to the probable expense involved by the
bill, he said, if an old soldier having the
seeds of disease implanted in hinr by
his sufferings for his country on the field
of battle should come hobbling up the
Capitol steps to-day, would the gentleman
ask how much it would cost to relieve
him? Such an argument Mr.. Logan had
never heard without experiencing cold
chill. Mr.. Logan would atthe proper
time move that no pension paid to any
soldier should be less than IS. There
were some pensions Of 81 and So month.
Mr.. Teller interposed TO say that there
were over 20, 900 cases with So month
pensions.
AT this Mr.. Logan remarked, "What a
magnanimous pension-Great God, Mr..
President, is not this robbery? Is not
this destroying the peace of the people of
this country? 1t is no wonder that my
friend from Arkansas (NIr. Berry, was
alarmed lest the Democratic party would
be destroyed if pension bills should pass. u
Mr. Logan suggested that the best way
tor the Democrats to keep in power was
to support deserving pension bills. The
Senator from Arkansas had said it was
time to call halt. Did he mean time tC
call halt on bills asking pay for proper
ty taken by the Army? Mr.. Logan hat
heard nobody asking for "halt' on that
If, however, the Senator meant to call {
halt on pension bills, he should confin,
the call to bills for undeserving pensions
and should support bills for those tha
were deserving

that they had left their native land TO

had taken seats on the train, and he was
just making change on the platform for

Among the spring styles annually be.
coming more prevalent in many sections
of the country, IS the Sticking up" of
farmers door yards, gardens, ctc.-the
improvement and adornment Of rural
homes by making fences, arbors, ETC.,
and the planting of trees, shrubs and
flowers, as well as the repairing and
painting of buildings and the like, This
is very laudable fashion, for it not only
beauties home, rendering its inmates
more contented and happy but adds to
its pecuniary value, an item that would
tell favorably should sale Of the prem
ises become desirable or necessary. Tho
fashion of thus fixing up about the house
usually extends over the farm, so that
the whole premises exhibit an improved
appearance. There are better fences and
outbuildings finer orchards, more gates
and fewer aggravating bars, and other
permanent improvements which tend to
render the farmstead more attractive and
valuable. Let this fashion prevail wide
", and both the people and the country
will be greatly benefited.
Several other farm fashions worthy OF
imitation prevail among good husband
men. Among them may be briefly men
toned the care of domestic animals,
thorough and timely culture promptness
in planting and harvesting crops, the iu-
dicious marketing of farm products, the
avoidance of trading with strange pedlers
or travelling agents Especially those
wanting autographs), and the wise STYLE
of purchasing only from persons yo,
know, or such parties as are indorscd by
trustworthy authorities. American AZ

tenement house occupied by family of
the name of Powell, nine in number. Up
to 0 p. m. none of them had been heard
from. The next point of destruction was
in what is known as the Bottoms. A
dozen houses occupied mostly by colored
people were here swept away. Dozens
of horses were lost, and railroads leading
out of the city were swept away, so that
it is impossible to hear from outside
points At least dozen trains are here
and within few miles of the city Tele.
graph wires are down, and business has
been suspended. One family of the
name of Morris were swept away. The
last seen of them was at the Miami street
bridge, when man was seen at the win
dow by the terror r-stricken crowd, waving
a lighted lamp. The next instant the
house collapsed and they were gone.
One, boy of thirteen, has been found.
The work of finding the bodies still con-
tinues tonight. The Mayors Office has
been turned into morgue and there are
now twenty-five bodies there. The scenes
are heartrending. Whole families lie
disfgured on cots.
The loss of property is great, whole
lumber yards and all bridges gone com
pletely. The scenes in the devastated
district are indescribable. Forces Of men
are busily engaged clearing away and
hundreds of people surround the places.
Strangers have begun to pour into the
city from every direction. The council

NOTES FOR HUSBANDMAN AND
HOUSEKEEPER.
Useful Hints for Horse Owners.

Horses are very delicate and liable to
many ailments, and persons owning them
who are not very familiar with their nat
ure and requirements, will find the fol.
lowing suggestions, condensed from an
article in the Cincinnati Enquirer, useful
Never feed horse with hay from a
rack located above his head, as a draught
beats down which is injurious, and the
dust is liable to injure the eyes.
A horse should not be overworked, for
like man, he gets tired, and to keep in
good condition, he should have rest and
good bedding.
Sometimes horse will not eat his usu
al food. A mash Of oatmeal, milk warm
is about the best food to give horse un
der such circumstances. And then a
horse should have grass. 1t is his natural
food. A continual diet of hay hardens
the stomach. The food is not digcsted
Carbonic acid gas is generated, and the
horse dies in agony, swelling up, suffer
ing from what is commonly known as
collie. Then, again, horses need well
ventilated stables, free from draught or
damp. The floor should be smooth and
nearly level. 1t should be well drained
and light, for sudden change from dark.
ness to light is trying to the eyes, and q
damp, offensive odor is injurious. Then
again. the bedding and litter should be
carefully separated from that which is
foul. They should be we'll shaken uT
and dried, and the stall should be thor
oughly cleansed; and when the stable il
empty, let in plenty of fresh air,
A horses stall should be large enough
to allow him to lie down comfortably II
any position. A tired horse will be GLAD
to lie down with his legs stretched out Il
he has room; but if you can't give him {
loose box, then light halter block should
be used, and cMe taken to arrange tht
halter so that it may travel freely to al
low the head to come easily to the litter
for rest and sleep are as necessary as fooC
and water.
If horse comes to the stable wet, 1t
should be rubbed dry before the blanke
is put on. The legs should be rubbed, AM
the hoofs always examined for stones.
