To the president and council of the
village of Morris, MINI.
Gentlemen:-We have the honor to
subject the following report of the
board of health, of the village of Nor
ris. for the year ending March 18th,
1886,
Your village has received careful
scrutiny, all garbage and manure piles
have been removed, new vaults for
privies, and old vaults filed with
fresh earth, twice during the past
year, leaving the village at this date,
in good sanitary condition. No cpl
demic has prevailed In the village
during the past year, with exception
of FIVE cases OF scarlet fever, from
which one death occurred three of the
above cases being very mild. In
each case there has been thorough
isolation and disinfection. One Of
the first cases has been followed by
secondary affection, kidney disease,
dropsy and the like.
1t cannot be too strongly impressed
on all, mothers particularly, that the
mildness of the attack should be cause
of anxiety, that no child should be
considered out of danger until the
last scurf has disappeared from the
palms Of the hand and soles of the
feet and the urine has assumed its
natural color and guam tity. as recon-
mended by Prof. Pepper in his treat
ment of scarlet fever.
We know not the origin OF the cases
of scarlet fever in our village, but
suppose it to be of sporadic origin.
The slough adjoining the livery
barn of E. Atwood on the north east
which has heretofore caused much an.
noyance, has been properly drained
and placed in good sanitary condi.
ton.
One case of CHAMBERS in horse has
been reported to which DR.. G. w.
Vaughan was called and so reported
by him.
At the request of the secretary OF
the state board of health three sam.
Piles of drinking waters, half a gallon
each, was placed in new bottles and
marked No. l. 2 and 3. No. l from
we'll at Mr.. Jackson, No. from well
at Mr.. Christianson and No. from
the Pomme.de- Terre river, all OF
which were forwarded to the the sec
rotary of the state board Of health fol
analysis, but as vet not heard from.
Your health officer was notified Of
the exposure of a member of the
O'Keefe family to scarlet fever; and
| upon said notification the board quar-
entined said family at the pest house
for two weeks at the expense of the
village; their apparel was disinfected
and the family allowed to return tt
the village.
| AS rule the citizens of our village
promptly gave their aid in placing 0ul
village in a good sanitary condition
Respectfully,
N. r. SPUR.
M. WEBER.

More Trouble with SWitohmen.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-Trouble is brewing
between the Grand Trunk authorities and
their switchmen. Du,ing the recent troubles
a man named Bey err in the employ of the
Lake Shore road, had quarrel with one
Hernett, a Grand Trunk switchman, 10
which the latter was shot by the former.
The Lake Shore people requested Hernett's
discharge, on the ground that he provoked
the quarrel, and their request was promptly
complied with. At the preliminary hearing
of the case before town of Lake justice
Hernett was exonerated from all blame, and
Boyer was held for the Criminal Court. The
switchmen's union now demands the REIN
statement Of Hernets, threatening to strike
if refused. A committee from the union
will wait upon the Grand Trunk authorities
to day in reference to the matter. 1t is re.

Helena. Ark, special says: A thrilling
tragedy occurred yesterday at Holly Grove,
Ark. Thomas Null wealthy planter, shot
and killed Frank Thomas, well known con.
tractor. The difficulty between the two grew
out of Il dispute regarding some work done
by Thomas for Null, which he declared
had not been paid for. The lie was passed
and Null struck Thomas with heavy bug
gy whip, which felied him TO the ground.
On arising, Thomas, it is alleged, put his
hand behind him in such manner that led
Null to believe ho was going for his pistol.
Null drew his pisto al once and sent a bull
lot through the heart of Thomas. who
dropped dead to the ground. Null then
mounted his horse and rode off, Fully forty
people witnessed the killing. Null owns

readiness for action, offensive or defensive,

vessels have yet been ordered with o view
to possible warfare. At the State Depart
ment it is said that there is nothing new
which it woald he proper to mako public at
present, bu: that there is still no reason to
doubt an amicable adjustment Of the Cut.

MR., JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Or. J. William Jones, editor ofthe South
ern Historical Papers, has just returned from
a visit to the home of Mr.. Jefferson Davis,
at Beauvoir, Mississippi, and in letter to
the Richmond Dispatch descriptive OF his
visit says:
Mr.. Davis seems to delight especially to
talk of the Confederacy; its splendid rise. its
heroic struggle, its sad fall, when "compell-
ed to yield to overwhelming plumbers and
resources" He seemed thoroughly familiar
with the miuutest details Of all the Depart
ments of the Government. He gave some
very interesting details of Experiments made
while he was Secretary of War on the ques-
ton of whether to cast guns hollow or to
bore them out from solid castings, and spoke
of the laudable pride with which Rodman
sought him when he had prepared some can
non powder, and ex claimed, Eureka,
eureka!"
He gave very interesting account of
some experiments made by Professor Bart
lett, of West Point, under bis direction, on
the proper size and shape of bullets. The
experiments failed, but last year at Beau
voir he got to thinking over it, and thought
that he discovered the cause of the failure.
He at once wrote to Professor Bartlett
giving him his theory, but received from
him very kind reply, in which the Pro-
fessor said that he was now too old and in
firm to make new experiments, and that,
besides, he had lost their original memoran.
da and calculations.
He spoke with commendablel pride of
what progress the Confederacy had made
in creating material of war, until at the end
of the struggle the best powder in the world
was made at the Confederate mill under
charge of General Rains. He said that
while prisoner at Fortress Monroe he was
told that the powder which produced the
best results in firing at iron plates was some
of this powder captured from the Confeder-
ates.
He talked freely, and in the most interest
ing manner. of the causes. progress, and re-
suits of the war, and while fully accepting its
logical results, he seems profoundly anxious
that our children should be taught the truth,
and that our people should not forget or
iguore The great fundamental principles for
which We fought. AS for allowing the war
to be called 1.-The Rebellion" and our Con.
