CLEAN CP.
The Board of Health were out yes
terday attending to the dead fish in
East Okabena lake, where number Of
wagon loads. killed by the winter ice,
had accumulated. They will be hauled
away for fertilizing, while the small
fry, together with the reeds and other
rubbish thrown up will be dried and
burned.
The Board is beginning its work in
good time, and this is the place to get
in our annual item on cleaning up.
The work of cleaning streets, allies
and lots should begin at once, and the
winter accumulations on the surface
should be promptly removed. Worth
ington is famous for the beauty of its
tree-lined streets, and it should show
a clean surface to the world and send
up no unpleasant odors to the nose.
Health depends largely upon c}eanli-
ness and We should take no risks. Lu-
verne has been scourged for months by
diphtheria which has baflled the skill
of the doctors and placed the town un-
der quarantine.
We learn that the Worthington
Board are now considering the matter
of extending the sewers and providing
for carrying the sewage of the place to
a safe distance.

breezy prairies. Within radius Of

his 'Shining Mountains" his happy
hunting grounds realized on earth.
A WHIHL IN GRAND PRAIRIE.
From the Adrian Guardian OF last
week it is learned that an infant cy-
clone swept over the place of Mr.. Peter
11eber, who occupies F. j. Porter's
farm on section i, Grand Prairie, on
Tuesday evening abont clock, that
made things decidedly lively for a few
minutes. 1t came from the southeast,
and Notwithstanding the buildings are
protected by grove of large trees, it's
force was irresistible and it levelled to
the ground all the smaller buildings on
the place. The barley bin containing
between 200 and 800 bushels Of barley,
is total wreck, the leanto on the
barn, containing a span Of horses and
Il colt. was crushed like an egg shell,
and the horses completely buried in
the wreck-though strange to say they
escaped with only few bruises-the
pump house went up with whirl, and
the pump was drawn from the well.
Mr.. Iltber and Byron Dexter were in
the barley bin when it was struck, but
escaped by laying flat on the floor,
though they were pretty badly shaken
up and as badly frightened. A hay
rack was picked up, whirled through
the air like feather and thrown
against the barn, making kindllng
wood Of it, The wheels in Mr.. Dex-
ter's wagon were also crushed in. The
cloud was of regulation shape and
came with velocity that was simply
ter. ible. We have not learned of any
further damage done by it, and it was
probably only good sized whirlwind
on a rampage.
