A Water +. m ne.

The town of Lakeview, adjoining Chica-
go on the north, is in terrible plight for
lack of drinking water. For the past few
weeks the people have been suffering a
veritable water famine, so as to produce a
great deal of sickness which threatens to in
crease and perhaps result in the spread of
some fatal epidemic disease. At the marine
hospital there has been a great deal of ty-
phoid fever and the officials attribute it to
nothing else than the filthy water pumped
through the service-pipes. All of the cases
have developed in the hospital, in which
there are now ninety-twO patients. The
surgeOn-general has ordered chemical an
analysis of the waters, and declares that 1t is
largely composed of sewages.
