The Press and PrOhibitio II

Says the st. Louis Republican
in recent editorial: "The evils
of prohibition are not alone con-
fined to the widespread sale and
consumption of the vilest and
most injurious species of alcohol
ic stimulants, but embrace count
less others undreamed of by the
promoters of this doubtful tenn
perance cause" In view of this
undisputed fact, it is of impor-
tance to know where, in these de-
generated days, a pure whlskey
can Ne obtained. L. w. Harper's

is a pure, sour mash liquor, and
fully supplies this want by

of his sentence. After working
for Mr.. Wall a day and a half, he
gave his benefactor the bounce by
silently skipping away to "past-

Again the strong arm of death
has visited our ranks and removed
tlerefrom a noble friend-Alber
Warner. He died at the homo of
his father at Ills q. m. on the
10th inst. He bore his afiiction
with the meakness Of a lamb. He
was a true friend, kind and de-
voted son and a loving brother,
and always met his friends with a
smile of love on his face. He
leaves father, mother, brothers,
sisters, friends and relatives to
mourn his death. While it is our
earthly loss we trust it is his
heavenly gain. A FRIEND.

indications-look for low prices
another season.

enlarged and otherwise beautifed.
We are proud to see this work go
ing on.

SCARLET FEvER-That terrible scourge
of children, scarlet fever, exists to some
extent in this city, and it is feared that the
number of cases is being augmented daily
While no epidemic is anticipated, it would
be well for everybody to contribute his or
her part toward staying the plague as much
"a possible, and this can be done in several
ways In the first place every ones prem
ises should be searched for pest-breeding
accommodations. Cellars should receive spec
ial inspection, and be cleaned, aired and
lined, and disinfectants employed literally
wherever filth has lain neglected. Atten-
ton was called in this column recently to
the fact that in some sections CT the city the
services of a certain official were not called
into reuuisition rs often as cleanliness and
health required. 1t is a theory held by
many that the constant Inhalation OF odors
arising from the source alluded to breeds
scarlet fever and kindred maladies. These
matters should receive Immediate attention,
and if the occupants of premises on which
such nllisances exist refuse or neglect TO
abate them the Board of Health has tho
power to act in the matter. 1t is believed
also by others that the constant use at wa
ter from city pumps for drinking or culinary
purposes originates many of the dangerous
fevers which occasionally rage. Those hold
ing the latter theory argue intelllgontly.
They say that the vein of water which
feeds the pumps is the same subterranean
stream which carries off the accumulations
of outhouses, and the fact that water from
pumps within city limits is always vitiated
in taste land smell too when allowed TO
stand awhile) is the best evidence OF lis un
WhOleSOmeneSs.
