taken very sick just after dinner with symp-
toms of poisoning. The sickness passed off
without serious consequence.

been taken three weeks before. Meantime the
neighbors had gone to the house to see Bell

and very sick. The old man died in a few
hours.
There is every reason to suspect that poison

The above conditions of apathy and lack

than this, there must he perfect IMMUNITY in

AT certain times the stencil that arises is hor-

year this is carried OF by nigh water,
but during the dry months it lays
IN the ditch until decomposition and put"efac-
ton through these poisonous cases into the
atmosphere, TO bear disease and death TO
hundreds who dwell along its path.
There is a very strong feeling among the
people most Interested on account OF their To-
cation that some enc is ngSiGctlng his duty
in the matter. The work of keeping this
sewer cleaned falls into the department of
the city engineer, and that official should,
without delay, and without Wait!ngs for in
