THE FIFTH WARD HARMONIOUS.

| The Fifth ward comes to the front with
candidates who are the unanimous choice
! of all the voters represented. A meeting
was held last evening at Mr. Martinson's
| office, on the west side to place in nomina-
| tion candidate for the council and
! member of the school board. About sixty
| voters were present-all males-and wheth-
er or not these gentlemen represented the
vigorous voting element which stayed at
home only the election returns will show
At any rate their deliberations were en-
tirely satisfactory to themselves. Hon.
Rudolph Hatfield was made chairman and
Ralph Field, secretary. Messrs Joseph
Slower and w. A. Wright were placed in
nomination for the position of councilman
and Mr.. Slower received the nomination
which was then made unanimous.
Messrs. j. n. Howard, w. p Campbell
and w. c. Glenn were nominated for the
school board, and on the second ballot
Mr.. Howard was nominated, and his
nomination was made unanimous. 1t is
safe to say that these gentlemen will re
ceive the vote of every man present at the
meeting, as the greatest goodwill and
harmony prevailed.
The following resolution was offered and
adopted by rising vote:
Resolved, That the citizens of the Fifth
ward, assembled, do hereby express their
appreciation and thanks to Charles Ken
yon and j. {. Slaven for their faithful eff !
cient and acceptable services as their rep
resentatives in the city council and school
board, respectively, and discharge them at |
their own urgent request, reluctantly, but |
with clear and worthy record.
Mr.. Kenyon responded in few well |!
chosen words, thanking the citizens of the |
ward for the hearty support rendered him |
in the discharge of his duty.
The meeting then adjourned.
There are no factions in the ward. The |
people feel confident that Messrs Slower |
and Howard are the men they want for
these important positions.

necessary questions to entitle them TO vote.

SYSTEMS OF SEWERAGE

! To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Apropos of this question Of sewerage {
know it Is nearly thread-bare now vii
you kindly permit me the use of littl,
space in order to present my opinion con
corning this matter?
! There are two systems of removal O.
sewerage, by water carriage, in use at tn.
| present time.
These are known as the 'seperate" ant
the combined" systems.
In the latter, which is the system upon
which most of the sewers are constructed
at present. all excreta. kitchen slops, waste
water from baths and manufacturing es
Establishments, as well as the storm water
are carried off in the same conducts. In
| the separate system, ON the other hand, the
storm water is removed either by surface
or underground drains not connected with
the sewers proper, in which only the dis
charge from the water-closets and the
refuse water from houses and factories are
conveyed. In the separate system con-
slant flow of the contents is maintained,
preventing a deposition of solid matters,
and diminishing decomposition and forma-
t1on of sewer gas.
In the combined system, On the other
hand, the sewers must be made large
enough to receive the maximum rainfall
of the district This requires a calibre
greatly in excess of the ordinary needs of
the sewer and furnishes favorable con-
ditions for the development of sewer gas
and the growth of minute vegetable
organisms, (both of which are conditions
conductive to i'll health.) The ordinary
flow in a sewer of large calibre is so slug
gish as to favor the deposition Of solid
matters, hence the gradual obstruction of
the sewer. Now let me ask, who, of the.
readers, having spent as much as week
in most of our eastern cities has not had his
olfactories offended by the cleaning of the
dispositions in a sewer through a man-hole
its an everyday occurrence.
The seperate system, endorsed as it is by
high engineering and sanitary authorities,
and by satisfactory and practical test of
about seven years in the city of Memphis.
seems to possess merits above any other
plan for the removal of excrete and house
waste.
OF course the establishment of any sys-
tenn presupposes an abundant supply of
water to keep the closets clean and all
house-drains and street sewers well
flushed.
Now then after having stated the advan-
tages from a sanitary standpoint, of the
''seperate" system, is it also not easily to
be seen that the cost of construction is
vastly in favor of the same. AS this is
matter of no little note, would it not be
well for our Dads to look into this
''seperate" system a little?
Respectfully submitted,

THE COURT HOUSE AND JAIL

But little has been said of late touching
the proposition to build the Jail on the
court house square, and the commissioners
might be inclined to interpret the silence
as consent for them to go forward with
the original idea. This would be mis-
take which would be regretted for all
time, or at least until the order came from
the people to tear down the Jail and re-
build it elsewhere. And that is just what
Omaha is getting ready to do today
Omaha built fine court house and made
the mistake of building the jail on the
same square. From the moment the work
was finished people began to grumble
about the mistake, the Jail not only prov
ing an obstruction 80 a view of the court
house but an eye sore. So they
are to take it down at great ex-
pense and build it a mile away
BY the papers we see the same thing prac-
tlcally has happened to Denver where they
have secured an order to remove the jail
most two miles from the court house.
A similar mistake was made in the state
house square at Topeka, where a library
building was erected on the state house
square. The library of itself is fine
building, and would be attractive any
where else, but its present lacation only
mars the square. The difference in the
cost of Jail on the square and off to one
side would more than doubly pay for the
extra ground to place it on. We sincerely
hope our commissioners will make no
such mistake as has been made by the
places named by building the Jail on the
court house square. The board of trade have
unanimously by resolution asked that it not
be done. The newspapers and business men
of the city so far as we have heard anv
expression are equally unanimous, and we
do not want to take chances of being COM
PEELED to follow the expensive example,
after three or four years of dissatisfaction,
of tearing down, moving and rebuilding.
There are no two sides TO the question
The court house and Jail would hardly be
completed before citizens and strangers
would be saying what pity that Jail was
put there" or expressing their feelings of
disquiet in much more emphatic manner

AN AESTHETIC CONCERT.

The concert announced in the EAGLE to
be given last night at Olivet Congregation
al Church, South Topeka avenue, was a
success in every particular. The program,
as previously announced, was carried out
and every number was received with pleas
ure by the audience which filled the COM
Portable and attractive auditorium. The
baritone solo of Mr.. Bracken received an
enthusiastic encore. The vocal solo of
Misses Hobbs and johnson were, also, es-
pecially fine. Mrs. Booths recitation
quite captured the audience and Miss
Smiths showed marked ability, which
would have been received with more heaaty
appreciation in a selection of different
style. The affair concluded with a supper
which was all that could be desired.
