out the general unheathfulness of pill
lows and mattresses which are stuffed
with feathers, hair, or similar soft ma
t%erial, but they continue to be used,
mainly because there is no substitute
that is free from objection. When the
padding is fresh and new it is admira-
BILE, being light, elastic, porous and
cool. With use it absorbs gases n
vapors, and becomes unhealthy. 1t af-
fords Judgment for parasites, and is liza
BILE to be effected with germs OF disease.
After a period of use the filling requires
renovation or renewal, When over
hauled by the furniture man there
is no certainty that the material is not
mixed with that from other
sources or replaced by an inferior
quality. The danger of infection is, of
course, the greatest among the lower
classes. The material used to fill cheap
mattresses are such inferior substances
as shavings, c%ocOanut fibre, corn husk,
shoddy refuse and even old rags. Many
of the substances are used oVer and over
again, and are filthy and dangerous to
health.
Metallic mattresses are to do away
with all of these objections. They will
not afford Judgment for moths, bugs
and other insects, or for the germs of
smallpox, scarlet fever or the Group.
They are well ventilated, and with a
thin covering are cool in summer, but
with a blanket laid on them become
warm in winter. They are especially
desirable in hotels. boarding houses and
hospitals, where a person is in doubt as
to the last occupant of the bed. The
braided wire is said to be AN excellent
covering for easy chairs and sofas, and
in time it may be used to upholster seats
in cars and public buildings.

Senator Paddock and the Rivers.

Senator Paddock is entitled to honest
credit for his able and persistent fight
for the recognition of western water
ways, which he began with his entrance
into the senate and has continued to a
successful issue on Monday last. Made
chairman OF the committee on the i'm
provement of the Mississippi river and
its tributaries at the opening of the
session, he insisted that the committee
should do something more than n name.
While declining to endorse without eX-
animation the commission system
he entered at once into an examination
of its workings, which is still in prog
ress, and demanded on behalf OF the
west that the fullest investigation into
expenditures already made and to be
made should be had before Judgment
was passed. Senator Paddock seems to
have believed with most of the rams
Missouri country that a vast section has
been neglected to pile up benefits for
the south, and that if a comprehensive
scheme of river improvements is to
be carried out, the west, with its great
commercial centers on It's rivers banks,
is entitled to its share of the appropria-
tions made.
With this object in view he pro-
tested against the abolition of the
Missouri river commission until its
works could be examined, and carried
his point through the senate, aided by
Senator Allison on behalf of Iowa.
He gave notice TO the senate hat
hereafter he should insist that
all appropriations for the Mississippi
and Missouri rivers should be consid-
cred in his committee before being re-
ported to the senate, with such recon-
fit TO make.
This is common business sense as APP
piled to public legislation. There has
heretofore been no check to the opera
tions of the commission system which
has been largely controlled in its work
ipgs by the dining and win
ing of great cities from Kansas
City south. Tho Mississippi river
above Cairo and the Missouri river
above Kansas City have been practically
ignored, while millions of dollars have
boeu spent below those points to benefit
city river fronts and protect great plan
tations. A reasonable expenditure upon
the Missouri between Sioux City and
Kansas City would make barge line
transportation practicable and would
give a new element of competition with
tho railroads on the north and south
haul, Nebraska has been consistently
in favor Of improving our national
waterways, and It's representatives in
congress owe it to themselves 70 voice
the popular sentiment. -

SIOUX FALLS, Oak, July 3.-TSpcc'al Telc-
gram to THE BEE. Some days ago several
leading men were bCu I'd over on tie testi-
mony of two farmers hired by the prohibit
tiDnists to secure evidence against the saloon
keepers. Thus far Mark Aridgc, Champion
Owen, Congravc and Il dozen others have APP
peared before the court and given 800

have been lettering about the city and were
ordered to leave, but they refused. To-day
as they were passing down Phillips avenue
an unknown party suddenly darted from be-
tween the buildings and strCcx one of the
informers on the head with Il stick. He
cried for help, but before the police arrived
the a~ssailant had escaped and his identity
could not be established. The liquor men
denounce the act and profess to have no
knowledge who the guilty party may be,
but on the other hand it is also freely stated
that they know the man who committed the
deed, but refuse to diyulge. The citizens
