Startling Discovery.

The discovery by the inhabitants OF a
locality hitherto unvlsited by the pesti-
lent scourge of fever and ague, that it
exists IN their very midst, is decidedly
startling. Such discoveries are made
at every season, in every part OF the
Union. subsequently, when it is ascer-
tanned, as it invariably is at such times
through the valuable experience of
some one who has been benefited and
cured, that Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers is a thoroughly efficaeieus ersdica-
tor of the malarlal poison, and means
of terrifying the system against it, a
f. cling of more security and tranquil
ity reigRs throug the whole neigh
borhood. Besides the febriie forms Of
malarial disease, dumb ague and ague
cake are removed by the potent action
of the Bitters, to which science also
gives its sanction as remedy for rheu-
matism. dyspepsia, constipation, liver
complaint, debility, kidney troubles,
and all diseases impairing the organs OF
digestion and assimilation.

D1sF1osAL OF THE SEWAGE.

~
While adopting plan of sewerage
fer this city, would it not be well for
The council to provide scheme for dis
posing of tne sewage other than empty
ing it into the Jordan? The plan pro
posed BY the engineer, as presented to
the CITY Council on Tuesday evening,
contemplates the pouring of the sewage
into ordan. at iGhird, South Street:
Probably it can Predetermined olly at 9
trial whether or not it will be injurious

side of the city Tor two. or three miles,
and then spread among the sloughs ana
marshes. It's dou5 full If it would be
either offensive or injurious, at least
for some years, until the population
has largely increased. The propriety
OF running the risk is the thing to be
cons dered.
In New York, just al present, there
is lively agjtatiQn over the empty
ing of sewage into the Hud-
son River. The drainage from
several cities is int the river named
and analyses OF the water have shown
the presence of disease-breeding germs
to an alarming extent An effort is be
ing IN ade oy the Legislature to .or0ld the
emptying of the sewage into the Hud-
son, from which millions of tons OF ice
for summer consumption are annually
cut. .oks aruE. III"
For many years a portion of the Paris
sewage has been used for fertilizing pur
poses, and last month the French
Chamber OF Deputies passed bill which
aims at taking ali the sewage from the
Seine and leading it on t The soil in the
nei2hborhood of the metropolis. IN the
debates it was demonstrated that while
the sewage fouled the river and made
the stream source of disease rather
than of health, no evil effects come
from spreading the drainage over the
soil.
Just. outside Berlin there is a
tract OF untertlle plain OF Twelve
thousand acres in ex-ent which is being
redeemed and made fertile by the
sewage from the great city. No sewer
is permitted to empty into the Spree,
the clear and sparkling river which
flows through the German Capital, and
as consequence Berlin is perhaps the
healthiest of the great inland cities OF
the world. aela- i
1t will be as easy, and will cost little
more, to carry the sewage to some of
the waste tracts over Jordan where it
can be utilized, as to empty. it into the
river where it will be wasted if it does
not become source of annoyance and
disease to the community.
The matter is worthy the coasidera-
ton OF the Council. -

GIVE 1T TO LOGAN.


1t seems after all that the seventy
FIVE mile limit from Salt Lake for the
location of the Reform School will not
exclude Logan from bidding tor the in
stitution. That city is said to be with
in the distance from this city by trav-
eled road, and is only about sixty-fve
miles distant by airline. We are glad
of this, and again suggest If the people
of Cache will be liberal in the matter
of offering substantial inducem -nts,
the school be placed in or near Logan.
That city, we are confident, presents
more advantages than any other in the
Territory, and these should be taken
into account by the Assembly in select
ing the site. The Reform School is to
be permanent institution, and grow
ing enc, unless the community shall
prove radically unlike all others
Its probable growth should be provided
for and considered at the outset
not particularly as to provision for
more prison room, but as to oppor-
tunities to most probably employ the
increasing number of inmates. At
Logan there is no limit to such oppor-
tunities. @ as
In this connection it may be sug-
gested that some consideration is,due
the large and populous county of Cache.
The county is heavy tax payer, and
its people are prosperous and enter
prising. II is due to them that some cf
the public money be spent with them,
and that some of the public institutions
be located in the county.

as would lesd to the conclusion
taat he would be killed. Lawrence openly
accused Pines of being the author of the
letters, and about week ago rode up to
where Pines lived and told him to come
out, that he wanted to answer the letters
with Smith i Wesson pistol. Pines, re-
fusing to come out of the house, Law
renee cursed and abused him, and, as he
rode off, told him he Nawrence)
would kill him. Pines came TO
town and made complaint against
Lawrence for breach of the peace,
and the trial was had March %,
which resulted in Lawrence having
to give bond of $1,000 dollars to keep the
peace. Yesterday evening Lawrence left
Athens with his wife for home, and in
passing Pines field saw him at work in
the field and began cursing him and told
him to come out and he would kill him,
Pines then shot him with double barrel
shot gun, killing MIN instantly. Mrs.

minutes sooner it would have imperilled
the lives of over 100 instead of thirty-five
men, who we're in the shaft. Immediate
steps were taken to rescue the miners
who were imprisoned by the explosion,
and as soon as it was safe TO do so, and the
fire resulting from the explosion had
been subdutd. The rescning party de-
scended into the shaft They had scarcely
got to work whel another explosion
occurred and the would-be rescuers mar
rowly escaped with their lives. One of
them, Geo. W. Sweeney, superintendent of
the mine, was badly burned about the
hands and face. The work of rescuing
was thus delayed for many hours. The
cries of the imprisoned could be heard,
but they grew fainter and fainter, and by
8 O'Clock ceased altogether. Thus far
five have been taken out dead and fifteen
alive Most of the latter have suffered in
tenstly from the fire and suffocation and
their recovery is very doubtful.
The dead are Ohas. Smith, Geo. May, O.
Mcpherson, Frank Foley, Jordan Smith.
The injured are Joshua Strickle, @. j.

Mason, Frank Jackson, w. Richards, j.

Frank Carr, foreman of the mine, was
present at the time of the explosion, but
was not injured. Fifteen men now re-
main in the mine which is in the west end
and it is believed that most of them will
be taken out dead. The work proceeds
slowly, being attended with great danger.
Mr.. R. H. Keith, president of the Keith
& Perry company, arrived at the mine at
O'Clock this morning.
Said he: "The inspector of mines went
through the mine two weeks ago and
made report pronouncing it in splendid
condition. He published card to that
effect. Apparently there was no gas in
the mine at that time"
Mr.. Macky says that, although he
didn't find more than per cent of gas
when he inspected the mine, and it ex-
listed principally in smoke, yet there was
sufficient to cause an explosion under GER
tain conditions.

DALLAS, March 30.-The people of
Dallas are discussing to-day what has
been secret, but which was developed at
the city council meeting last night. A
bonded officer of the city of Dallas from
1878 to 1856 defaulted in the amount of
several thousand dollars. 1t was found out
by the council, and the officer was made
to make the amount good. Since that time
the matter has been buried under the seal
of an executive session last night. An
alderman offered resolution lifting the
veil of secrecy from the executive session
of the council and let the people know
ALL While the resolution was lost, the
knowledge of the short comings of the
officer alluded to was made public, and
there are few thousand amazed citizens
of Dallas.

TYLER, March 3O.-Crude petroleum
has been discovered about two and one
half miles northeast of this city, on land
owned by Fl. H. Rowland. 1t has accumu-
lated in noticeable quantities in holes dug,
and the find has created much specula-
tion as to how it will pan out. Those
who have seen it express the belief that it
exists in paying quantities. Parties in
terested will commence experiments at
once. If it should prove valuable, it is
very favorably located, and could be
piped to this city very easily, as it is on
higher elevation.
General Roadnaster I. Cronnin and
Division Roadmaster G. l.. Rogue, of the
International and Great Northern railway

the immediate construction of nne
