wATERvILLE.

The funeral of Hon. J. G. Soule, whose
sudden death was announced in Tuesday S
Journal was held at the late residence of the
deceased, Tuesday afternoon. A large dele
CATION of prominent professional and business
men were in attendance. Although a men,
Der of the bar and for many years in active
practice yet the principal life work of the
deceased was in educational channels For
several after his graduation at Colby he
taught school and for ten years past he has
been the most active member of the Water
vile school board, and the efficiency and
high reputation of the town schools is due to
him more than to any one man. His singu-
lar faithfulness and devotion to duty is well
evidenced by the fact that while devoting the
best years of his life to our schools he has
necessarily sacrificed other business interests
and has been content to labor for very
inadequate salary. At the last annual town
meeting his services to the town were at last
recognized, and after many complimentary
speeches his salary was raised to a respecta-
BILE figure. BY his death Waterville loses a
good citizen and faithful public servant.

its beneficial effect upon those present has
been obvious.
The Superintendent and those associated
with him in the arduous work of directing
and caring for all the details of the institu-
ton. evince more than an official, perfunctory
attention to those committed to their care.
So long as the need of such an institution
exists, our State has reason to congratulate
itself that it has such good one, and the
friends of the unfortunate class who find a
home there may confidently feel assured that
everything that skill and kindness can sug-
gest is done by the officers for the comfort
and recovery of those who for longer or
shorter time are under their care.

AT THE STATE HOUSE.
A Very Quiet Time at the State De-
partments.

This is rather quiet time at the State
House just now. The Departments are busy
closing up the work of 1887, the results of
which, outside of what has appeared in the
newspaper reports from time to time, are be-
yond the reporters ken until they are given
to the public in the forthcoming reports. Adj
jutant Gen. Gallaghers office is busy one
just now. The military arrangements for
the funeral of the late Gov. Bodwell made
considerable extra work for this department
which taken in connection with the regular
routine makes this peculiarly busy depart
ment. The Board of Health Department is
always busy. The annual reports of the local
boards of Health are beginning to come in to
quite an extent, and, of course, the systemat
ic arrangement of such mass of data is by
no means an easy task. Among the many
received for analysis is one that deserves
special mention. 1t is from well near a
barn-yard of Maine dairyman. From it
comes the water supply for all the stock on the
look at, yet when analysed it is found to be
by all odds the worst specimen which
has yet been received. 5-l000ths parts of
ammonia would ordinarily be enough to cause
water specimen to be looked upon with
suspicion, and this specimen contained $40
parts of ammonia, or in other words was as
much worse than water ordinarily sus-
pcous from excess of ammonia, AS 5 to 1900
The question arises whether the milk from
cows who drink this impure water can by any
possibility escape its contamination. Knowing
the condition of this water supply one
would scarcely feel able to vouch for the
wholesomeness of such milk. This is a
matter which is open to discussion 1t well
illustrates the fact however, that many
farmers are prone to look upon any kind of
a water supply as good enough for the
stock" Nothing could be more failacious.
If bad water supply is source of disease
to men, one need not expect that it will prove
should have as pure water as that used by
the family, yet how often it is that
we find wells dug-as was the one whose
water we have just described, close to, or
even in the barnyard and receiving large
part of its drainage. Can it be expected that
cattle drinking the product of such cesspools
as these will be healthy There are many
reforms which are being pushed forward in
the stock-raising world but none seems more
urgent than the one which will do away with
such sources of water supply.
