THE Belknap Rifles are going
bravely to work with their new
armory project. They deserve great
credit for their pluck and enterprise
and the coming days will demonstrate
the wisdom of their course. While
other companies have badgered the
municipalities in which they live for
land grants and public aid, the
Belknaps, who have again and again
covered this city with glory, have
gone quietly to work among them
selves and in less than one year will
have fully equipped armory which
will be a credit to the city and an
honor to the state, as we'll as a monu-
ment TO their own independence, grit
and business capacity.

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused
such a general revival of trade at
Dreiss, Thompson & Co.'S. Drug Store
as their giving away to their GUS
toners of so many free trial bottles
of DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption. Their trade is simply en-
ormous in this very valuable article
from the fact that it always cures and
never disappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, and all
throat and lung diseases quickly
cured. You can test it before buying
by getting a trial bottle free, large
size 81. Every bottle warranted.

THE Parnellites appear to be on the
eve of making another fearful blunder
and supporting the tory administra-
ton because Gladstone does not en-
dorse all the Irish programme. They
tried that game some three years
since, and threw the government into
the hands of the tories when a Glad
stone parliament might have been re-
turned and all the evils of Balfourism
avoided.

they mean five starting points for disense
Ali this talk about the dangers Of epidemic Is
not exaggerated, as many suppose, but is
founded upon much experience There will be
plenty Of typhoid fever and kindred diseases
here within a week or ten days, in my opin-
ion. The only thing that has saved us thus
far has been the cold weather. That has
now given pace to summer weather, and no
one knows what the next few days may
bring forth. Even among the workmen and
attendants there is already discovered a great
tendency to diarrhoaa and dysentery. The
men are living principally upon salt meat
and there is a lack Of vegetables"
Sanitary Precautions.
Sheriff McCandless has been appointed
chief 10 J. V. Patton, superintendent Of the
Baltimore and Ohio road, and Wi liam Finn
has been appointed chief Of the entire work
ing force. He has q, 600 men at work
At a meeting held by DR.. Lee, Of the state
board Of health, and Sheriff McCandless OF
Pittsburg, with the approval Of J. B. Scott
IL was decided to ESTABLISH the sanitary head
quarters at Pitt>burg. Dr. McCandless said
there was little danger Of an epidemic orig
mating here as every precaution had been
taken and the inhabitants were not depend
ept On river water TO slake their thirst.
There are plenty Of springs in the immediate
neighborhood. Any epidemic that may fol
low will originate in Pittsburg and Ale
gheny. 1t has, therefore, been decided 70
start at Pitisburg and work along the water
way to Jolnstown, burning all debris and
making use of disinfectants. Dr. McCand-
less says if this is promptly done the danger
OF pestilence viii he averted.
"Burn the town. is the order that has
gone forth. This seems to be the only sure
method of purifcation. Chief Dictator Scott
comedies with this order and says this is the
only way Of disposing Of the debris and
refuse.

Arthur Kirk is gradually proving that he
knew what he was talking about when he
said that dynamite was the only proper ma
terial TO use IN removing the debris above tho
railroad bridge Hitherto he has been very
much crampcd in his work by scarcity Of
explosives, but yesterday a big supply Of
cartridges arrived and the engineer was com
paratively happy. A clear space has been
made about two OF the piers The great

however, that weeks will be required 70 re.

TO float the heavy logs HE space covered
by this debris is one OF the chief points Of
interest now, as it is undoubtedly the most
dangerous pestilence breeding place in the
whole flooded district. All efforts to remove
the remaining bodies buried beneath it have
been abandoned. The pile has been gone
over carefully several times, and all the
corpses that could be reached have been
taken out There are sLl several hundred
in the wreck, but they are too deeply irnbed

no alternative but TO destroy them. Every
body Acknowledges this now, and there will
be no more hinderancas 70 the work. Dsin.
fectnnts have not been used on the pilo yet,
although they are ing freely distribu ted
through the town. Curiosity and relic seek.
ers have baen warned to keep away from the
debris, as disease turks in the air about il.
They pay very little attention 10 the warning,
however, their desire for plunder evidently
being greater than their fear of pestilence.
At KernvilIe.
Kernville was thickly populated, and tn,
whole lower end of the town has been de
stroyed. Not one of every ffty buildings
standing are on the original foundations The
bodies that are being taken out are SO decom

would be received there except those for per
