Twelve Colts Entered
Editor Rockville Sentinel:

Editor Rockville Sentinel.
DEAR SHIT may interest you to kno W
that the Estate Breeders Association of In
diana" has closed its stakes with twelve
colts entered sired by Masterlode, Jr. This
is truly a very high compliment to a stall
lion that so many of his colts are consid-
cred sufficiently promising that their own
ers are willing to pay the entrance fee and
trot them in the stakes opened to the get of
all stations in the State.
Mr.. Darnell, the owner of Masterlode,
Jr., writes US that his colts uniformly show
great speed, and that Masterlode. Jr., has u
great future before him us a sire If one of
his colts captures the Indiana stakes this
year 1t will add great value to his colts
This is especially gratifying to us, having
selected such u stallion to offer to our friends
and patrons.
Yours, very truly,
JOHN WHITE & Sons.

New Reading ROOm.-.The Young
Mems Christian Association will meet in
the newly established reading room, located
in the Town Hall building, here, tonight
and every night thereafter, except Sunday
night, the room will be open to those who
choose to avail themselves ofthe opportunity
to read the very highest character of litera-
ture. The room has been nicely fitted up
for the comfort and convenience of all visi-
tors, and supplied with two hundred volumes
of histories and novels, besides several popu-
lar magazines and daily papers. OF the
number of books the old library furnished
140 and the remainder have been secured by
contributions made by citizens of Rockville.
The hours for reading will be between
and 10 o'clock, and one Of the officers will
be in charge during that time to keep the

the library stockholders and contributors to
take the books to their homes to read, but not
the magazines. Additional publications
that are to be placed in the reading room
annually, will be purchased by public con-
tributons. great portion of the funds
contributed this year were required to fit
up the room, but next year that necessity
will not present itself, and the entire sub
scription fund can be put to the purchase OF
reading matter, which will be q much larger
amount than this year.

No Half Mile Track.-The project OF
extending the race track at the Fair Grounds
here TO a-half mile will not, it is thought, be
successful If the FUR exhibitions are con-
tinued at the present grounds. The CON-
mittee appointed at recent meeting of the
Society to inquire of Mr. James Dawson the
price of piece of land in the rear of the
Fair Grounds, comprising from five to seven
acres, which would enable the track to be
extended to the much desired size of a-half
mile, belonging TO him, has been informed
that, not being DESTROYS to part with the
land from the fact that his farm is already
small, it can be purchased at $500 per acre.
This is above the price the Society had de-
termined to pay; therefore the project will
be Abandoned unless the present grounds
can be sold and other grounds purchased.
The committee has not made any definite
report in the matter yet.
1t has been suggested that the Society
should sell its valuable and naturally beau
tful grounds and purchase II field OF 10
acres on the farm Mr.. Chandler Keys, Just
above the northern limits of Rockville and
adjoining the Metropolitan Branch Rail
road, which would afford a.haf mile track
and all other conveniences that the present
grounds do, except that of shade, and this
could be had in II few years by carefully
nurturing some popular trees. This field
has been priced at 5000.

ly meeting of Montgomery County Grange,

of April. j. w. Horner, in the absence of
L. f. Lansdale, chairman of the committee
appointed to visit the County Commission
ers and urge them to use the power given
by the last Legislature to protect the sheep
growing interests of the county, reported a
very unsatisfactory interview with the Com
mssioners. The committee was continued
and instructed to make further effort to
induce the Commissioners to believe that
the people of the county want protection
from dogs.
G. II. Hartshorne made a very satislac-
tory statement OF the condition of the Wash
ington Grange Agency-they are handling
all kinds of farm products now-hogs, sheep,
cattle, hay, straw, poultry, eggs and butter
to the satisfaction of their customers, and
have sold thousands of bushels of potatoes.
Officers were installed by Worthy Past
Chaplain of State Grange F. A. Tschiffely
in very acceptable way, and he also made
an address impressing upon the members OF
the Order sense OF their individual re-
sponsibility for the success or failure of their
own subordinate Grange.
Ella l.. Hartshorne called attention to the
chain which is being formed through com
mittees of sisters OF National, State and sub
ordinate Oranges to arouse them to take an
active part in all Grange work and to stimu.
late and help the Order in every possible
way, and asked the local committees to cor
respond with her at Brighton postoffice.

most every State in the Union showing that
new Oranges are being organized all along

couraged when we remember what grand

Bacteria In Filtered Drinking
Watefs.-At this season, when SO many
people quench their thirst with artificial
water, archaeological study of drinking
waters by DIR. Charles G. Currier, of New
York, should be pondered. DIR. Currier has
recently conducted elaborate experiments
on the efficacy Of filters and other means
employed to purify water His conclusions
are decidedly uniavorable as to the virtue
of filtration. Harmful bacteria, he says, can
pass through carbon filters and "can posi-
bly, increase in them under certain lavoring
conditions" The sponge filter is still worse,
as within twenty -four hours after steriliza-
ton it may sometimes cause the develop.
ment of five hundred times as many bacteria
in each cubic centimetre as are found in un.
filtered water. DIR. Currier tested the arti-
fetal waters manufactured in New York
which are filtered through layers of char
coal and sand. The sediment is thereby
removed. But one microscopic examina-
ton showed that in cubic centimetre of
the artificial waters there were 5000 bacte
iiN' "h'S "'S uhhitcicu "atcib thhcu nv
random from neighb0ring hydrant, aver
aged only 432 of these morbific germs
These recent studies in the bacteriology of
drinking waters demonstrate the advsa-
bility of letting alone artificial and other
filtered waters, and adhering to simple water
as it comes fresh from the hydrant. The
lesson is worth much to millions of people
who all the year round endanger their health
by drinking artificial waters under the de-
fusion of their superior purity.

ESTERN EDUCATION.

In the territorial days North Dakota,
being the youngest and smallest. was
unable to quite keep up with the South
in securing institutions, and especially
colleges: but it is trying now to fill up
the gap. There are standing commit
tees constantly on duty hunting loca-
tons for colleges. Few of the old
states have more than two or three. Sev-
eral but one, college or university, but
the Western idea seems TO be that every
denomination, and nearly every town,
must have co lege. South Dakota
came in as state with fourteen private
colleges or high class seminaries and
six related institutions established by
the legislature or congress. The North
had but about dozen few days ago.
The present number is not reported.
Colleges crafty local pride and carry
some sort of an impression of culture
and high civilization. and yet it would
be better for the new regions of the
West If half of the colleges were
converted into soap, starch or
some other lucrative factories and
the means concentrated upon the
other half, or fourth still better.
academies and high schools here and
there would subserye ali local needs,
with two or three universities that would
grow into great institutions like Ann
Arbor. Oberlin, Harvard and others.
North Dakota has line beginning for
great state university at Grand Forks.
and'WiIl have weIl-equipped agricult-
ural college at Faro; but these are non
sectarian, and every religious school
must have its college. The enterprise
displayed 10y sects and localities in this
matter is, Of course, laudable, and it is
proper TO encourage liberality among
the rich. They do we'll to end0w bcncf-
cent public institutions when they pass
away. but the multiplication of colleges
is not pressing need of either new or
old regions. North Dakota is not peeu-
liar i'm this matter. There are very few
high educational institutions that are
not cramped for means, and constantly
soliciting contributions. If thew were
fever in number, they would be better
and more useful.
