SEWAGE TREATMENT.I
Perfect Success of New System Intro
duced in England.

from the LONDON Ilmes.l
In the various systems of sewage treat
ment that have been introduced from time
to time, the principle generally adopted
has been to treat the sewage at the point
where it is collected for deodorization and
disposal. This necessarily involves the
unchecked formation of gases in the sew
ers through which the sewage passes, and
which gases have TO be dealt with by ven
tilation-which means their emission into
the atmosphere-or by other means.
After having devoted several years to
the practical study of the question E. Har-
ris Reaves claims that he has perfected a
system of sewage treatment which goes to
the root of the evil He deodorizes the
sewage as it is run into the sewers from
the houses, or even attacks it in the houses
themselves, and thus prevents the forma-
ton OF sewer gases; but if they should be
formed they are at once rendered inodorous
and innocuous.
This is effected by placing in the man
holes in the streets small earthenware
apparatus containing two chemicals, which
in combination act simultaneously on the
gas present in the sewers and on the sew
age itself.
The chemicals employed are strong sui

4Will God never forgive a sinner?

"Will God never forgive a sinner? Is
there a sin so great that it cannot be
atoned ?" prayed Manuel aloud, in his
agony. "He will carry the sick Pablo
home on his shoulders. He will give him
the last drop OF water, the last morsel of
food, if he can only buy Pablo's life with
the price of his own"
Never was there night so black, so long
and so hopeless. The wind has become a
gale, and peals of distant thunder waken
echoes from a hundred hills. The wind
rushes through the forest with the fury of
demon, and Manuel draws his comrade
closer to his side.
A sound in the distance as of giant cas-
cade; the roar of falling water; peal of
thunder that shakes the earth, and the tor
rent breaks. Manuel moves the sick man
to place of safety and draws off his coat to
shelter him from the storm, and weary of
watching thus finds rest
In the morning Pablo's fever had passed
its crisis His life was saved. The storm
had made weird changes in the valley.
Where yesterday was the rock-slde cave,
there was now the edge of mountain
waterfall. The deluge had washed away
the earth, dug from their places huge rocks,
and followed out deepgullies where so lately
they had sought for gold, and at their feet
there lay goodrich nuggets of pure gold,
such as the Indian had shown to them,
such as Pablo had prattled of in his fevered
sleep. The lost mine was found.
That, my son, is the story of the Golden
Fall. Pablo and Angela? Our Angela

Slowly the time creeps on. The min
utes seem hours, and the hours ages to
Manuel. Is this penalty laid upon him
for the crime of yesterday crime that
lacked not his viii to make it murder ?
The night air grows strangely cool, and
the fresheping wind chills the watching
man to the bone. He takes of his blanket
and rolls it around his sleeping comrade.
The trees bend TO and fro, and fallen
branch crashes down the gorge, awaken
ing the call of frightened nightbird and
the howl of wolf Restlessly Pablo rolls
on his pillow muttering words whose
meaning ManuePs ear can not catch.

THEY VILE BE DISAPPOINTED.

The Chicago Herald" remarks that
some. conception OF the distress existing
among farmers in the west Is to be had
from the fact that so many of the So
called Oklahoma boomers are men who
have found the pursuit of agriculture
too hard in various western states, and
who imagine that matters can be i'm
proved in the new region now to be
opened. a"t"1 aa .: aaff
Unhappily for them they will be dis
appointed. The fault Is moi, so much
with the lands that they are leaving, or
with the markets which they are ready
to abandon. as it is with the economic
conditions which are co-extensi,e with
the republic. The farmer pays most of
the taxes that are raised in this country.
He sells his products in the cheapest mar
ket. Everything that he buys is pur-
chased in the dearest market.
The victim Of a false and vicious sys-
tenn Of taxation, the prey Of trusts, COM
bines and private taxes, he will find that
the monopoly tariff and all its works
will be as potent for evils in Oklahoma as,
in Illinois, Missouri, Iowa or Kansas,

As soon as he landed on the island he

One Of the main receptions of the pro.
tective tariff is the allegation that with.
out the tariff, there would be, no manu-
features, and without manufactures there
would be no agricultural prosperity. As
a matter Of fact the tariff has destroyed
many lines of legitimate manufacture,
and in the states where manufacturing
is most extensively engaged in there has
been for twenty years past a steady de-
probation in the value Of farm lands and
an increasing exodus from the farms.
At present there is a furious rush by
thousands Of farmers toward Oklahoma,
when millions Of acres OF land equally
desirable in the eastern and middle states
a be had for a song. If The tariff con-
tention that protected monopolies enrich
the farmers is true, why is it that SO

To Take the Kinks Out.

Inquiry at the Office OF the Street Rail.
road Company yesterday as to the cause
OF the stoppage of the cable was answered
with the announcement that the cable had
developed a severe case OF kinks on Thurs
day night. At a late hour on that evening
q very pronounced kink threw the cable
of the sheave at Main and ,Galena. The
engineer in the engine house at once noticed
the slack and stopped the machinery. At
the time there was a car at Centerville
coming down and one vt the p~ostofice In
Butte. Both were backed safely down by
their brakes. the first to the car house and
the other to the terminus. The cause of
the kinking in the cable is the unusually
close twist OF the strands. The stoppage
yesterday was to take the kinks out oil the
cable which, it was expected at the office,
would be finished by to-day.

naturally suppose that, after the Caring

would remain shady OF this subject; but
perhaps they are still talking loud to de-
