che Health Question.

DIR. R. T. Gray, superintendent
of the board of health, is having
some very important work done.
There is going to be a Wild waking
up among those who permit pest
holes, Shiny sinks and other disease
breeders to exist upon their rremis-
es. There should be no compromise
with people who maintain nui-
sance upon their premises--and the
man that cannot live in the city
without one should move out to the
country where he would endanger
the lives of less people.

Fire Ordinance.

There should be an ordinance re-
stricting or prohibiting persons from
placing Or storing infiamable mater
ial near dwellings, or business houses
within the city limits exposed. So
that by the accidental dropping of a
lighted match, cigar or cigarette in it,
fires might be set that would endan-
ger thousands of dollars worth of
of property. 1t is unfair to the in
dividual whose property is thus en-
dangered, and it is unfair to the In
surance Company that is earring the
risks. We know of places that need
attention and due notice have been
given of them

try and if the weather bad (Which is
usually the case during the winter)
are much exposed and suffer no lit
tie. A court house is county prop
erty; it is built for the county and
country people are interested in
having decent and respectable
place in which to mold their courts.
It is the temple Of justice and let us
have . BETTING temple. Let us
have one that would be . credit to
the county in which it is built. The

There is something scathing-in
fact there is something scorching in
Mr.. Webster's attack on Colonel
Fairbrother, which appeared IN last
weeks issue of the Reidsville Week
ly. After Colonel Fairbrother has
been SO merciless in his abuse of
certain members of the State press
upon the most trivial provocations
he cannot afford to tamely submit to
Mr.. Webster's remarks without re-
tort or defense unless he is entirely
Indifferent of the public estimate
that must inevitably follow such a
course. 1t won't do to bully one
man and beg another. No it won't.

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 1.--Thewill Of
the late Lyman G. Draper has been
placed ON file in the probate court of
Dane county. A peculiar feature of the
document is that it forbids to G. w.
Butterfeld, of Omaha, access to the
manuscripts left by DIR. Draper. After
the death of Mrs. Draper the homestead
is to go to the State Historical society
for library purposes. The executors of
the will are the widow, Mrs. Draper,
E. A. Hayes, of Hillsdale, Cal, and the
Hon. A. P. Morris, of this city. DIR.
Draper left most of his possessions to the
State Historical society, the monument
of his own creation. After providing for
all debts and his funeral expenses he be-
queathed to his widow the use of his
homestead during her life with all need
full repairs, insurance and taxes thereon
and all the furniture and ALSO an annuity
of $1,000 annually. His library and
historical manuscripts are bequeathed
to the state historical society, with the
express condition that G. w. Butterfeld,
now of Omaha, Neb., is not directly OF
indirectly to have access to them. The
c. W. Butterfeld referred to is histo-
rian of some note, and who at one time
made his headquarters at Madison.
