THE WATER NOT POISONOUS.
Chemist Hurty's Analyses of Samples of White
River Water at and Near Noblesville.

Chemist j. n. Hurry has analysed four
samples of White-river water taken from
points at and one, two and three miles be-
low the straw-board-works at Noblesville.
The analysis showed nothing poisonous or
unwholesome at the works. though the wa
ter there contained double the usual
amount of vegetable organic matter.
A mile further down unwholesome
traces of the decomposition of this
matter were noted. which gradually
decreased further down until they disap-
peared. No poisonous metallic substances
appeared. There is no doubt" said Prof.
Hurry, that all traces of the refuse from
those works are gone by the time the water
reaches this city. though 1t has an un-
wholesome effect a few miles below
the works. The matter is not poi
sonous when dumped in but it becomes
so by decomposition. A man might have a
vat of beef tea that was wholesome and
nutritious food, but in time it would be-
come rank poison and still later there
would be nothing of it at all. The refuse
from these works goes through precisely
that process. If dead fish have been dis
covered in the river they have probably

and most of them, particularly suckers and
catfish. find their element In polluted
water"
Last evening Professor Hurry handed to
DR.. Metcalf, secretary of the State Board
of Health, under the direction of which
the analyses were, made his report. In
that he gives the following findings and
conclusions, the parts being in 100000.

The New Apportionment.

The senate gave evidence yesterday
that no disposition exists to obstruct or
delay legitimate business. The appor-
tlonment bill was brought to vote and
passed by strict party vote. Demo-
cratic opposition to the bill was based
on its alleged unfairness to some Demo
cratic States, and in particular to the
metropolitan districts in New York,
through basing the apportionment on q
grossly defective census. Notwith-
standing this dissatisfaction there was
no attempt to prevent action upon it.
The ratio of representation to popu'
lation under the new law is one to 173,
901. The total number for the present
States is 356, apportioned among the
States as follows:

allowed to the four States of Illinois.
Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Texas.
Three additional members are given to
the State of Nebraska.
No change is made in existing law as
to the manner of districting and elect

A Salt Lake dispatch notices the
death of Lucy Decker Young. one of
the polygamous widows of Brigham
Young. She was the first wife taken
by him after Joe Smith got his "Reve-
lation on Celestial Marriage" This
came about in this way. Smith had
persuaded number eff women to CO.
habit with him, calling them his spirit
ual wives. His legal wife. to whom he
was married in 1927, became jealous,
and to pacify her he received, 1843, a
revelation authorizing polygamy which
at first denounced by the heads of the
church, was few years later openly
defended. Brigham Young, who join
ed the Mormons at Kirkland, O., in 1892
was one of the Twelve Apostles at the
death of Smith, and was unanimously
chosen to the Presidency. On August
20, 1852, he proclaimed the revelation
of Joseph Smith, and his influence was
SO great that he had little difficulty in
securing its admission as one of the
doctrines of the church. He sat his af-
fections.upon Lucy Decker Seely, the
lawful wife of DR.. Seely, Of Nauvoo,
ILL.,, and after the High Council of the
church, at his direction, had set the
Seely marriage aside, Young married
the released woman. This is the, wo-
man whose death is just announced.

Democrats Assured by Republicans
that the Measure is Defunct.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Tt is a mat
ter of talk about the capitol that sever
al republican senators-sufficien in
number to meet the needs of the dem
ocrats-had assured the democratic
managers in the senate that under no
circumstances would they vote again
to take up the elections bill this ses-
sion. Inquiry shows that there is a
basis of truth in the report. 1t cannot
be learned that anything like formal
pledges on the subject have passed,
but it is certainly matter of assurance
among the democratic senators that
the bill is not to arise again to trouble
them, and they have notified their
party friends in the house that there is
no longer any necessity to let the pos
sibility of q return Of the elections bill
to the house enter into their calcula-
tions when considering the order of
business In that body. So, too, it is
learned on the republican side of the
senate chamber that any effort to re-
sumo the consideration Of tue bill will
be resisted by certain republican wes-
tern senators, though these sanators do
not care to be quoted in the matter.

THE AMERICAN FARMER.
What has Protection Done for Him
and Why Does He not Call a Halt

What has Protection Done for Him,
and Why Does He not Call a Halt?
Fifty years ago the writer was engag-
ed in farming on the rough AID rugged
hills of New England. For the last
forty years he has been a western man,
and while he has not been engaged all
the time in agricultural pursuits. yet he
has watched with an anxious eye the
object of his first love-the American
farmer. I find he has been working
hard here in this great west till he has
grown round-shouldered and gray, with
as good country to make money out
of as can be found on the face Of the
earl h. And yet has he got rich? If he
has not, why is 1t? Let us see If we can
find any reason. Did he get any more
for that wheat, or pork, or corn, or oats
crop than he would have got had there
been no protective tariff? Common
sense tells us that the law of supply and
demand regulates prices. The farmer
has been paying from 35 to 40 per cent
more on everything he actually needed
on account ofprotection, and received
no more for his products on account OF
1t. He has simply helped to enrich a
small minority at the expense of the
masses-I mean such of the farmers as
favored protection. Now let US see how
the farmers stand to-day as compared
with other invaatmaY1ts,

THE OFFICIAL FIGURES.

Showing the Population of the State
as the Basis for the Reapportion-
ment.
COLUMBUS, Jan. 20. Secretary OF
State Ryan has received from the su-
perintendent of the census at Washing
ton the corrected and official figures
giving the enumeration of the State by
counties, taken In June last. On these
figures will be based the apportionment
for senators and representatives for the
ensuing decennial period. In 1880 the
total population of the State was $685.
062, as compared with 4,672, ,316 at pres
ent, an increase of 14.83 per cent. Mr..
Ryan states that these are the only of
fetal and correct figures published, and
in support of this cites the fact that in
a Cincinnati paper this morning state
ment was made placing the population
100, 900 less than given by the superin.
tendent of the census. The population
by counties is as follows:

he failed to procure and was remanded to

the common pleas investigation will divulge
who were his companions in crime and, also
the ones who have committed many other
felonous acts during the last year. His speedy
