Keep Your Premises Clean.

Do this at once before hot weather
sets in, and before the Board of
Health officer visits you and in
spects your premises.
Empty and disinfect your privy
vaults and cess pools, cart away
and burn or bury all refuse accumu-
lations, both from within the house
and from the premises.
Look after your cellars. All de-
caying or sprouting vegetables must
be removed therefrom with all ac-
cumulations of rubbish of every
kind, and should be burned. The
cellar walls should be whitewashed
with fresh lime, and every possible
facility should be given for the en-
trance of fresh air and Sunshine.
Clean your woodsheds and store
rooms and remove from them all
rubbish or material that may ac-
cumulate mould or dampness or may
become in any way unhealthful.
Look after your barns and back
yards in the same way.
The difficulty of keeping pig pens
in cleanly and inoffensive con-
dltlon is so great that they will not
be allowed in the city when they
become offensive and are pronounced
nuisance.
Look after your water supply and
be very sure that it is a pure one.
Do not use water from wells that
incure the drainage from cess pools
and privy vaults.
Freely admit fresh air and sun
shine into your houses-there are no
purifiers or diSmfecta,ats that can
take the place Of fresh air and sun
Isght, and no room from aohjch they
are excluded can ever be heazthful.
Houses in which there has been
any contagious disease should re-
caive special attention and disinfect-
ants thoroughly used in houses and
privy vaults.
Let every citizen first see that his
own premises are in good sanitary
condition and he then has the right
to require that his neighbor's prem
ises are also put and kept in like
state, and to invoke the municipal
power if necessary to obtain that
result. Filth, foul odors and
polluted water supplies are no re.
spectors of persons, and no virture
or cure on ones own part can save
him from the consequences of his
neighhor's neglect.
Apply to DR.. Eastman, Board of
Health officer, for disinfection
receipts. ALBERT w. COBB,
Mavor

HONOR THE BRAVE DEPARTED
Beautiful and Touching Memorial Ser
vices in Mineral Point.
The Post, the Corps and the Camp
well Perform their Duty.

On Sunday memorial services, with
an appropriate and able sermon by the
pastor, Rev. J. Fl. McManus, were
held at the NJ. E. church, and were
attended by the veterans, the SONS Of
veterans, and by many others.
On Monday morning, despite the
heavy falling rain, the graves of the
soldiers il cemeteries of the city were
decorated with flowers, by details from
Geo. H. Legate post, No. 125, G. A. r.,
and G. G. Washburn camp. No. Is,
S. of Y.
Arrangements had been made for
very imposing procession from the
hall of George Fl. Legate post to the
park, in the afternoon, in which the
members of the G. A. r., S. of v,
the Knights of Pythias, st. Joseph
Society and other organizations would
take part; but on account of the con-
tinued down pour of rain, this part
Of the program had to be abandoned,
and the exercises were held in the
city hall.
Commander d. E. Jacobs announced
the program, and Adiutant J. 81.
Tyack read the orders from the
national headquarters.
Rev. S. r. Chubb, chaplain of the
day, offered up a fervent prayer; and
then followed music by the Mineral
Point band. The choir, consisting
of Mrs. Mary Priestley, Misses
Nellie McSherry, Sallie Jacko and
Josephine Engels, and Messrs James
Kober and Richard Hughes, sang
"Bury me with q. A. r. Badge on
my Breast"
Next came most beautiful memori-
al service by the school children. Miss
Beulah Richards appeared as the God
ess of Liberty, accompanied by forty
five little girls, each bearing the stars
and stripes and representing a diff
fferent state, which was designated
by red letters on white crown;
and each paid her tribute in flowers
and verse to the heroes who died
to preserve the Union. They also
sang in chorus the last stanza of the
national ode America. For this ex-
cellent feature great credit is due to
ladies of the Relief corps, who prepared
the crowns and wreaths and trained
the children.
After good music by the band, Miss
Bessie Hutchison recited "The Blue
and the Gray" as only a true elocu-
tionist could; and the audience mani
tested their keen appreciation.
The choir then sang 90 Guard that
Banner while l Sleep" and DR.. J. II.
Vivian introduced the speaker, De-
partment Chaplain Rev. Milton Wells,
who delivered one of the best memor-
ial addresses ever listened to in Min
eral Point. It was truly Christian,
manly and patriotic; it was thoughtful
and instructive; and while the rever-
end gentlemen paid a just tribute to
the dead he taught wholesome lesson
to the living.
The Sons of Veterans fired salute
in front of the hall, and the exercises
closed by the entire company singing

APoSsIRLE msOUEAL.-

The report that Bardsley, the defaulting
Treasurer of Philadelphia, is becoming
extremely weary of Imprisonment and is
approaching the point where he will be
ready to do what in lower class of the
criminal profession is called ''squealing, Z"
indicates promise that the Treasury
scandals are not over so completely as was
supposed.
The probing Of that enormous steal last
year was halted by Bardsley's refusal to
testify. For a man practically sentenced
to life imprisonment, the punishment for
refusal to answer questions in court has
no terrorS; and the case seemed to be
ended when Bardsley definitely assumed
the character of an acquiescent scapegoat
The public was to be pardoned for leaping
to the conclusion that if there had been no
other regulations to hide, Bardsley would
not have refused to testify, and that i'm
preston was strengthened by the prompt
ness with which the political organs of
Philadelphia proceeded to abuse a reliable
Journalist for publishing some alleged pri-
vate tslk of Bardsley's, the force of which
was taken away by that criminals subse-
quent denial.
But if Bardsley has, as is reported,
wearied OF the part of sole sufferer, there
Is promise of further music The hint of
the thing would be sufficient to set into
activity all the agencies that have been
suppressing disclosures Tor the past year.
But the weakness of those agencies at
present lies in the fact that this would
open up stage of the proceedings that
they cannot control If Bardsley wishes
to turn States evidence in the hope of
securing mitigation of his punishment
he must deal with the State administra-
ton, and whatever casuistry may say as to
the morality of pardoning one criminal In
the hope of bringing down bigger game, it
is not to be expected that the Democratic
leaders will rise so far above human
motives as to refuse the chance of making
some further and startling disclosures.

4 GREAT JURIsT GONE.

The death of Justice Bradley, of the
United States Supreme Court, removes
from that body one of It's oldest and in
his time most vigorous members. Justice
Bradley was appointed by President
Grant in 1870, and his record in that i'm
portant position gives him rank among
the greatest constitutional! authorities.
Not Only by his decisions but by his dis
sent to some famous rulings in which that
body had got itself mixed up on Constitu-
tioGal functions, Justice Bradley made a
reputation fer Independent and unerring
iogic and close adherence to the COnStitu-
tionaI standards.
Perhaps the strongest indication of his
clear-sightedneSS has been furnished by
his dissent to the hazy decisions on inter-
State commerce regulation, by which the
majority of the Supreme Court has left that
question in an inextricable muddle, and
the error of which, Justice Bradley showed
conctusively in his dissenting opinions.
His casting vote on the Electoral Com
mission unfortunately brought his judicial
position into politics. The rulings which
gave him the nickname of "Alunde
Joe, will always remain a matter of poll
teal dispute as long as party divisions re-
main as they are now: but outside of that
case his rank as a juTist Of eminent abil-
ity and unimpeachable integrity is be-
yond question.

THEaFRIcAN1STHE LUMBER

The colored gentleman in the woodpile
of Senator Stanford's bill to have the Gov
ernment lend some hundreds of millions
| on real estate security at 2 per cent.
was brought to light by Senator Mitchell's
pointed question on Thursday. To his
| inquiry whether under the bill corpora
| tions owning large bodies of land, such as
land grant railroads, could not borrow
money of the Government at 2 per cent,
Senator Sanford was compelled to reply
in the affirmative.
The California Senator is one of the
largest stockholders in the corporation
which holds to-day the largest land grant
given by the Government. The relations
between the land grant corporation and
the Government are of the most unSatiS-
factory character; and it is nOtoriously
managed with the express purpose of es-
Gaping the repayment of the subsidy which
the Government lent it in addition to the
land gift. 1t would be notable addition
if Senator Stanford and his associates
could get some scores of millions more out
of the Government for an indefinite period
at . per cent interest. But the people of
the United States may not only fail to see
where they will lie benefited thereby, but
may think that Senator Stanford and the
rest OF the Central Pacific have already
got rich enough out of the Government
bounty.
The prospect of haul of this sort, to-
gether with the opportunity of cultivating
q little cheap popularity with the Farmers
Alliance enthusiasts, affords an ample ex-
planaticn for Senator Stanford'S remarha-
BILE bill

AN OLD ERROR,

The difficulty in overcoming precon-
ceived notions on any subject is strikingly
illustrated by the stereotyped explanation
with regard to boiler explosions The
New York Telegram in commenting upon
recent locomotive boiler explosion af-
fords an example of the sort by saving:
''In this instance the explosion which tore
the bodies of engineer and fremen to
shreds and hurled the head of one of them
quarter of a mile is attributed to the fact
that the water was allowed to get too low.
1t is satisfactory to know that it was not
due to any inherent, undiscoverable and
unpreventible defect in the locomotive. :"
In the statement of the case given above,
it first appears that the only persons who
knew anything about the stage of water in
the boiler were killed. But the old theory
that explosions are due to that cause sug-
gested the stereotyped guess; and con-
sequently the explanation is accepted
without dispute. This, too, in the face of
the fact that more than ten years ago
it was demonstrated by the Munhall
farm experiments in this city, %
that boilers could be run empty,
heated to red heat, and then have the
cold water turned in upon them without
producing an explosion; and, (2r that
strong and new boiler filled with water
raised under pressure to a superheated
point could be blown into shreds by SIM
ply opening the throttle valve.
