THE WATER SUPPLY AND TYPHOID.

From The San Francisco Argonaut.
II may be truthfuy said that entire immunity
may be gained from typhoid by avoiding infected
food and water. Yet there are many large cities
In this country whose entire water supply II moro
or less polluted Chicago discharges her sewage
into Lake Michigan and takes her drinking water
from the same place Boston, Philadelphia ana
many other cities take their water supply from
ties and receiving sewage therefrom. San Fran.
cisco is OF the few large cities In the country
whose water supply Is uncontaminated. The water.
sheds which feed Its catchment system are almost
entirely free from dwellings and from animal life.
Most Of the land within the catchment area II
owned or controlled by the water company 1t 10
TO the advantage OF the company to see that the
we have said. that San Francisco has the purest
water supply Of any large city In the United
States
This statement is strIkingly borne out by the an
nual report OF the health officer OF San Francisco
for the last fiscal year In 1t. the total number Of
deaths is given as 6s73. and Of these ll3 are
ascribed to typhoid fever. The population OF this
city is about 100000; II our death rate from ty-
phoid the same II IL in Munich now (Which
Is called a low rate) the number of deaths would
be 3l2, or nearly three times what II is here.

The first bill that has failed to pass the
senate was Senator Blackman's, which came
up yesterday. 1t called for appropria-
tion of S., 600 for the construction of pub
lie bridge across the north fork of the John
Day river on the Heppner-C Canyon City
road. The object was good one, ,and many
of the senators recognized it, but the reason
it tailed to pass was that it was considered
unconstitutional, according to decision
rendered by the supreme court OF this state
IN the case of Maxwell vs. TIllamook
county, in which it was held that the legis-
lature could not legally appropriate money
for such purposes. The action of the senate
yesterday will kill large number Of such
bills. Senator Maxwell, for one, had bill
prepared to appropriate S2l, 900 for public
wagon road from the west line of the CIR md
Ronde Indian reservation down Slab creek
and along the coast over Cape Lookout to
the south boundary OF Ciatsop county,
passing through Tillamook aud Bay City.
but no effort will be made to introduce 1t
now, although its object was good one.

Auscdote Of DanIeI Webster.

Webster had habit, while speaking,
of putting on old-fashioned spectacles,
whose arms rested over the ears. After
reading the passage desired, he used to
raise the spectacles from his nose and
shove them up over his forehead until
they rested on his head. One day
waggish member sitting In the next seat
to Mr.. Webster showed his own spectacles
in front of Webster, who had already one
pair on his head. Bending to pick up
some book, be picked up the new spect-
acles at the same time and adjusted them
to read. Then up the second pair went
to join company with the first pair above
the massive forehead. The wag, grin
ming over the success of his trick, bor-
rowed another pair of spectacles and
placed them before the great orator, who
was too much excited 10 notice. In due
time he had occasion to read again, and
seized the spectacles before him. As a
matter of course, the third pair shared
the fate of the two preceding, and Web
ster was astonished to find everybody's
face wearing a broad smile, and es-
pecislly the face of Mr.. Haynes, of South
Carolina, whose arguments he was an
swering in his best style
"The gentleman may smile and smile,"
Mr.. Webster roared out, suddenly inter-
rupting the course of his argument,
shaking his head sngrily, and pointing a
finger at Mr.. Haynes, "but he only makes
of himself spectacle for the derislon of
his countryman."
At the same moment the three pairs OF
spectacles fell upon the orater's desk and
there was general roar of merrlment.

Should be Remedled,

We have received the first biennial report
of the state board of charities and correc-
tions for the partial biennial period ending
Dec. 81, 1892. This Is very complete in all
details of the work done bv this board,
with illustrations of different jails in the
state. We have not had time to carefully
peruse the contents, but from cursory
glance should judge that there are bar
barities imposed upon criminals II this state
for which the humanity of the people
should demand a remedy. The modern
idea of Imprisonment is feformatory, and 1t
is not necessary, in any instance, to place
the conditions surrounding the criminal so
that thev. would undermine his health and
make bin charge on the county or state.
In publishing the state of affairs In the
disease. breeding prisons in Oregon the state
board has done a good work, and, while
every American citizen shudders at the hor-
rors of Siberia, they should not quietly al
low jails in almost every town which would
cause a Russian official or Turkish satrap
to blush with shame. Crime should be
punished, but the punishment should not be
of such nature that would undermine the
physical health of tine person and send him
to the grave.

A New Process.

A new process of putting up Ice is the
latest Garfield county industry we have
heard of. Five-gallon cans are filled with
water and allowed to stand until ice has
formed at the sides and ends of sufficient
thickness to hold the water. The can is
then warmed by fire until the contents
can be detached without breaking the Ice,
when it Is carefully removed and laid out
in the open air where it soon freezes into
a solid block. Ice will form in this man.
ner at much higher temperature than
on ponds where the body of water is
much larger, and it is said that one man
may, with the use of fifty cans, put up
from 1000 to 250U pounds each day. Mrs.
Mary Kuhl, it is said, is putting up ice in
this way at reasonable cost. One great
advantage in this method, which should
commend it to all ice consumers, is pure
water can be used and the article will al
ways be of the very best quality.

How to Tell q Good Horse.

A man who has true appreciation of the
noble animal give the following rules by
which to tell good horse: "Unless horse
has brains he is not teachable. A horse that
has breadth and fulluess between the ears
and eye, will not act mean or hurt anyone.
The eye should be full and hazel color, the
ears small and thin and point forward, the
face straight with square muzzle and large
nostrils. The under side of the head should
be well cut under tine jaw with jaw.bone
broad, and wide apart under the throttle.
The back short and straight and square
rump, high withers, shoulder well set back.
and broad but not deep into the chest, fore
feet short, hind legs pretty straight, fet-
locks low down, pastern-joint short with
round mulish foot. There are all kinds of
horses, but the animal that has all these
points is almost sure TO be slightly, graceful,
good natured and serviceable."

Logical Answer.

The brilliant college elocutionist, Col. T.
w. Higginson, who is disseminating free.
trade doctrines before the college clubs Of
New England and the Middle states, under
the employment of the Democracy, in a re.
cent speech at Cambridge, Mass, said. that
it seemed hard thing to believe half GEN.
tury ago that a man could be worth a mil
lion dollars. He called for sympathy for
the hard-day worker of that day. and for
the poor cotton spinner and weaver of this
day. A cotton-splnner present pertinently
said: 81, too, can remember when million
aires were scarce in this country. At that
time l followed pair of mules thirteen
hours a day for S. per week; now can
earn, spinning on fine work. $40 per week
of 81 hours.D Did free trade do it?

2215 Differ II ence
The Royal" the Strongest and
Purest Baking Powder.

Whether any other baking powder is equal to
Royal, let the official reports decide When
s1e different powders were purchased on the open
market and examined by Prof. Chandler, of the
New-Iork Board Of Health, the result showed that
Royal Baking Powder contained twenty-seven
per cent greater strength than any other brand.
When compared in money value, this difference
would be as follows
If one pound OF Royal Baking Powder sells
{or 50 cents,
One pound of no other powder is worth over
So cents
If another baking powder is forced upon you
by he grocer ii place of the Royal, see that you
arc charged the correspcndingly lower price.

Will Recover.

Conductor Fred Seeley was in Pendleton
Tuesday evening on his return from Grants
Pass. His brother, Edward, was not so
dangerously wounded as at first supposed,
and will recover.
Ed, however, had his anatomy pretty
badly riddled. The wound that it was
feared might prove fatal was in the abdo-
men. 1t transpired, however, that the bull
let struck no vital part. 1t emerged just
above the hip. He was shot also three
times in the arm. The elbow cap was shot
away, and his arm and forearm punctured.
Another bullet struck the left leg, and an
other the left shoulder blade. So it will be
seen that Eds escape from some mortal in
jury was exceedingly fortunate.
The trouble happened oyer a dispute
about mining property. Frank, Fred and
Edward Seeley and James Moore own
valuable claim twelve miles from Grants
Pass. 1t was unlawfully jumped by
father and two sons named StoYer. The
latter were perturbed when Ed came down
to take possession of the claim, and trouble
nearly occurred the day before the shoot
ing, over attempts of the Stovers to carry
away ore.
On the morning Of the attack Ed Seeley,
VIM Thompson anu another man were in
the cabin at the claim. Old man Stover
visited them, but was seen to have pistol
in mis- overcoat pocket and was warned not
to approach. Ed had gone out to meet him,
and as they were talking the Stover broth
ers, who were in ambush near, opened fire
On him and continued their gun practice
until they ran out of ammunition. Ed tell
at the first fire, and Thompson, who went
,ut to succor him. received bullet in the.
high. The other man with him made his
escape. He ran like deer. and after going
i've miles, borrowed horse to ride to
Grants Pass, where he gave the alarm.
The wounded men were four or FIVE hours |
n the cabin before relief came. The Sto. |
vers were placed under arrest. They freely |
omitted their intention to kill the parties |
n the cabin, and the feeling is high against

The doors of the U. s. Banking Co.'S
bank at Gervais were closed to busi-
ness Monday. There are three banks,
one at Gervais, another at Junction City,
and still another at Sheridan, and the sec
ond suspended as soon as the funds were
exhausted. So far no run has been made
on the Sheridan branch. There are be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 on deposit in
the Gervais bank, unpaid, in amounts
ranging from $500 down to small sums.
Most of the merchants drew out Satur-
day, and hence the farmers are the prin-
cipal losers. No one knows the reason of
the rumor, but it prevailed Saturday and
run was made. Yesterday afternoon all
the banks property in Gervals was at
tached by the sheriff, amounting to $25OO,
and there was only 81 found in the vault.

fund, now in the hands of the state treas
urer, says the Salem Statesman, which was
introduced simultaneously by Senator
Blackman, of Morrow, and Representative
King, of Malheur, is now In the hands of
the committees and will be reported to-day.
The governor favors the plan of distributing
the money according to the area OF the coun.

the assertion that the Eastern Oregon coun-

funds, said the middle and western portions
of the state had been remembered at various
times, by way of appropriations for schools,
