SEWERS CLOGGED Up.
Horrible Condition Of Our Sanitary
System.
MORE DANGEROUS THAN NONE ITILL.

Discoveries Made by street Connais-
sIoner Naylor in Examining che
sewers-FIushing Nay Remedy the
Evil.
Acting Street Commissioner Dave Nay
lor says that in carrying out Mayor Har-
rison's orders to flush an the sewers and
keep them flushed. he has found q start
ling condition in some of the big sewers,
but more especially the laterals- In many
cases the sewers were So completely
clogged up that when a stream Of water
from hydrant was emp1ied into them
passage could not be effected, and the
manholes were overlooked.
1J was necessary TO clean out all the
sewers before the flushing could be done
with any degree of effectiveness. All Of
the sewers east Of the Kansas avenue
nave been cleaned and the street force lis
now working on the west side sewers.
"All this stuff has been lying ia the
sewers for months decaying," says Nay
lor SIS It any wonder that the sanitary
condition Of the city has not been go0d3
1T is easy to understand why the people
IN the west end of town stuffed up the
man-holes with rags to stop the sewer
gas. Before this the rain has always
been depended upon to keep the sewers
open FMS is all right in seasons when
there happens TO be plenty of rain, but
Ia dry season ike we have had since
spA4A4 th9 sewers must pc lusneu or
they Will clog up"
The other part Of the mayors order
that the cutters Of the paved streets be
flushed twice week, is being carried
out with good success. Kansas avenue
AMI Harrison street, and in fact an Of the
asphalt paved streets, have been flushed.
On Sunday morning Harrison street, the
church street." was cleaner than the
sidewalks. The force is flushing the
paved alleys today, and Sixth street and
Topeka avenue viii be flushed before
the end Of tie week.
BIT Naylor says it is cheaper to flush
Kansas avenue than to sweep it, The
flushing. It is expected, VIII he better
done hereafter. sunday morning the
mud and banana peels were in the mid
die of the street instead of the cutters.
The new mode of cleaning the princi-
pal streets may be resorted to entirely. Tt
costs S5 to sweep Kansas avenue and
about SIS more to clean the cutters the
next morning 1T costs not to exceed 81
TO flush the avenue.

that the eX-queen is in danger Of death is

also that constitutional weakness of heart
must have been severely aggravated by
the intense and prolonged anxiety of her

the islands to the United States against
the VIII of the queen. he initiates Presi-

The circular issued BY the Pupulist

ing that they preach on the causes of the
present financial and social condition,
has been replied to in several Instances.
and has also been acted upon by the
ministerial union.
Bishop Thomas of the Episcopal church
has rendered his reply. He said he
would lecture any time this week that
would be suitable to the league.
The ministerial union however has
made the subject a special order for the
next meeting Of the union, and has in-
vited the Populist committee to partici-
pate ia the discussion.
Some Of the ministers opposed bring
ing the matter into their churches by
preaching sermons and thought the best
way to gain the desired results was 20
allow each minister to give his ideas Of
the cause of the present social condi-
lions at the ministerial union meetings.
