Washburn Crosby Co. wish to assure their many
patrons that they will this year hold to their usual
custom of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the
new crop is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the
market, and owing to the excessively dry weather
many mllers are of the opinion that it is already
cured and in proper condition for milling. Wash
burn Crosby Go. will take NO RISKS, and will allow
the new wheat fully three months to mature before
grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn- Crosby Co.'s flour far above all
other brands.

Daisy Night Pleasantly Celebrated b,
q Lodge.

Lodge.
Under the efYicient MANAGEMENT OF Sec
ton A, Silver Star Lodge LOOT, of Ten
leytown, Daisy night was celebrated with
great eclat. The lodge room was profusely
decorated with the honored flower. The
program was replete with the daisy. Mrs.
A. z. Shoemaker read an interesting essay
on the white and yellow field beautifier and
quartet Of male members conducted a
humorous debate on the question Shall
the Daisy Be- Our National Flower" Sec
ton A then made itself more popular by
dispensing refreshments OF fruit salad cake
and lemonade. Souvenir cards were pre-
scented to every guest. The lodge has dou-
bled its membership the past quarter.
Dangerous Cars.
Mr.. w. II. Brswton, while running On
Thursday night at Tenleytown to catch a
downtown car. was struck by one passing
in the opposite direction. knocked down
and much bruised. For a time he was I'M
conscious: He was taken to his home and
put to bed. He ID still confined. The Ten
leytown citizens complain that the electric
cars pass through their town at too high a
rate or speed. particularly as the tracks are
within twelve inches of the sidewalk, and
therefore doubly dangerous.
Notes.
Mr.. r. Z. Elliott Of Washington ana Miss
Mary Cummings of Tenleytown were mar
ried privately on Thursday evening. Later
there was a reception rendered the couple
at the residence Of the brides mother
large crowd of small people left the

Mr. W. c. Dodge was then recognized
to oppose the bill; that Ia. he wanted TO op-
pose IL in part. He was willing to make
the appropriation for the improvement of
the sewers Of the city. but he did not want
to adopt the other portion Of the plan to
improve the streets and avenues Of. the
suburbs; M. Dodge was not willing that
the burdens OF the taxpayers should be in
creased to benent those who would profit
by the beneft Of streets. He made the
point that the District could not afford to
Increase its debt for this purpose. The
sewers. but the shoulders Of the taxpayers
could not stand an additional 100000 IL
were to be spent for street Improvement
he read a long statement as to the fnancia
CONDITION OF the District. Mr.. Dodge then
proceeded to refute the statements made
by Commissioners Truesdell at the last meet
ing 81 the committee that the county has
oeen disseminated against In making i'm
provements. Mr.. Dodge stated that the
county does not pay one cent OF the sink
ing lund interest and never has.
That IL very extraordinary statement"
interrupted Commissioner Truesden who
vas present. and 1 ask you to produce
Mr.. Dodge declared that he could. and said
that from 1879 to 1894 there had be-. an eY
pended on the county S,4s4.Ol5. while the
taxts assessed Were only H.9l7,14 making
a total Of sa3cS7o Of expenditures in excess
OF what the county paid. Commissioners
Truesdell challenged this statement. and said
II Is not fair and that the figures upon which
II Is based are not correct. The expenditure.
should be charged up not only against the
revenues derived from taxation. but also
against the amornt contributed by the
United States. Mr.. Truesdell said that this
bill was prepared to be a just one and ne be-
lieved that II Is just. He regretted that
there should be brought into this Discussion
any sectional feeling between the county
and the cit1. but he was willing to defend
the county and to show that II had been
Disseminated against
The hearing will be continued next Mon
day morning at 10 O'Clock and opportunity
given for those who oppose the bill to ex
press themselves.

Tracing Disease.

DR.. 8. s. Adams told Of the Investigations
made In connection with cases of typhoid
fever brought to the Children's Hospital
In the thirty-thres cases Of typhoid brought
there within the last two years thirty 1.-TWO
OF them can be traced to the use Of pump
water. Two years ago there was an cpl
demic OF dysentery on Cleveland avenue
In every case the affected families had
used water from the pump at 18th street
and Florida avenue. and families living
right beside them, who had not used the
water. did not have the disease
DIR. Stone of Brightwood explained the
necessity for water and sewers in that
place. They do not want water unless they
can get sewers. because there is no way TO
get rid of the surplus water il there are no
sewers. As II is, the springs and wells are
polluted by the surface drainage. and
springs which one day are pronounced safe
by the health authorities are contanina ted
the next day II there comes a heavy rain

springs.

The House District committee today con-

Dr. Prentiss said that this Is the most

The Du Bots house has been altered
considerably since its architect first
looked with pride upon his work and
pronounced it finished. 1t was original
ly designed as a sort of fortress for the
little community as well as dwelling

the walls are now filed in with stone
and brick, but you can plainly see where
once they frowned upon the lurking red
skin or other posi- BILE enemy. The porch
and the windows in the gables are evil

any rate, the latter are squared up with
American brick, which shows they

New Paltz was first settled in 1877
Esopus, now known as Kingston, Is
miles north, was settled by the Hugue-
nots IN 1860. The prevalence of Dutch
names among the early settlers and
among their descendants of today shows
that the French refugees, who fed first
to Holland, brought some of their Dutch
neighbors along with them. Like Penn,
these men bought their lands from the
Indians. The records testify that III
May, 1866, Louis Du Bots and his asso-
ciates purchased a tract lying between
the Shawangunk mountains and the
Hudson river, comprising SO, 600 acres
The price paid for this great domain
Included 40 kettles. 40 axes, 40 AIDES,
