Baldwin. They marched with Lincoln

MORE SANITARY HELP
Ought to BE Employed by the City for q
Brief Period.

Ought to Be Employed by the City for q
Brief Period.
There are now but two men in the city
of Topeka doing active work. This IS
too small a number in a city of $4,000
people, with an epidemic of diphtheria
threatening.
The reduction in the sanitary force
was made on the recommendation
of the city physician in the in
terest of economy, but such economy
will not be sanctioned by the people who
bear the burdens of the city government
if their families health and their chill
dren's lives are endangered. The little
sanitary force now has thirteen cases of
diphtheria to look after. Two of these
are outside of the city, but they are nev.
ertheless within the Jurisdiction of the
board of health.
This is about the number of cases
there have been for two weeks, showing
that the disease is not under full control.
Doctors say that this weather is condu-
Give to diphtheria and it is almost i'm
perative that the alleys should be kept
clean and the decaying vegetable or ami
NAL matter carefully looked after. Two
men can not do the work well and they
are ready to admit it. Sanitary
Sergeant Fowler is an excellent man
in his place, but he often finds it i'm
and fumigation.
Until within the past mouth there have
been five men on the sanitary force four
doing active outside work, and they
were kept on when there was not a sim
gle case of contagious disease in the city
but when diphtheria was more pre-
vaIent than it has been for many months
two of the sanitary men were discharge
and their places have not been filed
/ AL hot he xuil
point more sanitary officers as soon as
the city board of health decides that
more are needed. He says that the city
| physicians force is large enough now
and can take care of the work.
| Dr. Mum said today: Il think that
all the wells in the eastern portion of
the city should De condemned and closed
! up Many of the cases of diphtheria are
directly traceable to the surface water
being drained into the wells. Some
of them are on level with the sur
face of the ground and when rain
! comes it washes the surface trash into
the we'll, and it is not surprising that the
water is polluted. The wells in the east
part of town are all low and more or less
! surface water must be drained into them.
"This, with decaying matter of all
kinds and wet hot weather, is causing
the diphtheria, but think that there is
no immediate cause for alarm"
The sanitary department today fur
nished City Superintendent Davidson
with list of the cases of diphtheria SO
as possible from the families in which
cases of diphtheria have developed. Now
what we need ia more sanitary commits
sioners until frost to see that the city is
! kept clean and spread of the disease
prevented.

Cleveland Said to Have Chosen
Him for Justice.
He Has Offered Him Justice
Jackson's Seat.
HILL WON'T OBJECT.
If Senate Won't Object Horn
blower Will Take It.
President Thought of Him the
First One.

WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-It is learned
today that President Cleveland has de-
termined to offer to William B. Horn
blower, of New York. the place on the
supreme bench made vacant by the death
of Justice Jackson.
The president has had communication
with Mr.. Hornblower and he is willing
to accept the appointment, provided
there can be no doubt of his con-
firmation by the senate. 1t is
we'll known that Senator Hill will make
no obj ection to the confirmation of Mr..
Horn blower, and that apparently leaves
his chance good for confirmation.
The presidents admiration of Mr..
Hornblower is well known, and his was
the first name thought of after Justice
,lackson's death.

matter of attracting new population.
With superb enterprise and oppor-
tunism it is pushing for people, but the
Anglo-Saxon still tends naturally to the
west and the claims of irrigation are
supreme.
"Gentlemen of the convention. one year
ago at Denver the national executive
committee accepted from your hands the
standard of the irrigation cause. We
have upheld and advanced it in our
several states. We have carried it from
ocean to ocean, proclaiming it as the
symbol of industrial independence and
equality for millions of our eountrymen.
Today we return that standard to your
hands, happy if our service has availed
