Smyrna seems to be without a Board
of Health, and the sanitary condition
in some parts of the town is being very
much annoyed by the odor arising from
pig pens. This is especially noticeable
in north Main Street (Irishtown) where
considerable complaint is being made.
Our town authorities might take the
matter in hand, but they claim it out
of their jurisdiction unless it comes
through the Board of Health, and such
an organization, to all accounts, is in
active. Such a condition of affairs is a
disgrace to our town and to our city
council for permitting such nuisances.

because of their treatment by the

also support the candidates of the Ad-

We are not surprised that they should
resent it to the extent of their ability.

The Single Takers held a meeting
here Friday night which proved of
more than usual interest. The speaker
was Mr.. Williams, of st. Louis, Mis-
souri,. He was an attractive talker and
drew many who were not of the Single
Tax faith. After a few Introductory
remarks by Leonard Tuttle, Mr.. Will
liams took the stand and for an hour
held the close attention of his audi
ence. He endorsed the Bryan and
Sewall ticket, free coinage of silver,
and Of course the single tax idea. He
held up gold as the only fraudulent
coin and said that he hated it. The
speaker could not understand the
democratic politics in Delaware, when
the State platform declared for gold
and against free coinage at any ratio,
yet indorsed free silver candidate for
President. He iocularly compared it
to an acrobat riding two horses going
in opposite directions. In closing, he
complimepted his audience for their
respectful attention, end was glad that
he found a place where freedom oi
speech was tolerated.

THE TERRITORIAL FUNDS.
Now Being Liberated on Call of the Territorial Treasurer.

In compliance with the decision of Chief Justice Baker, Territorial Treas urer Parish will today call for the re- demption of $65, 5,000 of warrants of the vintage of 1893 and within a few days expects to call in $10,OOO more in war rants, making a tremendous hole in the $115,O00 turned over to him by Cole. The territorial treasurer has es- tablished his office at the Valley bank, where all old warrants should be pre- sented.
 The Baker decision has been the cause of not only untying all this cash but as well restores value to the war rants now being issued. For some time the warrants have not even been stamped Not paid for the want of funds," and as consequence territorial paper has been practically worthless. Much of it, though entitled to interest at 10 per cent, could have been pur- chased for 60 per cent of the face. Ac- cordingly, though few of the warrants of old date are held locally, the new order of things may be expected to loosen up the tightness of the times to an appreciable degree.

JUMPED TO HER DEATH.
An Insane Woman Leaps From a Train
 Running Fifty Miles an Hour.

HANCOCK, Md, July 3.-While Mrs. Boyle, wife of Michael Boyle, of Oak land, was being taken to Baltimore for treatment for insanity, she jumped frain No. on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad at Turkey Foot curve, ten miles west of this place, at 3:30 o'clock this morning, and was killed outright. The train was running at about fifty miles an hour and the demented woman made the leap from a window of the toilet room.
 The woman's attack is of recent or igin, but at times she became violent Yesterday she made three attempts at suicide, once by hanging, again by taking poison and then by throwing herself in front of a freight train. In each case she was rescued, and it was decided to place her in an asylum near Baltimore for treatment at once When it became known that the woman had jumped from the train a stop was made and the body recovered. Later it was sent to her home in Oakland for burial. She leaves four children.

A GLANDERED MULE.
Prompt Quarantine Measures Taken by Commissioner Tovrea.

Yesterday morning word having been brought to B. A. Tovrea, the new member of the livestock sanitary con- mission, that a glandered mule was at large in the land, he immediately drove to the locality of the mules residence out near the hospital, made examina- tion, satisfied himself that the mule had been suffering for some time past with the glanders, and then quara- ntined twenty-six head of mules and horses that had been watering at the same we'll in company with the sick mule. Having accomplished this he wired for Professor Devol, who is ex- pected to arrive here today.
 The animals quarantined belong to a number of Mexicans living in the set clement near the Five Points.
 It is hoped by horse and cattlemen that a skilled veterinarian will be ap- pointed at as an early date as possi- ble. The general expression is that no time should be lost in making such an appointment In the meantime it is fortunate that the commission num- bers, MT Tovrea as member. His ac- ton in this case shows that he possess ] es the proper promptness, the requi- i .ite knowledge of his duties, and that he takes an active interest in the well fare of the owners of animals.

No Further Serious Trouble
 Striker Dead.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July, 3.-The condition of the Brown Hoisting con- ny works this morning indicated that Dy tonight the country will witness one of the most serious labor troubles this city ever experienced. Despite the res pite and the killing of William Rettger last night a number of non-uniOn meen took their places in the shops this morning. The feeling of unrest among the workmen of the manufac turing district is more intense than it has been at any stage of the strike. sGroups idled in the streets to denounce the police and soldiers. The feeling against Mayor McKisson is very bitter
 The funeral of Rettger from the church of the Immaculate Contention on Sunday will undoubtedly be one of the largest ever held in this city. h. vitations will be sent to every union in northern Ohio It is thought that 10000 people will be in line. Eugene V. Debs has been asked by telegraph to deliver the funeral oration.
 It had been decided to suspend work and drive the non-union men out of the Brown works at noon today instead of this evening. The strikers and sympathizers gathered around the plant in large numbers, but the non union men were escorted out at noon by the police without serious trouble. It was a surprise to the strik- CTS. Work was not supposed to close down until the usual hour of 5 o'clock
 At the Berea stone quarries 150 dep uties and two companiesc of the Fifth

 Tt seems to me that the moral of my case, as well as of others who have spent their lives in the ungracious work of reformation, is don't waste your energies in trying to reform the world; it does not want to be re formed. Make for yourself the only safe harbor in time of trouble-the sweet security of peaceful home and let the world take care of itself, for it will never take care of you in times of diversity.
