CHOCK FULL OF BACTERIA.
Professor Burrugc. of Purdue. Leo
lures ON MIX.

Severance Burrage. professor OF Sanitary
Science OF Purdue University lectured at
Plymouth Church last night on the topic.
Bacteria in Milk" lie was introduced by
DR.. Ferguson, city sanitarian- Professor
Burrage said that milk is one OF the i'm
portant foods usually given 10 ms in the
raw state. 1t is an animal secretion rich
in food material and this gives IT an ex-
cellent chance for the reproduction Of dis
eased germs. Professor Burrage thought 10
unfortunate that milk has TO pass through
a great deal OF careless handling before 10
reaches the consumer. teaspoonful OF
milk obtained in the large cities, he said.
contains millions OF bacteria. thriving In
soil favorable TO development. The average
number Of bacteria found in So samples OF
Boston milk examined IN the spring OF 1899
was 2.355.5o0 per cubic centfmeter. Ordinary
American sewage contains only about 1.0co.-
600 per cubic centimeier. The lecturer MAIN
tanned that under bad conditions. such as
are brought about by unclean stables and
dirty miikmen, 10 say nothing OF the half
cleaned pals and cans. it is easy to UNDER
stand why milk swarrns with bacteria. He
asserted that many epldemics OF diphtherla
and typhoid fever have been conclusivela
traced to milk the cause OF infection.
Professor Burrage urged the necessity OF
clean stables. clean food Tor cattle, a good
water supply the farm and the employ
ment OF intelligent and honest farm hands.

A CHARGE OF SUGAR"
ALLEGATIONS AT RUsHvILLE
AGAINST HOWE PUMP COMPANY.
Intimated that Water and Light Fran
chises Were Obtained by Unwar-
ranted Use of Cash.

The Leader. an evening paper printed at
Rushville, makes some serious charges
against the Howe Pump and Engine Com
pany. of this city. and members of the
Rushville Council. The Leader claims that
the company made an unwarranted use of
cash in securing franchises in that city for
water and electric-light plants. The paper
intimates that certain members OF the
Council received money. and hints at the
amount paid each one. 1t calls for a grand
jury investigation. It is also charged that
after the passage of the ordinance granting
the franchises certain members Of the
Council received remuneration in certain
positions. described as soft jobs from
the pump company. A member of the
Council, it is also charged, received the
contract for the erection Of the power
house.
The charges are denied in toto by NJ. L.
Howe, manager OF the company, in an in
terview printed at Rushville yesterday.
The Howe Pump and Engine Company is
located on Hillside avenue. near the Belt
railroad, and has received number OF
good contracts recently for building water
works plants in different parts of the State.
Benjamin j. C. Howe is president and NJ. l..
Howe general manager A call was made
last night at the home of Benjamin j. c.
Howe, but no one could be reused. Later
1t was stated by a man at the shop that
Mr.. Howe is not in the city.

THE BLOODHOUND CONTESTS.
There VIII Re Four, Two on Thurs
day and Two on Friday.

While it was not intended that the poul-
try and pet stock show at Tomlnson Hall
should be open TO the pubic yesterday.
hundreds awaited themselves of the oppor-
tunity, and though the exhibits were not in
position many felt they were well repaid.
The express companies were constantly de-
livering crates Of dogs, chickens, pigeons
and other pet stock, and not until o'clock
did the work of checking and assigning
the entries cease. Much to the surprise OF
the management many valuable dogs were
received from all parts of the country, max
ing this the largest exhibit Of the kind ever
shown in the State. 1t is by far the largest
display of st. Bernards ever recorded. An
other surprise was an old English sheep
dog, entered by Mr.. Dougherty. perhaps the
only one In this country west OF Pittsburg
A Welsh spaniel, a curiosity in this section,
was another attraction not counted upon.
Among the exhibits in the dog Depart
ment which will attract more than ordinary
two large English mastiffs. The dogs are
the property OF Sam Murray, of the United
states Card Company, this city.
AT the meeting OF the executive commit
tee last night, in conjunction with Messrs.
A. +. Field of Wheaton, Ind. S NJ Miller
OF Darlington and Bowers q Harris of No
blesville, owners Of the bloodhounds, it was
arranged that there should be four contests
instead OF two, as previously announced.
THESE viii take place on Thursday and
Friday one each morning and afternoon
The older dogs will take the trail in the
morning and the younger ones in the after
noon. In order to avoid any confusion by
the gathering of crowd the time OF de-
parture will not be made definitely known,
but in the morning contests the hounds will
leave the hall some time after $3.50 O'Clock
and return to the entrance of the building
on the trail about Il o'clock. This will
enable the curious ones to view the animals
as they close up on the scent. The con-
testants in the afternoon will start about 3
o'clock and the finish will probably be made
about or 4:30 o'clock. The afternoon trails
will be covered by the young hounds, and
there will be six iii each contest 1t has
been decided that II. ". Keys, of Ovid.
Mich. an owner of bloodhounds and an ex-
pert judge, shall act in that capacity at all
the contests.

Robert Clarke is no longer custodian of
the monument. He resigned his position
yesterday. and will start for the Fitzgerald
colony in Georgia to-day. In this connec-
ton it is said by some Of Clarkes friends
that he has criticised the bronze work on
the monument, and said 1t was imperfect
in several particulars. The statement is
that he says the pieces are put together
with iron instead OF bronze bolts, and that
the work is not water-tight, and is. conse-
quently, filled with ice Clarke refused 10
talk about the report. He has a letter
which he received while the work was be-
ing put in place, in which he is instructed
by the regents 10 refrain from criticising
the work in any way. Secretary Thompson.
of the board of regents, says the letter was
sent merely to stop petty interference and
criticisms.

A song for the year. dear friends, let me
bring you:
A psalm and prayer.
This psalm unto God. now let your hearts
Nor ever forbear.
The prayer-may it be for blessings d.
Else thou declinist

True.
Thou crownest our year. o Lord. with Thy
goodness.
To this every day recordeth its witness,
Such blessings each hath
For Thee waiteth praise, o God, in Thy
Zion,
Where we rely on
Thy grace for the vows that We made in
Thy house"
forever:
No want shall we know.
From paths that are right, our Guide, let
For one moment go.
Let goodness and mercy crown all Of Life's
Then, glad in Thy praise,
May each in Thy house dwell forever on
Make real. dear friends, this song that ]

For while to our God l freely commend
Let this be your care,
To do with your might what Christ makes
supremest;
Thus thou that dreamest
Awake to thy work-tO thy prayer be thou
true.
Thus God answers prayer-we work since
He worketh:
What union blest,
Thus God gaineth praise-we win since He
winneth
The ends that are best
With cheerfulness face the days that con-
front you;
For, friends, what want you
That God has not pledged in His Word
that endures?

WILL BE ONE SYSTEM
FUTURE OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
LINES WEST OF PITTsBURG.


Inthe higher railway and financial circles
the impression prevails that before many
years pass all the lines known as Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company interests west Of
Pittsburg will become, like the Pennsylva-
MIA lines east, all Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. and its equipment will be so let
tered. A Pittsburg paper says: THE Van
daiia is ore Of the most valuable railway
properties west Of the Ohio line. The main
line. from Indianapolis to St. Louis. is 30
miles in length, the st. Joseph division is 22'
miles long and extends from Terre Haute to
St. Joseph, Mich, and the Peoria division,
running from Harrington to Peoria, has a
mileage of 10 miles, and the Center Point
branch, ten miles long, makes the entire
mileage 647 miles. The main line, extending
from st. Louis TO indianapolis, is the part
of the road in which the Pennsylvania Is
more directly interested, as II forms the
most desirable connection for st. Louis and
gives the Panhandle a main line 6lS miles
long. It forms not only the shortest route,
but Is also the best constructed road west
OF indianapolis and the wisdom of the Penn
sylvania in taking early steps TO secure con-
troll of IL is now made manifest TO all. Inc
policy of the Pennsylvania proper Is 10
gradually assume direct control and owner
ship OF all the roads in which IL Is In any
way interested at present, and railway men
who are we'll posted say it Will be only
matter of time till the time-honored names,
known only In the memory Of the people, as
all the equipment from New York 70 chi
cago, Cincinnati and st. Louis VIII be let
tered in the conventional Il. +. r. STYLE.

Possible Rate War.

The Utah-Colorado business, which has
been troubling the Western lines for so
long. is not yet settled by any means, and
although there is a strong belief among the
roads that IL will soon be adjusted, it is by
no means certain that such will be the out
come. The Montana roads agreed TO make
all their tickets for continuous passage
only but have coupled with this agreement
the condition that the Colorado-Utah roads
become members of the Western Passenger
Association. At first the Colorado-U tab peo-
pie refused TO do this and declared that
they would form an association or their
own. 1t was pointed out TO them that they
had already placed a portion OF their busl-
ness under the control of the western Pas
scnger Association, and for them TO with
draw il now would be the disruption OF the
association. AS a compromise II was agreed
that they should form an association OF
.heir own, with separate chairman, whose
Headquarters should be in Denver, he to
have Jurisdiction over Utah, Colorado and
Wyoming business and all other traffic to
come under the agreement of the Western
Passenger Association. The Colorado Mid
land and Denver d Rio Grande have agreed
TO this but the Rio Grande Western has
not as yet accepted. Its decision on the
matter is expected tomorrow, and If 1t
should be adverse. ii is more than likely that

No Radical Change.

There Is excellent authority for stating
that pending a decision OF the legality or
the Joint Traffic Association by the courts.
no radical change of the Trunk Line and
Central Traffic Association will be made. 1t
is not denied that the threatened legal pro-
cedure against the association has ma
terially interfered. at least for the present,
with carrying out the programme of the
presidents agreement, and all action taken
by the board of managers of the association
will be of such character as TO keep from
actual operation the seemingly Objectionable
clauses. Another official is quoted as say
ing that the railway companies in the Or
ganization have been expecting TO lean
heavily upon that structure Jan. L as
means of keeping rates in line, and IL the
prop Is knocked out from under them the
moral effect will be bad and rate-cutting in
favor of the big shippers will probably go
on at the accelerated rate. But When IT
comes to a legal fight the railroads VIII
resist to the utmost the proposed restraint
They will probably contend against the per-
manency of a temporary restraining order
should the latter be granted, and carry the
case through the United States Court, II the
decision below is adverse.
