Commissioner of Health Reynolds
hns inaug,iratcd u vigorous midsummer
crusade against the sale Of impure Ice
for domestic use. With tho last few
days o! hot weather have come com.
plants that some of 'he dealers nrc led.
ding Ice which wOuld not stand tho
test required by city ordinance ~ to
qunli,: for other than refrigerator plr-
poses.
The commissioner directed the cOur
health department inspectors to 20 into
tho streets. follow every Ice wagon hey
can ger sight Of and make IN inspec tIOn
Of the product being delivered.
More Than II year ago the various leo
companies were brought to terms md
forced into agreements not to sell leo
for domestic use cut from lakes and
rivers anywhere In the Calumet region
or other sections Just around Chicago.
The commodity must come from the
lakes throughout northern Illinois and
Wisconsin. the waters of which have
been anaiyzed by experts.
IL th" inspectors now find that any of
the deu'crs are puttilg an impure nrti-
Gle upon the market such dealers will
be dealt with according TO law and
wlthOu. mercy.
The constituencies Of Chicago are not
bOOdlers. but with something like una
nimity they elect men who are shame
lcssly In pursuit OF bOOdle. That can
didates' promises are mere pie crust
has recently been demonstrated. The
Alderman as u rule cares nothing for
what he promised as u candidate, even
II that promise was sOlemnly made
over his own signature In the presence
of witnesses.
If there We're States Attorneys =
| office such as there was In the days
gone by, when an honest ana fearless
States Attorney prosecuted the hoo
dlers among County Commissioners
Aldermen who sell their votes would
be sent TO the penitentiary, hut no re-
form In that direction can be hoped for
from the present States Attorneys Of
flee. Its energies are embarked In the
endeavOr to prosecute on grave charges
men who are nOtOriOusly innocent.

There are reasons In abundance for
believing that Walsh was chosen Az
derman from the Seventeenth Ward
at the last municipal election instead
Of Revere, who holds the seat. Walsh
was running on the Democratic ticket
and he had the support of the Municip-
al Voters League. Revere. one of the
gang" Aldermen, was on tn. Repub.
lican ticket and was declared elected
l'y n very narrow margin. Walsh con-
tested, but the Council ignored his con-
test, along with some others. Through
the praisewOrthy efforts of Edwin Bur-
rltt Smith AMI other citizens the SUI
periOr Court ordered u recount of the
ballots. 1t Is important, Of course, that
Walsh should get the seat, II he was
elected. But more important object
OF the recount Is to secure evidence on

The Eagle was not out Of the way In
its criticism Of the steamship ManitOu
last week, was II!
In its issue Of June ~ The Eagle
laid. editorially:
THE Eagle does not say that the
steamship Manltou Ii unsafe. But It
does say that In It's opinion three trips
q week between Chicago and Mackinac
are too many for the boat TO make.
Any steamship Of the size Of the Mani.
sou should be laid UP while between
trips to have her boilers cleaned and
other repairs made.
''The break.downs which have oc-
CURED In mId.lake to the machinery IL
this boat are explained on the ground
that there is not much time given 10
the engineers to oil up and repair IN
port.
''Thc Manitou Is the favorite pleasure
craft Of our Jewish and Irish pOpula-
ton. who make Mackinac sort Of
sumner Hlberno-Israelitic heaven.
"The Government inspector should
take sufficient interest In these two I'M
portant elements Of our population TO
guard them from the possibility Of
danger
Among other items In The Eagle Of
June ~ We're the following:
BETS are already being offered as to
how many times the Manitou will
break down this year"
"HOw many times last summer was
the Manitou In the dry docks at South
Chicago for repairs:"
Docs the Manitou carry any passen-
ger who do not have their lives in
sured:"
~ well-known Chicago business man
declares he would not ride on the Man
atOu IL he We're paid for doing So"
"when an Eagle representative took
q trip on the safe steamboat Mani
sou last, she broke down before she got
20 Mackinac, and was forced TO give
up her trip TO Sault Ste. Marie. On
her way back she broke down three
times In Lake Michigan. She may be
safe, hut excuse us"
'Whether the Manitou will roll her
smoke stacks OF this year remains to
be seen"
Four days after The Eagle contain
ing the above was published the Daily
News contained the following dispatch
which explains itself:
HarbOr Springs, Mich. June 30
The steamer Manitou, bound from
Chicago to Mackinac with 100 passen-
gers aboard, went ashore during fog
at 3 o'clock this morning at ee-Mile
Point. Little Traverse Bay.
The steamer Hazel took of the pas
sengers and brought them TO this place,
The wrecking tugs Favorite and Ona'
ping were sent at once from ChebOyean
to pull the steamer into deep water.
The Manitou was subsequently pulled
on by another vessel.
II is reported that the Manitou ran
half over rocky bar, which was the
cause OF the accident, before her pro-
digi0us momentum was overcome. As
the marine charts show no bar in the
place where the big boat grounded the
report Is not entirely credited. II is

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not al
Ways understood, is that women suf.
fer as much from distressing kidney
bladder troubles as the men. The
womb is situated back of aud very
close to the bladder, and for that rea-
son any distress, disease or inconven.
fence manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder, or urinary passages is often,
by mistake, attributed TO female
weakness or womb trouble of some
sort.
The error is easily made and may
be as easily avoided oy setting urine
aside for twenty-four hours; sedi.
ment or settling isevidence that your
kidneys and bladder need doctorjns.
Ii you have pain or dull aching il,
the back, pass water too frequently
or scanty supply, with smarting or
buHIlpg-these are also convincing
proofs OF kidney trouble. If you have

CANADIAN CINDERELLA.
Barbarously Treated by Her Fa-
ther and Stepmother.
Tried to XIII Her by Inches-Beaten,
Starved, Burned, Frozen and
Worked Like the Lowest
of Slaves.

A story of most awful cruelty to q
child has just become public through
the trial at Sherbrooke, Quebec, OF
Joseph Lapierre and his second wife,
who endeavored to kill by inches 49,
year-old Celina, Lapierre's daughter by
his first wife. These monsters of the
lowest class of French-Canadians have
n small farm, 80 miles from Sherbrooke.
The little girls story was confirmed by
the testimony of other children, who,
with the approval of the parents,
helped to torture her; by several ply
sicians under whose care she had been,
and by the cure of the parish.
The child Celina told this story in
court. She had been kept in a convent
at Arthahaska till last fall, and until
then had notseen her stepmother or the
latter's children. When she returned
home they all at first seemed glad to
see her. But soon she was made sort
of Cinderella. She was made to scrub
the floors, clean the house, wash the
clothes, dishes, pots and pans, chop and
carry in wood, and feed the pigs and
cows. She was made to sleep in the gar
ret, where there were cracks in the
wooden walls through which the wind
and the snow blew all winter. She had
neither bed nor bedclothes, but slept on
the bare floor. Her warm clothes were
taken from her and she was given a
thin calico dress without underclothes.
This she wore all winter. Shoes and
stockings she was not allowed to wear
even in the winter when the thermome-
ter was often Is degrees below zero.
Her parents wanted to get rid of her.
Soon systematic torture began to kill
her in such a way as, they thought,
would give the law no hold upon them
Her stepbrothers and sisters were en-
couraged to torture her by the mother,
who laughed at her misery.
Every day some new kind of torture
was invented. The stepmother used tc
