Concerning his observations there he said
1.-THE lake now receives direct all the

The population last term was about 122 stu

will be remedied Immediately. Mr.. Van
Schoich, farmer on the east side, has a
filthy barnyard that slopes toward the lake
and all drainage enters therein. Heaps of
mulating furnish trickling streams into the
lake. AT this point, as also at the outlet
of the academy sewer, the sewage fungus
(beggatoa) grows. Most of the cottages
have vaults which ultimately drain into the
lake. Some of the cottages have earth clos

system is used and all closet matter is con-
sumed with fire; garbage is hauled away
daily and fed to hogs, while yet fresh. The

sanitary Inspection.
THE secretary will recommend to the
board that all vaults be abolished and
earth closets substituted; that all shallow
wells be closed and only the deep flowing

with dead fish. Small fish, not intended to

quantities TO be thrown away after the

They have many missions throughout In

classes too poor to support churches. Like
the Salvation Army, they so after their
recruits in those sections of the cities where
religion is most needed and they indulge
much in street preaching and singing,
though they have none of the martial music
nor military paraphernalia of the Saliva

LON REED MAKES A STRIKE"
The Slayer of William Boyd in the
Alaskan Gold Field.

Along with the stories of fabulous wealth
that come from Alaska is the report that
Lon Reed, who killed William Boyd in a
Brightwood saloon a year ago, has struck
it rich. FOR some time vague rumors have
been received here concerning the where
abouts of Reed but it is now known that
he is in Alaska engaged in placer mining
The crime for which Reed fled the coun-
try occurred in Chris Lutz's saloon at
BrightwoOd about a year ago. Reed, who
widely known as a pugilist, walked
into the saloon one evening with a man
named Hoffbauer. In a rear room William
Boyd was sitting at table with woman
Reed invaded the privacy of this apartment
and was ordered out by Boyd A quarrel
ensued and Boyd and the woman left the
room. The woman left the premises, but
Boyd returned to the barroom. There the
quarrel was renewed, but the men were
finally quoted and Boyd invited all to drink
with him. While he was leaning against
the bar Reed struck him a powerful blow
and felled him to the floor. He then vi
ciOuSly assaulted the PROSTATE man, who
escaped and has since been a fugitive. Hoff-
bauer, who was with Reed in the saloon
and the woman who Boyd's companion,
were found by the police and both were

the police department of Anderson and

by the passage of wise economic laws are
now encouraging the planting OF trees.
Many of the States of this Union now rec
ognize the necessity of planting trees, and
the observance OF Arbor day is becoming
general.
1t seems eminently wise and proper that
day be designated which the people of
our Commonwealth should be urged to OBJ
serve by the planting OF trees. vines and
flowers. Homes should be made more at
tractive through the beauty of these nat
ural adornments. to which is added the
pleasure of refreshing shade. Fruit trees
and vines should be cultivated. both fer
their beauty and for their fruit. Towns and
cities should lay the foundation of future
beauty and attractiveness through the loca-
ton of parks and the planting of trees
shrubs and vines. The children of the pub
lie schools, by appropriate exercises, should
observe the day in thus identifying school
grounds. Many barren spots in the coun-
try may be made attractive and made the
basis of future profit by putting into effect
practical examples of this honored custom
Let us all appropriately observe this
day, and I trust that the work of individ-
uals may be supplemented by the efforts of
societies. communities and especially by
the teachers and pupils in our schools"

WHY MARY DID NOT WIN.
Wawa see Sailors Not Acquainted with
the Ocean Currents.

A friend of DR.. Hicks has just received a
letter from him, dated Oyster Bay, l.. l.,
in which the captain Of the Mary gives a
few reasons why his yacht did not make
a better showing in the yacht races sailed
last week. The yacht Mary made a very
good showing, according to the doctor, and
upon the whole he is highly pleased with
her. The greatest disadvantage the Wa
vase sailors had was in the lack of
knowledge of the ocean currents, which
must be known thoroughly in order to sail
a good race.
Mono. the winner of the Oyster Bay
races, is said TO be over the twenty-foot
class. She will be cut down in sailing
length before entering the international
yacht races between Canada and the United
States

HIGHEST BLOCK in TOWN
ODD FELLOWS NEW BUILDING WILL
OVERLOOK THE STEVENSON.
An Expert Examining the Competing
Framework VIII Begin This
Fall on the Structure.

Secretary Leedy, of the Grand Lodge of
Odd Fellows has received two sets of plans
for the new building to be erected on the
present site of the Grand Lodge Hall. The
plans have been submitted to the Grand
Lodges expert, whose name is not made
public, and he will report shortly on them.
advising which is the best for the purposes
for which the building is intended. AS soon
as the report of the expert has been re-
ceived, and such changes as may be rec
commended have been made in the plans,
the work on the new building will begin,
regardless of the season and the weather.
The plans are similar in a general way,
an outline having been given the architects
by the building committee. The lot is lis
feet on Pennsylvania street by 6712 feet
ON Washington street. The building will
be ten stories high, and it is estimated that
it will be twelve feet higher than the
twelve-story Stevenson building. The first
floor will be constructed for business pur-
poses and will be eighteen feet high. The
next seven stories will be for offices and
will be eleven feet high each. The ninth
floor will have two subordinate lodge halls
and an eighteen-foot ceiling, while the top
floor will be for the Grand Lodge and will
be thirty-two feet in height.
1t is the intention of the building COM
mittee to make the new building the most
modern and most beautiful office building
in the city. 1t is the belief that the location
is the best in the city, and the architecture
and arrangements will be in keeping with
the location. The first three stories will
be finished exteriorly in stone and the up
per part will be in pressed brick and terra
Gotta. There will be three elevators, and
the building will be supplied with power,
water and light from independent sources.
Vonnegut 4 Bohn, of this city, and Rush
& Son, of Grand Rapids, are the competing
architects. 1t is expected that the expert
will make known the plans decided upon in
a few days. Then there will come the let
ting of contracts and work will begin this
fall, so that the building may probably

Governor Mount and his staff will leave
