City Water-soard Of Health.

The city water has not been wholesome for
the past two weeks, and the officials OF the
Department seem unable to correct it.
We suggest that the Board Of Health
turn their attention from poison vines and
back yards long enough TO visit the plumb
ing station with the engineer. When be
he starts the pump be takes stagnant water
from the subsiding reservoir and throws it
into the reservoir, and when that is full be
leaves subsiding reservoir full Of pure
wholesome water-to become staguant by
next pumping time This is q matter that
imperatively demands the intervention Of
the Board Of Health.

1.-THE figures compiled by our esteemed
Terrell correspondent ileem to prove that
a voter here represents only four in the
population, and be has done much to bring
the fact to public notice. Heretofore the
general reader gave that proportion to New
England where the women largely out
number the men, and the ratio is supposed
to be six to one. As we proceed westward,
the ratio fell, and we suppose now, in
Klondyke, the population is almost wholly
of voters If the election officers of 1896
need Yindication, they have it in their
disappointment as recommended by town
ship committeeman. Instances where new
appointments were made, are rare. and the
reasons for change are unknown to the ap-
pointing power.-Ed Dem.

| it up;
AND WHEREAS, 1t is also claimed that the

Res0lUed, That the President of Council

ing to open up the creek to improve navi.

closed up natural water course in laying
their tracks and refused to open the same

q veteran of the Great Rebellion, having
served with distinction in Pennsylvania
cavalry regiment; was and Inspector Of

ally rugged constitution and proved fatal.

ded' iuterment being at C0lestown.
