The Board of Health.

The Board of Health was not
elected last Saturday, rs for some
cause there was no meeting. The
people don't seem to feel the need of
it. There is, really, no need of a
Board of Health, if the Council will
do its duty and enforce the sanitary
laws and regulations. The citizens
should not wait to be forced TO clean
up and disinfect There is special
need at this time of thorough
cleanliness and care OH the part of
housekeepers. A free use of lime.
coperas, and other germ destroying
agents may prevent much sickness
ard distress. There is no excuse for
negligence along this line. Why
depend upon the Council to have
sanitary work done around our
premises? What does the Council
know about sanitary laws, anyway,
more than other citizens!
There is not sanitary expert, or
physician on the Council and not
one in town whom they can command,
for lack of funds. A sanitary
association, Independent of any
local government, composed of
progressive interested citizens, and
a good sanitary expert is the only
organization adopted TO small towns.
And this organization must be vol.
untory one on the part of the citizens.
In the meantime let every house
holder look to his own premises.
Decency and comfort demands it.

PERRY, q. T., Oct. 2l.-The annual fish poison
Ing and frying season Of the Cherokees opened
two weeks ago at Mitchc.l's Mill and dozen or
more other places the Illinois River in the
Cherokee Nation, and will continue perhaps
until late in tho fall. The great tribal fish meet
has occurred annually from time immemorial,
but this year it has been made an occasion of
more than usual importance. and hundreds of
Cherokecs have been in attendance.
For century before their removal West.
little more than two.thirds of n century ago, the
Cherokces and other tribes held possession of a
vast area OF country extending over portions of
what arc now Georgia. the Carolnas. Tenncs-
see, and Alabama. A glance at a map of those
States will discover many names Of rivers OF
purely Cherokee origin. Upon those streams
the c erokees, in the long ago, held annual
fcasts. and it Is said that some OF the old men
present on the Illinois River now were present
then. Some of them are declared to be more
than 100 years old and cannot speak word of
English.
Buckeyes that grow on the low bottoms Of the
Illinois River supply the poison. and great
numbers Of them are gathered and put through

Sometimes whole boat loads are speared during

AN EXCEPTION IN THIS CASE.
The Man who Can Read All Languages Not In
tho Nnce.

There Is q sign, familiar to all travellers in
European and South American countries.
"translations made in all languages" and this
statement is often approximately true, as far as
languages spoken by tourists or understood by
them are concerned. When it comes, however,
to "translatinG into all languages" newspapers
published throughout the civilized world, there
is very different story, for although tho Ian
guages in general use number hardly twenty,
the actual number of languages in which news.
papers are published is cighty.three. That
newspapers should be published in English,
language spoken by l2O.OOO,OOO persons in
German or Russian, languages spoken by 49,
100000 each, in French or Spanish, spoken by
50OO0,OOO each. or in Italian. spoken by 3d.
100000. is assuredly not strange. But that
newspaper should be published in the Sioux
language and several In the Basque language
