MAIDSTONE is SCOURGED.
Outbreak of Typhoid in the English
Town is Practically Over.

London, Nov S.-Maidstone, the capt.
tai of Kent, is just recovering from an
epidemic of typhoid fever, the number
of victims of which reached nearly 1000
and the deaths 100. All the elementary
schools were closed and in some houses,
where different tenements are let to ar
tisans, the whole of the breadwinners
have been STRICKEN with the fever. It
has been found necessary to increase
the hospital accommodation, while the
Farleigh water supply, the source of
the disease, has been cut off from the
stricken village
The plague broke out a little over
month ago, and the total number of
cases shows how rapidly it spread, de-
spite the services of 40 doctors and 100
trained nurses. That there should be so
many cases in a village with a pOpula-
ton of "a, 600 indicated that something
was wrong with some element of gem
eral consumption, and naturally the
water supply was examined. 1t is de-
rived from three sources, and the source
whence water is taken to the area at
tackled is in the TUtham springs at
Farleigh. These springs several ex-
perts have unanimously condemned as
unit for drinking purposes.
There appear to have been found in
the vicinity of the springs a direful ac-
cumulatiOn of materials calculated in
the highest degree to generate enteric
fever. On a hop ground on one side a
large quantity of fish manure has been
deposited year after year, and on an
other side at a short distance from the
springs is the scene of an old encamp-
ment of fruit and hop pickers. The on
Iy remaining link to find is the cause
that brought the filthy deposits into
contact with the water. That cause
may be readily discovered in the heavy
rains of a few weeks ago, which may
have washed the impurities freely into
the springs. A remarkable cOrrObora-
tiOn of the theory is seen in the fact
that in three streets of the town which
are supplied on one side from Farleigh
springs the fever has developed uni
fOrmly, and only on the Farleigh side
Happily, about One-half of the whole
population draws its water supply from
these Farleigh springs.
1t is stated that the water company
has had no Independent examination of
the tainted Farleigh water for upward
of u months. The cOmpany's act of
parliament says it must supply the
people of Maidstone with pure water
but does not enjoin upon the company
the necessity of having the supply test
ed at regular periods.
1t is unlikely that any water from
Farleigh springs will ever be used
again for the Maidstone supply. The
F'arIeigh works, with their splendid
pumping station, cost between &3O, 900
and $4,000, but it is believed this asset
viii now be lost to the company. The
company possesses an inexhaustible
supply of excellent water at COssingtOn
and BOarley, which comes from the
chalk, and with little extra pumping
power the whole town can be supplied
from those districts.

The appeal in the Kansas City stock
yards case has been perfected and the
necessary papers filed in the office of the
clerk of the United States circuit court
The StocAy1rds company gave a bond of
81. 500 for costs and another bond for $780,

that the case is decided against the COM

The 800, 600 bond is signed by '"The Kan

to have the case advanced in the su-

successful the case will hardly be reach

THE Kansas team has been a unit

a game to DO work, they can. That is
the most rUinous theory possible. and is
sure to bring defeat upon them even
from some weaker opponent than they

as Kansas will go in too confident of
success, and Missouri will quietly work

of the year, and as a result will sur

QUIBBLE ON GOLD BONDS.
Queer Defense to Tax Suit Indirectly
Involving 100000.

Fort Worth, Tex, Nov. S-A city tax
suit is on trial in the district court, the
outcome of which is being eagerly
watched. 1t is regarded as test case
The city taxes are assumed by the
defendants to be illegal on account
of the alleged invalidity of bonds which
call for payment in gold. The defend
ants contend that the clause providing
that bonds shall be paid in gold coin
of specific weight and fineness makes
the bonds payable in a commodity and
not in money, While the constitution of
Texas provides that no bond shall be
issued which does not provide payment
IN lawful money of the United States.
The city has issued bonds payable in
gold to the amount of nearly 81, O0O, 900,

IT WAS SPONTANEOUS.
How the Rev. DR.. Madison c. Peters
Replies to a Charge of Plagiarism.

New York, Nov S.-The Rev. Mad
ison c. Peters, D. d, pastor of the
BloOmingdale Reform church, was busy
today explaining a striking similarity
between an euIogy pronounced upon
Henry George in his sermon last Sat
urday and the Rev. Eiphalet Motifs
panegyric on Alexander Hamilton. de-
hvered in 1904. The passages COM
pared are strikingly similar and in sew
eral places identical
When the two extracts were shown
to DR.. Peters this morning he looked
them over critically and said, good-hu-
moredly:
They do look alike. don't they? The
idea of saying something about Mr..
George came to me while 1 was prepar-
ing my sermon on Saturday evening af-
ter supper. What 1 said about Mr..
George was, to the best of my belief,
spontaneous at the time l wrote it,
