During the recent session of health officers
and prominent physicians interested in the
general welfare of the state in Baltimore, it
was with great pride that one of the mem bers
alluded to the action taken by the board of
commissioners of New Windsor with refer
ence to abolishing the slaughterhOuse nuisance
and hogpens within the limits of the town.
This action was approved unanimously by the
convention, and it is hoped that the effect of
the regulation will make a favorable impress
sion upon some who are rather ''hogglsh' IN
their ideas and that the places hitherto de-
veted to the odors of hogs and their surround
ings NAV now bloom and blossom with roses
and other flowers, and so astonish the owners
that they will wonder why it never was done
before and make them DESTROYS of further i'm
movements.

By the heavy snows followed by the warm
rains of Saturday and Sunday nearly all the
rivers and creeks in the eastern Mississippi
and the entire Ohio valleys oyeraowed their
banks and carried dssolation with them. Lives
were lost, stock drowned, farming land washed
or covered with silt, railroad tracks submerged
or carried off, bridges damaged or foated
away, logging, mining and oil camps destroyed
and mills and factories closed. In some coun-
ties the road beds were like rivers and the loss
entailed will run into thousands of dollars.

VERY SUDDEN DEATH.
Fred Reum Passed Away Last Night
At E5o O'Clock.

Just as we go to press we learn of
the very sudden death of one of our
prominent business men, Mr.. Fred
Reum, at the age of fifty-nine years,
of apoplexy. Last night about eight
o'clock as he was walking down the
street he felt pain in his side and
went up stairs above his meat market
and sat down. He called to his son
Frank who went after the doctor. Soon
after he seemed to feel easier, but be-
came worse about eleven o'clock, and
passed away at ten minutes to twelve.
Mr.. Reum has been one of our princi-
pal business men for many years, and
his sudden demise will be a shock to
his very large acquaintance. We are
unable to give further particulars until
next week, but simply extend the
heartfelt sympathies of the entire COM
munity to the grief stricken family.
