UP THE VALLEY.
The Lincoln Town Council
Canvassing the Lists.
Valley Falls Fire District Took No
Action at Last Meeting.
Catholic Institute Held an Important Meeting
Yesterday Afternoon Various Nstes.

The Lincoln Town Council will meet
this afternoon to canvass the voting lists
preparatory to the spring election. Be-
sides that there are several other matters
which may come up for consideration.
The claim which Mckay of the Cumber-
land Contracting Company has against
the town will, probably, be acted upon at
this meeting il Councilman Rounds, to
whom the matter was referred, is present
and ready to report.
No Fire Alarm I'm Valley Falls.
Judging from the action taken at the
meeting of the taxpayers of the Valley
Falls fire district at the special meeting
held last week, there will be no action
taken with the Wow OF locating fire alarm
system, in that village. When the report
of the special committee was submitted,
considerable difference of opinion existed
about the ACCESSIBILITY OF spending so much
money. Matters will probably drift along
until another coniiagration strikes the
town, then the agitation will be renewed.
The Catholic Institute.
The regular meeting of the Catholic In
stitute was held yesterday afternoon.
Considerable routine business was dis
posed of in the usual manner. The report
of the committee on st. Patrick's night
entertainment was given, and from present
indications the affair promises to be a
rousing success.

WEST SIDE CLUB.
Lecture by william Smith on "How the
Earth Is Formed"

Lecture by william Smith on "How the
Earth Is Formed"
The members of the West Side Repub-
lican Club last night listened to a very
able lecture on how the crust of the earth
is formed, by William Smith. The speaker
pointed out the earth in its first place as
gaseous matter revolving in space, which
was waited into solid matter through the
action Of natural sources. How the ridges
and hollows are formed by the loss of heat
in the way of shrinkage, as for instance
an orange will shrink with loss of water.
Every degree We go down in the earth
shows that the interior Is full of lava, the
heat becoming hotter as lower we 60.
The speaker showed how the fine de-
posits of earth carried along by the brooks
and rivers caused the new land, and
showed how the heavier articles falling to
the bottom causes the different strata of
that earth, the rivers carrying minerals
along with them, causing these things to
connect.
Continuing, he said the former theories
of the geologists, that granite was formed
by the cooling of the earth's crust in its
first formation has been disproved by
later scientists--that no depths of granite
has yet been discovered but what shows
traces of adimentation.
The subject for next Sunday evening
win be, 'Annual History Of the Earth, .
by the same speaker.

Chinatown of San Francisco was keep

The narrow, picturesque streets were
decorated with brightly colored lanterns,
while overhead above the roof tops the yel

1t was a sunny day in February, and
tho streets were swarming with a multi
tude Of Chinese-men, women and chill
dren--all arrayed In their richest holiday
attire. The children especially, with theiI
bright faces and black eyes, and In theii

celebration Of tho Chinese New Year.
The idea of celebrating New Years day
In February may strike some of my read

Chinese custom from time immemorial
and Is older by several thousands of years
than our acceptance Of the 1st Of January
as the proper time the Chinese perhaps art
not fur wrong in supposing themselves to
be at least as much In the right as our
selves. This question, however, was of no
concern to this merry holiday throng.
They were quite satisfied with the arrange

Fracture In Steel.

innumerable internal microfaws In tho
metal caused by the presence OF very MI

Sealed Proposals Have Been
Asked For By the Health
Officer, Dr.. Mann,
For the Removal OF SwiIl and
Garbage From the Houses
and Other Places.
A DIRECT MENANCE TO HEALTH
Dscayed Fruit and Carriage About the Streets
Will Casse as Epidemic Which Would Be
Hard to coatroI-Notes.

Sealed proposals have been asked for by
the superintendent of Health, Dr. Mann,
for the removal Of swill and garbage from
the houses and other buildings throughout
the city. DIR. Mann has always been in
favor OF handling the matter in the proper
manner, and getting at the root OF the
evil at once. This movement on the part
Of the Health Officer will receive the hearty
commentator of the public at large, be-
cause 1t is a recognized fact that the habit
of allowing decayed garbage to lie about
the premises for days at time is a menance
to the health of the citizens. No matter
how hard the Health Officer may work to
advance the usefulness of his department
his efforts win prove futile unless the citi-
zens follow the excellent advise he has
given them.
DIR. Mann was the moving spirit in get
ting this ordinance passed by the City
Council last year. Upon every occasion he
has recommended that the only safe and
positive way to deal with this problem
was to have the swill and garbage collected
at stated intervals and by responsible par
ties. To leave refuse matter scattered
about the yards In thickly-setted portions
of the town is a direct invitation for many
ailments to fasten themselves upon the
people. 1t is much easier for disease to
get a foothold among the people then it is
to check that same disease when once 1t
has a firm grip. This Is why the Health
Officer has been SO persistent in advocating
this measure.
H<x~ H.. Ill -.
enact such ordinance as will assist in
keeping the streets clear of this refuse
matter which would be liable to spread
contagious diseases. Repeatedly last sum-
mer vendors of perishable stuffs, such as
Ash, meat, fruits and vegetables
ately threw the dscayed portions Of their
load here and there about the streets.
Upon several occasions the police hsve
taken hand In the matter and taught the
guilty parties Lesson not 20 b forgotten.
On ono occasion In particular, Paw
tucket marketman drove into this city and
dumped his loed In the brushwood on
Hunt street. He was seen by IN ofhcer,
who made him reload the team and cart it
elsewhere.
Then, again, there are many clubhouse
connection and sink connections which
are regular death beds. The majority of
epidemics can be traced directly to this
cause. It seems that some kind of an
ordinance ought to be passed, il there is
none, which would give the Health Officer
sole control of this matter and place him
in such position that he could enforce
his orders to the letter OF the law. The
Health Officer has taken the initiative in
this important matter, and it rests now
with the City Council and the citizens at
large to aid end assist him in preventing
any serious epidemic during the coming
heated term.

sailor, In the Small Boat.

It Is a curious fact that few seamen can
handle small boat with facility. This ap.
plies chiefly to the crews Of sailing craft,
as the large steamship corporations long
ago realized this failing among sailors and
instituted q series OF boat drills on their
steamships that have been productive OF
excellent results. knowledge Of the work
ings Of small boats Is q requisite that ev'
cry seaman should possess, and young men
intending to follow the sea for a livelihood
should acquire it before they tread the
decks Of vessel, as they will have but lit
tie opportunity afterward.
The wise forethought Of steamship cor
porations in having their crews drilled
saved many lives at the wreck OF the
steamer Denmark, as something like 734
persons were transferred from her to the
Missouri without single accident In mid
ocean during q heavy swell. 1t follows,
therefore, that those who seek recreation
on the water would do well not to go In
any boat unless IL is In charge Of an expe-
rienced boatman and Is amply supplied
with life prescrvers. Boats ought to be
ballasted with fresh water In small casks,
instead Of stones or iron, 50 that, In the
event Of being capsized, the ballast may
help to keep them afoat. A young man
who may have been only very few times
In boat, under favorable circumstances,
assumes he can manage one. He makes up
party. the wind freshens or squall en-.
sues, no loses his head, capsize takes
place, the boat sinks, and the chances are
that hc and his companions will be drown

leave as little to chance a. possible. le.-Har'
