Fairly complete returns indicate that Mr..
Taggart has been reelected by a plurality
of from 1900 to 1900 There are
as many explanations CT what did
it as there are Republicans. but the
figures show a few points of interest The
Republican workers found it extremely diff
ficult to get out their vote and finally sue
ceeded I'm getting out scarcely more than rs
per cent of those polled as Republicans.
Comparison of precinct returns with pre-
einct poll figures shows that in almost ey-
cry precinct anywhere from three to twenty
of those who did go or were hauled to the
polls in Republican vehicles voted for Tag
gart.
AT o clock this morning all the precincts
except one, the eleventh Of the Fourth
ward, had sent in returns, and on a hasty
compilation of the figures, it is shown that
Taggarts plurality, emitting this one pre-
cinct is 4,S71. Cox and Stuckmeyer will run
several thousand behind this. Smiths vote
for mayor will creep close to the FIVE hun
dred mark, while White polled but a few
over two hundred. The board of canvassers
will meet to-day in the Council chamber.
There is the greatest irregularity in the
precinct returns. One precinct will show a
slight Republican gain or slight Republican
loss and another next to 1t Will snow loss
that is simply appalling. Thus it makes 1t
impossible to say that the trouble lay in
any one locality or among any one class
OF Republican voters. AS q general thing
the Republicans of the South Side stood by
their colors more steadfastly than did those
north of Washington street and Republic
an gains were made notably in the Fif-
teenth, Eleventh. Ninth and Eighth wards.
Judge Stubbs and w. o. Hays ran ahead of
the ticket, but were not saved
The oodles of Democratic money on tap
made a heavy impression in some OF the
precincts of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and
Tenth wards. Though it was not confined
to these wards by any means it was more
noticeable here than elsewhere.
The total vote is estimated in the
neighborhood of $1,000, showing the
shortage Of about ten thousand. This
cannot be attributed to the weather, for
Mr.. Wappenhans never put forth a more
beautiful article of bracing, balmy October
atmosphere nor a more pleasing display of
mellow October sunshine in all his long
career of usefulness. People did not vote
because they did not want to and it is evil
dent that nearly all those who did not want
to were Republicans. The figures tell the
tale Of woe in detail.

About MeII Uuater.

The following article appeared
in last weeks Pocateilo Advance,
and as it applies with equal force
to this city, we copy it:
EDITOR ADvANcE:-The purity
OF our water supply is a most vital
question, affecting our physical
health and welfare, and it is most
important at this season when the
final decay Of our vegetable world
has begun for this year. We ex-
pect and have now among us the
usual results Of the absorption into
our systems Of such decay; that is,
typhoid fever and allied intestinal
diseases. It has been proven that
no more prolific mode exists where
by the germs of such disorders
enters our bodies than the drinking
OF impure water-such water as
gotten from wells and cisterns.
The ground upon which our city
is built is nothing more than de-
post or wash" by the waters If
long ago. 1t is ali essentially por-
Gus matter and readily allows the
absorption of water thrown upon
it, and that, too, carrying all man.
ner of filth and refuse matter. Such
wells as have been dug or driveT
in this place are not deeper thah
from twenty-five to thirty-fve fee Il.
In not single instance has one
been driven to clay bottom Or
bedrock. These wella, shallow as
they are, still go deeper than the
privy vault or the cesspool, and in
most cases are but few feet re-
moved. None Of the cesspools are
cemented, hence all the fluids de-
posted in them must filter through
the porous earth and finally finds
its way into the nearest we'll.
Objection may be raised by say
ing that the intervening ground
would be all sufficient to
purify the water, hut while this
is true i'll part, still the process is
essentially continuous one and
the ground must in time berome
saturated and taxed greatly in ex-
cess Of its powers. Ocular evil
dence Of the purity of we'll water
is quite sufficient for most people.
The bright, limpid water from a
well that drains graveyard, cess
pool or privy vault is counted a
blessing by many who would shud-
der could they but see the diseases
and death lurking in the same.
1t has been proven beyond doubt
that one single privy vault built
upon nearly level ground does con
taminate the soil for a radius of
over fifty feet. This being the
truth, it is questionable, where
people are as rule dependent
upon wells for water supply,
whether it is not more dangerous
to health to dispose of such filth
under the ground bv cesspool
method, than by throwing it into
the street. J. II. BEAN. M. d.

THE PRICE TOO MUCH.
Che Bannock Gnoians Wtll
Still Keep Ubetr Reser=
Nation.

The negotiations with the Sho-
shones and Bannocks for the pur-
chase Of about 10000 acres of
their reservation south and east Of
Pocatello came to sudden end last
Saturday afternoon. Friday even
ing Commissioner McNeeley re-
ceived a telegram from the depart
ment saying that the proposed
price, $4 per acre, was too high;
that the department would not
sanction such an agreement and
that the proposed cut of did not
take in enough land.
When Commissioner McNeeley
reached Ross Fork, where a confer
ence had been called, for the pur-
pose of perfecting the minor de
tails of the proposed agreement
aud for securing the signatures of
such Of the head men Of the tribes
as had not yet signed, he found the
Indians all there ready to sign the
agreement as it had been accepted
by their chiefs and feeling consid-
erably elated over the prospects of
receiving a handsome sum Of cash
in hand.
When Commissioner McNeeley
communicated to them the sub
stance Of the instructions received
from the department, a damper was
thrown on tile conference at once.
Tho Indians took counsel together,
anil finally came to the decision
that they would come down to 10
per acre, the figure offered by Com
missioner McNeeley, but when the
commissioner insisted that the
government wanted more land, the
Indians decided that they would
not sell any more and that they
would stand by their "A per ac-e
and SO informed the commissioner.
The commissioner then informed
them that it would be useless to
proce ID any farther and declared
all negotiations off. He informed
them that he would leave PocatelIo
soon, but that if, on consideration,
they came to the conclusion to re-
consider their decision, they could
inform him SO that he might re.
turn and hear them.
1t is generally said that the Nez
Perces are responsible for the high
price demanded by the Indians.
About twenty-five or thirty Of them
were here on visit just before the
treaty was agreed upon and they
told the Indians here that while
they had sold for So an acre, they
might just as we'll have had So,
and if they demanded that amount
they would get it. This, in fact,
was the price set by the Indians

The failure of the government to
ratify the treaty with the Bannoek
Indians was to be expected, for the
price ash ed, "a per acre, was en-
tirely top much. Something like
81 per acre would have been ac-
cepted. The next thing for the
government to do is to kick those
worthless, lazy redskins off of
about half of the Fort Hall reserva-
ton and throw it open to the
whites. This thing of having to
wait for the noble IN red man to
make up his mind and then accept
his terms or nothing is getting to
be chestnut. Throw them out
