and barely had time to escape from

it made good time there was little
left for it to do when it arrived but
save part Of the walls.
The family had no time to dress

their clothing etc. was DESTROYED,
leaving them in a condition that de.

Miss Belknap was quite overcome by
the excitement and was carried to a

Boil the Water.
John McQuee

In a season of heavy showers it is impos- sible to keep organic matter out of sources of water supply, especially if those sources consist of small streams. The larger the source of supply, the smaller the danger of contamination, unless indeed the source be deep wells. It is safe to confess at the outset that the supply of this city is subject to contamination with every rush. ing, overspreading shower. The water tum- bles Into the stream from every hillside and contributory valley, laden with whatever it can pick up, from habitations or from decaying vegetation or from the surface dirt of the locality. The stream is small at the best. and during the next three months it will be subject to more less contamination beyond all manner of doubt.
 Filters are not to be depended upon house filters particularly. MT. John W. Hill, of Cincinnati, is the leading expert of this country in the relations of water to disease and in bacteriology, and he has proven that water from a Pasteur filter often teens with bacili. The little
 
 creatures can in fact go wherever water goes. No filter can take them out of wa ter. They are much too small and elusive to be winnowed out by any contrivance of that nature.
 There is but one way to securely render water harmless. There is but one way to take from water all unhealthy germs Boil it. Boil it fifteen or twenty minutes, and every one of the varmints in it will be deader than Hector. They can not be frozen to death, or pounded to death or filtered to Imprisonment, but their career can be cut short by the use of heat.
 During the next ten or twelve weeks the boiling of all drinking water is the true and only sure way to escape all germs and the effects of all organic matter. There are worse water supplies than that of this city, but to say that water drawn from a small stream in period of thunder showers is pure is to say that the Cahaba valley is purity itself. It is not.

NEW YORK TO MANILA BY CABLE.
Exactly How the Messages Go-The Bureau
 of International Telegraph.

From the Telegraph Age.
 It costs $2350 to telegraph ten words from New York to Manuila. It may seem at thought that S2.35 is 9 large sum to pay for sending single word from New York to the Philippines, but when one re- fleets that such message travels 20,0oo miles and that it must be received and transmitted over many different lines, he is more likely to come to the conclusion that it is very cheap, all things considered. From New York the cablegram goes first to Canso, or Halifax, N. S., or Hearts Content, Newfoundland, where it dives be- meath the Atlantic, to reappear on the coast of Ireland and be again forwarded to London, which is the great center of cable and telegraphic communication for the whole world.
 From London to the East there are three routes, the Eastern, the Great Northern and the Indo- European.
 The first will take the message across the channel and overland to Marseilles, or by the all-water course around the Span ish peninsula, stopping at Lisbon; thence through the Mediterranean to Alexandria, across Egypt by land. down the Red sea to Alden, through the Arabian sea to Bom- bay, over India by land, across the bay of Bengal to Singapore, along the coast of Hong Kong, and across the China sea to Manila.
 The second route from London is even longer and covers a much greater part of the journey by land. It takes the mes- sage from London by the lines of the Great Northern company across Russia and Si- beria to Vladivostock, and thence along the China coast to Honk Kong.
 The third route takes the message from London through Germany and Russia to Bushire in the Persian gulf, thence by ca ble to Kurrachee, India, and over the In- dian land lines, where the message will follow the cable of the Eastern company or through land lines in China to Shang- hai, thence by cable to Hong Kong.
 The three routes all lead to Hong Kong, China, where the cable connects with the Philippine islands at Bolinao, island of Luzon.
 In its long voyage, occupying from three to twenty-four hours, according to it's urs gency, the message has crossed or skirted a score of countries, representing almost as many different nationalities, and yet the sender may rest assured that it will be transmitted with promptness and secrecy, and at fixed and known charge.
 This assurance is provided by the bureau of international telegraphs, which has it's headquarters at Berne, Switzerland. It was inaugurated thirty years ago for the purpose of collecting, arranging and pub fishing information" the subject regu- lating accounts and guaranteeing the inter- est of senders and receivers. It brought order out of the chaos previously envelop- ing international communication by wire, and has made it possible to cable to any part of the world as easily as one sends telegraph message from his office to his home.

guns and cartridges Is almost equivalent to sending them away without rations. One blunder Is not much greater than the other. This is nearly August, and war prepara- tions were begun on February 15, if not before.
 Overwhelming force and resources may prevent disaster at Porto Rico. The en- emy consists of degenerates. But if men are needlessly killed the facts will become known, and public indignation and con- gressional action will not be confined to the Incompetent. President Mckinley must face the responsibility. He has been per mitted to shove off on others many things that he should have been held responsi- ble for; but the sending of men against Mausers armed with a weapon and with an explosive that China would be ashamed of, is an act that the president must, at this late day, and in the face of known circumstances, answer for to the people.

The State Election.

It is but ten days before the state elec- ton in Alabama occurs. On account of the war situation but little apparent interest has been taken in politics. Everybody nat urally supposes that every democratic can didate in the state will be elected. It is natural supposition. But no democrat in the state should fail to go to tho polls on election day and cast his ballot for the regular democratic candidates. Every county in the state should be retrived from popuist and republican rule. The state ticket should carry every county and every county should elect democratic mem- bers of the legislature The following is the regular ticket, nominated by the demo- crats for state offices:
 For Governor-Joseph F. Johnston.
 For Chief Justice-Thomas N. Mcclellan. For Associate Justices-J. R. Dowdell, J. K. Tyson, Jonathan HaraIson and H. A. Sharpe
 For Secretary of state-Robert P. Me David
 For Auditor-Walter s. White.

Three Lines of Summer Warfare,

The war is proceeding on three lines. It is being pushed very vigorously, too, on all three lines. There is no belief in any quar- ters that Spain will sue for peace until the hopelessness of her situation is made man. ifest to the mass of the people in that country. They entertain still many false hopes and false reports. and nothing but the pressure of war and succession of disasters to their arms, as well as to their fleets, can awaken them to the real situa- ton.
 To this end Porto Rico is to be occupied by an overwhelming force. Men are gath ering there from Newport News, from Charleston and Chickamauga from Tampa and from Santiago. They go to new battle. fields flushed with victory. General Miles
