CITY WATER HEALTHY.
Examination Completed and Explana-
ton of the Pond Like Taste Made.

The reports of the chemist and bac-
terlologist on the condition of the city
water have been filed with City Ply
stefan Mitchell and both reports show
that the Topeka city water is not dan
geroUs to the health
An explanation of the bad taste and
odor which was so noticeable for sew
eral weeks has not been made. The
chemist makes an effort to explain it
but his conclusions are merely the result
of conjecture.
chemical analysis says in his report:
The water supplied by the Topeka
water company is not injurious to
health.
The water is excelIed in purity only
by distilled water and the deep spring
waters
while the water had a disagreeable
odor and taste it was not in any way
contaminated with organic matter.
The odor was probably due to the
fact that some of the joints in the pipes
of the intake had been covered with
vegetable matter deposited by high wa
ter.
This organic matter was undergoinga
process of fermentation and as it was
possible for air to pass through it and
through the joints the water became
scented but did not contain the organic
matter. As the joints have now been
uncovered and exposed to the rays of
the sun the trouble has subsidized"
DIR. E. B. LaFeVer made the bacteria
logical analysis and his report is ex-
haustive but he does not venture a.
suggestion as to the cause of the disa-
greeable taste and smell which was so
noticeable in the water.
He makes the following conclusions in
his report: THAT the number of germs
found in the drinking water, an average
of 21A germs per cubic centtmeter, is
as low as could reasonably be expected,
and that it is much lower than is Ordi-
narily found in water supplied to cit
les.
THAT the number of germs per cubic
centimeter is we'll within the bounds
laid down by psychologists for judging
of the portability of water from a bac-
THEOLOGICAL stand point this judgment
being based upon actual experience in
various parts of the world.
THAT there is no bacteria of known
harmful nature present in any of the
samples examined
THAT the samples examined show the
water to be free from the 3. Coli Com
NUNS, this indicating the absence Of
sewer contamination.
THAT the method of sand filtering as
practiced by the system used by the To-
peka Water company is shown to be
very efficient, in that the number of
germs is reduced from an average of
1 $40 to 213z per cubic centimeter.
1.-The cause of the water tasting and
smelling badly is not shown to be due
to dangerous, or other forms Of bacter-
ial life.
Finally that the water supplied to
the city of Topeka by the Topeka Wa
ter company is from a bacteriOlOgicaI
point of view, healthy and of good
quality
After, all this the people are still in
the dark a s far as the bad condition OF
the water is concerned. No one denies
that the water was not disagreeable,
both to taste and smell.

DIR. GAGNON is BANKRUPT.
Liabilities of Supposed millionaire

New York, Oct. "a little less than a
year ago, in the palm room of the Astoria,
Frank Beard called Dr. George s. Gagnon
"a cad, a cur and blackleg, rascally
thief, not a fit associate for a gentleman,
a horse sharper who puts up cheap hacks
and then swindles unsuSpecting persons
into buying them at fancy prices, a man
who enters horses in a show to sWindle
with them
OF course, a fight followed this language
and pr Gagnon used caraffe upon Mr..
Beard, the Adonis of Brooklyn.
Now DR.. Gagnon files with the United
States district court in New Jersey a petit
ton to be discharged from his debts, al
leging his bankruptcy. His own sched-
ules of his debts show he made a trail of
Indebtedness half way. acros- the CONT
nent, and yet he obtained in New York
credit for large sums of money, gambled
for high stakes, drove fast horses to fine
traps, wore good clothes and chung to the

FESTIVAL DEFICIENCY.
It is Small and Will Probably Be
Paid Out Today

The Committee of Fifteen is making an an
earnest effort to pay out. The books OF
the secretary show a deficiency of $3.50,
but the auditing committee has not yet
passed upon the bills and it is possible that
the committee may find some which are
unjust. In that event the deficit VIII pc
decreased by the amount of the bills
which should not be paid.
The committee met Wednesday evening
in the rooms of the Commercial club.
There was nothing to be considered but
the question of finance and that absorbed
all the attention. T F. Doran reported
during the day and had secured $3.50 The
collections made by Mr.. Doran, with the
assistance of two or three Others, amount to
over $500. All the work was done after
the reunion opened.
The secretary was instructed to issue
orders for the payment of all the prizes
A resolution inStructing the auditing cJm-
mittee to pass on all other bills was adopt
ed. The bills will receive their approval
before next Monday evening, when there
will be another meeting of the committee
and the bills will be ordered paid as au-
dited.
Mr. Doran and Mr.. Greenwald pledged
themselves to secure subscriptions today
for the reduction of the deficiency.

DEWEY'S WORD
Will Go a Long Way in the Peace
Negotiations.


Washington, Oct st can be stated
on authority that the various stories
published relating to the work Of the
peace commission now in Paris, Wher-
ever they assume to indicate a failure
of negotiations, renewal of hostilitieS
and the dispatch of a naval force to
the Spanish coast, are purely specu-
lative. AS q matter of fact, the COM
mission has not progressed so far with
its work as to warrant the attempt to
draw a conclusion as to the outcome.
1t is not even possible to predict the
length of the session with any accur-
acy.
The proceedings may last one month
or three. That will depend entirely up
on the view taken by the American
commissioners of the situation in Paris.
If they are convinced that the nego-
tiations are being conducted with sin
certify on the part of the Spanish COM
mission, there will be no effort made
to force them beyond reason. But if
it should appear that the Spanish posi-
ton is not subject to change; that it
is irreconcilable with the American de-
mands that the Spanish, knowing this,
are simply prolonging the proceedings,
our commissioners are likely to be
promptly recalled.
The Spanish government is now fully
informed through its commissioners or
the exact extent of Americas demands.
Whether these are absolute and not
subject to abatement cannot be ascer-
tanned here, for the responsible officials
declare that it would be extremely pad
policy to make any admission on this
point But the impression in official
circles is that the conditions are abso-
lutte in their general scope; yet there
may be opportunity for slight amend
ments in matters of detail. AS to these
details Admiral Dewey is one OF the
most trusted counsellOrs of the Amer1-
can commissioners. Such information
as he has been able to collect has been
already mailed to the commissioners,
and in addition the authorities mere
have cabled certain extracts from the
adniraTs observations which are be
now. 1t is believed that with his usual
modesty the officer has refrained from
expressing any opinion upon the very
essential point as to the extent OF the
American demands in the matter of ter
ritory in the Philippines. He has not
directly suggested that the whole group
be taken, nor that our claims be limited
to Manila bay and the contiguous ter
ritory. but he has called attention to
one very important consideration Whlch
has seemed to escape general obserVa-
ti0n mn to this time and which has been
laid before the American commissioners.
THAT is that with all the advantages
in a. commercial way possessed by Ma
Mia. the place is indefensible unless
Subis- bay be also held by the UNITED
States.
This particular bay is, on the whole,
remarked as being superior from
strategic point of view to Mania pay

IDENTIFY been of the same mind, Tor De

ON HER DEATH BED
An Ohio Woman Unravels a Murder
Mystery.

Washington Court House. o., Oct. g.
Eleven years ago Louis Ball was foul
" murdered here, his. head being cut off
with a razor and-fl1is head and body
laid across the railroad track in such
manner as to appear that he had been
killed by a train. Abraham Huffman
was arrested for the crime. but was re-
leased for lack of 'convicting evidence.
Others were suspected, but it looks now
as If the death bed confession of Mrs.
Jeffreys, of Hillsboro, O., just made in
the presence of four persons whom she
called to her death chamber, will re-
veal the identity of the murderer.
Mrs. Jeffreys implicated herself, an
other woman, and four men, giving
their names. She said that she held
Balls head while a man cut it off with
a razor; that the blood was allowed to
flow into a tub, which was afterwards
concealed under a house and that the
other woman held Ball on her lap, while
his head was being cut off. The men
carried the body and head to the rail-
road track to cover up the crime. The
persons implicated live in and about the
city Detectives have gone to Highland
county for additional evidence and a
big sensation is looked for today.

Struts death, who was found dead in
a bath tub in his apartments at the
West End hotel yesterday lies in the
fact that his clothes were in his room,
which was securely locked and the key
was down in the office in his box.
Struts room was 100 feet distant from
the bath room and the walk in a bath
robe along the corridor would certainly
been seen.
Who turned the key upon STRUTS
clothes and then took it to the office is a
mystery which the clerks and no one
about the hotel can explain. An Assoc

he accepted an invitation to dinner party

note showed he was in very cheerful spir-
