STRAWBOARD REFUSE.
secretary Hurry Explains why Ko-
kOmO Filtration Failed.

Ever since the State Board of Health an
nounced that the plan of filtration was the
only practicable one to apply to the prob
lem of handling the refuse from the straw
board works which the fish commissioners
have shown to be killing the fish in White
river, authorities all over the State have
claimed that it would not answer at ALL
Ex-senator Cranor even went to the length
of claiming that it had been tried at Ko-
komo and had proved to be a dismal failure
These statements coming to the ears Of
DR.. j. N. Hurry. of the State Board of
Health, the latter made the following state
ment concerning the Kokomo attempt to
filter the refuse. Said he
1.-THE experiment at Kokomo was very
crude and certainly not conducted with
thoroughness and skill The liquid refuse,
which contains great quantities of fine
straw particles, was, in this experiment., di-
rectly thrown upon the surface of sand fill
a Jesuit that should have been expected
The plan of the State Board Of Health is to
remove the fine straw. particles by centrifu-
ed pools and then destroy the soluble fer
inevitable matter which5is principally an or
ganic material called xylan, by microbial
action in deep sand filters. The Board of
Health is not going at-ths work in hap
hazard way, but has approached the sub
ject after scientific method. Two years
nave now been spent in making analyses
and laboratory experiments, and although
the results obtained in the laboratory would
seem to warrant the erection of a large
plant, it is nevertheless the intention of
the board to first erect and test an expert
mental plant. In addition to making the
analyses and experiments, two eminent en-
gineers who have had extended experience
in sand filtration have been consulted and
their opinions are entirely favorable. We
feel that this question has so far been
treated practically. for we certainly have
not evolved our ideas solely from inner
consciousness"

Mr.. w. H. MCGEE, who was in st. Louis
last week, is the only man living of Gus
ters command, the Seventh Cavalry, the
gallant troop that was massacred at Little
Horn river on June rs, 1876. History has it
that not a soul lived to tell the tale, but
Mr.. MCGEE is very much alive, and has
often told the story, but never, in all these
years where it could get in the newspapers.
He says he does not like notoriety, and for
this reason has never had his experience in
print, although he himself has, since the
memorable battle. owned several newspa-
pers.

1853 He and his mother left Cincinnati and
moved to Texas in the latter COS, and he

During the Kuklux trouble in the South in
1874 he joined the regulars at Quincy, ILL.,,
but soon afterward came to st. Louis. He

regiment in the South. His military life
was uneventful at that time. 1t is his career

with Her Father.

Police Judge Cox allowed Gertrude Wal
tiers to return to her home, at Robinson,
ILL.,, with her father yesterday. Her case
has attracted much attention from the po-
lice and the women in charge of the Door
of Hope, as related in the Journal yester-
day morning. She appeared in Police
Court charged with assault and battery on
Assistant Matron Carson, of the Door of
Hope. She said that she would not go home
and Judge Cox sentenced her to pay IS
fine and the costs in the case and to serve
$50 days in the Workhouse. Her old father
pleaded with the judge to let him take his
daughter home and at last the court con-
scented, providing the father would place the
girl under treatment for insanity. This the
old man said he would do Physicians who
casually examined her here would not say
the girl was insane, but her father told the
court that home doctors had decided her
mind was deranged.
