sooner or later shorten life. The innumer-
able cases of heart disease, Bright's dis
ease. enlarged livers, apoplexy, and par

arteries. The effect of a systematic
course of treatment under the Sprague

TO his intimates the late Prof. Marsh
was known not only as scientific man OF

One of these. which ne used to tell of him

of the trip had been spent on the plains of
Nebraska and Wyoming, at that time the

whose presence near the command were
often seen. The whole party realized that
they were in a dangerous country, and all
hands were careful not to wander far
from the command: or. If two or three fos-
sill gatherers did go off from the main
body, they took with them number Of
soldiers to stand guard while they worked.
After leaving this dangerous region the
expedition moved on to the bad lands near
Fort Bridger, where there were but few
Indians and those friendly ones, and the
work of gathering fossils went on.
One day Prof. Marsh was hard at work
on his knees in the bottom of the narrow
ravine. digging away the soil from bone
which stuck out of the bank. He was en-
nothing of what was going on about him
until the brilliant sunlight, which poured
down on him, was cut off by dark shad-
ow, and he looked UP to see standing above
him great grim Indian warrior, holding
his rifle at ready. The professors heart
leaped into his throat He forgot where
he was. He strove to utter a propitiatory
How" but his dry lips refused to form
the word, and he could only swallow try
ing to get rid of the lump in his throat
Suddenly the savage bent toward him and
spoke: Have l the honor of addressing
Prof. Othneil Charles Marsh, the eminent

quired. The revulsion of feeling was al
most too much for the professor, who was

Certain Evils.
DR.. VIM. G. Woodward, the District health
officer, recently invited the attention of the
Commissioners to the 10th section of the
act OF Congress of January %. 1898 which
authorizes the Commissioners under certain
circumstances to cause box privies to be
cleaned and kept in proper condition. and
to assess the cost thereof against the prop
erty on which the receptacles are located
He asked to be advised as to the proper
method of procedure-whether the cost of
such work should be paid from the appro-
priation for preventing the spread of con-
taglouS diseases, or whether a deficiency
can be properly incurred for doing it,
The Commissioners referred the matter
to their attorney, who has advised them
that the cost of such work cannot be paid
from the appropriation mentioned by Dr.
Woodward, and that no deficiency can prop
erly be incurred for doing it, The cost of
the work, the attorney thinks, should be
paid from what is known as the emergency
fund.- which is provided to be expended
only m cases of emergency, such as riot
pestilence, public insanitary conditions, etc.
In the opinion of their attorney, the Com
missionerS are not required to invite bids
for the work, but can forthwith cause it to
be done, at cost not exceeding the mar
ket value, and then assess the cost thereof
against the property affected, said tax to
as other taxes are collected, due notice, of
course, being first given to the property
owner
The Commissioners have approved the
opinion, and the health officer will be direct
ed to proceed as recommended.
