UNPLEASANT PROPHECIES.

Dr. William Osler of Johns Hopkins
University, same years ago predicted
an epidemic of typhoid fever i'm Phi
ladelphia in consequence of the i'm
proper condition of the water supply.
He was forthwith written down as a
faddist and IA pessmist and charged
with injuring the reputation Of a spot
less city. He was ridiculed by some
and cursed by others and his advice
went unheeded. 1t is the fate of men
who make unpleasant prophecies to be
deCried and to have every ass braying
and every cur yelping at his heels. But
retribution came and vindiCation came
for quite recently Philadelphia devel-
oped 1899 cases of typhoid with $40
cases ending fatally, Now Philadelphia
believes in prophecy.
Honolulu has had many warnings,
but it has taken a long time for the
warnings to be heard. Today however
the Board of Health receives a report
upon the question of liberation for the
city water. The report will be a strong
recommendation to adopt the plan as
proposed by the executive. 1t is to be
hoped that the matter will not re-
main in the state of recommends
ton" but that action will be the re-
suit. Everybody acknowledges that
the water supply is by no means above
suspicion and that it is probably the
ultimate cause of much disease and Of
the resultant deaths. The case of Phi
ladelphia may be cited as warning.
But though good work has been done
in this direction there is no time for
the Board to sit down idle. The clean
ing up of the slums of the city is be-
fore it to be done. The filth and the
stencil are there and they should be
done away with. When the Board has
tackled this phase of its work, fear
lessly, it's supporters will rise on all
sides and give it credit, and it will have
it's own sense of duty done" to satisfy
it's conscience.

Mr.. Upton represented the state Of Ne
braska In the United States Senate for

pied a very prominent place in that body.

many an opponent He was in great de-
mand as a stump speaker in behalf of his
party, and was an important figure in a
number Of exciting political campaigns
He was of a genial temperament and en-
joyed wide popularity.
Mr.. Upton occupied the last several
years of his life in writing a history of
Nebraska, covering the period of time
during which he was intimately acquainted
with political affairs of that state. He was
the first senator to be elected from Ne
braska.
Mr.. Upton was born near Cadiz Ohio,

man, but in a short time left that church
and became a Congregationalist. In 1858 he
emlgrated to Nebraska, and was elected to
the first constitutional convention in that
state. He was member of the territorial
legislature in 1860. His next office was that

term in the United States Senate and be-
for that term had expired he was reelected
to fill a full term of six years Since his
retirement from politics he has lived prin-
cipally in Washington. Senator Upton was
an enthusiastic whig during the latter days
of that party, and an ardent supporter OF
Clay, Taylor, Scott and Fremont. Upon the
organization of the republican party he be-
came allied with 1t, and it as a repub-
lican' that he was elected to the Senate. He
was, however. very liberal in his views.
He supported Grant in 1868 and Greeley in
1872 He Is survived by his widow and two

Arthur Clinton sat,by the window of
his little office high up in big build
ing and looked into some other fell
lows office across the street. He had
no interest in anything that was there,
except perhaps a girl whom he had
seen at the window once or twice and
who struck him as rather pretty. On
this occasion she was not visible, and
Arthur merely looked over there be.
cause he had to look somewhere.
He saw desk with open lid and lit
tered with documents. The large man,
with gray side whiskers, who usually
sat at that desk, was not to be seen.
Indeed, the room seemed empty. Pres
emily, however, Arthur saw a hand
and an arm clothed in gray sleeve
reach out over the desk and take
paper therefrom. No other portion of
the individual came into view.
The incident was without signifi-
canoe, and Arthur would not have no.
ticed it if his mind had not been an
absolute blank at the time. 1t may
have been quarter of an hour later
that Arthur's eyes again wandered
across the way. The side whiskered
