HE IS TEETHLeSS NOW.
An Italian aud a Negro Mix With
 Bad Results

Jack Michelotti, a young Italian shot and severely wounded Webster Kannan, young negro man, Sun day night in front of the Pfess-Eagle office on East Barraque street.
 The affair. as related by an eye witness, came about in the following way:
 Jack Michelotti and young white boy, whose name we were unable to learn. were "buxing" on tie side walk near the Bua @eiser saloon. Kennan, who is employed at the Merchants as waiter, came along with a tray on which were some dishes. He remarked to Miehelotti tAat he could "out box" him and Nichelotti told him to go to -.
 The negro took his tray to the restaurant and soon returned, to, If possible. arrange Ego" with Miehelotti
 They got into fuss. and the negro threw his hend into his back pocket. as fl to get a aun. Mlehelotti was about as fast as the negro. and little faster. He pulled out his re- yoiver and began shooting. The negro received one of the bullets in his mouth, and as result. he is minus q few teeth He WAS attended by doctor, and carried to his home.
 Michelotti, in the meantime. took leave of absence, which will proba bly be a lengthy one. He met young Lewis Cheek at the railroad crossing in the western part of the city this morning and asked him when he thought 8 Little Rock train would come along. That was the last seen of him.
 Miehelotti just recently returned to Pine Bluff. He stole some money from his own father here several weeks ago and skipped. The negro denies what Jacks partner has rela ted. He is some better today.

James Reed Injured.

Mr. James Reed struck his leg against cake of ice in such a man. ner as to bruise it severely. It be- came very much swollen and pained him so badly that he could not walk without the aid of crutches. He was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of liniinent and two and a half gallons of W hisky in bath ing it, but nothing gave any relief until he began using Chamberlain s Pain Balm. This brought almost a complete cure in weeks time and he believes that had he not ised this remedy his leg would have had to be amputated. MT.

QUICK WORK.

You can criticise the local polio ] department if you will, but give credit where credit is due. Saturday night a robbery was committed at a residence in the city and was discov- cred soon afterwards.

 that he was forced to tell all. Our policemen don't weigh 190 pounds,
 but they are Ready" just the same.

SALT WATER FLUSHING.

Now that sanitation is the chief topic
of local concern it may be well to re-
cur to Chief Hunts idea of flushing the
sewers with salt water and see if the
means for that purpose cannot be pro-
vided by the time the sewers are ready
for public use.
Sewers are a danger TO health when
flushing is imperfectly done and the
only way perfection can be had in this
city, where the fresh water reservoirs
are so often low, is by employing ocean
brine. a sewer system permitted to
become clOgged. or only half flushed.

is diphtheria and kindred ills. But the

teresting one. It's hygienic and SAM
tary features were implanted but were
none the less effective on that account.
John u. Spreckels and other capitalists
put some money into the great Lurline
baths al the corner of Bush and Larkir
streets in the midS. of the distric;
where complaints about sewer gas had
been most frequent. These baths are
supplied with fresh ocean water pump
ed from the neighborhood of the CHI
House. six miles away. Mr.. Spreckels
and his partners did not think of sewer
gas at all when they built the Lurline;
they were merely after the silver quar-
ters of the great unwashed. But il
turned out that the nightly emptyinr
of the big tank into the sewers so ef-
fectually cleaned and sailed them that
complaints of sewer gas in that district
came to an end, diphtheria and mala-
rial fever nearly disappeared and the
health rate along the line of the Lur-
lines outflow is now as high as Il is on
Pacific Heights, Preside Heights and
Mob Hill.
We therefore take much stock in
Chief Hunts suggestion for Honolulu

An interesting discussion appears
elsewhere in this paper as to the right

ginning Of the twentieth century. Rt.
Rev, Alfred willis. the Anglican Bishop
Of Honolulu contends that the date of
the new century will be January 1st.

the Ladies Home Journal agrees with
him. On the other hand we find Rev.
Serene Bishop, ID. D., master of mathe-
MATES as we'll as theology, contendins
with the Pope that the century began
with the year 1900 We will not pre-.
tend to decide n question where Dos-

tents Of the year with entire faithful
ness whether they appear in a preface
