fed with giving us politics galore be-

to a daily rehash of the past. and are

There is nothing more necessary to
the good health and comfort OF the peo-
pie than pure food. The fact that a
large number of cases of watered milk
have been brought forward shows that
there is a tampering with one of the
foods which is used largely for young
children and sick people. The dairy
which does this supplies the poorer
classes of customers. 1t is high time
that the law reached these people.

American citizens still come along
though there is no election in sight.
The fact is men want to be under a
flag that they know will protect them
on the spot and don't want to wait for
endless appeals to Europe'to have their
international matters settled. The last
few months has produced very large
number of good American citizens I'M
der any circumstances. But times
have changed very considerably.

Crowds Marvel at the Change and

Safety Of Banks and Bridges.

Clear water in the Chicago river
water that was actually blue In color
and that had blocks OF ice Of trans
parent green hue floating in it--caused
people who crossed bridges over the
Chicago river yesterday to stop and
stare In amazement. The stream
whose name had become a synonym
for liquid hideousness all over the
world and which had for years made
Chicago target for the scorn Of jeal-
ous rivals was comparatively pure. Its
water wac not altogether transparent,
but the crowds that watched 1t over
the bridge raillngs all day declared
that It was purity itself compared with
what 1t had been two or three days
before. Only one explanation was
found for the phenomenon--th the open
ing Of the sanitary canal.
As far west as the forks OF the river,
as far north as Kenzie street, as far
south as Randolph street, the i'm
provement was evident. Throughout
the river decided current was notice.

Special Dispatch to the Ledger.
WEILsvILLE, Mo-, January 4.-The
Wabash Omaha fast mail, which leaves
st. Louis at 1880 p. M, was wrecked
at WellsviIle, is miles east OF Mexico,
Wednesday night. The train was
speeding along at lively rate when
the engine struck a COW, about four
telegraph poles east OF the Depot,
which, an old railroader's word for it,
resulted in the most complete demoli-
tion Of the engine ever experienced
In this section. The monster "iron
horsen left the track with a death
leap and, after turning end for end,
landed In the ditch a mass OF ruins
Just opposite the depot. The mo-
mentum Of the train was so great
that it was forced about three times
ito length westward, when 1t left the
rails and stopped with a thud 1t
would seem that the tender was car
rIed with the train some two hundred
feet from the point where the engine
was ditched, when It veered from the
track into the depot platform and was
the means OF derailiDg the entire
train, which consisted Of sleeper,
two coaches, mall car and baggage
car.
The train was in charge of Con-
ductor Onshmap, with r. W. sprague
at the throttle, assisted by John ].
fireman. Engineer sprague
escaped with q badly dislocated
shoulder and sundry other injuries OF
minor import, while his fireman, John
after a diligent search, was
taken from beneath the smoker the
most frightfully mangled mass of
human hesh eye ever beheld, and but
Tor the admixture Of the dead mans
the awful conglomeration Of
iesh, bones and blood, which struck
horror to the stoutest hearts of the 100
passengers, might have been recog-
iized as anything else but human
orm. Up to the time Of flling this
'eport the poor fellows head had not
,een found.
None of the passengers we're SER
ously hurt, though many were more
'r less shaken up.
A dispatch to Moberly brought the
Vrecking crew out In double- quick
ime, and after about four hours OF
Iard work the coaches were all track
d, and the train, with its cargo OF
adly frightened men, women and
hildren, took up it's western journey.
The train crew, under the direction
I Conductor Cushman, behaved ad-
airably and worked arduously for
be comfort OF the passengers.

Snenoer Held Without BAN.


AS result Of a preliminary trial be-
fore Squire Moore in vandalla We'd
nesday Edward Spencer is being held
in the Mexico jail without bail to
await trial on the charge OF having
murdered Ben Eddleman IN John At
kins' saloon in vandalia on Christmas
day.
1t is the general opinion that the
State has strong case against spenc-
er, but his attorneys expect to make
disclosures which will put new face
upon matters. They expect to prove
that Eddleman had threatened Spenc-
er and that the murdered man started
toward the alleged murderer just be-
fore being shot. 1t seems that there
had been hard feelings between the
two families for some time.

CATARRH A NATIONAL CALAMITY.

Our nation is passing through a srea
political crisis. Whether our national
policy Is 10 be one OF territorial expan
sion, or whether we are TO remain alooi
from International complications, is the
supreme question confronting our Con.
gress. The attention Of the world is df.
reeted toward us. The deliberations OF
eur Congress have come to be Of inter
national Importance.
But this consideration affects only
our external welfare. Our domestic
problems are not one bit less import.
ant. We have serious questions before
us that relate only to home interests.
Chief among them is the health OF our
people. Catarrh has already become o
national curse. Its ravages extend from
ocean 10 ocean. More thar. .one.half OF
the people are affected by It. 1t has be-
come such serious matter that 1t has
passed the boundaries Of the medical
profession and become a national ques.
ton. Senators are talking about IL;
Congressman are discussing it. They
are not only considering the extent and
chronic nature OF the disease, but the
possibility Of finding national remedy
to meet this national calamity.
