No doubt there arc fly spccks on the

The National Municipal league,
which has been holding its seventh
annual convention. heard many able
speakers on wide range Of subjects,
all included fairly under the general
term of municipal government. There
is no other part of American civil and
political organization that is so dis
couragingly far behind what it ought
to be as is the management of city.
town and borough affairs: yet there
is no part more important to the well
fare of the people of the republic.

Auburn seminary: Professor Henry G..
Minton, of San Francisco seminary,

In addition to the $50 commissioners
there will be as many delegates to
the womens meetings and friends in

denomination. Receptions and special
services covering various themes and

in the city which. in 1907, witnessed
the first organization of American

The cdict of the commissary de-
partmcnt of Jacksonville's local relief
committee for the distribution of sup
plies sent in, is ''no work, no food"
for all men able to work who refuse
to work. The work of the department,
say the dispatches, has been stupen-
dous one, which may well be believed.

On Saturday last at Cooper Union,
New York city, the one hundredth an
niversary OF the birth of Peter Cooper,
a commemorative tablet was unveiled
by the Unions Alumni association
The accounts say the tablet was de-
signed and executed by former students
of the institution, and then give the
honorcd name of Augustus st. Gaud-
ems as the maker of the bronze me-
dallion of Mr.. Cooper, and of William
C. Haskell as the maker of the marble
panel on which the medallion is set.

President Mex Kinley's route took him
to Los Angeles just at the time Of
that city's annual Flower Fete. The
descriptions Of that splendid festival
sent broadcast over the land have
moved Chicago to envy. The Record
Herald rises to claim-in large capital
letters and half page of space-that
"Chicago is the floral queen city of
the country" The claim is upheld by
stating that "Chicago buys and sells,
wholesale and retail, more flowers than
any other city in the United States"
That may bc, but it isn't the city of
flowers, for all that. as are the South
crn California cities, and Chicago peo-
pie who can do so live half the year
in their flower surrounded homes in
that land of flowers.

The world has heard much of late of
the manner in which the festive mos
quito and the multitudinous and
dreaded rat spread contagion. Now,
says the New York Tribune, Cape
Colony reports that the spread of the
plague in South Africa cannot be
checked until the rats are cxtirpatcd.
The ablcst sanitary experts all over
the world now agree that these sewer
pests spread infection so actively that
strong measures should be taken
everywhere to put an end to the whole
tribe. And malarin breeding insects
are also agents of incalculahle evil.
II is time FOR IL general crusade for
the annihila ton of the poison carrying
creatures above ground and below
ground" That is true, beyond perad-
venture. But when Is any community
going to bestir itself to do anything
about ii?

Yes, yes, let's all goI' shouted Tod
eagerly. %
"All right" agreed Jim Lowe; 1--WE are

They followed the tracks for several
hours-here losing, there finding them
again. At noon halt was called by the
side of mountain torrent, now running
thin, and they fed soberly on cold pork
and hard tack, washed down with water
from the stream. They discussed whether

would do whatever Jim Lowe wished.

move their camp somewhere near Jim
Lowe was inclined to approve of Tod $

plenty of daylight before them. thev
might spend an hour or two investfgatine
the banks of the torrent, as il was NOT
unlikely that the water had worn bare

was almost equally arduous. Here fallen
