Found In Sewage.

Sewage is almost the only source
through which the colon bacillus is
introduced into river water, and the
idea that this germ is found in the
channel of the Mississippi at the foot
of long rapids and so far below large
cities in suifi :ient mum bers to be found
regularly by analysis in ordinary
samples is almost ridiculous. II the
source of contamination cannot be
found closer to home then the case is
most remarkable. II the samples of
water recently analysed at the Colum-
bia laboratories in Chicago at the in
stance of the city health authorities
contained the colon bacillus. as the
test showed, there are many things
that might have tended to destroy
these in one and increased the num-
Der in another sample, not to mention
the variety of conditions under which
the different samples may have been
gathered. At any rate not one nor
even two tests should suffice to be
taken as having solved the whole
affair.

SUPERVISORS PROPOSE
SOCIAL ORGANIZATION,

The organization of present and
former municipal officers of Rock Is
and into q club for social and other
purposes has led various members of
the board of supervisors, now in ses-
sion, to discuss among themselves
the advisability of forming an organ
izltion with present and former
mem bers of the county board eligible
for mem bership.
1t has been bro ught out that repre-
sentative citizens from all parts of
the county meeting perio ideally and
discussing subjects of common inter-
est would be worth something in the
community besides furnishing occa-
sions for very pleasant reunions. As
the board takes on very much the ma
ture of fraternal organization, any
way, such a move will be likely to
meet with much favor.

JEWISH NEW YEAR
TO BEGIN TONIGHT.

The year 1862, according to He
brew chronology, will begin this
evening, and will be hailed every
where by solemn services in the tenn
pies and synagogues of both the or
thodox and reformed Jews. Services
will be held tonight and tomorrow
morning. and with the reformed He
brews the celebration will continue

Rosh Hashono, the Hebrew name
for the new year. is also called the
judgment day and memorial day-a
day on which to teach moral lessons
at the beginning of new period of
time. especially that man should go
into judgment on himself regarding
his character and condition. The
day is also observed during services
in the temples and synagogues by the
sounding of the trumpet. called "sho-
far" sym bolizing the proclamation of
God as king of the universe. The
sounding of the trumpet calls the
people TO repentance.
Domestically the day is celebrated

tivities usual to holidays. Those who
observe it refrain from all manner of
work and 60 from house to house ex-
tending the compliments of the sea-

LATEST WATER TEST
An Attack on the Reservoir Sys.

AS TO GERMS IN FILTER BED
Facts Show That They Could
Not Propagate Under Such
Conditions.

The ARGUS does not wish to defend
any in 1titution that may be operating
in any manner against the welfare or
best interests of the city, but it does
not contend that hasty judgment
should not prevail and operate to create
a sentiment against anything when
once established before it has been
given thorough trial under favora-
bic circumstances. This applies at
present particularly to the city's res
ervoir system which seems Just now
in position to come in for an indefi-
mite amount of more or less IN ust
blame in connection with the probabie
presence of typhoid fever germs in
the water supply.
To begin with, the present system
was installed as the best obtainable
when properly arranged and oPerat-
ed. Similar filter plants are in use
over the civilized world, and where
they are not overtaxed. especially in
the thickly populated parts. the saw
ing of human life they effect is be-
yond estimate. They apply the only
practical natural method for the rid
dance of water from filth and infec-
ton. This of itself is sufficient to
give us cause before we attack the
principles upon which the system is
based.

are very apt to err in attempting to
discover the presence of the specif C

the contention is made that
typhoid germ has never been seen

most powerful microscope, nor de-

Raw water For Consumption.

In justice 10 the reservoir it should
be said that for a great part of the
summer raw water was pumped into
the mains on various occasions and
during the entire season the capacity
of the plant, which is little over O.
900. 000 gallons daily, was stretched
to from three to four millions. A
good portion of the time, too, one or
other of the filter basins has been out
of use during the cleaning process,
still further limiting the capacity.
This has given every opportunity for
the dangerous bacteria that the water
appears TO contain to get into the
storage basins and into the mains.
And here it is in place to say that the
condition OF the latter basin might
be made the subject of inspection.
AS there is no way OF draining 1t
there is no means of knowing what
sort of filth may lie hidden in its
depths.

Iowa Farmer Tells How 1t May be
Profitably and Safely
ON a Small Scale.

Some think it necessary to ave a
pond for geese. We have raised them
for years with only a pan of drinking
water before them at all times, and
find they are not a bit of trouble.
Get two sittings of eggs from two
breeders. Mark the little ones from
each lot in a different way. 1 cut a
slit in the web of the foot with a
scissors.
Five eggs are as many as a hen can
cover comfortably. I have set as
many as seven under a large hen, but
never had more than five hatch, and
where 1 set five 1 could almost count
my goslings before they Matched. I
mate my geese in pairs, and the eggs
are sure to be fertile. When they ara
due to hatch L watch to see hat mons
of the little ones get stuck in the
shells. When they are dry have a bas-
ket with a warm piece of flannel ana
bring them into the house, and yo9
will fairly see them grow. When
they are a day old put the hen in a
good-sIzed coop. \ yard n foot
high or less will keep them in until
they get used to the hen for a moth
er. Move the coop every day so they
will have fresh grass. In stormy
weather do not let them out until the
storm is over.-M. Smith, in Farm and
