La Grange is to have the most up-to-

age that science has devised, says Il
Chicago paper. Work on 1t will be be-
gun within two weeks, and it Will be
finished before the end of the year.
In this plant microbes will be made
to do the work. Cultures of the organ
isms will be kept in huge antiseptic
tanks. Through these tanks the sew
age will pass and when 1t comes out
will be as pure as fresh water, the mi
crobes having eaten all the impurities.
This method is the only practical
one for small towns" said T. l. ALI
son, a member of the village, board last
night. "All the towns of Illinois will
have to come to it by and by. 1t is al
ready in successful operation in Quin-
cy, Illinois, and Madison, Wisconsin,
but our plant will be an improvement
on both of these. The work will cost
several thousand dollars, and the con-

Peach Day at Grand junction.

Grand Junction, Colo, Aug. 30
Denver Republican Special THE spe-
cial feature of yesterdays events was
the feeding of 5000 visitors with
peaches and cream and cake at the
state armory. Some of the choicest
fruit that could be secured from the
growers in the valley was served to the
vast throng and all testified that no
more luscious thing than Grand val
ley peach could be produced in Colora-
do.
In the forenoon the visitors were en-
tertained by band concerts on the main
street and free exhibitions by the mid
way people.
At o'clock a game of baseball be-
tween the Glenwood Springs team and
the local club resulted in a defeat for
the Grand Junction boys by 10 to 0.
The balloon race between Frank Fra
sler and Professor Ivy Baldwin did
not materialize for some reason. but
Professor Baldwin made a fine ascen-
sion and parachute jump, going up full
ly 1000 feet.
The stage robbing scene on East
Main street occurred promptly at q
o'clock in the evening. Members of
the Unaweep tribe of local Red Men
participated in the robbery and the
manner in which 1t was carried out
was truly realistic.
Last night the big sham battle be-
tween the pioneers of the Pacific and
the Red Men occurred at the corner of
Seventh and Main streets. Two thou
sand rounds of ammunition was used
and the night was made hideous by the
yells and war whoops Of the Red Men.

Consumption Is not incurable. DR..
Allen Il. Haight, who has been in at
tendance on the British congress on
tuberculosis, is authority for the state
ment that its cure is effected by ma
tural means altogether, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. Fresh air, pure food
and well-ventilated sleeping rooms will
have more to do with the cure of a
consumptive than any other agencies,
he says.
DR.. Haight returned yesterday to
Chicago from a trip to Europe made
especially to attend the session of the
British congress. 1t was at this con-
gress that DR.. Koch, the eminent Ger
man specialist, advanced his theories
concerning chthisis. The German ply
sician's theory did not meet with the
approval of the delegates to the con-
gress. 1t was looked upon as too rad
ical to be accepted by medical men and
many physicians from nearly every
country took exceptions to his theo-
ries.
Consumption Is not deadly dis

pure, nutritive food and well-ventilated
sleeping rooms are about all that are
necessary. There Is absolutely no or
gan of the body that is immune from
tuberculosis. OF course, the lungs are
the easiest aft ected, but almost any or
gan of the human body may be attack
ed by the germs of the disease. There
is no way of determining just what
part may be attacked in case of an ep-
idemjc, but in every case cure is not
only possible, but probable, If the dis

sumption was not an incurable disease
and outlined a cure.
1T seems to me that If wealthy men
desire to leave their money for the ben
eft of their fellow men they could do
far better than establish and endow Ii
braries. There is more mortality in
this world from tuberculosis than
there is from all the wars of recent
days. Wars may claim its thousands.
hut consumption claims its tens and
hundreds of thousands.
"If some wealthy man who is desir-
GUS of establishing an institution that
will commemorate his name would
abolish the library idea and found sew
eral hospitals for the benefit of con-
sumptives 1t strikes me that 1T would
be far more useful"
DIR. Haight was appointed to the
congress as n representative of the
American Medical Association. He
has made exhaustive researches into
the disease and his appointment was
made because of them. He read n pa

losis of the Eye" for which he was

The Dixon, Qllinois) Evening Tele-

Reject Trade Union Label.

Buffalo, Aug. 3O.-At yesterdays ses-

lea, the committee directed that COM
mittee of three be appointed by the
chair to make a study ON behalf of the
Typothetae and other trades of the pro-
position that all trades be compelled
to use the union label. The convention
of 1900 was opposed to the idea, on the
ground that it infringed upon the per-
sonal liberty of its citizens. and this
convention is of the same mind.

A SLICK SVINDLER
Who Got Out Of jackson By a Lit.
tie Confidence Game
NOW ON HIS WAY BACK THERE
Since Leaving jackson the Swindler
Has Been Operating in other Local
tiles With a Good Measure of Sue
cess.

Jackson, Mich, May 21.-Deputy
Warden A. c. Northup of the state
prison is en- route from st. Louis, Mo-,
to Jackson prison with John X. Davis,
aged AZ, one of the slickest swindlers
in the country. He succeeded in get
ting out of prison last winter by the
same sort of confidence game which
sent him to prison from Detroit on
Aug. 2, 1899
In Detroit his scheme was the or
ganization of a large stock company
TO organize hotel resort near Detroit.
1t was capitalized at $25O,OOO, and
Davis succeeded in getting enough vic
tins interested to permit him TO sell
stock and pocket the money. He was
convicted of embezzling $50 and was
sentenced to nVe years at jackson IN
the recorders court.
When eX-Gov. Pingree was busy last
winter raising the gates of Jackson
prison, Davis planned to get out the
front gate. He first interested prison
guard, claiming he had $4,000 in a
safety deposit vault in Baltimore. AS
an evidence of good faith he showed
the keys to the private drawer where
the money was locked up. He also
showed to several Jackson attorneys
who were callers at the prison, New
York draft for 0,U00, and claimed his
corresponding deposit was in bank
at Weston, w. Va. 1t was nearing the
close of Pingree's term and any effort
for freedom must be made quickly.
The prison guard, a Jackson attorney
and a Detroit attorney close to Pin,
gree made a deal with Davis, which
promised them big pay for their SER
vices.
1t resulted in Davis sentence being
committed to Two years and six
months and parole was granted him.
His me under the arrangement
would expire Oct. 20 next. The Jack
son attorney and Detroit attorney
were kept waiting Oy Davis until final
ly, last February he disappeared. They
sent the prison guard to Baltimore
with the keys to the safety deposit
vault to obtain the $4,000. 1t is re-
lated that Wien the keys were present
ed the clerk looked through the CRATES
at the guard and said
Young man, | am sorry for you"
and passing back the keys, which were
as big as barn keys, you are not the
only one. How much are you out?"

Thomas F. McGarry was the last wit
ness before the grand jury yesterday
afternoon, occupying about an hour.
He will go on again today. McGarry
was attorney for the eastern pro
moters in the water deal, and is be-
lieved to have been the one to have
first interested Millionaire Taylor in
the local enterprise. 1t is believed he
knows where the 100000 Doodle fund
came from and who got it after 1t
reached Grand Rapids. How freely he
yielded up information he is supposed
to have possessed cannot be ascer-
tanned, but the prosecuting attorney
seems to be highly satisfied with the
situation.
Willard Kingsley, attorney for the
hydraulic company, told how his COM
pany was counted in on nearly all the
deals, but his Looding information
was mostly hearsay.

Death a. Lansing.

Worthwhile, Mich, May 22.-The un.
timely death OF Harry Vernier Of this
place, who was killed ~ train at
Lansing Monday, is particularly sad
and has a romantic story behind it,.
Young Vernier was only 10 ye.- old,
but deeply in love with Agnes Mooney,
aged II, a pretty girl of the village.
He had no means of supporting a wife,
however and she told him that If he
could find a position she would then
marry him.
Buoyed with hope the young man
started for Lansing a week ago. con-
fident that he would be able to find
work there, and in a short time return
to this place and claim his bride. But
luck was against him, and as he failed
TO secure the coveted job he deter
mined to return home and try his luck
here His mother sent him 50 with
which to pay his fare, but Vernier
evidently proposed to save the money
and return by freight. His attempt at
economy cost him his life, as he fell

FACES

IN the eye that lights to meet us and the face
that smiles TO greet us
Are the shadows Of the future and the impress
Of the past.
And the cheek that in its dawning flushed as rosy
as the morning
Shows the outline Of its beauty as it fades away
at last.
And the little children's faces ma their dimples
the traces
OF the maiden's glowing beauty and Of man
hoods brow OF care,
And the prophecy Of gladness and the shadow Of
the sadness
To the thoughtful eye that gazeth are they
lurking ever there
But the faces that are nearest and the faces that
are dearest
Are the true the tender faces that trust and
loving win;
Then, when comes TO them the shading, when the
roses shall be fading,
Like the vase with light illumined shall we see
the soul within.

UP TO GOV. BLISS
The Railroad AID Valorem Tax Bill
Passed Both Houses
as AMENDED IN CONFERENCE
Telegraph, Telephone and Sleeping
Car Companies Are Excluded From
the Provisions of the AID vaorem
Tax Bill.

Lansing, Mich, May 22.-The ad va
loren bill taxing railroads and other
corporations, as amended by the con-
ference committees, was passed by
both houses yesterday, and the state
tax commission was increased from
three to five members. Both measures
are now up to Gov. Bliss.
With little discussion the house yes
terday afternoon passed the mongrel
ad valorem corporation tax bill, and
the bill to increase the membership
of the state tax commission from three
to five. The house obeyed Senator At
woods pro-corporation dictum as east
ly and unquestionlngly as the house
conference committee had done. Rep
Mccall made a hot speech in opposi-
ton, ridiculing the exclusion of sleep
ing car companies from the bill, but
Farmer Award spoke in favor Of the
measure, and it went through by a
vote of 67 yeas to Il nays.
The senate concurred in the house
amendments to the bill increasing the
tax commission membership from
three to five. Helme voted nay.
The conference committee on the ad
valorem tax bill reported. Senator
Murfin said he was not in favor of the
conference bill, as was well known
but he thought the matter had been
sufficiently discussed ana he moved
the previous question. His motion
prevailed by q to 4, and the bill was
then concurred in by 80 to 1-Helme
Rep. McCallum got through the
house his bill to tax telegraph com
panies per cent and telephone com.
panies, specifically, per cent on their
gross receipts. At present both com.
panies are taxed at the rate of per
cent
Mr.. McCallum estimates that tele.
graph companies taxes will be in
creased from $5,205.23 to $12,16S a
year. Last year telephone companies,
at 8 per cent, paid S39, S52.66 into the
state treasury.
Rep. Gordon and others say the leg.
islators have not been furnished with
telegraph franks through the courtesy
of the telegraph companies, and this
may account somewhat for the fact
that the vote on the bill was 81 to 0.
Rep. McCallum says that today he
will trot out his bill to tax sleeping car
companies at the rate of 3 or 4 per
cent on gross receipts of Michigan
business.
Telegraph, telephone and sleeping
car companies have been excluded
from the provisions of the ad valorem
tax bill.
