and Never Walked.
Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo Sept 13.-Iived on this
earth for fourteen years and never
had been able to walk on his feet but
on his knees instead; his left arm
fractured four different times; his left
leg once; his right leg once. Such
is the history Of the troubles of Ben
Brown a fourteen-year-o lad Of this
city who has returned from his sum-
|mer vacation on q farm to have the
left arm set again. While leading a
calf about the yard the young beef
became frightened and suddenly jerked
the arm breaking 1t where it had beer
fractured before. Ben was SO used to
such mishaps that he took it as a mat
ter OF course. Had some such thing
not happened his vacation would not
have been a success. With it ell he is
one Of, the happiest little souls on
earth and is as good as sermon on
happiness wherever he mingles with his
friends. He goes about in wheel
chair when not walking on his knees
He will enter school as soon as his
arm heals.

cheap grades of whisky are being sold
at good prices. Have you any idea how
much whisky could be produced from a
bushel of corn?'
When ignorance of the details of
whisky manufacture were acknowledge

Ions of whisky could be produced from
one bushel of corn.
The cheap sour mash whistles" he
continued, bring from so to so cents a
gallon, SO you can see a bushel of corn
yields at least $3.50 and the expense of
manufacturing is comparatively small.

Baltimore, Md, Sept 9-Grief Of
John d. Rockefeller for his grandson
Jack" enables science TO announce
the discovery of the germ of the infan
tile disease commonly called summer
complaint
Less than a week after little Jack"
died, two years ago, MIR. Rockefeller
offered s fund of 5000. 900 to investi-
gate the disease of children. He asked
DIR. william II. welch of this city to
conduct the inquiry. The investiga.
tion, which has now been crowned
with success, has been conducted this
summer IN the laboratory of tn o
Thomas Wilson sanitarium for child
rem at Mount Wilson, Baltimore coun-
ty. DR.. weloh intrusted the work of
research to two students, Chss. W.
Duyal Of Annapolis and Victor H.
Bssset Of Aledo. Ill Mr.. Basset had
'he honor OF discovering the germ
To Mr.. Duvsl is due the credit Of iso.
lating the organism.
When the searchers announced their
discovery DIR. weloh and DIR. James
II. NJ. Knox verified it. In forty-two
cases out of fifty the specific organism
isolated by Duval was found. The
cases represented every variety OF
summer complaint except cholera in
fantum. In all the organism found
was nearly identical with that which
produces acute dysentery in adults.
DR.. WEIGH and his associates will now
try to find an antitoxin or cure for
the disease.

THE WEATHER.
CHANCE TO GET CLEAR WATER
Fair tonight with cooler in eastern
portion. Wednesday fair.

The general council should think,
hard and we'll before it finally passes
on the proposition to be made the
water company relative to filtra-
tion plant. The Sun is in favor of
a filtration plant and believes a ma
jority of the people are, because il
would be benefit to the entire COM
munity. The city is completely at the
mercy of the water company in this
matter, which may be unpleasant, but
is nevertheless true. The water COM
pany cannot be compelled to put in a
filtration plant II cannot be made to
furnish any clearer or purer water
than it does. As proof of this asser-
ton is the proposition itself to be
made the company by the general
council II the city can force the
water company to put in a filtration
plant or TO furnish better water than
is often furnished, the officials have
been very indifferent in the enforce
ment of the law during the past sew
eral years, because they haven't done
it. And if the city can force the wat
err company to do these things, why
should it be deemed necessary to APP
point a committee TO confer with the
officials of the water company relative
to = proposition to install filtration
apparatus
1t seems plain, therefore, that the
city must persuade the water com
pany to put IN the altering plant. else
why has it never been done? The
people want better and purer water,
and can obtain it only through the
general councils making o proposition
that is acceptable to the water COM
pany. The water company states it
is willing to put in the iiitrstion
plant, bat hasn't the money. As long
as the city has an option TO purchase
the waterworks every five years the
company cannot induce outside capital
to invest, and cannot obtain the neces-
sary money. AL it asks the city to
do is TO release the option so the COM
