A Nasty Practice

A nasty practice is what the Chicago
Inter Ocean calls the pasting of repeated
layers of wall paper, one upon another, thus
covering up the filth and germs of disease
that may be .propagated in the very, alb
sorbent and decaying mass of flour paste,
paper, animal glue, colors, etc.
They give opinions of eminent health Of.
ficers and sanitarians, urging that such
practice should be stopped by legal enact.
ment, and also take occasion to say that
these sanitarians recommend Alabastine
as durable, pure and sanitary coating for
walls
The Inter Ocean says: "This is a very
important question, and, as it costs moth.
ing to avoid this danger, why take any
chances?"
How much OF the alarming spread OF
smallpox and other diseases may be due to
unsanitary wall coverings?

CONTEST is ON

Methodist Preacher ConSults
Wichita Lawyer About
LEGALITY OF ELECTION
Says "Dry" Candidates Have
Not Compromised,

The newly elected officers Of Colvich,
Il appears, will have 70 fight for their
seats, because of the queer contest that
has arisen In that city over the legality
Of the election. The sdhsrents Of the
dry candidates deny that their stand
ard bearers have agreed 70 compro-
mise, to allow the joints 70 run until
10 O'clock at night and 70 close them on
Sundays. They say that II their men
were not legally elected. they are willing
to test their strength at another cleo
ton.
Rev. J. H. Prscht, pastor Of the Meth
odist church at that town, and one OF
the leaders on the dry side, came to
Wichita yesterday and consulted I P.
Campbell about the case. Mr., Campbell
accompanied Rev. Mr. Pracht TO Colwich
last night
To reporter for the Eagle Rev. Mr.
Pracht said:
None Of the ballots cast had the
names Of the candidates printed there
on, and now the adherents OF the wet
ticket tell US that the election was IL
legal. II they had won, the election
would have been legal enough.
A caucus was called several weeks ago
and several OF the prohibitiouisJs at
tended it; that Is, they waited around
about an hour. but no caucus was held.
- day or two before the election some
men came TO me and said they had agreed
on the persons they would support for
city Offices. as they wanted the three
joints in the town TO be closed. No NOM
nations were made formally, but the
word was passed around among our fol-
lowers whom they should support. The
adherents OF the other side did not an
nounce any candidates publicly, but on
election day they wrote the names Of
the men they had agreed to support,
most OF whom we're already IN Office.
1T is true that all the voters wrote
the names of their favorite candidates
on the ballots, which were but pieces Of
paper with the names Of the Offices TO
be filed and a place 70 mark the crosses.
Il is not true that none OF the voters
placed & cross opposite the names Of
the candidates. Some did not, but those
ballots were thronw out
when the votes were counted Il was
found that Charles Zim. the dry can
didate, had been elected by thirteen ma
jority and that the remainder of the
ticket had also been elected
Yesterday our opponents were will
ing that our men should take the Offices.
Wednesday morning, however William
Regan, who had been elected TO the
council on our ticket. told me that the
other side claimed the election was nle-
gal I went down town and found a
good deal OF excitement. / determined
to investigate ths matter and so
came 10 Wichita TO hunt a lawyer.
The statement that our candidates
had agreed 10 4 compromise on the con-
dition that they he allowed TO take Of
fee is false, so far as 7 know. Not a
word to that effect have I heard. If
the election was Illegal. we are willing
20 try again. but we propose TO find out
for ourselves whether It is Illegal or
not"
