The crowd of students brought here
are all from the mechanical department
of the school. Four of them will be
placed at the river pumping station and
the balance will go to the sewage dis
posal plant and be on duty there. Water
pumped from Linn creek will be used
largely in making the test of the
pumps. The analysis of the water after
it has passed thru the plant will not be
be made at this time.
If the plant and machinery stand the
test satisfactorily both will be accepted
by the sewage committee. Professor
Pierson, of Grand Rapids, Mich, who
was the consulting engineer during the
course of construction, also arrived in
the city today and will remain until the
test is completed.

over disease, covering a period of four
teen long, weary weeks Lee A. Bates,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles A. Bates,
of 20s North Third avenue, died this
morning at 1890 o'clock. The lad was
taken i'll just fourteen weeks ago to-
morrow With typhoid fever. Four weeks
he battled with that disease, and for
days lowered between life and death.
Conquering, finally, the immediate
trouble, and overcoming the fever, he
was about considered out of danger
when symptoms resembling tuberculos-
is appeared. 1t was not long before his
physicians became thoroughly con-
WINGED that tuberculosis had become
deeply seated in the tissues of the brain
and spine, and recovery, since that
time, has not been even hoped for. The
immediate cause of Master Bates death
was apoplexy, which he suffered about
