Adams. whose home is near Chin

While about the barn of his son, he
fell. sustaining IL cash on his nose. He
did not appear TO be any the worse as
Il consequence of the accident, except
that he was somewhat nervous. a few
days later, he came to CarDondale to
visit ut the Stone residence. Saturday
lie was taken sick and on Monday his

THE HOOK AND LADDER.
Columbia Company Abandon 1t and
Another Company Organized.

The hook and ladder project, which
was first taken up and developed by the
Columbia hose company, was aban-
doned by the organization at q meeting
held in the hose house last night. The
matter was thoroughly canvassed and
the Judgment was unanimous that there
might be Il possibility of friction with
both appliances under the one roof.
Sooner than to interfere III any way
with the success of the project, the
Columbia members rightly decided 10
leave the new organization to be formed
along Independent lines. President Boy
Ian, of the company afterwards called
sunday afternoon, TO consider some
thing else that can be dealt with With
out amy confusion and which will be OF
immeasureably better benefit TO the
company and community than Il hook

In the meantime the hook and ladder
project was taken up by Abe l.. Sahm.

movement. 1t was understood that the

TO THE PUBLIC.
Board of Health Issues Warning
Through Secretary Shepherd.


The following notice to the public
which was given out at Monday nights
meeting OF the board Of health was in
advertently crowded out of yesterdays
issue. The notice, which is anent the
present so-called epidemic in Carbon
dale, reads:
To the General Public: The city is
almost entirely free from contagious dis
eases at the present time, and while
there is about the normal amount Of
other sickness which is usually eXper-
fenced this time of the year, it is thought
that conditions could he improved to q
great extent If every one would take a
personal interest in the matter and clean
up and have removed all garden rubbish,
ashes, etc, that may have accumula ted
on their premises. The unusual fall of
rain that We have had during the past
summer has no doubt had a tendency to
make unSanitary the heaps of refuse that
have been standing for any great length
of time: and while there is no great
cause for anxiety from that source dur
ing the winter months. when the weather
stays cold. vet If there should be u con-
tinued open winter. the effect would be
about the same as during the summer
months: therefcr re. it is best to be on the
safe side, and You are asked to cooper
ate TO that end. Start today.
All rubbish that is taken away now
will be just so much less to be disposed
of next spring, when a vigorous crusade
Will be made TO have the city given a
thorough housecleaning from top to bot
tom, so that the chances for diseases
springng from that source will be re-
duced to minimum.
Do not wait to be asked. but take a
personal interest in this, and see IL we
cannot make Carbondalc one of the
healthiest cities In the state.
Yours truly,
r. NJ Shepherd.
