The Training Of Future Citisens In
Municipal Cleanliness.
"Dirt and degeneracy" are quite q
truly synonymous as cleanliness and
godliness. and streets as well as
homes reflect the character Of their oc.
cupants, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
In Vienna il person throws a torn
envelope into the street he is arrested
and fined. In Paris public opinion has
been educated to believe that a street
should be as immaculate as a house.
In all the cities Of Holland the streets
are not only kept free from litter Of
any sort. but scrubbed and garnished
- well. Ordinances for the preserva.
tion Of streets and highways are not
tyranny. They are for cleanliness and
godlIness.

thoughtful women for civic bettermeni

CLEAN STREETS.


Good Health and Good Drainage In.
separable Conditions.
Clean streets are one of the main
factors in the reduction Of disease.
The first duty of Il town is to provide
for the health of the residents-that is,
% far as it is possible to do sO-by pre-
ventive measures. Cleanliness is next
to godliness. and pure water and a sci
entific sewerage system are indispensa-
bic aids to the physical and moral wei
fare of the community. In far too
many localities is the question of drain
age left to take care of itself, and it
remains perpetual menace to the pub
lie health, sooner or later to break
forth with dire results.
Money judiciOusly spent in this work
under the supervision of a competent
engineer is safe and sure investment
that will be returned with compound in
terest. In almost every town there IL
room for improvement in this direction.
and each business man and household.
er owes 1t to himself and his neighbor
to help along this necessary work.
A system of drainage should embrace
not only the removal of storm water
which falls upon the streets, but also
the water from sinks, closets. factories
and other sources. All such should have
direct connection with sewers having
an outlet In the nearest watercOurse.
The street cutters should be kept free
from rubbish and have such perfect
grade that no water will find lOdgment
along the streets OH either side.

The development Of the diversified

following from the OaSes Republican:

was a great horse market; here it was
that all the worn-Out dray, stage and

was in good demand at three per

Experiments that have been made
with the raising of sugar beets in the
western part of North Dakota and the
eastern part of Montana show that the
beets raised in this soil produce a
greater percentage OF saccharine mat
ter than those grown in any part OF
the United States. There are great
possibilities in the raising of sugar
beets in this section and 1t is likely
that some experiments will be made in
the near future. No business offers

Detail and excess of description are more
unpopular to-day than ever before. There
is more action in life and more action is
demanded In fiction. Only In such a book
as, for instance. "Salammbo.' by Flaubert,
where all the detailed description sets off
one stroke of ramatic genius and makes
a background for it, is it northumberland
how few people are there who will trou-
BILE to wade through the detail of 'Sa-
ammbo in order to enjoy the story as
a whole? THE Spells of Empire is an
other piece of historical fiction dealing with
the Spanish Inqu!sition and the splendor of
Mexico i'm the time of Montezuma-a time
that. for the purpose of fiction. corresponds
in Mexico with our colonial period. The
background is rich and ~colorful as an
Oriental rug, an almost ideal Western
setting for romance. The conquest of Mex-
ico by the adventurous Spaniards is yividIy
described, but the description and romance
are out of all proportion to the action.
Talking about romance and writing active
convincing romance are two different
things. 1t would have been better for this
book IL its author had not also been the
literary parent of a Constitutional History
of the United States" and of other serious
volumes. Cortez plays a part in the story
and the love OF his follower. Juan Estoyai

Vance Thompson Is an American with a
monocle and French proclivities. His writ
ings have Appropriated the ideal that the
Criterion, when it was at it's best. strove
for. He was a frequent contributor of
short stories and essays to that periodical.
''Spinners of Life" is such a story as might
be expected from his pen. 1t is a story of
New York. with a cosmopolitan. or more
exactly, a French flavor. 1t would be an
injustice to admirers of Mr.. Thompson who
are prospective readers of this work to
outline the plot and discover the action
and d~enouement. Its mystical and e~soteric
interest is based on the quotation from
Rousseau: IF In order that you might
inherit a good fortune from a Mandarin,
living in some far away China, whom you
had never seen nor heard of, II were
necessary for you merely to touch a spot
the Mandarin" The story is so constructed
that even a partial disclosure would lessen
the interest. A riddle is no longer a riddle
when one knows the answer. This book
has the elements Of cleverness, brilliancy
and surprising originality that are
work. While this form of fiction is not
uncommon in France. it is usedf there
mostly In short stories and novelties. The
development of a full-grown novel on a
theme of this kind is noteworthy even in an
American who has spent much time tjn
Paris. Mr.. Thompson's story has m
force and imaginative insight and is enter
reader who includes this in his outing
collection will have something different

THE MARKET.
A Political Feud That Has Kept 1t
from Being Profitable.

from Being Profitable.
Shakespeare says that 'the evil thai men
do lives after them.' In connection with
the history Of the South Side market, which
is located on Shelby street, just below
Prospect, there is an exceedingly interest
ing bit of political tradition which those
who are familiar with the market say ac-
counts for it's failure to expand and become
the dominant feature in this community,
as the East market has lone for it's
locality.
Owing to the rapid growth Of this section
OF the city and the constantly increasing
demand for such a thing the South Side
market was established on Aug. %. 1899.
An agreement with the street car COM
pany, to the effect that the old Shelby
street barns were to be arranged for the
BUILDING and 5000 expended in remodeling
attractive and ServiCeable market house,
was the manner of its inception.
w hne f stalls frs Wern ma ST,a a was au SsII t5 sna

months business was good, and the total
receipts amounted to s721. 20, while the ex-
tbime' a w very s sreditable showine at the be.
ginning. Market days at the South Side
are Monday afternoon, Wednesday morn
ing, Friday forenoon and Saturday all day
According to residents of the South
Side near the vicinity of the market the
following history will explain the peril
nence of the opening sentence of this ar
ticle and give those who are not acquaint-
ed with the market an idea of its political
history. George Dudley, who was coun-
Gilman from the Thirteenth ward at the
time of the opening of the market. which
was during the administration of Thomas
Taggart in 1879, was made market master
on petition Of a large number of constit-
uents. This position he held until the
were again victorious, and Dudley was
given a place in the office of the con-
troller. Joe Wagner, assistant at the East
market, succeeded in charge. Later Dud-
ley was removed from the controllers Of
flee, and it was then that the fate of the
South Side market was sealed. 1t is said
hat those Of the Dudley fold in the neigh
borhood of the market then and there re-
solved to never patronize it again. And
so even to this day the housewives of the
vicinity may be seen most any market day
riding past the place to the East market,
thus keeping alive the old political feud
that originated in 1889.
However, during the past two years there
has been a marked Improvement under FL
lot T.. Oburn, and it is believed the ulti-
mate success of the enterprise, which is one
of great advantages TO the south part
of the city, is assured. Saturday night
now sees the entire stock of the market
stand sold out, and 1t is predicted that in
a short time it will be on a sound business
basis.
