miles above. on the Ohio River.
THE Feoeral Government appropriated
81. .5O0Oo0 for a filtration plant at Wash
ington. d. c., on account of a deadly
epidemic OF typhoid at the national capi-
tai that was caused by the sewage of
Cumberland. sixty miles above. on the
Potomac River.
MUCH TYPHOID HERE
81 venture the assertion that there are
to-day between so and 1000 cases of
typhoid fever in st. Louis, and there is
no doubt but that pollution of the water
supply by the sewage OF Chicago is re-
sponsible for them.
The newspapers of the city should let
this fact be known. and warn the peo-
pie against the danger of drinking the
polluted water. 1t is a menace to the
health of whatever part of the Missis-
sippi Valley the Mississippi River touches
and a crime which the United States Su-
preme Court will. 1 believe, put a stop
to when the case comes up
THE opinion OF the court in the case
now pending will be the most important
and most voluminous ever handed down
upon a question of sanitation, and it will
practically settle the law OF the civilized
world on the point involved, as the tri-
bunal that viii try 1t is recognized as the

do not, however. think that the defense
will be able to get any respectable expert
on sanitary science to testify that the
water of the Mississippi is not rendered
poisonous by the Chicago Drainage Ca
nal Company.
CHICAGO'S ACTION CRIMINAL
This is the first time in the history Of
this country, or any other that legal
test has ever been made to determine the
question Of whether civilization should
not absolutely prohibit the turning of sew
age into water that is used for human
consumption.
1.-The case is attracting universal atten-
tion. We have received letters from ev-
cry city IN the world that has a sanitary
problem asking that copy of the testi-
mony taken in the case be sent the au-
thorities. This. of course, cannot be done.
testimony will be printed. however. and
1t will I'LL fifteen large volumes.
''The expense of the litigation has al
ready been enormous. and will be more
Chicago has expended s15oooo and the
State of Missouri has expended a25,0oo,
but the money is well spent. 1 think
there is no shadow of doubt that the Su-
preme Court, when the case reaches there,
and that will probably not be before next
winter, will sustain the injunction asked
by the State Of Missouri and the city OF
ST. Louis. and stop the flow of disease
from Chicago to this city.
I'VE ought also to take broad grounds
on this question Of turning sewage into
running water. ST. Louis sewage affects
in a degree ali towns and cities below it
1 hope soon to see the time when such
refuse will be incinerated. as it is in some
Of the European cities.
Science has demonstrated beyond a
doubt that running water, far from free
ing itself OF diseased germs and being
purified by the flow, Is most active In
Transporting it from one part Of the coun-
try to another, and has shown clearly the
effect of sewage upon the death rate from
typhoid fever.
THE best illustration OF this is in the
little town Of Niagara Falls The water
there, as 1t plunges over the immense
rocks, looks absolutely pure. but IT is
death-dealing. because the sewage OF the
city OF Buffalo is dumped into the Niagara
River only half mile above the town
