Middle Ages Sanitation.

Greeks and Romans paid special att

rance and brutal prejudice prevailed,
and this was the most insanitary Pc
riod in history. Most European towns
were built compactly and surrounded
by walls. The streets were narrow and
winding and light and air were ex-
cluded The accumulation Of filth WAS,
frightful. Stables and houses
close neighbors. The dead wereR

Keeping. Since his arrest he had been
confined in the city Jail. Every effort
has been made by the officers to keep
the fact of his detention a secret.
With two others, who were also ar
rested on suspicion, he was tried in the
city court on the charge of vagrancy.
He was convicted and sentenced to If
Teen days imprisonment. During that
time the officers will attempt to secure
more conclusive evidence of his guilt
in connection with the band of hold

other members of the gang are from.
He insists that he had no connection

DYNAMITE IN A ROOM
Considerable Excitement Caused
by Three Sticks Being Left
at Albany Hotel.

The finding of three sticks Of dyna-
mite in a room of the Albany hotel at
the Rio Grande depot the night Of the
hold-up of MorrisOn's store, caused con-
siderable apprehension among the hotel
people, and for a time stirred up the
police
A stranger visited the hotel during
the day and engaged the foom. He
went away soon afterward, and has nor
been seen since When an employe of
the hotel entered the room the night
after it had been engaged. he found
three sticks of dynamite lying on the
floor. He notified the proprietor. There
was considerable excitement for while
lest the hotel might be blown into thin
air. Finally some one mustered up
courage enough to pick up the sticks
and carefully deposit them ia the back
yard. They were afterward turned over
TO the police, when the story of the
stranger was told them
The police We're at first inclined to
the belief that the stranger contem-
plated making some illegal use of the
explosive, and an officer was kept at
the hotel to capture the owner of the
dynamite should he return. He has
not, however. and now the officers are
of the opinion that he was some miner
who had brought the explosive with
him from the mine. However. they are
watching out for him. and if he is
caught, he will be made TO explain his
action in leaving such a dangerous
amount of the stuff in a hotel.
