Disease Germs in Ice.

1t is a well known fact that many
cases Of typhoid fever and other
malignant diseases have been traced
to the use of ice that contained the
disease germs. But many people do
not know that great deal of ar
tIfictal ice is made of distilled water
and conta5nSno disease germs. All
the ice msde by the Waxahachie
Ice Works is from distilled artesian
water Is absolutely pure, and free
from mineral substances and dis
ease germs. There is no risk in
using It. A.

time for departure at last came, and the
good byes which were said were linger-

ROBERT DUNN SAYS
IT WILL NOT PASS.
He Considers That Blaine'S Interior
Motive Irrigation Bill Will Not
Become a Law.

Representative kobt. Dunn left Mon
day morning for the stormy scenes at
the state capital and with him he carried
the resolutions adopted by the citizens
mass meeting Saturday afternoon de-
nouncing any efforts made by the Wash
ington state legislature to pass laws in
imical to the best good for the people in
this valley.
Mr.. Dunn was interviewed by a re-
porter for THE HERALD, and when asked
a point blank question as to whether or
not he thought the Blaine bill would
pass both houses, he answered in the
negative. at wouldn't surprise me,
however, to see the measure pass the
house," said Mr.. Dunn, "but in view of
the unanimous opposition from this Sec
ton of the country | have hopes that
the senate will fail to endorse the senti-
ment of the representatives" MIR.
Dunn was then asked his opinion regard
ing the possible action of the legislature
with reference to the Horticultural
unions commission bill requiring men
engaged in the commission business to
put up 5000 bond for protection to
the farmer. He thought this bill would
also be killed in the senate and possibly
in the house.
He thought the governor would en-
dorse the action of the legislature max
ing all gambling in the state a felony.

FRUIT GROWERS UNION
ELECT new MANAGER.
L. b. kinyOn Is Chosen Unanimously
bv the Members at Monday
Afternoons Session.

The quarterly meeting of the Horti-
cultural Union was held Monday after
noon as per appointed time and officers
for the ensuing year were elected. All
the old officers were reelected with the
exception of r. o. Bacon, who was
chosen vice-president.
The names of those elected are: W.
l.. Wright, president; R. o. Bacon, vice
president; j. M. Brown, secretary; f.
Remy, treasurer; L. B. Kinyon, man
ager and trustee.
Orlando Beck rendered his resignation
as one of the trustees, but the union
would not accept it. Mr.. Beck gave as
his reason for wishing to withdraw that
from now until the middle of summer
he would be the busiest man in Yakima
county and feared he might neglect to
fulfil the duties incumbent upon him as
trustee.
President Wright, who represented
the Yakima Union at Olympia last
week reported that together with other
union representatives from over the
state, some favora BILE work with the
legislators as a result OF the
trip had been accomplished. He
said the horticultural bill had passed
the senate and would likely pass the
house. The bill requiring commission
men to put up 5000 bond had not
yet been introduced, and was in the
hands of the attorney general for cor
rection.
A good many of the union members
have not yet ordered their spraying ma
terial for spring and in view of this fact
the secretary was authorized to request
bids from the different houses in town
handling the stuff after first ascertain
ing the amount necessary.
The new constitution was revised, by
laws adopted and the quarterly assess
ment declared due, the members liqui-
dating in the amount of 81 per capita
All the stock that was outstanding was
taken by the members after adjourn
ment. The association is now in fine
working order and ready to begin the
next seasons business, which it is ex-
pected will even double the flattering
past years results.

MORAL AWAKENING NEEDED.

Judge VIM. Poindextsr, Of Gle
burne, In q charge to bis grand jury
convened to Investigate the horrible
murder of q negro woman by her
husband, took occasion to direct at
tention to the violation Of certain
moral and statutory laws which re-
suit in much crime. In part he
said:
"If you will look beneath the sur
face for the real cause, l am sure
the tragedy you are called on TO in
vestigate will be traeeabIe to an
open violation of the statutes in
tended and designed for the protec-
ton of public morals and the sane
tlty and integrity of the home.
81 am satisfied that sixty per cent
of the felouies of a homicidal ma
ture, coming under my observation
in the last three years, have haF
their origin in a violation of somN
one of these laws. The social fab
rio in this respect seems to be al
most lettering on its foundation.
The negro population seem to have
absolutely no regard for these re-
strictions and laws and in many in
stances the whites are as highly hon
ored in the breach as in their OBJ
servance. There was a time
when there was as high a demand
for clean, moral, upright and fear
less local officers-men who are
fully awake to the duty of detecting
and experimenting those living adul-
ferrous and incestuous lives. know
these crimes are hard to detect, but
l also know that It is sometimes
harder TO summon sufficient cour-
age to apprehend and expose them
when detected. We all know that
for some cause this class of crime
is on the increase to an alarming
degree. | have observed that when
a divorce is sought on the ground
of infidelitv to the marriage VOW,
the proof is always at hand This
TO my mind is very strong evidence
that there is a sad want of moral
courage to expose these crimes
when they are discovered. 1t too
often happens that for some motive
or reason not disclosed, these crimes
though discovered and known, are
condoned, or covered up, and al
lowed to slumber until as a legiti-
mate result some public sensation
growing cut Of some crime com
mitted, such as you are called on
to investigate, brings the fact TO
view"
