It Is not commonly known by stu
dents Of American history that during
the anti-slavery agitation a lot of good
Citizens of Massachusetts became so
Disguised that they made an attempt
for q division of the Union. This was
IN 1S45, long before there was any Sc
cession movement in the South. The
son Of Stephen A. Douglass of Illinois
has lust found among his fathers
papers a document bearing upon this
interesting chapter which has not
found place in the histories. 1t Is a
petition addressed tor Congress. and
was presented in the House by John
Quincy Adams. and was referred to the
committee on the judiciary February 8,
1S45. The signers describe themselves
as Inhabitants OF the state Of Massa-
chusetta" They set forth at length
their. adherence of slavery and their
loathing for the Constitution. which
they denounce as a covenant with
sdsath and an. agreement with hell
Tney disclaim citizenship, and they ask
Congress to- take Immediately meas
uiftes, ~ national convention or other
wise, Tor dissolving the Union Of these
tststes." Thirty-five names are signed

Twelve million dollars increase in
one years valuation is doing very well
for Maine. But wait until we begin to
assess poultry and the asking price of
real estate and pretty girls and cats and
many other objects in which we take
delight, and then see how our valuation
will jump. Why, we know of dozen
nice girls. at least, any one of whom is
worth more than the whole State.

IMPROVE DRAINAGE
OVER Is Per CENT
Cleaning of Chisholm VIII
Be Great Thing for City.
WILL ABATE AWFUL STENCIL
Conditions VIII Be Improved
by Removing distractions.

The men who come TO Wichita and are
found or the streets without visible
means Of support" are given employment
cleaning out Chisholm creew and Engin-
Ger IIiersted, who is making plans for a
storm water sewer system stated yester-
day that the work the men are doing
Will increase the drainage Of this city
twenty-five per cent.
Every man in the police follower is
kept at work until their fines are worke
out at fifty cents a day and the only
cost is that Of feeding the prisoners.
Chisholm creek has never been thor
oughly cleaned and every spring a great
deal Of land has been damaged by the
overflow. The city employs a team to
haul logs out Of the river bed. Every
thing IS being cleaned up that would in
any way impede tie natural flow Of the
water. Snags were pulled out with
block and tackle. trees are being cut
from the river bed ard those that hang
over the water are trimmed. The drift
wood that~has collected on trees and in
bends Of the river is being taken out.
The woTkmen have found that in a
number Of places the river has been
practically damned by the drift In a
number of instances dead animals of all
kinds were found and removed. There
IS all manner of filth in the creek bed
and the beard Of health has often con-
sidered ways to improve the sanitary
conditions which all doctors claimed were
very detrimental to the health of PEG
pie living along the creek. The stencil
has Been something awful at times.
The workmen are going north from
Douglas avenue at present and VIII con
tinue to work in that direction until
the city limits are reached. They VIII
work south of the river. The creek
presents a very different appearance from
that Of a few weeks ago. The trees are
trimmed underbrush taken away and
the snags and sections Of trees piled on
the bank. The PEOPLE living along the
river got the wood taken from the
creek
The people along the creek south Of
Douglas avenue have been complaining
some about the dead animals and other
filth which has been allowed to float down
the river when the obstructions We're
removed It was stated yesterday that
this would be remedied and that every
part Of the river would be CLEANED out
as quickly as possible ht viii require
more than a -nnoi,th- to- finish cleaning
the creek with the Limb "a force at the
disposal of the officers.
Chisholm creek has always teen a
striker owing to the great amount of
drift which caught animals and caused
The water to stagnate. It is believed
that if the water is sivea free course
that all matter viii be carried away.
The drainage of this city win be i'm
proved twenty-five per cent and the sani-
tary conditions a great deal more than
that Hereafter the creek VIII be
cleaned every year and it IS believed
that this win prevent such great damage
to property as has been the case in
former years.
