Kansas City, rs, Diaries Said
to Be I'm Bad Condition.
NO BOARD OF HEALTH.
City Doing Without a Dairy
and Market Inspector.
Typhoid Fever LIS Traced to I'm
pure Drink Fluids.

Kansas City, Kan, Oct. 1.-THE filthy
condition of some of the dairies which
supply milk to the people here, the bad
water and lack of proper sanitary regu-
lations, have caused several physicians
and veterinary surgeons to again raise
the question of the necessity of estab-
fishing a board of health, and also of
providing for the appointment of
dairy and market inspector.
This city is probably the only city of
it's size in the United States which has
no board of health or a dairy and mar
ket inspector. The physicians say that
much of the typhoid fever and other
sickness is caused from the bad water
and milk supplied the people in that
city. DR.. T. w. Hadley, veterinary
surgeon, who has been practicing here
for several years, is familiar with the
condition of some of the diaries there.
''Some of the diaries are so filthy as
to make the milk wholly unfit for any
use,'' said DIR. Hadley. THE reason for
this condition is that the city has no
regulations by which the people can be
protected from such INSCRIPTIONS
dairymen. The diaries have not been
inspected for four years and 1T can east
ly be imagined in what condition some
of them are They are breeders of the
typhoid fever germ and endanger the
health of the community. Something
ought TO De done Dy the CITY dI once 10
improve these conditions. 1t will have
to be done some time and the sooner
the better"
The new city charter act passed by
the last Kansas legislature does not
provide specially for the establishment
of a board of health or dairy and mar
ket inspector, but it authorizes the
mayor and city council to establish any
offices that may be deemed necessary
Under this provision it is said that the
mayor and council have the right to
make regulations and establish offices
looking to the protection of the public
health. The matter has been urged at
different times, but has never gone so
far as the introduction of an ordi-
nance in the city council.
The condition has become so serious
and the complaints of impure milk SO
frequent that the Merchants associa-
ton has decided to use only bottled
cream and milk which has been pas
teurized and guaranteed to be pure.
The grocerymen have no recourse
against the dairymen who sell them
impure milk

CHASE THE NEGROES OUT.
White Pupils at Emporia on the
19i-''A- - - WaPpath.

Emporia. Kan, Oct. ia race war
has occurred at the Third ward school
in this city. The trouble has been
brewing for several days. but was
wholly unexpected by the teachers. Ac-
cording to the stories told by the pupils,
one of the white boys in the school has
been seated among a number of negro
pupils. He complained of this to the
teacher and was told that he had to
sit where he was put. The boys of the
school talked the situation over among
themselves and decided to administer
homemade remedy. Broomsticks with
knife blades and sharp nails in the ends
were hidden around the school house
and grounds.
Friday at recess the boys quietly
produced their weapons and ordered the
negroes off the grounds and enforced
their commands with free use of the
improvised weapons. AT first a few of
the colored lads were disposed to fight,
but when they discovered that it was a
united effort on the part of the white
pupils they decided to make the best of
it and went home.

Eiawatha, Kas., Oct. 17.-Upon the
request of several Brown county farm-

sent men here to make a soil survey
of this county. ]. L. Burgess is at the
head of the party and the survey is
in progress. The object is to solve
all problems that in any way relate
to the production of crops. The sur
veying party will make an examina-
ton of the soil of the county, and,
from the results of their Investigations,
will prepare tables showing what
parts of the soil are best for some
certain kinds of grain; where corn,
wheat or other products can best be
raised with the least labor, or point
out methods for the reclamation of
land that is becoming depleted.

gains. Nebraska put in four substi-

even then Creighton could make no
Roadway in advancing the ball, Ne
braska's goal line not being once en-

the infection of several penalties for
off-side play by Nebraska kept the
Cornhuskers guessing during the
greater part of the first half, but Ben

Benedict'S interference, sprinted for
forty yards and crossed Creighton's

In the second half Nebraska piled

yards, both by Bender. constituting
the stellar features.
