The MAYOR and common council have is
sued an order prohibiting the issuance of
permits to connect with the public sewerage
system without special authority until
March 1 next Following the installation
of the sewerage system. the necessity for
increasing the water supply arises. and the
authorities are now having the artesian
wells from which the towns supply Is OBJ
tanned thoroughly overhauled. There is
disposition on the part of the mayor and
common council to purchase a new engine
and pump. During the past spring and
summer over fifty new houses have been
erected in Hyattsvile, and there are now
30 watertakers in town. the water revenue
now being sufficient to place the water
system on self-sustaining basis
1t Is the general impression that the Ie-
cent heavy SHOWS have seriously depleted
the supply of cartridges and rabbits In this
section. Hundreds of rabbits have been
killed within the past week by so-callad
sportsmen who have taken advantage OF
their inability to get out of harms way,
while the birds weakened by a scarcity of
food have been unable to get away from
hawks. etc. Many sportsmen have been
feeding coveys during the severe weather,
but at best the supply of game will be ma
terially depleted. There is a growing sem
timent in favor of placing a tax upon all
dogs in the county. Much of the young
game is destroyed by WORTHLESS ours that
are allowed to run at large during the
spring and summer months.

Dr. Schurman said among other things:
Everybody agrees that 1t is the uncheck-
ed and arbitrary power of monopolies that
has caused an unrest-the formation of so
many gigantic combinations or trusts-that
have increased the cost of the neceSsarics
Of life.
1.-The great railroad combinations are the
breeders of monopoly among the industri ii
trusts. and President Roosevelt voiced the
demand of an outraged public when he ia
vored public regulation to prevent discrimi-
Lation and secure Just and steady rates to
all shippers. When this Is done 1t will be
time to decide whether reforms are neces-

him with being the murderer or Rosa
White, the pretty eighteen-yeaT-olo girl
who was found dead with her head almost
severed from her body Saturday morning.
Stratton was hiding in the woods when cap
tured. but he surrendered without any re-
Sistance.
The autopsy held yesterday revealed the
fact that the Young girl would have become
n mother soon and Stratton is believed to
he the one who accomplished her betrayal
The bloody weapons found near the scene
have heeu traced to Stratton, his initials
even being on the razor which was found
near the dead body.

SAYS. More murders occur in the District

of the European countries: there are more
in Chicago than are reported from India

The heather behave much better in that
respect than people who have the light of

not half as lawless DR.. Doyle makes us
out. The census figures are incomplete,
particularly from the southern and west

the number Of murders by at least five in
order to reach anywhere near the total he
gives.
