NOT 4 WISELY DIRECTED CAMPAIGN

With much enthusiasm the people of New-Or-
leans gave up Wednesday TO hOusecleaning. In
the business part of town the stores were closed
and the employees swept and scrubbed, if they
did not garnish, the interiors of those estab-
lshments Meanwhile the excavation of ac-
cumulated dirt from the cutters and the re-
moval of grass and weeds from neglected local-
ties were pushed with vigor. So vast an amount
of material thus dislodged, it is said, that
carts enough could not Immediately be found
TO take it all away to the dumping grounds.
Well, this work is highly laudable, and its
continuation next Sunday is certainly TO be COM
mended. There times when some of the
streets of the Crescent City, especially those
near the river front, are shockingly filthy All
the same, it is NOT quite clear what the crusade
in question has to do with evicting yellow
jack" Cleanliness and sanitation do not now
bear the same intimate relations to each other
that they once did in the minds of experts. If
New-Oreans wants TO get rid of the plague let
her get rid of her mosquitoes. Fumigation and
the elimination or screening of breeding places
are much the best means to employ for that
purpose.

That is beautiful piece of benevolence which
is reported from Albany. The family of the
founder of the firm of John G. Myers & Co. are
under less obligation to provide for the victims
of the recent accident than the contractor
through whose carelessness more than dozen
persons were killed and twice as many besides
obliged to take refuge in local hospitals. To
assume all the expense incident to this unfortu-

charity.

Fall of Old Joe Towser.

There have been white men living among
the Yakima Indians out in Washington
great many years, generally old hunters and
trappers who went into the country and
married Indian wives long before civiliza-
ton crept over the mountains One of
these, old Joe Towser, was celebrated
character He had been hunter, trapper,
miner and scout in his time, was of avarf-
cious and misery disposition and had the
reputation of being very rich. He had
plenty Of horses and cattle, but most or
his wealth was in gold and silver coin,
which he buried in glass jars and bottles
around his farm. Joe could not read, and
the limit of his literary attachments was
to sign his name. This accomplishment
finally led to his destruction, for he was
induced to go on the bond of the sheriff of
the county. It was the first time Joe had
ever signed financial obligation of any
kind. and he did that when he was drunk.
The sheriff proved defaulter for $4,000 or
$4,000 and when Joe learned that he was
expected to make up the deficiency he fled.
No one knew where he went, but from the
tales he told after his return several years
later, when the statute of Limitation was
applicable, it was inferred that he wandered
first over into the Idaho mines, thence to
Colorado and Arizona and as far south as
Mexico. But Joe came back confirmed
drunkard and never worked any more. Oc-
casionally he went hunting, and would be
gone in the woods several days at a time,
with no companion but his dog, but he al
ways returned when his supply of whisky
gave out.
One day he went off on one of these trips
and never came back In a couple of weeks
his dog returned alone, nearly starved. Al
though the poor brute could tell no tales OF
his master, it was assumed that Joe had
met with some misfortune. and a party of
neighbors went out to look for him. The
search was in vain; not even trace of the
old hunter could be found. But when spring
came the mystery was solved. A hunting
party accidentally found Joes body lying
under the shelter of some logs in the noun
tains, wrapped in blankets and raw bear
skin. evidently the hide of an animal he had
killed.
No bones were broken, and there was no
sign on his body of wound, SO 1t Is be-
lieved that he died of pneumonia or COM
gestive chills, to which he had been subject.

BOOKS OPEN TO GARFIELD.
Commissioner Welcomed by ALI the Oil
Trust Legal Talent.

Commissioner Garfield of the bureau of
corporations spent crowded hour yester-
day afternoon with the lawyers of the
Standard OIL Company in New York, prior
to beginning investigation of the trust
and its methods, with especial regard to
the recent developments in Kansas.
The recent report of the bureau of cor
porations on the work of the beef trust
has not been very popular document. as
it shows that organization to be operated
at loss instead of a profit. This report
was made by compiling the reports of
subordinates, and as it has not been very
highly regarded as a piece of trust inves-
tigation Commissioner Garfield has decided
to supervise personally and conduct in
greater part the investigation into the af-
fairs of the Standard Oil trust which has
been ordered.
Mr.. Garfield called at Standard Oil head
quarters by appointment and went at once
to the twelfth floor, where the entire legal
force awaited him. A busy forty-eight
hours had been spent in preparing for his
reception, and there was ready for him a

ford $4,000. Gov. Bulkeiey was elected

senator.
DR.. Smyth was discussing proposed
amendments to the corrupt practices act
in Connecticut and was appealing to the
judiciary committee for more safeguards
for elections in Connecticut. He said he
had been making inquiries in more than
100 towns in Connecticut since the sena-
torial contest, to get information of vio-
lations of the existing corrupt practices
law. He told the committee that it was
the case that money was spent at the
caucuses in considerably more than 100
of the 1913 towns of the state, and that if
he were at liberty to disclose his au-
thority for that statement the members
of the committee would not question it
whatever
He said: IF I add together the sums
credibly reported as so used in about
fifty towns, ranging from $500 up to
$1,000, and more If needed, and If COM
pute therefrom an average for the state,
the amount foots up to 100000. More
than $1,000, to take one instance in
town of 500 voters, is a large pecuniary
cover for small political pot"
Then Dr. Smyth offered for the COM
mittee's consideration an amendment to
the existing law in which provision was
made for competent authority to make
searching inquiry into all reported cases
of political corruption at elections in
Connecticut

He had evidently kept up fire as long as
he could gather fuel; two whisky bottles
were on the ground beside him, empty; his
pipe, half full of ashes, was in his pocket,
together with plenty of tobacco, and he had
taken one of his stockings off of his foot
and tied it around his neck, which is a
common remedy among frontiersmen for
sore throat or bad cold. There were no
signs of food near him, but that did not
signify anything. for the dog would have
eaten 1t and carried off the bones.
1t was considered rather strange that the
body was untouched by animals or birds of
prey, which are plenty In those mountains,
but 1t had not been disturbed since old Joe
had wrapped his blankets around him and
then crawled under the bearskin to protect
his body from an unnatural cold.
Nobody knows where Joes money is
buried-not even his squaw wife, a poor,
miserable creature who was nothing more
than his slave, but she has had sense
enough to hire lawyer to protect her from
the sharks that would like to pillow up
the place in search of the glass jars and
bottles that held old Joe Towser's fortune.
