Typhoid fever deaths in New York
State numbered 1854 during 1905,
according to the report of Dir. Eugene
H. Porter, State Commissioner OF
Health. DR.. Porter says that it is
no exaggeration to attribute almost
every one of these deaths to infected
water. While there may be some
doubts as to this statement. unques-
tionably many OF the deaths were SO
caused, and there is no doubht that
his recommendations for a better
sanitary control of the potable water
Of the State should be needed. He
re- ommends legislation providing
that all plans for public water sup
plies be approved by the State Com
missioner of Health, and also to Sc

plies"

Alcohol is used in the manufacture
of transparent soap, as solvent for
clarifying. Transparent soap is made
by mixing fat and soda to form soap
mixture in the usual manner. AL
cohol is then added and an emul-
sion formed by violent agitation, thus
bringing the alcohol into contact
with every particle of soap. The al
cohol is then allowed to evaporate
and the now transparent soap is run
into molds and pressed into the
shapes in which it is sold.

THE ORDER IS RECALLED
NO PETIT JURY MONDAY
On Account of the Grand Jury Con-
vening Next Week, the Petit Jury
Will Not Be Used-Hammond Case
Postponed for Time.

The order issued by Judge Fox,
summoning the members of the petit
jury for next Monday has been re-
called, and the petit jury will not be
needed again until after the grand
jury, in it's special session makes it's
report. In the meantime, the case of
Charles Hammond, Popcorn Charley,
will be continued indefinitely. Ham
mond's case was to have come up next
Monday morning.
The recalling of the grand jury is
causing much speculation and it is
generally believed that it is for the
purpose of Investigating the alleged
lax conditions at the County Jail
which permitted John Locke to make
his escape. Charges have been pub
licly made against Sheriff Smith and it
is believed that he will be given a
change to answer these charges be-
fore the grand jury in it's special SEES
sion.
The case of Mrs. Locke has been
turned over to the grand jury, as it is
thought that while that body is in ses-
sion, it will also look into the matter
of the assault of a small boy by Jo-
seph Jones, colored man, who Is now
under arrest.

In the circuit court yesterday morn

his flight relieved him of this task.

TRAIN RUNS OVER RIG
Green Bay Train Runs Over
Buggy at Royalton Crossing
and Woman is Quite Badly
Hurt.

The passengers on the Green Bay
excursion train Sunday were given
quite shock on their return to this
city on the evening train. Near
Royalton crossing, few miles this
side of New London, the train ran
into carriage containing man and
woman, dcmOIishing the vehicle. and
quite badly injuring both the occu-
pants.
1t seems the driver of the RIG did
not see the train coming. or else
undertook to get across before it
reached the crossing, and was deceived
by the darkness in Judging the dis
tance. The horse was across the
track, and therefore was uniniured,
but the buggy being fairly on the
same was caught by the cow catcher
and tossed into the air, throwing the
man and woman several feet away.
When the injured parties were ex-
amined it was found that while death
was not likely to result from the
injury sustained, both were quite
badly cut and bruised about the head
and shoulders.
We have been unable to ascertain
the names of the parties injured but
it is supposed that they were farmer
residents in the neighbOrhood of
ROYaltOn.

for supper, the girls at her home be-
gan to search for her, and immediately
ielephoned tneir brother in this CITY.
The neighbors joined in the search,
but up till dark no trace was found of

began to tract the cane marks lead
ing from the house at this time, and
it was discovered that they lead to
the river, where the old ladies hat
and shoes were found. The dragging
of the river was Immediately begun,
but it was not until 10 O'Clock Sun

lodged in the roots OF an old tree, on
an island down the river.

Bauman has made many friends dur

time will come later. After he has
lived in the county for another two
years and then concludes to become a
candidate again, we predict his
nomination. He has many strong
qualities and is a young man who will
have to be reckOned with in politics. "
