threatened to depopulate the city, for
during January and February there
were frequently as high as 100 cases
at time and deaths wero numerous.
The disease is yet in the city, though
the city and state authorities have
adopted stringent measures to eradi-
cate it.

the impure water supplied by the
water company that had caused the
typhoid fever The water company

The justice of the peace for Grants
Pass ranks next to the county Judge
In the amount of business had in his
court and in the difficult aud varied
legal points that are tried by attor-
neys that require the Justice to give
ruling on. 1t is thus an important
matter that the justice have a
thorough knownledge Of the law.
A justice who is not we'll posted on
law Will have many of his cases ap-
pealed to the circuit court that
would have been allowed to stand had
his ruling been based on the provision
of the statute, thus making more liti-
CATION and more court expenses for-the
taxpayers to meet. Should the citi-
zens OF Grants Pass elect G. II.
Clements rs their Justice of the peace
they would have an official who has
good owledge of the law and who
would, thereby be less likely TO en-.
tail needless expense on the taxpayers
and the litigants by his erroneous
rulings than would an inexperienced
man. Mr.. Clements has in the six
months he has held the Office made
a commeudable record for himself in
the discharge of the duties of Justice
Of the peace.

SERVICE AT THE

The Tain prevented a large attend
ance at the union service at the Tab.
ernacle last night. After the shower
had passed quite number assembled
and pleasant and interesting serv.
ice was held. Rev. w. A. Provine
preached on the subject "A False Es-
innate Of character,"usln as his text,
Genesis, I'VE are true men.-we are
no spies,--we are all one mans sons
He spoke first Of the unrepented-of
sin in the hearts of Jacobs sons, that
it had ever continued to act as an
irritant, all ways keeping them in a
suspicious state Of mind and con-
stantly on the defensive. A negative
estimate of character,-"n spies"
was worthless as to valuation, series
of negatives would not foot up into a
positive, it was the Pharasees who
delighted to set forth that they were
not like other men, there was one
character known in the Bible as "Ju-
das not Iscariot," what hts real moral
valuation was is NOT recorded. The
decefying nature of sin Is set forth in
the profession made that they were
true men," since they, unfortunately
were speaking to their own brother.
Joseph though unknown to- them
who too well knew their lack OF man
hood. Lapse of time sometimes per-
suades us that we are, what we really
are not.
The argument as to being "aIT one

cause heredfty must be estimated in
with environment and i'm
iividuality, and second, in this case,
the father Jacob, had no great rec
,rd in his early life Of sufficient moral
lepth to enrich his descendants
With. The only true character must

CARD FROM ELECTION
COMMISSIONERS

Mr.. Editor:
Mr.. G. w. Hayes filed with US today
what purported to be petition, stat
ing that he had been informed that
there was possibly an error in the
counting of the votes in the End ward
and the 4th ward and possibly in the
other wards, but filed no proof of any
errors or misconduct and asking us
to recount the votes Of this district.
Upon the investigation of the law, and
the advice of counsel, we are of the
opinion that our only duty and prov
ince under the law is, ito compile
the returns of the election officers
and to certify the result of the same,
and to deliver to each person elected
a certificate of his election and I'M
der the circumstances we saw no
necessity for a recount of the votes.
