Conner In Water Kills Germs.

In looking 10 the publication of the
water supply, either the local farm sup
.'y or the water for a great city. re-
narkable results are announced from
he application OF a new method OF
destroying micro-organisms in water
which was discovered about a year age
by Drs. Moore and Kellerman, of the
Bureau of Plant Industry at Washing
on. IL consists simply in dissolving a
certain quantity of copper sulphate in
he water 10 be purified. Fortunately
he dilution can be made so large that
no deleterous effects are produced up
IN the water intended for drinking
purposes. One part OF copper sulphate
% eight million parts OF water is the
proportion generally used. and it is
pointed out that, in order 10 obtain
any effect OF copper from such a mix
ture a man would have to drink forty
gallons of the water.
During the latter part of 1904 more
than fifty sources OF water supply in
the United States were treated by this
method with gratifying success. Not
only are dangerous bacteria thus de-
stroyed but the green growths that fire.
Quently choke up small ponds are also
eliminated. Most important of all is
the promise that by this treatment the
germs OF typhoid fever may be entirely
removed from any source of water
supply.
In the case OF a lake or pond the
chemical is applied by suspending bags
filed with copper sulphate over the
side of a boat while the boat is rowed
about. In two or three days the cop
per rs entirely precipitated from the
water. but the beneficial effects OF the
treatment last for weeks or months.
II has been suggested that this dis
covery may raise the question whether,
after all. our mothers were not right
although they did not understand the
scientific aspects OF the matter-in pre-
ferring copper kettles for preparing
many kinds Of food.

Receipts of killing cattle this week
were moderate, altho somewhat better
than last week, when the western run
ceased. Offerings were generally of
native stuff with only few granted
cattle for which there was a good de-
mand. The average quality was fair.
Prices ruled steady. -.
The hog run was fairly liberal, but
below that Of the previous week. The
market was active and offerings gener-
ally of fair quality. In sympathy with
eastern markets there was break in
price Tuesday and Wednesday of 10
cents in each case. On Thursday the
market rallied cents, but on Fri
day the gain was lost. Good stuff was
IN demand all week and found a ready
outlet. The range Of prices remained
narrow.
The stocker and feeder market de-
cllned from the prices of Monday, when
the market was very active. Stockers
and feeders were dull and the offer
llnlgs generally common in quality.
There were few country buyers on the
market at any time. The approaching
holiday season made the market dull. =
Sheep receipts were considerably be-
low the average of a week ago. Prices
ruled about steady with the best days
OF last week until Thursday, when they
were. quoted steady to 1Oc lower. The
offerings were generally fair with a
few punches of choice stuff at top
prices. Feeders were in good demand.
The killing stuff was generally native.
Spring lambs Of choice quality were in
strong demand, bringing 1885 at the
close Of the week.

has been popular to sell Chicago wheat
against purchases in almost every other

that a short interest of phenomenal
proportions has been created. The
stock of wheat here is proportionately
large, but that it has not been burden

interests. We see no reason to think
that this stock of wheat will find an
outlet when we consider that flour pro-
duction from the winter varieties is of
such healthy character. The spring
wheat situa ton is of unquestioned
strength, and we do not hesitatey to

one of the EIko banks to make the
first payment ON November LIST. Bos-
ton and New York capital is behind

be paid for the mines. This property
wal owned about three years ago by
several Eureka parties, but when they
neglected to do their annual assess
ment work the Skaggs Bros. relocated
the ground. 1t was just a good pros
pect when they relocated the property
but in doing the assessment work
they opened up a fine body of copper
ore, and this is said to have been
steadily increasing in quantity and
richness.

Halloween Party.

Wednesday night was Halloween and
the boys of the town improved the op-
portunity to play pranks on the unsus-
pecting. A great many gates were re-
moved and up to this time some are still
missing and probably will never be To-
Gated. Wheels from wagons were also
removed and hid away. That night be-
tween the hours of IL and l o'clock the
alarm of FIRE was sounded by ringing
the fire bells ~arousing a great many peo-
pie from their peaceful slumber. Some
person or persons, not the boys. either,
had built a good sized bonfire in the
street, opposite F. A. Limbaugh's Office
and on looking to that part Of the town,
it looked as though a great FIRE was in
progress. While no damage was &C.
casioned by the blaze, it was the means
Of getting a great many people out OF
bed.
