Bayou Carlin Canal work would

Kemper, Civil Engineer, who
surveyed and superinteded the
construction Of the work, accom-
panied by a few Of our prominent
citizens and numbers of the local

upon was the 10Th inst.

Darkness Prevails.

On Wednesday night the town

have 10 50 remain for another
week or ten days. The north out
er wall of the boiler furnace gave
away and fell The firing was then
shifted to the south boiler, but ita
walls, side and rear, followed in a
collapse IN a few hours later
Fortunately the boilers were OF
that pattern which are suspended
from two sets Of double ] beans
and were not effected by the fal
ing Of the old burnt ont walls.
This trouble has been appre
hended for some time and was IN Il
measure anticipated. A portable
boiler was provided some time ago
put in position and connected mp
ready for a moments notice when
needed. This relief boiler is now
supplying the energy that keeps
the water preassnre up to STAND
ard on the mans.
Mr. Eugene Guillot, with a large
crew of wOrkmen, cleared away
the debris. and by yesterday morn
ing had the new walls under way.
They will have to stand several
days after cOmpl elton IN order to
dry ont, before it will be safe to
ubject them to the terrific heat
Of the oil burners.
The old furnaces were bn'lt
about FIVE years ago, by the contract
ore Who built them for soft coal
Later conditions made 1t practicable
to change to fuel oil. The OIL tire,
it is thought, has fastened the dis
emigration Of the furnace walls

clearly to be seem, that the materials

SUING LIQUOR DEALERS :

great deal of interest will follow
the suits for damages, aggregatfng
$4,000, that have been started in the
district court of Shawnee county
against the brewing firms, the alleged
local liquor dealers and others who are
supposed to have had something to do
with furnishing the liquor that resulted
in the murder of Thomas Bafr bv.
Oliver Smith in a North Topeka. Joint
some time ago
It has become a settled principle in
law that an individual who robs an
other of his manhood and his moral
power by means of Intoxicating Iio,1or
can be held for damages resulting
therefrom. Cases of this kind in Illinois
have been noted in these columns. and
not long ago the supreme court Of
Kansas held that an Atchison brewing
firm was liable for damages to the
family of man murdered in a drunk
en- quarrel which was induced bv beer
procured from this Atchison brewery
Suits of this character are becoming
more or less common. but each is dif-
ferent IN Its details. In the one inst
fled in this county. the plaintiffs are
the members OF the family of the muir
derer, who are not only deprived of
the support Of husband and father
who is serving life sentence in prison,
but who are also branded as the wife
and children Of felon.
In Wyandotte county a suit has just
been started in which the children Of a
man who has become an habituaI
drunkard ask $4,000 damages from
the jointists who. they allege, are re-
sponsible for the fathers downfall.
A suit Of still a different nature is
pending in Nemaha county. where the
widow Of man who was not implf-
Gated in q joint fight was struck and
killed by bullet fred during the fight
This woman sues the mayor and coun-
cilmen Of the town for damages be-
cause they allowed the joint to run in
violation Of law.

The Daily Bath.


witty woman. the president of a
college for women. said once that the
world may be divided into two classes
those who bathe daily and those
who do not. This division can be
made, Of course. just as any other
separation of one class from another,
but it should not be made in dispar-
agement of those who do not take the
morning tub
The daily cool or cold bath is an
excellent institution. promotive Of
cleanliness, health, vigor. and a feeling
akin to dislike for those who do not
take it; but it is not an absolute neces-
sity, even for cleanliness. It is not
possible to lay down any rules of
hygiene which are of universal appli-
cation without modification. The best
that can be done is to treat of the aver
age person, and those above or below
this average must make notifications
in one or the other direction to suit the
individual needs. This is the case with
the morning bath.
For the average person in average
health, a daily bath in cool water is of
the greatest value for both health and
cleanliness. For the latter a warm
bath Is often said to be necessary, but
this Is not SO ordinarily. One who
bathes every morning. soaping the
body well before stepping into th@ tub
on say two mornings of the week, has
no need for the Saturday night scrub
in hot water. The daily bather, espe-
cially if the underclothes are changed
two or three times a week, on soap
days is clean enough for this wicked
world without further attention.
The temperature of the bath should
be as low as one can endure with
comfort; it should never be so low that
the bather feels cold after drying the
body. For the young with strong
hearts a temperature of so degrees is
fair average, but as age advances
this temperature should rise say one
degree with each year over forty, SO
that for person OF fifty years the
bath may be at sixty degrees, and for
one of sixty years at seventy degrees.
After sixty years one should observe
caution regarding the tub bath, and it
is better to get the doctors advice, for
If the water is too cold or too hot a
weakened heart may receive a danger
Gus shock. Sponge bathing is then
better as a rule
The temperature of the air in the
room should in general be about that
of the bath water, or a little above. The
glow Of the reaction which comes with
the rubbing is more readily produced
in a warm room. For this purpose a
good rough towel should be used vigor-
ously in order to bring the blood to
the surface and stimulate circulation
generally. Indeed. from the health
point of view, this rubbing is a most
important part Of the bath.-Y outh S
