TYPHOID FEVER.
Sources OF This Dangerous and Pro-
trncted Disease.

tracted Disease.
Although there IS always more or
less typhoid fever in most Of the larger
cities of this country. the late summer
and autumn are the seasons when 1t is
most to be feared
The disease is not so formidable. as
regards the mortality. as some others.
but its great length and the evil conse-
qucnccs which sometimes follow it in
the form OF weak heart. weak spine or
nervous disorders make it quite as Sc
rious as some which are more fatal, but
far less protracted.
Unless one knows how the disease IS
usually spread one cannot hope to
avoid it, and SO it may be useful to
consider In what ways the germs of
the malady find their way into the sys-
tenn.
! Water is the usual vehicle for ty-
phoid germs, as is we'll known, and
probably all great outbreaks of the dis
ease in cities are due to an infected
water supply. This has been strikingly
shown in Philadelphia. where some
parts of the city are supplied with fl
tered water and others with uniiltered
or mixed water. Comparing two parts
or the city in which the conditions. eX-
cept as to water supply, are almost the
same. 1t was found that in the one sup
piled with filtered water the occurrence
thousand. while in the others, In which
the unfiltered water was drunk, it was
one in sixteen hundred.
But city with an ideal water sup
ply may be scOurSed with typhoid
fever. although less severely, through
the medium of impure ice. and 1t is al
most as important to know where the
Ice is cut, or with what water it is
made. If artificial, as where the city
water comes from. Not long since a
number of officers on one of the United
states ships in the Mediterranean
squadron were taken down with ty-
phoid fever. When the source Of the
Infection was traced it was found to be
some ice bought at Athens, the ice ma
chine on shipboard having broken
down.
Another source Of infection Is found
In oysters that have been fattened in
streams contaminated with sewage.
Not only has typhoid followed the eat
ing Of these fish. but the typhoid baclli
have been found in the stomachs Of the
oysters.
Raw vegetables used for salads may
have been grown in soil contaminated
with slops used as fertilizers or may
have been washed in infected water
Unless water supply is above sus-
picion all that used for drinking. tooth

boiled and the drinking water cooled
by putting vessels containing it on the
ice. not by putting ice in the water it.

Finally. great care should be taken
to screen all food from flies. for if
there is a case of typhoid fever in the
neighborhood flies may become most
active distributors of the poison-

WAGON HAULING CONTEST
FOR STEEL RANGE.
BewIey Hardware Company Works A
Novel Advertising Scheme.

For weeks Bcwlcy Hardware Co.,
the firm now doing business ut the
old Oetzcl stand, had been advcr-
tising the free gift of a handsome
steel range, for the man or men
who hauled up in front of their
store the largest number of persons
in one wagon or any kind of
vehicle provided for the contest.
This contest was to take place on
Saturday, Sept. lst, II o'clock was
the closing time.
As result of the widespread
advertising of the affair and the
general interest attending contest
of this kind, IA great crowd of peo-
pie, between 800 and 2OOO as
semhlcd on the street around the
store. Only three wagons entered
the contest. These belonged to
Mcssrs. J. \. Wilburn, J. l.. Bclue
and J. +. Edwards.
Mr.. Wilburn's wagon was a two
story affair and we'll loaded with
human beings of various sizes and
shapes, but it broke down near the
railroad crossing So was not in the
count.
Mr.. J. L. Bcluc arrived with his
great freight of human lives, 21I
being the number he carried. His
wagon was one belonging to Union
county and used at the county
farm. 1t had a wide platform
construction with Il railing around.
The average weight of these persons
was near 100 lbs; these with the 2
600 lbs. weight of the wagon made
his load about 233OO lbs; and Iit was
drawn by four mules.
Mr.. J. +. Edwards the last to
arrive (and he was ii little after -
O'Clock the appointed hour) bore
the greatest number and won the
prize. In this case 2SS men,
women and children were packed
up together like imported ssrdines.
a platform arrangement, 11X3O
feet, on wheels was drawn by eight
mules. His wagon construction
weighed about 1000 lbs. and the
average was much less than 100,
probably so lbs. His whole freight
weighed then something like
27OOO lbs.
The cause of his tardincss was
that acting Mayor Long thought it
unsafe to proceed after the wagon
reached the Peoples Supply Com
paey, because of the down grade
and the great crowd. While stand
ing, one side of the wagon sagged II
little but finally they were able to
proceed. The prize was steel range
valued at $4,000 made by the
Philips and Burtorff Manufacture
ing Co. 1t was awarwed to Mr..
Edwards, but because of his tardi-
ness question was raised as to the
fairness of the decision. In view
of this Mr.. Bewley very generously
gave Mr.. J. l.. Bcluc, the second
man, a steel range of the same
make and value.
The judges were Messrs. J. F.
Belue, 7. X. Foster, d. j. Gregory
and w. w. Cotton.

We were informed that when
the hydrants were opened for the
fire at the Oil Mill here Monday
that muddy water flowed out of
the nozzle for about half an hour.
and it was so thick that it was of
little use in this case. 1t seems,
if these reports are correct, and
we must believe they are correct.
there seems to be some neglect
some where, because these dead
end hydrants are supposed to be
opened every week and allowed to
run until clear water ruus out of
these dydrants. If there was no
neglect on the part of the one
whose duty it is to see that these
hydrants are regularly opened,
than this last fire shows that they
should be opened oftener, and the
authorities should see that this is
done, it is a serious matter and it
should be given immediate atten-
tiou.

Members of Canal Commission to Sail
for Panama the 2Sth.

1t was announced today by the menu
bers of the isthmian canal commission that
they expect TO sail for Panama June p AMI
win take every possible step to hasten work
on the canal
Chief Engineer John r Stevens, who was
called to Washington to testify before
congressional committees. said today that
he expects TO sail with the commission on
June %. and is anxious to get back to the
work which has been hindered because Of
the uncertainty as to what type OF canal
congress would favor.
The decision by the Senate in favor Of
lock canal is especially gratifying to the
commission, as all plans have been made
for the construction of canal of that type.
and the members are confident that they
can soon have dirty flying on the istbmus-
Rumors of trouble between the zone gov
eminent and the Panama government as to
the free importation of tobacco into the
zone for the use of canal employees arc
causing the commission little uneasinsss.
Friction between Panama and the zone au-
thorities this subject Is not new.
1t has always been held by the commits
sion that tobacco Is as much of necessity
to canal employees flour or any other
provision. and they have always main
tained that tobacco should enter the zone
free of the 10 per cent duty imposed by
Panama on goods which are not classed as
necessities.
The Panaman government granted Bran
don Brothers OF New York the tobacco
concession. however, and Panaman otfl-
Gals asked the commission. as special
favor, not to take tobacco into the zone
until the expiration of the Brandon con-
cession, which was last April. 1t was
stated by the Panaman officials that they
knew the concessionaires would object TO
the importation of tobacco by canal author
tiles, and for the sake of peace they asked
the zone officials to waive their right 10
take in tobacco temporarily.
In April the zone authorities investigated
tobacco prices and found they could supply
their men with tobacco at least 30 per cent
cheaper than the men could get IL other
wise. Consequently IL was decided that
the commission would no longer waive It's
right to import tobacco along with other
supplies and a protest was filed by the
Panaman government. That was not heed
ed however. and the commission purposes
to supply iss men with tobacco regardless
of the objections of Panama or any con-
cessionaires who may be interested In the
tobacco trade.

While Washington Railway common was
entirely neglected. the preferred was sold
down to S611 by the same interests that
have been putting out the stock for some
time past. There was considerable dealing
IN Washington Gas. but no round amounts
changed hands. and the trading was not
significant.
