WILL APPEAL
TO DR.. dixon

The residents at the lower end of
West Market street are up in arms
against an obnoxious and we'll nigh
intolerable condition brought about by
the municipal sewer, which empties
into the river opposite that part of
town.
Unquestionably the residents have
cause for complaint. The sewer en-
pties into the river at point little
west of the ark lot. Except at seasons
of low water the mouth of the big pipe
is at safe distance from shore, where
the water is of sufficient depth to
carry off the sewage as fast as it is
discharged into the stream. 1t has
only been for some two weeks, since
the river has fallen to approximately
low water mark, that there has been
any trouble.
Brief as the interval may seem, how
ever, it has been sufficient to breed
terrible menace, one that is becoming
worse with each day. The mouth of
the sewer IS now at the waters edge
and all about the spot lies a mass of
semi-solid matter, hardening in the
sun and emitting stencil so vile and
nauseating that none but persons of
the stoutest stomachs can remain long
near it. To assist in draining the sew
age out into the river ditch or arti-
fetal channel some eighty feet long has
been dug where the water is low, but
this only imperfectly serves its pur-
pose. The lack of current causes the
sewage to lie all about the mouth of
the pipe. The consequence is that day
after day, while the river is falling,
fresh accumulation is added to the
great mass of filth lying on the shore.
Unfortunately for the residents of
lower West Market street the prevail
ing wind just at this season seems to
come from the west and conditions are
such that nearly all hours of the day
they are compelled to breathethe sick
ening and disease breeding stencil that
is waited up from the mouth of the
sewer. At certain hours during the
middle of the day the offensive odor
does not annoy people living on West
Market street very much, but at other
times, especially at night, the stencil
is almost overpowering
Several of the residents Tuesday
stated that tie nauseating odor enter
ed their houses and that there is no
way to escape from it. Neither do
they see any relief in the near future.
The river will be pretty sure to fall
lower and it may not be until six
weeks or two months later that there
will be a rise that will bring about
better conditions. Each succeeding
year, too. will bring recurrence of
the same condition. Owing to the
sewer extensions made annually the
amount of sewage disch arged into the
river increases each year. For this
reason conditions the present year are
worse than last and for the same rea-
son they will continue to grow worse
in the future.
Two different persons yesterday de-
clared that it was their intention to
write Health Commissioner Dixon, in
viting him to send representative TO
Danville to investigate conditions in
connection with the sewer.

A FINE SUCCESS

The G. A. r. picnic. which was held

The Danville contingent was one of
the largest that attended the reunion.

The latest estimate made by the
department of agriculture on the
crops for 1907 shows this country
has produced this year nearly two
and half billion bushels of corn,
G25 million bushels Of wheat, TAI
million bushels of oats, l47 million
bushels of barley and 81 million
bushels Of rye. The aggregate of
the five crops Is little below four
billion bushels, as compared with
nearly five billion bushels last year.
Last years yield, however, broke
all the previous crop records in the
United States. But practically all
farm products are higher this year
than they were last, so that in near
ly every section of the United States
the farmers will reap as large returns
from their crops as they did last
year. At any rate, the farmer who
has an average crop this year is not
worrying much about the present
financial furry. He will continue
to enjoy peaceful rest at night and
eat three meals day, with no worry
about the future, while some of his
city brethren who are speeding along
prosperity avenue today in auto.
mobiles may find themselves hoofing
it along poverty alley tomorrow.

A Wyoming Romance.

From chance acquaintance
which was formed through the
prospective brides saving a Union
Pacific passenger train from dis
astrous wreck last summer, has
grown a romance which eliminated
this week in the marriage of Miss
jessie O'Reilly Of Buford and r. j.
Scholtz, section foreman for the
Union Pacific at that point. One
afternoon last summer Miss O'Reilly
was passenger on u. p. train, No
4. A few miles east of Buford the
forward coach on the tram was de-
rallied while the train was moving
at a great speed. Through Miss
O'ReillY's rare presence OF mind,
the train was saved from derall-
ment, for it was she who pulled the
air cord and thus warned the en-
gineer that danger was near. Mr..
Scholtz who heard of Miss O'Rell.
ly's brave act sought her acquaint-
ance. The acquaintance he sought
was gained and ripened into mutual
love. Rock Springs Miner.

This week practically closes the
political campaigns IN a number of
eastern states, in most of which
only MINOR officers are to be elected.

nlum swings in any state.
More significance, however, will
be attached to the result of the
mayoralty contest in Cleveland,
Ohio, than to any of the state cleo
tlons.
Tom L. Johnson, who is now
holding his third term as mayor of
that city and Congressman Theo-
dore Burton are the opposing can
didates. Johnson is extremely pop
ular and has been characterized 1.-THE
best mayor in the best governed
CITY in the United States" He is
in reality boss of the democratic
party IN Ohio and is listed among
the presidential possibilities.
Burton is now serving bis eighth
term in congress from the Cleve-
land district and is considered one
of the very brainiest men in the
lower house. He is a warm friend
of President Roosevelt and Score
tary Taft, and it is believed that he
accepted the nomination for mayor
upon the advice of these men. This
fact, together with Johnson's known
presidential aspirations, causes the
contest TO become very largely OF
national interest. Burton's election
will add to Taft's strength in OHIO
and at the same time have the effect
Of laying Johnson on the shelf, SO

is concerned. On the other hand.

it will he considered largely as re-
fusai by the citizens of Cleveland to
endorse the national administration
The campaign has probably been
the liveliest one ever held in that
city. Telegraph reports state that
the registration is about 5000
above the normal vote of the city.
Both parties are claiming this
augurs well for their respective
candidates. The republicans say it
means that hundreds Of republicans
in the city, who have been out Of
harmony with the state administra-
tion are falling back in line and
will vote for Burton, while the
democrats contend it means that the
democrats are registering for the
purpose of recording their approval
next Tuesday of Johnson's splendid
administration during the past six
years.
The result will be awaited with
interest by the nation, for through
the city hall Of Cleveland may lie
the road which will lead the forth
coming occupant to the White
House at Washington.

Montpelier, Idaho, Nov. i, 1907

The first move in the great polit-
ical campaign of next year will be
made on Dec. 9th, when the repub-
lican national committee will meet
in Washington, ID. g., to fix the
time and place for holding the
national convention. As usual there
are half dozen or more cities in
the race tor the convention, but
none will make harder fight for it
than Denver. A committee of
boosters in that city has rtarted out
to raise 1925, 900 for the purpose Of
defraying the expenses of holding
the convention there and the am ount
has nearly all been subscribed. If
they don't secure the republican
convention, the Denverites are going
after the democratic convention with
increased vigor. With the assur-
ance that proper hall and hotel ac-
commodations would be provided,
we see no reason why the honor of
entertaining one of the great nation
al gatherings should not be given to
the capital city of the Centennial
state.

Perhaps the credit of introducing
club methods to the American women
should be given to the missionary So
cieties. The first movement for or
ganized, independent work by the
American women in behalf Of heath

York, April 1860, by Mrs. T. c. Dore-
mus.
In 1884 the Rev. David Abeel re-

PLEADED in New York the cause of the

mans mission to woman" took root in
the heart of Mrs. Doremus. Twenty-six
years later, when she heard the stir
ring words of missionary from Bur
ma, Mrs. Doremus resolved that this
appeal should find response in the
hearts of American women if it could
be accomplished. In 1860 her fondest
hopes were realized, ana an independ-
ent, undenominational society was or
ganized to send out single women to
the east. The organization took the
title of the "Woman's Union Mission
ary Society of America for Heather

effort of woman to conduct labors of
magnitude and importance.
