Sanitation Of Small Towns.

We hear much of the reduction in
the death rate Of large cities in recent
years, but very little about the i'm.
provement of the health of small
towns. 1t is well known, says the In
dependent, that all the infectious dis.
eases claim many less victims in city
life than they did rs years ago, and
the reason for 1t is not far to seek.
Cities established departments Of
health, gave to them ample powers,
and then insisted on their being ef-
fective if their appropriations were to
be continued. The consequence has
been that not only has much suffer.
Ing been spared, but thousands-nay,
even hundreds of thousands-of peo-
pie are now alive who, in the words Of
one prominent sanitarian, have no
business being alive-they would have
been dead If the death rate that pre-.
vaileds 20 years ago still obtained
Had they died their death would have
been considered as from the hand of
God. We know that their living is
the result of the taking of some very
simple measures for the prevention Of
disease.

How to get enough qualified teach.
ers for its schools Is problem which
continually perplexes New York city.
A member of it's board of education,
at the meeting last month, introduced
a resolution instructing the superin.
tendent to ascertain If teachers can.
not be obtained from other cities. He
said that there are 800 vacancies.
With salaries beginning in the lowest
grades at $500 year, and increasing
at the rate of $40 for each year OF
service, the pay is much better than
that offered in smaller towns; but II
costs more to live In New York, and
one does not get so much, for ones
money in the way of pleasant human
intercourse as in the country.

Euovy Of Aftsstsn Well,

To calculate the rate Of flow Of an

bottle OF 3aniline fluid to a depth Of
say 500 feet and then electrically ex.
plode cap to burst the bottle. The
time required for the fluid to appear
at the surface gives an accurate gauge
as to the velocity Of flow. 1t is claimed

Stuart Celebrates.

Stuart, Neb., July 6. - Special to
The News: Stuart observed the
Fourth in the good old fashioned way
and the celebration was pronounced a
success by those who attended. This
being the only railroad town in either
Holt or Rock counties that celebrated
there were many visitors from neigh
boring towns. The exercises were
held in the opera house, the orator of
the day being Hon. A. II. Tingle of
Butte.
A matched game of baseball and
basket ball was played between Stu
art and Newport. Newport girls won
the basket ball game and Stuart boys
the baseball game Most excellent
music was furnished by the Stuart
concert band, a musical organization
of much merit composed mostly Of
boys ranging in age from ten to
eighteen years. 1t was organized
but little over year ago and has
been under the instruction of Rev. S.
Light. Considering the ages of the
players and length of service, 1t is
safe to say it has not an equal in the
state.

MAY ORGANIZE MILITIA
SOLDIER FEVER is AGAIN LAYING
HOLD OF NORFOLK.
WILL BE READY BY THIS FALL
Already Forty Names Have Been
Placed on the List of Those Desiring
to Become Members of the New
Militia Company Here.

From present plans likely to ma
terialize Norfolk stands to have a
militia company formed in this city.
BY fall it is thought that there will
be some three score of young men en-
gagged in weekly drill as a company in
the organization of the state guard.
The plans for the company have
been so far carried out that an en-
rollment list of about forty names has
been secured. Fifty-eight names are
necessary before the state will recog-
nize company and provide guns and
equipment. When the local lists have
been signed up they will be forwarded
to Lincoln and the governor and adj
jutant will be asked to place the Nor
folk company in commission.
A new company formed in the state
is organized for a time as an indie
pendent company and as such an or.
ganization stands in line to fill the
first vacancy in the regular list of
companies in the two regiments of
the state.
Other surrounding towns which
maintain companies Oh Tie SJdLe MI
litia are Columbus, Stanton and Mad
lison. These companies are all of the
First Nebraska regiment.
1t is sometime since Norfolk has
heard the uniform tramp of the sol
der boys or seen the brown suits of
a local company of the state troops.
For some years a militia company was
maintained here, but Indifference in
the ranks led to giving up its commits
