 Tag Day for Putnam.

The committee in charge Of raising funds for grading and improving the land near Cargill Falls, are arranging 10 raise funds therefor by q "Tag Day. As every one is interested in this im- provement and there are many who have net contributed as yet, the day will prove great success If every one enters into the scheme with enthusi- asm.
 The force of men and teams, under the charge of A. K. r. Rowe, began carting Ioam on to the east side of the trench, near the falls, last week Tues day, while surveyors Card and Wright were at work on the west side, setting out stakes preparatory to commencing work near the river.
 Details regarding tag day have not been arranged as yet, but it is safe to say, that as the committee have adopt- cd this up-to-date method their efforts, when arrangements are completed, will be amply rewarded. The work thus for has been done by the hard and painstaking efforts of the few, while tag day will engage hundreds to assist in the completlon of the work. Now that the land has been actually bought, and this desired improvement in the surroundings of our falls is actually under way, all are very anxious to see the completion as soon as possible. Every one can assist. Especial effort will be made to get the help and CO., operation of every good-looking young lady in town.
 Those who have been little iuke- warm because Of the size, cannot fall 10 sec a benefit of the improved condi tIon. Help this as starter for larger things laler on. seefy.

Dlph.herIs and Sewerage.

We mentioned, last week, as tho first public announcement, thnt there were cases of diphteria developed tn all parts of the city, seemingly simultn- necusly, which portended an epidemic. Dr.. LaItue. our Health Ofiicer. announ- ced last Saturday that seven cases ot diphtheria had bceIi reported to him as health officer. There Is little doubt but that Is but part of the actual number existing.
 In apprehension of It's greater prevls- fence, the Public Library ha. been closed and also Israei Putnam School, we presume until the extent of the disease is known and also to what 1t k ie be attributed. Df. Laisue has often, during Inc past few years, warned citi- zens Of the dangers that were threaten ing ihe city from the lack Of sewers. In his report, only few weeks ago, he gave his reasons why he believed the city was liable to epldemies on account of having no proper sewerage system. and naturally attributes to that cause the prevalent manifestation of dfph- theria. Df. LaRue Is no alarmist. He is . member Of the State Bosrd of Health, besides being the Health ofIi- cer of the town, and hts admonitions connot safely be dlsssgasded. **
 All the casss so far reported orc cs mild character, and have eaeily yielded to medical treatment. Tho ssosue dis- covesy of an anti-t toxin to combat diph- theria has been used and proved hap ply successful. Thsrs ts. isss anxiesy felt from an attack of this onesdssad- ed dissase on that account.
 But no matter how many eusos may be found. and however peslse4 eaeh may be, no intelligent psopls should be willing to allow . breeding eauss of such . fearful maisdy 10 exist, 1T that cause can bc removed, Oufexperiencsd Health Officer says there b an existing cause, and it can be removed.
 If there Is any doubt Of his judgment in deciding on such m important mat ter, call in other men Of skilled author fly to pass upon the question, rather than go on biindiy exposing the com munisy to any 50 undesirable diseases as Is now prevalent.
 Ne hope % important matter will Ds discussed and acted upon, and no matter what the decision may bs, no one can ever regret that the questiou was wisely and fairly treated.
