An Ice Cream Squadron" establish
ed by the city government and charg
ed with the duty of Selling and con-
demning impure ice cream wherever
found, is the latest novel develop
ment in Chicago's war against dis
ease. After this week the pictur
esque old hockey pokey vender with
his gaudy, oilcloth covered push cart
filled with watery ice cream will no
longer be seen on the streets of this
city doing out his wares to the boys
and girls of the tenement districts
and gathering in their pennies in re-
turn. The Chicago board of health.
through its head, DIR. Evans, has de-
clared that the innocent looking
penny ice cream" contains many
rabid, restless germs and is a serious
cause of mortality during the hot
summer months. So Food Commits
sioner Koehler and his ice Cream
Squadron" will ransack the rendez-
vous of the offenders and put an end
to their trade. The campaign is bas-
ed upon two new milk laws which
contain clauses against adulterated
milk products which are shown to
contain the deadly tubercular germ,
against which, in all its forms, Chi
cago is now waging a war of exter-
mination. The penny soda water"
man is aso included under the ban.

TURN OUT AND CELEBRATE.

The most wonderful thing in connec-
ton with the preparations for the
Granite Reef dam celebration is that
that such a matter of fact view is
taken of this great event, the most
important completed event in the his
tory of the valley.
People may have heard, but they
surely do not realize that the Granite
Reef dam is the greatest intake work
in the world, nor do they appear to
recall that less than two years ago
the spot where the water is to be
turned in upon the whole valley, was
in the midst of a desert out of which
it was hardly dreamed that any good
might come.
Whenever a community reaches a
miles stone, it is natural for its citi-
zens to stop and take notice of its
progress. That is what mile-stones are
for-to enable US to measure the dis
lance we have travelled. The Granite
Reef dam is a most important mile
stone and shows us that we have come
a long way in a comparatively short
time.
The completion of the Granite Reef
dam gives assurance that the lands
will never go thirsty again when there
is water in the river. That's worth
celebrating. We can think of nothing
else that could possibly more inspire
its beneficiaries to an expression Of
their qualification. We do not believe
much in fireworks, but if there is ever
a time for the burning of red fire, it
will be next Saturday.

GHOSTS IN BUSINESS.

The trial of Walter Bartnett of the
smashed California Safe Deposit and
Trust company has partially revealed
a much wider belief in spiritualism
than the average man would suspect
exists. That it does, however, widely
exist one might surmise from reading
the multitude of advertisements of
clairvoyants and other dealers with
the occult These advertisements in
crease in number from year to year,
indicating that the business is growing
more profitable, though the human
race is presumably growing more in
telligent.
But of late years a great deal Of
scientific investigation has been turn
ed in the direction of spiritualism and
the subject is dealt with seriously by
a class of periodicals which a few
years ago would have closed their
pages to such matter.
Everybody's Magazine has lately
been running a series of articles by
Hamlin Garland, a devout believer,
who seeks to show that while spirit
ualism is still tainted by much
fraud there is something in the table
rapping and the projection of spirits
after all.
Sir Oliver Lodge a distinguished
English scientist has lately deliver
ed lectures on this subject to fash
ionable London audiences. Without
definitely committing himself he be-
lieves that there is much in this world
and about us undreamed of by our
vain philosophy.
The precise relation of the spirits to
the Bartnett case was not permitted to
be disclosed, but the examination pro-
ceeded far enough to involve the
ghosts of Coils P. Huntington, Jay
Gould and James G. Fair, which are
supposed to have aided Bartnett in his
control of the aged president of the
defunct banking institution. 1t might
be supposed that a hard headed bust
ness man would be the last to be af-
fected by ghostly influence, yet it
curiously happens that just before
this San Francisco revelation Chas.
Scribner's Sons had issued Vera the
Medium" a summer volume by Rich
ard Harding Davis, who had chosen
an aged millionaire for the dupe of the
clairvoyants.

: A Plea for Our Infirmities

know we've got tarantulas, and rattle
snakes and bugs,
And oft the scorpion slyly creeps
beneath our parlor rugs.
We've got our share of centipeds,
which move so swift and still,
And horned toads and creeping
things,
You'll find, go where you will
That pest, mosquito, huns about our
ears of sultry nights,
And the grasshopper and cricket will
gather round the lights.
l also know the flies will swarm like
bees about the door,
And the yellow-jacket and the ant
will sting US till were sore.
Oh, yes! 1 know that all these things,
we've got and many more,
But then, just think of all the good
that lies about our door.
Just look upon the orange trees, with
fragrant blooms so fair,
And the perfume of the roses upon
the summer air.
Just see the fields of waving grain, so
proud are we of it,
And the palm, and the umbrella, in
the shade of which we sit
Just cast your eyes about you, and
look at all these things
Besides the many birds of brightly
plumaged wings.
Then, dream of northern winters. with
their wide expanse of snow.
While in our sunny land, such cold
we do not know.
Just think of all the good and bad
you find in our fair land
Then, for Salt River valley, 1 am
sure you'll take a stand.

a 1lbuIou. Lard, M.xo.

Anyone with a love of queer names
should study the names Of past lord
mayors Of London. Besides one or two
that are merely uncommon and did
not belong to men of any distinction,
such as Sir Richard Spaa. mayor in
1852, there are some that deserve no
tce also for the sake of those who bore
them. There was Sir John Brugges in
1920, whose ancestor fought at Agin-
court, when. curlously enough, the
name had the more modern form Of
Bridges. There was Alderman Mica
jah Perry in 1880, who laid the first
stone of the Mansion House, and Sir
Benjamin Hamet. who was fined Fl 600
in 1897 for refusing to act Us mayor
positively a cheap way of getting out
of 1t.
The most appropriately named lord
mayor seems, however, to have been
the cheerful Sir Robert Viner, who on
tertained Charles III. and drank the
kings health SO often as to become un-
duly merry. The king tactfully sought
to retire, but Viner plucked him by
the sleeve and vowed he should "stay

panton and the organ erinder..

Paris has more than once made war
on organ grinders. There as here, they
have their enemies and also their
champions. The war, however, is an
old one, and politicians had time to at
tend to 1t even at the height of the
revolution.
No less q man than Danton then took
the part of the musicians.
Citizens" he cried from the tribunal,
II hear that an attempt is being made
to prevent the organ grinders of Bar
barry from playing their tunes us usual.
Do you think, then, that the streets of
Paris are too gay? Have the people Of
Paris too many songs on their lips?
One after another our liberties are be-
Ing wrested from US. Leave us at
least the liberty of listening to the Or
gans of Barbary, Of hearing from them
our favorite songs and refrains.'

sentiments was the last that he had
the opportunity of delivering as a

Hotel Accommodations In india

All over the world Indian hotels
have bad name to any one who has
been used to moderate degree of COM
fort and good feeding. They are for
the most part disgrace. Why people
should have to pay from 10 rupees to
% rupees day in the cold season and
from rupees to u rupees day in the
hot season without receiving comfort
and good feeding seems at first difficult
to answer. AS rule, the feeding is
most inferior. badly served up, table
cloths and napkins frequently dirty,
not to speak Of the knives. forks,
spoons and tumblers. Bedrooms are
badly looked after, and unless one has
very smart bearer it is difficult to re-
ceiye proper attention. All this should
not be for such prices us people pay.
In many third rate boarding houses in
England one could get presumably as
good us what is got in some of the
SO called first class hotels in Calcutta.

Tho Supposed Life on Mars.

scanned lead us to the conclusion that
Mars at this moment is inhabited, but
they land us ut the further one that
these deniZens are of an order whose
acquaintance was worth the making
Whether we ever shall come to con.
verse with them in any more instan,

at present has no data to decide. More
important to us is the fact that they
exist, made all the more interesting
by their precedence of us in the path

Gusts us from any unique or self cen

so with the world did the Copernican

CAPT. MERRY IN ILLINOIS.

The Decatur Daily Herald contains
the following account of Capt. Merrys
exhibition car which he is conduct
ing through Illinois In the interests
of the Illinois Central.
j. F. Merry, immigration agent OF
! the Illinois Central, with headquarters
at Manchester, Ia, is in Decatur to
remain several days In charge of the
exhibition car which that company
will bring to Decatur this afternoon
and keep here for three days. At 2
O'Clock each afternoon that he is here
Capt. Merry will talk to the visit
ors explaining to them something OF
the exhibition, which is advertising
the farm products and natural resour-
ces of Kentucky, Tennessee, Missis-
sippi, Alabama and Louisiana. The
car contains an interesting show, a
state fair, not from one but from sew
eral states.
Capt. Merry is an entertaining talk
err. He is one of the principal speak
ers at the formal opening Of the ILL
nois Central passenger station in De-
catur several years ago and that by
the way was his last visit here. Then
his title was assistant general passen-
ger agent, but his headquarters then,
as now, were at Manchester. He has
been there for the greater part of the
time that he has been in the service
of the Illinois Central and that Is the
major portion of thirty years. For
many years Capt. Merry was better
known in business way to the news
paper fraternity of the central west
than the head of the department he
represented. In those days all adver-
Using matter concerning the excur-
sions to the northwest and in pretty
much every other portion of the coun-
try tapped by the Illinois Central was
sent out from his office at Manches-
ter. Capt. Merry probably had as
much as any one Individual to do in
booming Iowa and getting a good
class of settlers in that state when
there were cheap lands to be had
there. He kept everlastingly at it.
He knows that state and more of its
people than do most of the success
full politicians there and that is say
ing not little for they are indus
trious fellows, those Iowa politicians.
Now, evidently, the captain is de-
voting his talents to booming the
southern country tributary to the ILL
nois Central He has been through
that mill and knows the rice country
and the sugar country like a book.
Many northern men who have pros
pered in the south owe their success
to the way in which the matter was
brought to their attention by Capt.
Merry. The car opens at 8 o'clock
in the forenoon.

A Cool Thief.

One summer afternoon an exception.
ally well dressed stranger was seen to
enter the front gate of Il house in a
wealthy neighborhood. He walked tc
the door and tried to open it with u
key. AS he could not do so he went
around TO window and, pushing it
open, climbed in through it. 1t was n
suspicioas proceeding. but as the mar
was dressed in the height of fashion
the officer on the beat thought that 1t
was the owner of the house, who, hav-
Ing forgotten his key, had used the
window as his means of entrance
However, the officer thought it best to
watch the place for awhile to see If
anything out of the way might occur.
y short time later, emerging from the
front door, the stranger stopped as If
some one had spoken to him from
within. and. saying "Yes, Bess, l have
my key this time" he lifted his hat
and walked slowly away. Some hours
later, when the real owner of the house
returned, the policeman learned that his
first suspicious had been correct, for
the we'll dressed stranger had walked
off with the iewelry and everything Of
value that he could lay his kid gloved
hands upon.-Chicago Tribune.
