The Merchants Association OF New
York is responsible for a very inter-
esting pamphlet on flies. The pamph-
let contains forty-eight pages in the
case OF the people against the Common
House Fly. On page 81 there IL this
little paragraph which is a sample OF
what the booklet contains.
Hitherto the fly has been regarded
complacently as q harmless nuisance
and considered to be an annoying
creature with great persistence and ex-
cessiwe familiarity. Regarded In the
light of recent knowledge the fly is
more dangerous than the tiger or the
cobra Worse than that, he is, at
least in our climate. much more to be
feared than the mosquito and may cas-
lily be classed, the world over, as the
most dangerous animal on earth"
Now the average citizen will no
doubt scott at this. but when the act
ual facts are presented he cannot get
away from the facts.
Bulletin 81 Of the Agricultural Elk
pertinent, Station located at Storrs,
Connecticut, shows that one common
house fly can carry $500, 600 bacteria.
The method Of obtaining these fig
ures was exactly the method Of drop
ping fly into some milk.
You have sometimes seen flies DROP
into uncovered milk.
Think where you have seen flies
and then ask yourself whether you
want flies touching the food that yor
buy and the food prepared in YOU
own home.
Typhoid fever is caused more from
the carrying power Of flies than b,
any other agency.

will be no flies.
There will be fewer dead babies i

the removal as the proclamation not

KAN. CITY, KAN. TO TAKE ACTION
One Dead and and Thirty Injured
Make the Strongest Argument for
an Ordinance Against An
Insane Fourth.

Kansas City.-With one person
dead and thirty injured by the reck-
less handling of explosives in three
days, Mayor Guyer announced that
there would be no more insane Fourth
of July celebrations in Kansas City,
Kan. The mayor at once will cause
an ordinance to be prepared prohib-
iting the sale Of dangerous fireworks
in that city-a thing needed by the
police to check the wreckless and
senseless use of dangerous explosives
and he will insist on the ordinance
being passed by the council.
Such an ordinance" the mayor
said, should be in effect now, and
if we had it I'm sure it would have
been enforced the last week The
only reason we didn't have it this
year is because many of the mer-
chants had laid in fireworks that cost
several thousand dollars. The ordi-
nance l shall have prepared will be
stringent in its provisions and with
its enforcement there never will be
a repetition of such doings as were
recorded Sunday and Monday"

Salina.-While returning to Salina
from a Fourth of July celebration
twelve miles southwest, an automo-
bile containing four Salina peon'e was
wrecked four miles from town.
The following persons were injured:
A. w. Williams, veterinary surgeon,
arm and three ribs broken, head bad
ly injured and unconscious for twelve
hours; may die.
R. o. Brown, real estate dealer,
both arms sprained and hurt inter

James Benson, druggist, collar bone
broken, arm broken and badly bruised.
w. H. Vandyke, driver, collarbone
broken, arm broken and head badly
bruised; serious.
The machine was going at about
thirty-five miles an hour when the
steering apparatus broke. The ma
shine skidded along for forty feet and
turned over. First 1t struck a bank
and then a clump of hedge trees. All
our occupants were hurled In the
air.

Adopt Consolidation System.

Morehead.-The little town of More
head, nine miles north of Cherryvale,
is smiling over the success attained
in the matter of school consolidation.
Last March, Rev. G. M. Durham, OF
Douglass, Kan, was secured to give
his lecture on school consolidation.
There were three men in favor of the
school, but Mr.. Durham's lecture con-
vinces thinking men, and when he
concluded his lecture he was secured
by the people to put one of the schools
in for them. July 1 saw the victory.
At an election on that day a new
school board, consisting of Messrs.
Morris, Gibson and Little, were elect
ed by the new consolidated district
An 8-acre tract of land was purchas-
ed as a site, and the board was au-
thorized to erect a six-room modern
brick school building.

Vienna is suffering from too many
pigeons and the authorities are at a
aoss to know what to do to mitigate
the nuisance. The birds, which num-
Der some thousands, have privileged
existence; nobody molests them in
any way, so that they flourish and in
crease rapidly. Recently so many COM
plants have been received from house
owners of the dirty condition of the
facades of buildings caused by the
pigeons that the Vienna magistracy
decided something must be done to re-
duce the number. In their perplex-
ity the magistracy appealed to the vi
emma Society for the Protection of
Animals to aid them in legal slaugh-
ter of the offending birds, always hav-
ing regard, however, to the provisions
of the new birds protection law. The
society answered that it would be
hardly consistent with their principles
of friendliness toward animals to en-
gage in a massacre of pigeons, and
therefore they must reject the official
appeal The magistracy are now
wrestling with the problem alone.
Perhaps the unemployed of Vienna
might help them.

Il Happened In Kansas
Brief Synopsis the Weeks Important Done the Sunower'Stae
$500 For Each lnhabitant.

Onaga.-According to the figures
from @he office of the county assessor
Onaga has surplus wealth to the
amount of 5000 for each man, woman
and child within it's limits The as
SCISSORS report shows that in the city
the moneys, credits and mortgages
listed for taxation amount to $199,440;
the same report shows that the town
had a population of 666 on March l.
There are five other incorporated
cities in the county and the highest
per capita wealth of the items listed
above is less than 500 and the lowest
$40 in any Of the five. Figures from
towns in other counties that have been
examined show nothing to equal the
figures from Onaga. They range
about as do the other towns Of Pot
tawatomie county. 1t is safe to as
sumo that Onaga did not turn in any
money, credits or mortgages for tax
alton that are not the genuine stuff.

Fortune In Railroad Bonds.

Neutrality-suspicious. county has fal'
len heir to a neat little fortune, COM
ing in the way of Missouri Pacific
stock, and has heretofore been con-
sidered worthless. Word has been re-
ceived from c. E. Foote & Co., saying
the concern would purchase all Mis-
souri, Pacific bonds at the rate Of 81
cents on the dollar, and offered pre-
MUM of one cent to the county for
turning over the bonds to them. This
is the highest rate ever paid for the
bonds. This issue made by the diff
ferent townships of Reno county to
the Missouri Pacific company was
$4,000 a mile. The county commits
sioners, who put through the election
in 1886, as in almost every railroad
issue, considered 1t formal method
of presenting so much money to the
railroad company as an inducement
to come here, and no thought was
ever given of the bonds proving to be
valuable.

Must File Annual Statements.

The first case to be taken to the
United States supreme court on the
question of whether or not a foreign
corporation must file annual state
ments with the secretary of state, will
go to the court within few days.
The papers are being prepared for
the appeal to the highest court in the
land of the Wilson NJ. Moline Buggy
company of Moline, ILL.,, against Z. b.
E. Hawkins. The buggy company sold
a big bill of goods to Hawkins and
he did not pay up promptly. The
company brought suit and then Haw-
kins beat them in the lower and su-
preme courts on the ground that as
foreign corporation the buggy COM
pany had not filed annual statements
of its business with the secretary OF
state, as required by the corporation
laws. The company has given notice
of an appeal to determine whether
or not state can compel foreign
corporation to file these statements.
