Deal With the Dust.

The time will come III the prog
ress of sanitation regulations when
laws will compel municipalities 10
conserve the public health by allay-
ing and disinfe6ting the dust of the
streets. Possibly. dust is one of the
greatest spreaders of disease. The
microbes of every malady cling to
its particles, and in dry weather,
float upon the atmosphere and are
breathed into mum berless lungs,
propagating there. and setting up
each its particular disease. 1t is
said that the streets of town can
be treated with oil at an annual ex-
pense Of seyenty-iive cents per cap
tia of the property owners, and yet
thousands of towns are suffering
their populations to contract pesti-
lence by breathing death laden dust.
One treatment of the streets per
year with oil, it is said, practically
settles the dust evil for that period.
When il is known that this treat
ment costs only seventy-five cents
per capita of the property holders,
every person will wonder why the
streets Of Aberdeen are not treated
with OIL Especially, viii the bust
ness people, who are taxed one doll
lar each per month, or more, to
have IL little water sprinkled in
front of their doors daily begin to
consider the more expedient and
cheaper mode.
Every body knows that people
afflicted with all manner Of diseases
are constantly expectorating and
mixing the germ laden sputam with
the dust of the streets. II is equal
" well known that moisture is nee
essary to the propagation of these
germs and that sprinklmg the
streets.with water increases rather
than minimizes the danger
In view of the fact of all of what
il said above, is it not strange that
Aberdeen has not adopted some
effective method of coping with the
dust long before this2

The boil weevil is surely headed
this way, and in less than three
more years will infest the cotton
fields Of Monroe county. Our peo-
pie had rs well get ready to receive
him, and be prepared to com bat his
encroachments. His presence
neither means ruin nor an end to
cotton raising. 1t means read
iustment of the agricultural idea as
practiced in this section-a change
of crops. smaller acreage of cotton
and a more intensive method OF
growing it: the releasing of more
lands to orchards and pastures, and
increasing the raising of stock. In
territory already occupied by the
weevil, agricultural conditions have
been improved, and farmers, while
growing less cotton. have become
more prosperous.
Learning from them, our people
may attain that goal sooner than
they, by being prepared for the boil
weevil even before he gets here.

Federal Court.

The Federal Court has been the
center of interest. owing to the inn
portance of the Steel miller cotton
case. This case involves several
million dollars paid out and pre-
dicated on fraudulent bills of lading,
alleged to have been forged by the
parties prosecuted. Witnesses from
France, Germany. other European
countries, and almost every COM
mercial center in the United States,
have been here in ATTENDANCE. The
case was continued to the April
term.
Numerous cases involving in
fringement of the postal and revenue
laws have been disposed of, and the
accustomed penalties imposed.
A number of prominent attorneys
have been in the city, which taken
in connection with other prominent
epersons attending, marks the pre-
sent session of the court, possibly,
the most interesting ever held in the
city.

Letter to Newt. Bebb,
Aberdeen. Miss.

Dear Sir: You know Barnum said
people like to be humbugged; but no.
body ever gave more for the money
than Barnum; and nobody sold more
goods.
Paint humbug is different. There
are more than 200 paints, all but s
adulterated, all but one of the eight
are more Or less weak, only one is as
strong as paint can be made.
What is wanted of paint is strength,
paint strength; nothing else but paint
strength.
When you paint your house, bear
in mind what a gallon costs and look
out for your gallons. The gallon it
self $1.75 or a little less; it has to be
spread on the building; that costs s.
to 81. The gallon put-on is s..
Strongest paint, least gallons to buy
and put-on at s. a gallon lookout
for your gallons.
Strongest paint, of course, wears
longest. Lookout for your gallons
lookout for nothing but gallons.
Strength is all paint strength. Least
gallons is all. All else is the humbug
that Barnum told-Of but never did

Everybody hopes no opportunity

JAPAN BUSY IN PHILIPPINES.
Lands Thousands of Rifles, Either
for Soldiers or Natives.

Manila, Feb. 16.-Great interest
was aroused in official circles today by
the report that several thousand Jap
anese rifles had been landed on the
Tayabas coast. 1t is feared by some
that japan is planning to install an
armed force in the Philippines, such as
it is believed to have now in Hawaii.
The cruiser Chattanooga was dis
patched to Lamon bay to search for
the ship in which the rifles were
brought here.
1t is believed by many that the rifles
were deliberately brought by Japanese
traders and turned over to the natives
in order to encourage them to rebel
against the Americans.
The authorities have been having
great trouble recently with the SNUG
glers and the Japanese seagoing mar
auders have been among the most SER
ious offenders.
That japan has always had her
eye on the Philippines everyone here
knows. The statement that the Jap
anese could take Manila in short order
has been made repeatedly and only this
winter has resulted in the government
at Washington making provision for
extensive coast forrtifications.
Whether the landing of the rifles
was oart of a general plot, or the work
of daring smugglers who wish to dis
organize the constabulary as much as
possible and keep them busy with in
ternal matters, the situation is almost
equally serious. If they can keep the
native tribes in revolt, they evidently
think their operations can be carried
on succes sfully.
Tayabas is the province which bord-
ers on the east coast of Luzon island.

Butte, Montana, Feb. 17.-Through
the refusal of 1877 engineers manning
the big hoists of mines to 60 to work
this morning in their effort to pull
apart from the jurisdiction of the
Western Federation of Miners and
force the mining companies to recog-
nize the International Engineers un-
ion No. 1873, all except three mines
were compelled this morning to sus-
pend operations, throwing 5000 men
into idIeness.
The Silver Bow, the Berkeley and
the Mountain Consolidated mines of
the Amalgamated Copper company are
still operating. but with crippled
forces.
Senator Clark's smelter was forced
to suspend this morning and within
four days the Amalgamated smelters
at Great Falls and Anaconda, employ
ing 5000 men, will also be forced to
shut down. Ten per cent of the smell
termen were laid off this morning.
Less than 500 miners are at work in
Butte today, every company in camp
being tied up as a result of the squab-
bic, which is purely between union
organizations, no question of wages OK
hours being involved.
Miners and smeltermen refuse to
handle ore hoisted by international en-
gineers and the companies steadfastly
refuse to accord the new union recogni-
tion.
Because of the great responsibility
entailed, the companies will refuse to
permit any but experienced Butte en-
gineers to man the engines. With the
closing of the coal mines, lumber mills
and stone quarries, to follow the suspen-
sion of the smelters, 18, 900 men will
be rendered idle in Montana and Wy
oming.
The trouble between the hoist engin-
eers and the miners has been of long
standing, and has occasioned much Bit
terness on both sides. 1t reached
point last fall where the miners re-
fused to go into the shafts where en-
gineers who refused to affiliate with
the Western Federation were employed.
The miners demanded that the engin-
GERS either join the Western Fedora
tion or leave the mines. This the en-
gineers refused to do and the miners
appealed to the operators to discharge
the engineers or endure strike.
The operators at first decided to
keep the engineers, but later, when
the supply of ore in the bunkers began
to run low and threatened the big
smelters with shutdown, they capit-
ulated to the miners.
At this juncture the smeltermen,
numbering several thousand, stepped
into the fight, and used strong meas
ures to compel the engineers to join
the Western Federation. The mine
operators, threatened with serious fin
ancia loss, Joined with the miners and
smeltermen in enforcing the demand,
and the engineers capitulsted.

A DOUBTFUL REpuKE.
The Little Qua<eress vaIiantIy Ups

The Little QuaIxeress VaIiantIy Up
braided Her RIotOus NeighBOr.
In a certain little New England vii
iage in the population Of which Qua
kers were long predominant, their In
huence kept the Fourth of July safe
and sane" for many years before the
present movement to that end was in
augurated But new people brought
new ways, and the Fourth grew noisier
and noisier.
Little Lucy, brought up in the home
of her Quaker grandparents, heard, as
the day approached, much condemns
tory talk of the violent and dangerous
manner in which "the worlds people
were wont to celebrate.
She was shy, odd, quiet child, and
when, on the eventful morning, she
was missed just as the racket began,
the first thought of her elders was that
she had been frightened into hiding.
But at noon she appeared, running in
from the long terraced garden, her
hair blowing, her eyes bright, her little
face radiant.
Where has thee been, child?" asked
her grandmother. 1--WE were becoming
troubled about thee
Thee needn't have worried, grand
mother" was the confident reply. Il
haven't been outside the garden, and
l have been quiet and orderly, as thee
told me, and / have borne witness
against unseemly tumult besides. Hen
ry Smiths garden runs back to ours,
thee knows, and he has been behaving
riotously all the morning, and / have
been sitting on fence post, watching
him riot
Il told him when he began, Henry,
thee ought to be ashamed And every
time he set off a cracker l said, %
Henry!' And when he fired a pistol
told him weapons were wicked. But
he kept right on rioting, and this aft
ernoon he is going to riot some more,
and have promised to sit on the post
and rebuke him again"
A dismayed grandmother, discerning
the spirit beneath the letter of rebuke,
forbade; and Henry was deprived of
his audience.
Boys are, of course, the chief pro
moters and victims of our too explo-
sive Fourth, but the innate instinct for
expiosiveness is not theirs alone. 1t
was an angelic blue-eyed cherub of a
tiny girl who at the close Of the first
celebration she was old enough to
share, when the last torpedo was ex-
ploded, the last cartridge fired, the last
frework set off, on the glorious day,
looked eagerly upward, still quivering
with excitement, and cried aloud to the
silver orb, floating in the heavens like
one more beautiful balloon:
20 moon, moon-bust!"
