Melted Out to Him.

Charles Brown was ordered held to
tn grand jury this morning by Police
Magistrate c. j. Smith and he was
placed under $500 bonds to secure his
appearance. The charge against Brown
was one of malicious mischief. Brown
got into an argument last night with a
saloon keeper whose place is in the
vicinity of Twenty-sixth street, and he
came out second best in the ARRAY all
the way round. The trouble started
when Brown started to beg some mon
ey with which to buy whisky The
saloon keeper saw him "mooching"
and ordered him out of the saloon.
Brown refused to go, whereupon the
barkeeper took him by the collar and
another handy portion of his wearing
apparel and threw him out in the
street. Brown was angry, and as soon
as he was free he picked up a brick
and SHE'D it at an unoffending saloon
window, breaking it into sixteen thous-
and pieces. Then the barkeeper got
real angry and hung one on Brown,
after which he held him until the DO
lice arrived. Browns eye was a sight
as the result of the punch handed him
by the proprietor.

DISMANTLING THE
OLD SPEAR HOUSE
Understood That Modern Business
Block Is Soon to Rise on Lot
on Third Avenue.

Yesterday the work of tearing down
the Spear dwelling at the corner of
Eighteenth street and Third avenue
was commenced and. although the
house is one of the oldest in the city
and a landmark, no one regrets that
it is to go. The house was built more
than three score years ago and for
several years past has been owned and
occupied by Miss Kate Spear. About
year ago the property was purchased
by Collins brothers. but Miss Spear re-
tanned possession of the house. Sew
eral attempts were made to move ii
10 another neighborhood, but serious
objections were raised by those living
near the proposed location, and the
city council ordered that it be left
standing where it was. Some months
ago fire broke out in it and the place
gained more notoriety. Recently the
council declared the building q nui-
sance This action was very timely,
as all of the old buildings in the vicin-
ity are being done away with. The
one-story brick building Immediately
north of the Spear property. is being
dismantled to make room for an acdi-
ton to the Gansert candy factory, and
a number of other improvements are
under way on the street.
Although no definite statement has
been made in regards to the nature
of any improvements to be made on
the Collins property. it is understood
that a fine business block is soon to
rise there.

GENERAL CAMPAIGN is ON
Ordinance Is Passed by Local COun-
Gil to Back up Measures Advo-
Gated by Health Department.

| In discussing a new ordinance adop-
ted by the city council providing for
the protection of meats and other

Health Commissioner A. n. Mueller
said:
war against the common housefiy
| is now in order throughout the coun-
try. The national government has
taken up the fight, and by means Of
pamphlets and newspaper notices the
general public will be taught the true
danger of this little pest. Formerly
the fly has been endured or fought by
the housewife as a nuisance without
any appreciation of its dangerous ma
ture Flies are now recognized car
riers of many infectious diseases, es-
pecially typhoid fever. Because of this
fact the common house1y has been
aptly renamed the typhoid fly 1t is
only necessary to recall the fiy's orr
gin and habits to know the reason for
this war of determination. Flies are
the dirtiest and filthiest of all vermin.
They breed and live in the vilest
places, carrying millions of disease
germs on their feet. They track over
food which is many times eaten I'M
cooked, resulting therefore in sickness.
Should be Dreaded Plague.
1.-The fly should be dreaded and
fought as plague. The health depart
ment now has provision for the de
stroying or abolishing of places where
they breed. One measure is requiring
IL
properly constructed and tightly Gov
cred. The other is the new ordinance.
to which local merchants attention is
directed, published in full in this is
sue. 1t requires that all fOodstuffs on
display shall be effectively screened
and protected. The health department
of San Francisco, Cal, attributes its
lessened number of typhoid fever
cases within the last year to the above
fly protective measures Therefore, to
avoid much sickness this summer peo-
pie should keep their premises clean
so that flies will not be attracted, and
screen the house so that flies cannot
enter
Kidding House of Pests.
ITO get rid of flies in the house, use
sticky fly paper or traps. A Z per cent
solution of bichromate of potassium
made up with water and sweetened
with sugar, and placed in shallow
dishes throughout the house, will kill
the flies and will not harm the chill
dren should they get hold of it, This
is cheap ana may be obtained at any
drug store. To quickly clean rooms of
flies, burn pyrethrum powder. Sprin-
kle the powder on live Goals carried on
a metal shovel The fumes cause the
flies to fall in a stunned condition.
They must then be swept up and de
stroyed. Best results are obtained by
darkening the room, allowing only a
ray of light to enter at edge of win
dow shade Flies. in attempting to es-
cape the fumes, will seek the ray of
light at windows. This simplifies their
