Chief Meyers discussed the in
adequacy of the mains and the lack
of water with Alexander Lindsay,
superintendent of construction of
the water department, imme diately
afer the fire, and made strong ver-
bal proest against continuance of
the present condition. Lindsay said
that there was plenty of water in
reserve, but on account of the small
size of the mains only SO much
could be had.
WHAT FIRE CHIEF SAYS.
"Give us the water and We'll
make better showing" said Chief
Meyers to Press reporter this
morning "If it hadn't been for the
assistance rendered with their hose
by the force of the McGoldrick
Lumber company, the loss would
probably have been much heavier.

put in 1t would be folly to think Of

One Of these is in Clark county, and
covers a large drainage project, which
will cost more than $lO0 600. The ditch
will be at one place SO feet in depth,
and win drain a large area Of swamp
land when IL is completed. The COM

account OF the figures submitted, have
decided 20 call for new bids. Since that
time the engineer has been making es-

Is proudly exhibiting the rattles as an
evidence of her nerve. While working
in her home she heard q hen making
quite a fuss in the hen house near
her claim shack. When she arrived at
the door of the hen house she stopped
to look around, and while standing
there the wind suddenly blew her dress
through the doorway. Instantly large
rattlesnake that was coiled just inside
the doorway struck viciously at the
Tapping dress. Had the young woman
entered the hen house without stopping
an instant at the door she would have
been struck by the deadly fangs of the
reptile. Securing a garden hoe the
young woman killed the snake, which
was three and one-half feet long and
had nine rattles.

OVERSEER OF BLIND
CHILDREN DECLARES
PARENTS BLAMABLE
Experiments Show That Siph
Can be Saved at Birth bv
Simple Means.
BY DoANE ROBINSON.

Pierre, S. D., July 26.-I am in p.
ceipt of a letter from DR.. James 2
Fonger, of Gary, physician to the stat
school for the blind, in which he cali
attention to the large percentage az 60
called congenital blindness. which i.
really due to ignorance and careless
ness Of physicians and midwives in fan
ing to treat and examine the ewes q.
new born children for ophthalmia, ~
Fonger states that from 80 to 40 ns,
cent Of the existing blindness is due N
neonatal opthalmia and is readily pre-.
Ventable II physicians and rnidwiyes
will exercise reasonable care and give
the new born proper treatment.
So interested is the physician in ths
subject which has been forced upon his
attention by the conditions revealed IN
the helpless children who come under
his care, that he urges drastic legisls.
ton on the subject, and particularly
that doctors reporting deaths to the
vital statistics division be required to
certify as to what steps were taken IA
prevent blindness from effects Of Cd.
thalmia neonatorum. He further sug.
gests that the treatment Is very simpls
and can be applied by any intelligent
person, and that the installation Of
few drops of q 2 per cent solution Of
nitric Of silver into the eyes Of the
Infant will almost infallibly cure the
Inflammation.
I find by an examination of the birth
returns to the vital statistics division
that in about 25 per cent of the births
reported neither physician nor trained
midwife were employed. In these cases
as a rule some motherly old neighbor
has performed the office. The impor.
lance of general dissemination Of IN
formation as to treatment Of the eyes
Of infants becomes, therefore, very ap-
parent.
Consulting other physicians, I find
DR.. Fonger's views are confirmed and
all public spirited doctors urge that the
law on the subject be made mandatory.
A leading physician Of this state says:
1.-TWO drops of 2 per cent silver nitric
solution applied to the eyes of an in.
FAINT within one hour Of birth and i'm
mediately washed out with water, will
in every case prevent blindness from
opthalmia." It is important that the
solution be speedily washed out, as toe
long retention of it in the eye produces
irritation and injury.
Blindness is so terrible an affliCtiOn
that any measure that will reduce the
number Of victims ought to be given
the utmost publicity and the failure to
apply 1t should be deemed a most ser.
tous reLSoach upon those who neglect
so simple treatment. / trust that ali
newspapers will aid in giving the
necessary information to the public
and that all persons who off1ciate IN
obstetrical cases will provide them
selves with the solution to be immed
lately applied after every birth.
