prevent the spread of disease by the
common house fly who, according to
the information at hand, is a menace
to health in many ways. In Farmers
Bulletin No. 400 issued by the U. s.
Dept of Agriculture, it is stated that
circumstantial evidence shows that
tuberculosis, small pox, etc., are car
ried by them as we'll. We find that
manure from domestic animals is the
great breeder of this pest and that in
this city as it probably is in many
others. this refuse is thrown into the
alleys and other public places and al
lowed to rot and breed flies by the
millions.
We, therefore, petition your honor
able body, IL it has the authority to
issue such orders to local boards OF
health that Will compel all owners OF
keepers of domestic animals in orga
nized cities in Iowa to build upon
their own premises closed and screen
ed receptacles in which all refuse

animals of any kind shall be kept anc

The Blushlno Octopus.

The octopus frequently changes Its
color, like a marine cameleon. 1t
would appear, from recent studies OF
the creature, that the colored pigment
whereby this change in color is eff

its skin, in the tissues of which are
muscular flbers actuated by nerves.

From the tdeutenant..

Lieutenant W. G. Blood writes:
THE most serious complaint l would
make with block So is due to the
negligence of the city and the public
utilities company. At the corner Of
Second and Morgan the water works
company has dug hole alongside the
hydrant and the hole is still there
with the pile of dirt in the gutter
alongside, leaving 1t in a dangerous,
sloveniy and very unsightly condition.
The gas company has dug a hole
alongside of the gas pipe on Fulton
between my property and that of John
E. Craig, leaving a hole alongside of
the gas pipe, piling the dirt not only
in the gutter but also on the terrace
and lawn, leaving this place in a
dangerous and unsightly condition
S. Pemberton reports that block 6,
seventh ward, is clean and in good
condition.
Quite lengthy communication has
been received from r. E. Cushman,
lieutenant in block 90, Leighton's ad-
dition. In this block two lots are un-
der grade and have been used as a
dumping ground for all kinds of rub

case for the board of health, in the

he appeared before the Police
Jury of iberia Parish and stated
that it was his duty to serve it AS
legal adviser without charge, and
there rendered his services. This
tender of his services was accept
ed by the Police Jury. But, ow-
ing to his neglect of the work,
the Jury found that the inter
ests of the Parish demanded the
employment of another counsel
and thereupon procured the same

The main point, however, is that
notwithstanding his acknowledge
merit to the Police jury of lbe-
ria Parish that this service was
due the Police Juries of his dis
trict, which, of course, includes
St Martin, he continued to advise
the Policd Jury Of st. Martin,
and continued to charge and re-
ceive therefor 5000 per annum
and it was only after the publica
ton Of my announc ement, direct
ing attention to the fact that he
was illegally charging for such
service, that he rendered his ser
vices to the Police Jury Of St,Mar
tin as legal adviser free Of charge
1t would therefore appear tina;
while he was obligated under his
oath of office to advise this jury
to the best Of his ability, AM
while knowing that it had no lega
right to do so, he permitted tbs

COLLISION OF z
BIG four TRAINS
At mound CITY
Engineer and Firemen Jump and
Escape What Might Have Been
Fatal Injury

In a head-on collision between
freight trains occurring last night on
the Big Four railroad at Mound
City, the pilots Of the locomotives
were partially wrecked and few
draw heads were knocked out of
gear
The collision happened about $50
O'Clock. The local southboupd
freight was standing near the sta
ton and should have been side
tracked to permit the north bound
freight to pass on the main track
The north bound train was going at
fair speed. There is q curve in the
track a short distance south of the
depot which prevented the en-
gineer seeing thu other train until
he was almost up to 1t. The train
was a double header, having a long
string of cars. Just before the i'm
pact the engineer and fIremen of all
three locomotives jumped to the
ground. No one was injured. The
force of the collision carried the
south bound train back for quite a
distance and the sound of the crash
brouhgt large crowd to the scene.
In one of the care We're a string
of fine racers being brought brought
from the Vienna fair to Cairo to
ship via the :. G. to Anna for the
races there next week. The horses
were badly shaken up and one was
knocked down by the crash. 1t
is thought this horse was injured.
The locomotives will all have to be
repaired. They were Nos. 6207 and
621G of the northbound and 6185
of the southbound train.
