ing of the oil on the Mississippi
caused a great many rumors to the
effect that a steamboat towing a
barge of oil was burning.
Major Meigs went up the lake in
his launch last evening to make an
investigation and found the rumor
that steamboat was on fire had Its
foundation In the burning of the oil.
The oil burned for a long time and
made dense smoke. 1t was plainly
visible from Montrose and Nauvoo but
because of the smoke people were I'M
able to distinguish the cause of the
fire. The pipe line was shut off and
this stopped the fire.

vacant lots, there to rot and send out
the most offensive odors, instead of
burying them or placing them away
off from points where they will not
Offend the nostrils of citizens and
prove breeders for flies and disease.
This practice has become a great
burden to the health officers who are
using every precaution for the clean
illness and health of the city. Today
la nauseating mass of decayed chicken
offal was found thrown in pile in
an alley in the very heart of the city.
1T was frightful mass of disease
breeders, and it required some outlay
of time and disinfectants to be used
after a wagon was called to carry
away the offensive mess of decayed
