FILTER CANNOT
ELIMINATE THE
B A D s NJ ELL
WATER SUPPLY Is NOT SWEET
SCENTED, BUT AN ANALYSIS
PROVES 1T is NOT AT ALL
HARMFUL.

The filter at the city water sta.
tion will not take the smell out of
the water that is being furnished the
city, but it does take ont all impuri-
ties, and we have had repeated an
alysts of the water made, and it is
pronounced perfectly safe" said Com.
missioner Hoard in his office at the
city hall yesterday morning. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Hoard stated that until
the vegetation covering the expan-
sive area created by repeated rises in
the lake had died and settled, this
condition would continue. 1t is dis.
agreeable, but not unhealthy, and is
absolutely safe for domestic purposes,
he said.
This same condition prevailed be-
fore, and it was then, as it is now,
disagreeable, but there is no danger
whatever, and the doctors of this city
will tell you they never have had
case of typhoid. traceable to the use
of water from the city lake. The
same cannot be SAID of the wells OF
the city"
According to Mr.. Hoard, the water
is being filtered at the plant, but as
he states, the filter will not remove
the disagreeable smell.

POOR WAGES GIVEN AS CRIME!
CAUSE BY AID. MERRIAM p.
"Unsanitary housing and working
conditions, unemployment, wages in

dard of living, inevitably produce the
crushed or distorted bodies and
minds from which the army of crime
is recruited. The crime problem is
not merely question Of police and
courts. It leads to the broader prob
lens Of public sanitation, education,

This statement from the Merriam
crime committee is the most sensa=

Chicago Vice Commission that low
wages in department stores were a
factor in driving girls to houses of

Princeton, TO-, Feb. 1s.-Ray Plan
schmidt, young Quincy, Ill, contract
or, was found not guilty of the muir
der of Miss Emma Kaempen, a school
teacher who boarded at the Plan
schmidt home at Quincy by a jury
that returned a verdict today after
celebrating Is hours.
This disposes of a third count in
the charge of quadruple murder
against young Pfanschmidt, which
has been one Of the most sensational
crime cases in this history of Western
Illinois. The bodies of the Plan
schmidt family and Miss Kaempen
were found burned in the Pfan-
schmidt home over two years ago. A
charge of murder of the boys mother
was noIled. Pfanschmidt was con-
victed at Quincy on charge of muir
dering his sister, Blanche, but on a
reversal by the supreme court and
retrial at MacOmb a verdict Of not
guilty was returned.
On Monday the court will take up
the charge Of the murder Of the IA
ther. In view of the two acquittals it
is possible that motion to dismiss
will be made and allowed.

Radicalism Has Been Jolted

BY far the most important under
lying improvement at home is the
changed political attitude toward big
business. Radicalisn has received ?
severe check in the United States.
At one time it conspicuously discour-
aged enterprise and interfered witp
legitimate business, thus proving one
of the most prolific sources OF empty
dinner pals. President Wilson wise
ly called halt on these tendencies,
and the result is already beneficial.
Had it not been for the war, there ts
no doubt that this country would to-
day have been enjoying u period Of
marked recuperation and prosperity.
The next important source OF I'm
provement, also q comparatively 81
lent one, is the working of the new
federal reserve system. This is hav-
ing helpful effect upon business and
credit operations. Our banking sys-
tenn is now upon a sound basis and In
a position to meet all emergencies.
Funds are plentiful to good borrow
ers, and If interest rates are high, II
is not due to home conditions, but to
forces abroad beyond our control.
The United States is now the only
free capital market in the world.
Foreign nations are coming to us for
financial assistance; and considering
adverse conditions, the amount 81
new capital issues in this country ts
surprisingly large, and demonstrates
our healthy recuperative abilities.
For the satisfactory monetary condi-
tions at home and the confidence thus
inspired the new federal reserve sys-
tenn is very largely responsible

MATUES-CRETN EY,

Tuesday evening of this week, May
%, 1915, Mr.. H. Roy Mathes, of lower
White river, and Miss Hazel Ileene
Cretney surprised their many friends
by calling upon Rev. NJ. DeMotte,
pastor of the Methodist church to
join them together in marriage.
The wedding took place at the
home of the brides mother, Mrs.
Thomas Gentry, on the IT, ranch,
four miles southeast of town. An
immense Martha Washington gera-
mum, taller than either the bride or
groom, made a pretty background
for the bridal party. After the cere-
mOny, a nice two course luncheon
was served by the brides mother
assisted by Mrs. Leon Harker.
MIR. Mathes is a promising young
rancher of the lower White river
country, where the happy young
people will make their home. The
affair was informal, but very pretty
wedding, and all join in best wishes
for the future of the young folks.
