SANITARY CONDITIONS.

In talking to representative of The News Monday afternoon Mayor Smith called especial at- tention to the sanitary conditions ln Springdale at the present time. Repeated efforts have been made to place the outhouses of Spring dale in sanitary condition, but they have ayailed little. \ little lime and crude carbolic acid would do much to relieve the sit nation, and Mayor Smith requests The News to state that this must be looked after or the offending parties will suffer. There is much danger of typhoid fever at the present time there is danger of infantile paralysis; both dis cases are scattered by the fly and there are some places in Springdale that are the breed- ing place of filth and sickness. faas. are the places Mayor Smith wishes cleaned up. Mayor Smith k of the opinion that the offend ing parties do Tot realize the seriousness of the situation, and wants every resident of Spring dale to look after the cleaning mp oi their outhouses at once. Ii will possibly stop the spread of any disease.

POND MUST BE CLEANED UP
 E.
City Board of Health Says Pond at Auditorium Must Be Clean cd Up-Is Breeding Place for Malarial and Typhoid Germs.

What Is to be done with the pond at the Auditorium ,!
 This Is the question that is now causing much worry to the mem bers of the City Council. and sey- eral others in Springdale. Fri day afternoon the City Board of Health visited the pond. making an investigation, and their re- port, while not in the shape Of a command to clean-up the pond amounted to the same thing they practically condemned it, and t now only takes a slight action Of law to place the city in very De. culiar attitude. and demand that something be done.
 For some time tlIe pond has been in very bad shape, and numerous efforts have been made to do something with if. Several times parties have offered 10 donate their services toward cleaning ID the mud. leaves and other de eayed matter. but nothing has been done. But the action of the City Health Board makes il imperative that something be done, and done at once.
 Efforts have been made 10 raise enough money by popular subscription to.build= retaining walls around the pond, clean it out, and make II much better; but the efforts met with very lit- tie enthusiasm among the citi- zens.
 It has been estimated that 1t will cost near $500 to build these walls. and after the circulation of the petition il was found that a sum of about $60 had been suh- scribed. It was then decided to fill up the pondd, but it was found that this would be almost IS expensive as retaining walls; and the city has no funds on which to operate.
 The matter will be brought up at the next regular meeting of the Council in August, and in all probability the retaining walls will be ordered built, the pond cleaned out, and the Auditorium and grounds sold to pay the amount of the bill for the work.

OWNBEY NOT MAJOR.

Although he has been in tenn porary command of the First Bat talion, of the Second Regiment, of the National Guards at Lit tie Rock, almost the entire time he has been in the mobilization camp. definite information was given out Friday afternoon, that Captain Ownbey, of the local company would not receive the appointment of major at the hands of Governor Hays, but that Assistant Adjutant Gen eral W. C. Bradford, would fill the vacancy caused by the rejee- tion of Major Leon Smith. who failed to qualify on account Of physical disability.
 For time it was thought eer- tain that Captain W. G. 0wnbeE. of this place, would fill the va cancy, he being the ranking captain of the battalion, and had the appointments been made in the usual military way. and through military channels. Captain Ownbey would have been |appointed. Later developments showed that the appointments were to be made by Gov. HaEs and he showed especial favor toward Major Bradford.
 Major Smith was rejected on his preliminary examination. hut asked waiver from the de- 1partment at Washington This was granted. and he was given q new examination.= but again fail- ed. He WAS notified to this ef- feet Friday. and twas also def Iinitely announced that Major Bradford would receive tie com- mission.
 Major Bradford not total stranger to Springdale= people. and =is by no means stranger to members Of Company A nor to Captain Ownbey. He has been in Springdale on different inspection dates, and is partic- ular friend of Captain Ownbey. He has been connected with the Arkansas National Guards for some time, and has been untir- ing in his efforts to build up the organization in this state. That he received the majorship of the F'rst Battalion of the See ond Regiment, is another high complilnent to his ability, as this battalion ranks as the best bat talon of the entire guard. The battalion k composed of eompan- les \, B, ( and D. \ of Spring dale; 5 of Fayetteville; ( of Dar- Idanelle; and D of Fort Smith.
 Ills acceptance Of the eommis- sion. and appearance at tae mo- bilization camp for active ser vice will relieve Captain Own bey, of this place, of much of the routine camp work that falls to the lot of a major. Captain IOwnbey will then be allowed more time to attend to the af- fairs of the local company.

 10 poor treatment, and short ra- tions. Am doing all I can to as sist the boys.
 The above message was reeeiv- ed al The News office Wednes- day afternoon from Captain Ownbey, and was in answer to inquiry relative to report=cur- rent here Of the drowning of Chas. Odell, a private in the com pany. and who was reported to have lost his life while swimming n Arkansas River Sunday after noon.
 Camp life the past week has been little more than the regular routine. The twenty-five dis charged men left Thursday night at :45 for the home station; and Friday tie company was de- tailed for fatigue duty. This is duty that requires the services of every member of the company with the exception of the com manding officer; the first ser geant; the quarter-master ser geant: the two cooks. and the three men on kitchen detail. Their duty commences at 6:45 in the morning, and Is a general cleaning up of the entire camp; from the headquarters on down. One company ont of the two reg AnentS x defa4led for tbis work each day. The men are divided into squads. under a corporal or sergeant. and their work is in spected after completed. some of tile boys plead sickness, and various other excuses to escape the work, hut few Were saeeess- ful.
 Saturday the boys were sent to the field hospital for the sec ond shot of typhoid fever anti toxin. and outside of a few sore arms. all stood the ordeal fine. Special orders were given that the men he relieved of any duty, and that they remain out of the heat as much as possible. It is no unusual sight to see from eigh' to ten men, out of single com pany suffering from the effects of the administering of the anti toxin. and that the local com pany had such a small amount of sickness k due to their atten- ton 10 orders
 Target practice was started fore part of the week, but was called off on account of the poor condition of the men following the vaccination.
 Rrunors fly thick and fast as to the probable movements of the company, and it was persist ently rumored latter part of the week that. the two regiments would he ordered to entrain for the border within a very short time, but orders were received from the War Department hold ing all men in the mobilization camp, and it is now thought that the troops will be sent home
