There are about nine bundred members in the association at the present time, and the number is daily in- creasing. The uttention of the city authorities is called to the fact that in the southern part of the city the drainage from the sewers is rap- {dly accumulating, owing to the fact that In- dian creek wiil not carry it off. This matter should receive the immediate consideration of the city council, as delay for any consider- able length of time is certain to result in an epidemic of vast proportions throughout the city, There 1s no doubt bui thut much of the sickness prevailing at the present time 1 the city is due in a large degree to the ac- cumulation of sewer deposits in Indian creck, and the sooner it is attended to tho better it will be for the Lealth of the city at large. io & Metzger and es- S C.

WELL WATER CAUSING DISEASE, Work Commenced On the Fifth Avenue Motor Line — A Match Race Between Two Dunlap Fly- 1 Personal Jury Empanelled in the Brooks Case, The work of empanelling a jury in the Brooks murder case was resumed yesterday morning. 'The regulur panel was exhausted, and the special venire drawn upon quite heavily, It was a few minutes arter 12 o'clock when the counsel for the defense dvantage of his tenth and last per- emptory challenge, The next man called was excused for cause, but at just 12:30 the jury was complete. Prosecuting Attorney Organ requested the court to place the jury in the hands of a bailiff, but Colonel Dai- ley objected on the ground that it was insulting and unnccessary. The court sustained the objection, and an ad- journment was taken until 2 o'clock, Iu the forenoon, the first matter that came up for consideration was the divorce case of J. P. Madsen vs Carrie 8. Madsen, the decree being asked on the ground thatthe defendant was insano and an inmate of an asylum, Tho decree was granted, and the murder case resunied at 230, An hour and a half was occupied in stating the case to the jury, and at 4 o'clock the firs: withess for the state was called This was Lars farsen, a farmer frim Boomer towship, who saw the shooting of De Goode on the oth «f last March, He stated that he heard the quarrel between George Guanelln and the murdered man, and stepped 1o the door. He saw Brooks, who was leaning against the bur, take his from the pocket of his overcoat, is hanging across his arm. Brooks mn at, il settle it,” held the re- olver to De Goode's head, just back of tne ear, and fired, De Goode fell to the fioor a corpse, But little time was occupied by the state with this witness, when he was turned over to the defense. Colonel Dailey bogan a rigid cross-questioning, which was but fairly sturted when court adjourned at 5 o'clock until 10 this morning. The defendant appeared as much at ease as on the vrevious day, and manifested con- siderable interest in’ the examination, al- though he s ely seemed to realize that he was on trial for his life. His father sat by his side and consuited with him frequently, s did his attorney also, es- pecially while'the jury was being empaneled, he mother and sisters of the accused and several of their lady friends occunied chairs just back of the accused inside the railing. Less intercs) was manifested in the case than on the previous duy, which was notice- able in the del d attendance. The mwa- jority of those who at first expected astonish- ing or sensational features have become sat- isfled that there will be nothing of the kind. It is not another Beechler case, and the majority of people have none other than a pussing interest in it. The sporting fra- ternity is well represented in the court room, and whe indications aro that this class will increase in proportion during the remainder of the trial. T G. Mottaz, Tel, 1 -~ Impure Well Water, Attention has been called to one fact rela- tive to the diphtberia cases in tho eastern portion of the city, and that is that of eight cases in a certain district, all but one of the familics are usitg well water. Some of them have city water in their houses, but use well water for drinking purposes, thinking it is better. Whether or not there is any connee- tion between the use of the water and the sicknoss in theso families, it is hard to say. The attention of one of the physicians of the ty was called to the matter yesterday and hisopinion solicited. Said he: ‘It would be difficult to state without a further examination just what there is in the case, but L am inclined to think that there may be some conncction. Now, I have several cases in_ the southern part of tho city, of real old-fashioned ague—the first T have had for two or three years. There seems to bo a regular littie nest of it thero, and I inquired about the water, learning that it was obtained froma well. Judge of my surprise when the woman admitted that the ter was rather poor, and that a few even- ings before her stomach would not retain it, and she had to throw it up, ‘but,’ she added, ‘smce then I have strained iv, and we have managed to keep it down.’ ho told it in all earncstness, and seemed to think that she was entitled to great credit for straining the stuff that was so impure that she could not drink it without. I am positive that the water iu that instance is responsible for the but, T don’t seo why another well, a it away, should give everybody diphitheria. Still, this may be the case, I believe that there are a greut many impure wells 1o the city, and that many of them are breeding sickness, Notwithstand- ing the kicks thut are made against the city water, I find less bad results from using it than from these wells,” - Broadway, Fine dressed o C. B. Music ( Extending the Motor Line, Work was commenced yesterday morning tearing up the paving at the corner of Pearl street ond Fifth avenue, for the purpose of putting the switches for the transfer line, A double switch connecting with both the tracks of the Pearl street line will be used 80 that about fifty feet of Fifth avepnue will also be occupied by a double track, and the remainder with a single track. Switches aad turnouts will be put in_every 5,500 feet, 50 us 1o give a ten minute service, The line runs west on Fifth avenue to Twenty-first street, and south on Twenty-first street to the transfer. A switch will be putin on ifth avenue between Thirteenth and Four- teenth streets, and on Twenty-first strect between Iighth and Niuth avenues. A ten minute service will give this part of the city ample fucilities for travel, and the cars wiil run up Broadway and around the Pierce street loop, Gencrally speaking, this will be a local line, and 1ts trains will run between the transfer uud Upper Broadway, but some of the trains, which connect with the incom- ing trains on the various railroads will bo run direct to Omaha. Itis aso intended to run a line grom this one, either up Sixteenth or Twenty-first street to the main line on Avenuo A, but that line will not be built this fall, unless the weather continues favorable until quite late, and its service would be slower, cousisting chiefly of the through trains to Omaha from the transfer. But few men are at work on the Fifth avenue extension us yet, owing to the non- rival of waterial, but as soon as it arrives the forco will be incroused, and the work pushed rapidly to completion, - - Fiuest market 1 eity—J.

As stated in yesterday’s Bee, the newly organized Gas and Electric Light company has been negotiating for the purchase of the plaots and franchises of all opposing com- panies in that lioe in the city, aud it now ap- pears that the deals have been consummated. At 1:45 o'clock yesterday afternocn a first wmortgage of the Council Bluffs Gas Light compuny to the American Loan and Trust company, of New York, for 850,000, w filed with the county recorder, It was signed by the Conncil Biiffs Gas Light com- lter 8.

According to the tezms of their contract the Sperry company must be ready for Lusiness by the 14th of Decembor, and as they would be compelled 1o build an entire new plant and erect new lines of wire, it is hardly possible that they could bo reddy in time.~ In view of this stato of affuirs, it is very probable thut they will conclude to dis- pose of their franchise to the new compan; The new company will have the field to itself, for a while ut least, but the restric- tions imposed by the council will. secure reasonable rates for lighting.

Richmond, of Lee county, a leading democrat, passed through the city en route to sce Chairman Barbour. He states that the democrats in that large section are without erganization, while Ma- hone has perfected a novel and strong work- ing force. This consists of what are called “night forest meeting: 'ho membership of each forest precinet is divided into forest clans, and they meet in no houses, but at night in the woods. They have no chairman or head and no speech-making, but simply talk over the situation and report upon new material in the way of men newly seen, The southwest is thoroughly worked up in this way in the interest of Mahone.

His reputation is this respect has resulted in his having a rave collec- tion of photographs of bubies, Nearly every day’s mail brings to the white house a number of letters inclosing vhotographs of infants. They repre- sent babies in varieties = enough for a modern baby show. The photos are all of boy babies, and the letters announce that their names are Benjamin Harrison Smith, Jones or Robinson, ete., ete. Sometimes there are a pair of twins, Then the name is either divided between them or one is named after the presidentand the other after the vice president, The other day I picked up & bundle of these pho- tos off the mantel in the white house and counted them, They were just fow that bad been snapped together with a rubber band. There were ty-three of them and twa pairs of twins.

They are represented in a variety of attitudes and in various stagesof naked- ness. They vary in apparent nge from afow months to but a few days. Some- times the infant's photogreaph is accom- }uwi-wd by that of the mother, or both ather and mother, One infant chewing the end of an American flag, Another is dressed in a_ Continental uniform, though he hasto be held in an upright position to show it. Another has not anything on worth mentioning, and is making a critieal examination of the soies of both his feet at the same time—a thing he accomplishes by bow- ing the legs out and turning tho feet inward, Thero is nothing es- pecially fancy about any of them. The are a matter-of-fact lot of youngstere, who appear to be entirely irresponsiblo for either their existence or the am- bitwous journey of their photographs to the white house.

Within ten years cattle have de- creased in value about 40 per cent, yet strange to say the consumor of beef must pay the same rates which formerly oblained, says the Nebraska Farmer. In all citics,of ony size in the west the home market for beef has been wiped ~ out of existence, with the result thatif a farmer has fat cattle to sell they must be sent to Chicago or Kansas City for a market, yet thou- sands of people are daily consuming great quantities of beef in the very towns adjacent to those farms, and are paying high rates for such meat. This condition of affairs is brought about by the combination of men who control the dressed beef industr The fact that they buy beef and dress it for sale does not explain this condition of affairs by any means, but the carefully anged plans and bulldozing methods of the combine does explain it. If butchers refuse to buy the dressed beef and announce that they will purchase from the farmers direct, the monopoly at once establishes branch markets and cuts the price down until the men who seek to doan honest business and buy of the farmerse are driven out of the business. Then the price isat once put back. When the butcher sees ruin staving him in the fuce., he succumbs to the inevitable and buys beef from the combination. Only last week a leading Shorthorn breeder hod as fine o lot of steers to dis- pose of as we have ever seen, Learning that he was intending to ship to Chicago, and having in mind the ur certain quality of meat sold on thi market, we asked him why he did not sell here. He replied that there was no market. The price was so low that he could not sell on the home mariet. The bulldozing practices of the com- bine have throttled completely the market for stock raised even in this county with a city of 40,000 inhabitants within its borders. The World's Cheapest Not far from the Rue restaurant that has few It is the cheapest place in Paris, and 1] means in the world. 1 once had the honor to entertuin & Whyo king, since hanged, 1n one of the chief Chat- ham street eating-hous a Paris letter to the New Orl ‘Wyho had what he 0 good feed,” and the bill, I think, was 14 cents. But the Paris restauraut is much cheaper. It enjoys the title “*Au Hasard de la Fourchette.” In a huge caldron hangs over a fire, It filled with all sorts and conditions of catables, The customer pays 3 cents to the burly gentleman whois in charge. He receives in return a huge long- handied fork. This he plunges into the pot once—no move. I did not try my luck, but I found it interesting to watch those who did. It was a peculiar game of chance, and those who played it showed more interest in it than you can see on the faces of the gamblers at Monaco. Sometimes a Jucky one would Dbring up a chicken wing or a substan- tial chunk of meat, and thercon his face would light. But more often the fork would come up laden with only a potato or some ir wrticle, However, that madr e. The player had to be satistied with his win- nings or he would travel to the street with - more veloci than comfort, Altogether the “Fork Hazard” is a queer place and is worth sceing. -~ At the rislc of provoking asmile at our simplicity, we will relate that long years ago, when wo thought that great men, if they spealc ut all, always speak words of wisdom, suys a writer 1n the Christian Advo- cate, we followed Tennyson, who was ac- companied by a_lady and two children, about the South Keusington Museum for two hours and a half, hobing that he would speak. At last he'made signs us if about to doso, Hoping to hear some criticism of a painting we lstened intently, and these memorable woras fell from the lips of Eng- land’s poet laureate: *You take caro of the children while I go and get some beer."” R-staurant.
