CLEAN UP CAMPAIGN
ON IN FULL FORCE-

HV1 F.N F<m DISPOSING OF
RUBBISH FOH WAGONS TO
'WAY.REPORT OF WARD COMMITTEE
With the committees for the four
wards already active in their .cam-
paigt. tor better sanitary conditions,
and the business men visited
stowing a perfect willingness to co-
operate in the effo»t to bring about
a cleaner Deuton, it seems that the
campaign is making rapid progress
toward the desired end. Mayor
Bates, in discussing the work now
i.eing done and the work, to be done
in :!ie t lean-up days April 14 to 16,
mentioned some rules that he con
5idered would expedite (he work
considerably.
• We hare now at work four good,
energetic committees " he stated.
One for each ward of the town,
w ho are doing all they can to arouse
the people to a sense of the duty
that they owe their families and
tlieir neighbors. Hut unless the
whole citfienshiV (fefs bu»y . |cnd
do their part, the work will be a
comparative failure. Small pox
and other riseases are not respecters
of persons, and unsanitary condi-
tions make them more virulent and
harder to stamp out.
If we are going to be content to
let filthiness prevail around our
premises, we must pay the price;
■B» not deceived, tor whatsoever ye
sow. that shall ye also reap.’ We
want everyone to get busy now."
FOl-RfTH WARD INSI’E< T1ON.
The clean-up committee assigned
to the fourth ward began active
work Tuesday morning on the west
side of the square and the most
gratifying results were reported. In
speaking of the work accomplished
the chairman of the committee went
on to say:
Marchants Anxious to Co-operate.
"Every merchant and business
man in that section fronting on the
square, back of the west side and
on the south side of West Oak and
i he west side of South Elm. was vis
it+d. and to a man there was not a
one who was not only willing, but
eager to co-operate with the com-
mittee by doing his part, and as-
sisting in any possible way. A num-
ber said they had already made
plans for a thorough clean-up, and
others said they meant no. only to
■ lean up but to stay’ clean every day
in the year. ‘
■ The committee distributed post
, rs which asked that where i«>sslble
certain things in the way of im-
rovement be done and all signed
the posters and hung them in con-
spicuous places in order that the
public might know of thqir willing-
ness to assist in the work.
"The committee helping in the
work is in no way dictating, but
suggesting to people who have been
coo busy to think about or set some
of the conditions, or to some who
have probably been a little thought-
less However, the spirit in which
the suggestions were taken was
such as to make the committee feel
that at the close of the clean-up
contest the fourth <ward or at
least the business part 01 it, will be
the cleanest in town.
"Of course it won’t do for the
business man to be cleaner than the
housekeepers, so it behooves every
resident in the fourth ward to see
that his or her home place is in a
neat and sanitary condition
In the Bk*dd<*ice Section.
"The committee drove over the
residence section of the fourth ward
Tuesday afternoon, and while there
ar„ many places that are In excel
lent condition there are It) any that
are not. It warf good to see that in
many places the residents appre-
ciate the offer of the city to haul
off any rubbish that can't be burn-
ed. and already have tow-sacks and
other receptacles ready for the city
wagons when they start on their
rounds next Monday. It might be
said that while some places are free
from cans and papers, that there
are many places whose sightliness
is marred by dilapidated out-houges
that might be repaired and painted
or whitewashed at small expense,
and there are many fences that ar*
in suCh a condition that they can
not serve any purpose and should
be knocked down and used for fuel.
Back Alleys and St aide-yards.
There are many back alleys and
stable-yards in the most thickly
settled portion of the ward where
the manure-piles and dirty stalls
are a menace to the comfort and
health of a half-dozen families in
their vicinities. Medical authorities
have proved that not only is the
housefly a serious danger to health
in the carrying of typhoid and Oliv-
er germs, but that th« horse- or
s’able -fly is the carrier of that
dread disease, jinfantjb? paralysis,
which causes, it has been discover-
ed, most of the deformities and af-
flictions of childhood, some of
which they suffer during their
whole life-time. It should be of
Interest to every person that ther*
are no breeding and feasting places
o- the death-bringing stable-fly.
The small branches and ditches
running through th«> f< urth ward
ar* In a most unsightly as well a*
most unsanitary condition. There
seems to be prevalent an idea that
ditches should be filled up with tin
cans and other rubbish. This i» a
mistaken Idea, and far better would
it be to leave them-open, as they
are the. natural drains, and should
be kept clean. The tin cans, be-
bid«Mr being unsightly, hold water
which furnishes a breeding place
for mosquitoes apd^ germs
Streets V«ed for Dumping Ground*.
“It was found, too, that the
streets around the Odd Fellow*'
cemetery have been used for dump-
ing grounds and the proper author-
ities should see that they are clean-
ed and that the practice Is stopped
It mfeht be mentioned here that W.
B. MeClurkM. a member of the
committee and al«o a member of
♦he City Council, urges that espe-
cially should everybody help Just
now to gat hauled off every bit of
trash that won't burn, aa the city
now has a place to use for dumping
grounds and there la no excuse for
disfiguring the ditches and unfre-
quented streets about the town.
“In some places there are dead
trees that should be cut down and
Probably gome one would do the
work for the wood they contain, in
Other places there are half-burned
houses that should be torn down
and cleared away, and as in the
case of the trees, this might be done
by some one for the good lumber
they contain. The churches were
not forgotten by the committee, and
their condition will be reported to
those having supervision, but it is
evident that their \ oongregatious
have not been viewing their prem-
ises from all sides, and with the
Idea of improvipg their sightliness
and sanitation. It is safe to say
though, that their conditions will
be bettered at once.
"This cleaning is hoped to be
made an affair of city-wide inter-
est, with the committee playing on-
ly a small part, and if any person
sees a place he thinks should be at-
tended to he should appoint him-
self a committee of one to take
the matter up with the proper au-
thorities or, if it ’is report d to the
clears up committee they will be
glad to do anything they can in the
matter ”’LEAN-1 I’ WAGONS, AT YVtIBK
EARLY MONDAI MORNING.
With the wagons ut work by 7
o'clock Monday morning, hundreds
of pounds of in destructible rubbish
including thousands of tin cans,
bundles of old wire, old shoes,
pieces of machinery and vehl< les,
and other trash of all sorts were
hauled off by the teams employed
or the clean-up Monday, and the
work was continued through Tues-
day and Wednesday.
Householders in practii-ally every
purl of tlie lily worked Friday and
Saturday or earlier getting their
indestructible* piled up and placed
In sacks or barrels for removal by
the clean-up wagons Vacant lots
were rak"d and cleared of weeds,
under houses were >w ept and brush-
ed and the accumulation of months
gathreed ready foi disposition.
By !' o'clock Monday many streets
had been cleared of the ungainly
piles of rubbish receptacles as the
wagons made their rounds, hay
frames piled high above the teams
to dispense with too frequent vis-
its to the dump grounds by adding
to the capacity of the wagons.
The ladies of the four clean-up
committees worked "like Trojans"
all during last week, making per-
sonal inspection trips all over their
respective wards, especially re-
questing the aid of business houses
in making the clean-up thorough,
and making suggestions to facili-
tate th.- work of householders.NEWS FROM THE POST SIGNAL

Dr. Turner was given a thorough
cross-examination. In response to
various questions he replied that
various acts of Mrs. Flanary at the
time of the killing might have been
done by an insane person, but he
said that all actions taken together
as outlined by state's attorneys, his
opinion was she was not Insane.
He baaed his conclusion, he said,
from experience in treating from
12,000 to 15,000 cases of various
forms of insanity. He advanced hi*
theory that all persona were not In-
