Odor of Stock Yards Endangers Health of All.

The editor of The Republican visited the section of Rensselaer that was flooded because of the inadequacy of the Make-’em-Self sewer, and conditions there are very deplorable. Probably forty or fifty homes on the south side of the railroad were surrounded by water and now that the water is subsiding there is a terrible odor, which comes from the filth from the railroad stock yards. The stench of pig pens is so great that the entire ity gets the odor and it is almost impossible to live in some of the houses where the odor is the worst. The water continues to flow from the north side through the tile under the railroad and the sewers seem able to take care of all the water that is coming now. but the drying process is very slow. There is a considerable discussion as to which is the best means of relieving the condition that prevails. It is plain that the overflow is caused by the water which drains from the farms rkorth of the railroad and which poured sheets of water into the city as a result of the big rains. Efforts to drain the Amsler, Minnear and Jackson farms by way of the Coen and Maxwell ditches have not proved adequate and it is necessary to establish drainage that will take care of this water. Some favor making and maintainnig an open drain over the Make-’em-Self sewer. This would carry water only during the time of excessive rains. It would be undesirable so long as the filth from the stock pens is carried by this means. Mayor Spitler believes that the natural drainage would be to make a big sewer south on Scott street to the river near the Kresler ice pond. This would take care of some low places in the east part of town that could not be reached by east and west drainage, but the objections offered is that it would dump all the filth above the city. Others favor running a big sewer west about a half block north of and paralleling the Monon railroad and emptying either into the Maxwell ditch or the lower end of the Make-’em-Self. It is probable that an expert sewage engineer will be secured to figure this out and that steps will be taken at once to provide against the terrible conditions that have caused so much inconvenience, ruined gardens and lawns and endangered the health of so many people. Dr. Gwm, city health officer, visited the worst districts Monday and scattered lime along the ditches and about the hohses. Much more should be used and one citizen today asked The Republican to suggest that a carload of lime should be purchased and used as a precaution against sickness.

Band Boys to Tag You At Wednesday Night Concert.

The band is not receiving sufficient money from the pledges to sustain itself and it has been decided to tag all who attend the concert Wednesday night of this week, provided they contribute something. The concerts are greatly appreciated, the band is making splendid music and they have not made a public appeal for a long time and all should cheerfully give liberally. Slip a dollar in your pocket when you go to the band concert Wednesday evening and give it to any member of the band who wants to put a tag on you. It is a deserving contribution and you should help. Come out, enjoy one of the best concerts ever given in Rensselaer and pay whatever you wish, being just as liberal as you can, for the band sure needs the money.

We have in stock a large supply of twine and a number of binders. HAMILTON & KELLNER. A. Leopold returned yesterday from a visit of several days with his daughter, Mrs. Leo Wolf, in Hammond, and his sister, Mrs. E. Smith, in Chicago. Mrs. Alfred Copas and daughter, Miss Violet, returned to Belvedere, HI., today, after a visit of two weeks with the former’s sister, Mrs. J. W. Spate and family, at Newland. Rev. W. N. Sherrill, of Cherubusco, was here this week to look after his 20-acre farm, which formerly belonged to W. R. Nowels, near the Grooms bridge. Rev. Sherrill l>as been suffering some from eczema, one of his hands being afflicted. Firman Thompson has . started wheat threshing on his farm and where the wheat had bteen m the shock during the heavy rains it is said to be very damp and to grade off considerably. Eugene Kirk also started threshing and with similar results. A number of farmers are said to be able to get into the fields of wheat and oats today with binders and if we can have several days of dry weather it is the opinion of gram dealers that the damage will not be so i jrreat as at first figured, but it is probable that most of the wheat which would grade as No. 2 if dry will grade down to No. 3 and 4 and bring from 15 to 20 cents per bushel below the No. 2 price. W. C. Babcock, of the firm of Babcock & Hopkins, has been about the county considerably and is of the opinion that the corn has not suffered a loss of more than 15 per cent and possibly not more than 10 per cent. Only the low fields that were under water are seriously damaged.

CORNER IS LONG DISPUTED

Tract Waged Before Rebellion and For Year* Afterward. In the early colonial days, when the Puritan commonwealth of Massachusetts claimed "everything from Cape Cod westward to the western ocean,” there was a little tract known as Boston Comer, over which a question of Jurisdiction was waged by New York. Ten years before the revolutionary war the two colonies appointed commissioners to fix upon a mutually acceptable boundary line, but after long negotiation, while they came near enough to agree upon a starting line, they could not decide whether or not It should parallel the Hudson river, and finally gaVe it up. After the war the controversy was renewed and was referred to Congress, and this time a boundary was definitely fixed, beginning at a point on the MassachusettsConnecticut line, twenty miles from the Hudson, and extending northwestward In a straight line parallel with the general .trend of the river. This line followed closely the western slope of the Taconlc mountains, leaving the valley lands in New York state. At the southwest angle, however, the mountains receded and left about 300 acres of bottom land In Massachusetts. This section was Inaccessible from the eastern side of the mountains, and in time its people bore an unenviable reputation for lawlessness, and Boston Corner, as It was known, became the resort of all manner of lawbreakers. Its inhabitants did not vote, and the tax collector left them severely alone. Matters grew wdrse till 1853, when John Morlrssey, the famous pubilist, afterward serving in congress, fought weight championship of the world. These was a general melee over the result of thlsrflght. Puritan Massachusetts rose In Indignation. The state assembly had been considering the organization of a special police for Boston Comer, but in 1854 the knot was cut by the legislature ceding some 8,000 acres of lang, which included Boston Comer, to the state of New York. And New York accepted the gift. Boston Comer is now peaceful and law abiding, a different class of people having replaced those of the ’6os, and the only evidence remaining may be seen by noticing the map of Massachusetts which shows the southwest comer chopped off at an angle.

Our Chemical Relation to Life

Our most constant and vital relation to the world without is a chemical one. We can go without food for some days, but we can exist without breathing only a few moments. Through these spongy lungs of ours we lay hold upon the outward world in the most intlbate and constant way. Through them we are rooted to the air. The air Is a mechanical mixture of two very unlike gases—nitrogen and oxygen; one very inert, the other very active. Nitrogen Is like a cold-blooded, lethargic person —it combines with other substances very reluctantly and with but little energy. Ogygen Is just its opposite in this respect; it gives Itself freely; It Is “Hall, fellow; well met!” with most substances, and It enters into co-partnership with them on such a large scale that it forms nearly one-half of the material of the earth's crust. This Invisible gas, this breath of air, through the magic of chemical combination, forms nearly half the substance of the solid rocks. Deprive it of Its affinity for carbon, or substitute nitrogen or hydrogen in its place, and the air would quickly suffocate us. That changing of the dark, venous blood in our lungs into the bright, red, arterial blood would instantly cease. Fancy the sensation of inhaling an odorless, non-poisonous atmosphere that would make One gasp for breath! We should be quickly poisoned by the waste of our own bodies. All things that live must have oxygen, and all things that bum must have oxygen. Oxygen does not burn, but it supports combustion.—John Burroughs, In Harper’s Magazine.

Ancients Knew About Mustard

Mustard us one of the most ancient medicines. Pythagoras, who flourished between five and six hundred years before Christ, mentions it. Hippocrates, who was bom in 460 B. C., employed it. Pliny, the elder, writing In 77 A. D. t describes three different kinds of mustard and says the seeds were Imported to Italy from Egypt originally. The Romans used it as a stimulant after a cold bath; they mixed mustard oil and olive oil in equal parts and used this as a liniment for stiffness of the muscles. They knew the virtues of mustard poultices and of mustard as an emetic. As a remedy for the stings of scorpions and serpents they pounded it, mixed it with vinegar and applied It to the wound. They also made a drink out of it, fermenting the seed in a fiery spirit The liquor thus produced they called mustum ardens, which means burning wine. The word mustard Is probably derived from this.
