Typhoid is now known to be a distinct
ively "fJIth disease" arising from the
aeeamolation of carbaze and refute
"matter, stagnant pools and an nnwhole
tome water supply. The typhoid
microbe finds itt most conzeniul habi
tat in ihe water of the surface wells and
filthy cistern system of the misKoverned
cities of thit country. Decaying vege
tation ia also a prolific source of typhoid
malaria in the country districts. A
thorough system of drainage lias been
demonstrated to be the beat protection
against the ravages of this malady.
Statistics show that in , the city of
Frankfort, Germany, in 1866, the mor
tality from this disease alone amounted
to 80.2 per eent for 100,000 inhabitants.
In 1891 a -thorough system of drainage
and sanitation had reduced the death
rate to 6 per cent, and in 1893 the
mortality was reduced as low as 4.6 per
cent. Our city is in need of a better
dtainase system.. The health of the
people of Independence is of more iin
portance than anything else, and
would be wise on tbe part of our city
council to look closely into the sanitary
conditions of tbe city. Good roads, well
graded streets are important adjuncts
to the upbuilding of town, and should
be encouraged so far as existing finan

It is tbe contention of those who op
poee the rehabilitation of silver that in
recent years the production of this
metal has increased out of all proportion
to the production of gold. If the coin-4,-e
pf the white metal is not limited, it
ia said, the money supply will be far in
exeets of the needs of trade, and the
country will be flooded with a depred
ated currency. In 1800 the United

Mrs. H. A. Adkins, county
president, then gave her annual
address in which she reported the
unions at Falls City, Rickreall,
Monmouth, Independence and
Cochrane, alive and at work. She
said, "Our women work better than
they report; that while the reports
were often discouraging it waa
found upon investigation that our
unions are unconsciously to them
selves, moulding public sentiment
for temperance that would last
while time should last." We may
not individually have accomplished
much during the year, but when
we gather up the fragments, it will
be seen that we have left our im
press not alone on the sands of
time, but on the minds of men and
women, bhe said the bars were
being let down for us everywhere
and all we had to do was to go in
and possess tbe land provided we
went about it with the same tact,
perseverance and energy that we
do any other transaction. But, as

law breakers ourselves but we

earnest appeal for more aggressive

Second day.
April 6, 10 a. m. Convention
called to order by the president,
Mrs. Adkins. Devotions led by
Mrs. Stoner. Mrs. Crow, county
evangelist, gave a good report of
eyangelistic work. Mrs. Stoner,
local president, read an excellent
report from the Rickreall union,
whicb showed that they were alive
to the work. Mrs. Kinney gave a
short talk on franchise. She Fpent
about five minutes in making the
Eubject so plain that if there were
any doubting Thomases present
their doubts were all swept away.
Mrs. Adkins gave a report on press
work, which showed a better feel
ing on the part of our county
editors towards the admittance of
W. C. T. U. items to the columns
of their papers. She reported that

Tbe order had a noble history aud its
bem lieiuries were relieving the wants
of tuouHiiuds. The speaker predicted
a Mill grander future for the order.
Very pertinent and appropriate re
marks were made by W. 1. Connaway,
1. W. Haley and J. P. Irvine. Mifg
Fannie Orr, of lUcltreal I, recited "the
