MATTERS- THAT NEED THE DIRECT ATTENTION OF THE AUTHORITIES Some lime has elapsed since the attention of . lire health authorities was called to the slop-ped-up condition of the creek J hat conveys the sewerage of !he city to the Missouri river, and no steps have been taken as yel to have the creek opened up in order to allow, the sewerage lt llow inLo the river and the. stench arising from this stream is something fierce and it is ijuile noticeable from the Burlington depot and is very unhealthy, as well as very dangerous to the public - health and some immediate action should be taken to have the creek opened up. Another mailer thai should be looked after by the public is I he condition of -their wells, as the long dry spell 1ms caused the volume' of water in the wells !o become very low, and as the depth of the water decreases the danger from malaria and typhoid fever increases. as the low condition of Itje water allows I lie Miscast germs to mult inly. and inosc owning wells should take rare t boil all the water used out of them, as it will probably save-a s.ev-re epidemic' of sickness for the families owning the well This. is a small mailer, but if at tended to as it should be will save much unnecessary sicknes and trouble throughout the city.

Saturday night or early Sunday morning gave the lirst in dications of "he breaking of the protracted dry spell, as a very slight, rain fell, and last evening the heavy -clouds gave promise of a downpour, which came across with the goods about ! :."(' with a line raio that fell in a. torrent for about three-quarters of an hour ami brought great relief to the dry and famished earth and greatly cheered the spirits of everyone, who bad- almost given up hopes of it raining at all.
