EFFECT OF HARRIMAN'S ILLNESS FELT (By United Press.) NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Here is Henry Clews' report on the situa tion arising from Harrlman's ill ness: "A marked change has taken place In speculative sentiment. This was brought about by the dis appointing condition of Mr. Harrl man's health after a trip abroad, the special purpose of which was its restoration. The reaction be gan in Union Pacific and quickly extended to the remainder of the market. Stocks which suffered most were those that previously led the advance. It was evident that the market was ripe for a ra tion, and this fact had as much to do with the declines as Mr. Harrl man's health, concerning which there was really nothing new to the well Informed. Nevertheless, the Importance of Mr. Harrlman as a factor in the stock market cannot be disputed. For a long time he has been the dominating element in the speculative arena, but his op erations in this field are now un doubtedly closed, and it is in tills quarter that his withdrawal from active affairs will be most noticea ble In the public eye. As to the pol icies regarding his great railroad systems, these are already well es tablished, and will probably be con tinued with but slight modifica tions by thoroughly competent suc cessors." TOLD TRUTH ABOUT "TRUTH" Pleading guilty to a charge of violating the city ordinance by dis tributing papers on the street, Silas Delaware, a constant attendant at Christ's mission, in the Coeur d'Alene alley, wan fined $1 and costs.

One woman was kindly reminded to took In her cupboard for rotten meat when she called up the health office regarding the matter. The stench la wafted by the breezes for several blocks about the sewer manhole at the corner of Main avenue and Madelia street, and the green flies are swarming in masses about it. Conditions al most as bad exist at the corner of Pittsburg and Main, Magnolia and Main, Magnolia and Riverside and Napa and Riverside. Here a half dozen little children, knowing nothing of the dangers from disease in, which they were placing them selves, sat about with rocks and sticks, gleefully slaughtering the black masse* of flies as they gath ered thickly about %he sidewalk above the sewer. Stanton Is declared to have vio lated the cty's orders and his own agreement In dumping anything but water from his slaughter house into the sewer and that now the drain from his slaughter house will be shut off from the city's main line. Residents of this district were guaranteed a sanitary sewerage system, they declare, but condi tions for the last 10 days have been far woree that they were ever be fore. With the proper atention from the health department, which but a few months ago was compelled to call on the city for an appropria tion of thousands of dollars to bat tle a scarlet fever epidemic, start ed with just such unsanitary con ditions as these, this trouble could have been averted to a great de gree.
