among the young, and In Minnesota 1t Is
shown that the principal number of deaths
take place among persons who have entered
the State but recently with constitutions al
ready undermined by disease. The very
singular fact is shown that in total of o
little over six thousand ia the cities making
report there were nearly two hundred sui
cides This seems to indicate most alarms
ing condition of things--a fact that is not
pleasant to contemplate, for it shows that
the suicidal mania is spreading with almost
epidemic rapidly.
These reports, though long delayed, will
be valuable to the public, for they will serve
to show the public where health may best be
maintained. The only objection we have to
them is that they do not embrace larger
area Of Minnesota. With full and compare
tive reports no better emigration pamphlet
Guild be circulated by the residents here,
for they prove conolusively that our claim to
an exceptional climate aud lover death
rate than any other State in tho country is
not an idle boast.

WaSHBURN's FRAUD PERCEIVED.
Wien the GLOBE first exposed the fraud
which Bill Washburn was endeavoring to
psrpetrate under the guise of building a
railroad from White Bear to Taylors Falls,
q good many people, especially at Taylors
Falls, were inclined to differ with the view
presented. Their anxiety for railroad led
them to overlook the fact that Washburn
was simply preying upon them, and that his
services wore not necessary to secure the
railroad.
The people of Saltwater have taken to
holding indignation meetings over the direct
blow to their interests which Washburn mod
estly asks them to give bonus for. They,
like the GLOBE, favor a road to Taylors
Falls, but they do not sustain the cut throat
game of the speculator, Bill Washburn.
They propose to shut off his imposition upon
the people, by favoring the extension of the
st. Paul, Saltwater & Taylors Falls road to
the latter point. This is the line
which the GLOBE told the people
Of Taylors Falls they could
secure, and the agitation already in progress
shows more immediate prospect for the
completion than even the most sanguine
could have anticipated.
Even the Minneapolis morning paper
(printed In st. Paul. has fallen to condemn
ing, in q mild-hearted manner, the tricky
schemes of Bill Washburn to destroy
all other localities to build
up his own petty burgh. The
mark is pretty thoroughly off, and instead of
being public benefactor, as was intimatel,
he IL beginning to be understood and taken
at his real value, instead of at what he esti-
mates himself.

The others we're saved with dicfiulty.
Frank ENEMY, of La Crosse, aged Is. was
badly trampied upon by horses the other day
in his fathers livery stable. He had one

The wife Of Horace Gould, living near
Menominee, tried to elope with former
lover the other day. She was prevented, and
now she refuses to live with Horace Gould
aforesaid.
During the past three weeks no less than
thirteen families have been poisoned in the
city of Racine, but none of them fatally.
The poisoning seems to he caused by eating
pressed corn beef.
The other day, through gross carelessness,
tug cOllided with schooner off Racine.
The schooner was considerably damaged,
and commenced to leak, and was taken to
Milwaukee for repairs.
The farewell reception rendered ~ Rev.
+. Il. Rossiter and wife, of the First Prasby-

A son of President Whitford, of Milton,
discharged, by careless handling,a pistol into
his hand, the other day. The ball went into
the bone of his thumb and lodged in his
wrist. A surgeon probed the wound and
cut open the wrist, but did not find the ball.
Some hundred Danes of the Danish So
ciety, had picnic at Racine the other day.
A hundred kegs of beer were consumed.
Curt Treat, editor of the Daily Neaos, was
struck in the back of the head by a glass

Crowley. In the evening the streets were
full of drunken Danes.
The excitement and war between the sa-
loon men of Racine and the city in regard
to the matter of closing their places of bust
ness at II o'clock P. NJ. is becoming more in
teresting every day, as some of the liquor
sellers are bound they will not comply with
the law, claiming that they pay their license
and ought to be allowed to keep open twen-
ty-four hours. Several liquor sellers have
been arrested and fined for violating the
ordinance.

THE MORTALITY REPORTS

The national board of health is, after all,
OF some consequence. 1t has undertaken
the compilation of mortuary statistics, and,
though its publication is, like all official re-
ports proceeding from Washington, greatly
delayed, it is nevertheless interesting as
showing where health may best be found.
The report for the week ending on July 26
Is before us, and contains some interesting
facts OF which the public ought to he iu-
formed.
In tho cities with population exceeding
hundred thousand the percentage Of deaths
Is much larger than in cities of less popula-
ton. The healthiest towns are those rang
ing in population from twenty to sixty thou
sand. In sectional view the West ia ,nuch
healthier than the South or East. In
New England especially the death rate
is large, particularly among children, and
the singular fact is noted that in cities IL the
West mostly settled by New Englanders there
is nearly the same proportion of infantile
mortality. This is due mainly, an eminent
physician declares, to the treatment to which
the mothers subject themselves, entailina
upon their offspring physical debility and
suffering West of the Allegheny noun
tains except in the larger cities, an improve
ment is manifest. These sections beinc
more cosmopolitan are apparently endowed
with harder constitutions. The highest
state of health seems to have been attained
in Minnesota. In st. Faul for the week re-
ferred to the deaths numbered only Ten.
while in Minneapolis there we're only eioh-
teen-a small proportion indeed when com
pared with cities of like -pralsssti.ss - ssi,s
East. The largest proportional death raSe is
in the District of Columbia.
Besides climatic conditions there are o3her
causes that no doubt contribute, he death
roll. Foreigners are as ri eslthler
than people of native birth. The mothers
of America are less heavy than their sisters
Of Europe and entail their own weaknesse 4
upon their children. Families among Amer
leans are smaller than among foreigner;
averaging nor more than three each. North
of the forty-second parallel Of Latitude
there is less sickness and fewer deaths,

HARVEST FESTIVAL.
The First of the Season to be Held at Has.
tings.

Vn0 tlfSC OF the season to be Held at Has.
tings.
Arrangements have been consummated
for the first Minnesota harvest festival, to be
held at Hastings, under the auspices of the
German society, on the 18th day of the pres.
emit month. The festival will be held on the
beautiful grounds known as Busch's grove
and, in addition to the other attractions, it ia
expected that the occasion will be sipnalizei
by the rendition of musical programme of
more than ordinary excellence.
Among the societies participating will be
the German and Maennerchor singing or
CARNATIONS of this city, and the Great Union
band, in addition to which the managers
hope to procure the active cooperation of
the musical societies of Hastings. The
.commodious and newly renovated steam
boat, the Aunt Betsy, accompanied by q
roomy barge, will leave the lower levee at
$50 o'clock A. NJ, and the managers have
wisely limited the number of persons to
four hundred passengers.
The excursionists will arrive at Hastings
at II o'clock A. NJ, when recess of two
hours will be taken in order to allow the
visitors an opportunity OF seeing the city.
AZ o'clock the line of march will be taken
up for the ground, where the afternoon will
90 taken up by the observance Of the I'D
mirably arranged programme. Returning.
the visitors will leave Hastings At o,clocf

Mine.
Virginia New Chronicle.l
At the Julia mine, last Wednesday, pow
erful stream of hot water was struck in the
crosscut on the two thousand feet level. A
Burleigh drill was set to drill hole IN the
face of the crosscut at point about two
feet from the bottom. When tho drill had
advanced about two feet into the rock, a
tremendous burst Of hot water from the hole
occurred. The stream was equal to twenty
four miners inches, and was scalding hot,
it was spouted to the distance of several feet
diagonally across the drift, spreading as it
flew till all the open space was filled with
the scalding spray and steam. The steam
also filled the end of the crosscut where the
man who had been running the drill stood.
He was held close prisoner, as he could
not pass out through the jets of boiling
water, and even in his prison was in danger
of being suffocated and cooked by the
steam and heat He would probably not
have escaped alive but for the drill. He
opened the exhaust valve and allowed the
whole head of compressed air to rush out in
full and steady stream, and this not only
furnished him pure air to breathe, but also
cooled and protected his head and the whole
upper part of his body. His fellow work
men were soon aware Of his perilops posi-
tion-for the roar and rpsh Of water could
be heard . great distance but they could no
moro pass into where he was than he could
pass out.
Finally the men went ont and procured
some heavy gum boots reaching to his hips
and Urge and heavy gum coats. Guarded
by these one of the men dashed in. through
the steam and scalding spray, Carrying to
heavy gnm clothing Tho paif rushed forth

BEAcoNsF1ELp's rose.t tinted picture of the
condition of affairs in the British empire, as
delivered at the lord mayors banquet on
Wednesday is, unhappily, borne out by the
facts. The disaster in Zuulaud, which he
treats so lightly, have done more to tarnish
the British name than any occurrence of the
present century. If the matter is of 80 little
consequences and tne solution so easily ar
rived at, as the premier pretends, it ought to
have been settled long ago.
