Ague in the Water.


In all districts where water Ia
drained through a large amount OF
vegetable matter. especially where the
lands have been recently brought un-
der cultivation. fever and ague and
other intermittent feyers are likely TO
be generated. and ihe germs Of dis
sase are generally taken into the sys-
tenn through the medium of water.
But II those uuacclimatcd would take
the precaution 10 drink only water
that has been boiled. they would very
seldom take these feyers. At n heat

began to feel the effects OF drinking

NORTHERN PACIFIC NEWS.
Interview with Richard Harris of

ST. PAUL, July 27.-Robert Harris of
New York, chairman of the executive
committee of the board of directors of
the Northern Pacific, in an interview
here said, relative to the July meet
ing in New York: 1--WE have not yet
decided just what we shall do, but the
desired end may be reached by the form
alton of Northern Pacific collateral
trust, which wolld operate in this way:
For instance, if money is wanted for i'm
provements, the Tacoma Terminal Com
pany might be organized, which we will
call the Tacoma Terminal Company.
Bonds would be issued and they would
he offered in the market and would be
purchased. Purchasers would ask,
What is the Tacoma Terminal Com
pany? and long-winded explanation
would be required, and before it was half
over the purchaser might be lost. Sup
pose, on the other hand, the Northern
Pacific collateral trust was organized; !;
then when such bonds as those referred
to are issued they could be put into the
trust collateral and bonds of trust offered
for sale. The name would carry weight
with it and the process would be much
simpler.h
