New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1889-10-16

Ex-Congressman Steele, of Indiana,
seems to stand in good way of securing
the pension commissionership
Col. Bobleter recently recounted his
various hunting experiences throughout
the state A sample runs in this line:
Il was hunting sand hill cranes in
the southwestern part of the state and
had winged fine specimen. MY dog,
Juno III. went for the bird, but as it
showed fight, could do nothing for me.
I chased around for six hours, but the
crane would not let me get within shot.
1 was tired out, completely exhausted;
could hardly put one foot in front of
the other. A happy thought struck me.
I left my dog to keep the wounded
crane in sight and hied myself home.
Quickly hitching up my team | hurried
back to the scene of the days exploits.
I found the crane and the dog lying
down, with q distance of fifty yards
intervening, both taking a nap IS it
were with one eye open. Taking the
dog into the buggy, I made chase after
the crane. 1t was then p. N. We
ran around for three hours, it became
dark, 50 I hitched the horse and put
the dog out to keep the crane under
guard. extemporizing a bed for myself.
With the break of day the chase was
resumed. We ran around all the morn
ing and we'll into the afternoon. just
about when my horse was ready to give
out the crane gave up the ghost. 1t
was dearly bought bird, but I was de-
termined to have it..
Secretary Blaine refuses to notice the
silly lie, sent out by some sensational
correspondents stating that the Chilian
members of the Three Americas Con-
gress would not take part in the organ
ization of the congress because they OBJ
jected t. voting for Mr.. Blaine as presi-
dent, but Senor Don Varas, the Chilian
minister, and one of the representatives
of that country in the congress, not de-
string his country to be misrepresented
has furnished the following statement
of the matter II did not attend the
organization of the International Amer
lean Congress because my colleague
had not yet arrived from Chill with my
credentials as member of that body.
[ am we'll pleased with the election of
Mr.. Blaine as president, and should
have attended and voted for him had
my credentials arrived in time. [ did
not go with the congress on it's tour be-
cause of important matters requiring
my attention here, but, | hope to join
the party before it returns. The only
foundation for the absurd story was,
that, at an informal conference of the
South American and Mexican delegates
which [ attended, the question was dis
cussed as to whether the Congress had
a right to elect Mr.. Blaine president, he
not being a member The question was
unanimously decided in the affirmative,
and, to my personal knowledge, it af-
forded pleasure to every one of the de-
legates to cast their votes for so able a
statesmen as Mr.. Blaine, who is as pop
ular almostin South America as in the
United States. y
Speaking of the prevalence of typhoid
fever in many localities at this season
of the year, the current issue Of PUB
Lie HEALTH, the official organ of the
Minnesota Board of Health, remarks;
Che rainfall has been much below
the average. and complaints are COM
ing in that shallow wells, lakes, and
the smaller streams are in some cases
dry, and in very many afford much less
than the usual quantity of water, which
is of inferior quality.
These facts have direct relation to
one of the commonest methods of pro-
pagating typhoid fever a foul acater
supply.
Whenever, and wherever, the disease
appears, the water supply of the affect
ed family should be immediately ex-
amined. If the water has bad odor,
or taste. it should be condemned till
the cause is discovered and removed. If,
from the surroundings, or the presence
of this disease, it is reasonably suspect
ed, examine it chemically if possible.
But whether the water is examined
chemically or not, evident unsanitary
conditions, .'holes-in -the-ground'' cess
pools and collections of offensive mat
ters, should be removed and the condi-
ton of cellars and houses investigated.
Nothing is more clearly proved than
that these things stand very near to the
cause of typhoid fever, and influence
very positively its prevalence, severity
and mortality. If they do not exist it
