The impression seems to prevail in certain
portions of the County that an epidemic of Dip
iberia is raging in Ravenna. Now we wish SIM
ply to say that such rumors are entirely untrue.
and have no foundation in fact.
Health Officer Gledhill informs US that the to-
tai number of cases reported since the first one
discovered. is 49, out of population of 1900.
The rumor grew as it travelled. and we under
stand it has been reported that our schools have
closed. and that it is extremely dangerous to
even venture into the town.
Were an epidemic prevailing here, the PRESS
would promptly perform its duty in advising
people of the fast. and warning them accord
iDgly. But there is absolutely no truth in the
report. Our schools are in session, and have
never closed an hour by reason of diptheria OF
any other disease. Every preeaution is taken
against spreading the disease Every house in
which case has been discovered has been i'm
mediately placarded, and every precaution used
that prudence and safety could suggest.
We are no more afflicted here than the country
over. for diptheria is prevailing. more or less
everywhere. owing probably to the unfavor able
condition of the atmosphere occasiened by the
protracted dry season.
| The rumor should be corrected, and these un.
necessary and foolish fears allayed. There is NJ
more danger in coming to Ravenna than in goint
to any other town.

Miss Ullie Akerstrom is most pleasing and
popular actress. and she has earned her reputa-
tion by honest and painstaking work. She ap-
peared last evening as 'Mira,a Little Busybody, %
a comedy drama in which she has played before
in this city. She reconstructed the piece in many
places. and strengthened all its weak portions.
The scenery was painted for the play. and adds
to the setting; but scenery aside. Miss Akerstrom
issa sufficient attraction to entertain the largest
and most critical kind of an audience. She is a
young woman of high degree of cultivation as
well as talent. and the songs she sings often draw
tears from the eyes of those who listen. Then
laughter is supreme as she recites one OF her hu-
morous compositions. and applause rings out
heartily when she performs her sprightly dances.

MINNESOTA IN 1893.
st Paul News.

We publish elsewhere call issued
by the Worlds Fair Commissioner i'm
Minnesota for state convention. The
object of the convention is to supple
ment the small appropriation of $50
600 made by the legislature last win
ter, and endeavor to secure an addi-
tional sum of 100000 which will be
adequate to have Minnesota repre-
sented properly at the. Worlds Fair in
1893.
1t was mistaken economy on the
part of the legislature to make so
small an appropriation. just as it was
a mistake to stop all efforts to secure
population, because it involved a lit
tie immediate cash outlay.
1t requires population to develop a
State and to increase the value of
property within our borders. The
Worlds Fair will prove a magnificent
immigration document for states
which choose to avail themselves of it.
Minnesota can make such a showing
at the exhibition as to bring thou
sands of visitors to inspect our advan-
tageS and retain many thousands of
them permanently.
OThe exhibit is at our very DOORS
Such an opportunity will not again be
offered to this generation.
1.-The proposed convention in August
will have it in it's power to more ma
terially advance the interests of the
state than any single opportunity has
heretofore offered.

DR.. Forbes Case.
Rochester Postl.

lhOCneSGer EOSC
Rev. Robert Forbes, who was placed
in the insane hospital in this city for
treatment several weeks ago, has been
released on parole and left for Duluth
Monday night, where he will go into
business with Mr.. L. Merrill.
DR.. Forbes case is a sad one indeed.
He has been one of the most promi-
nent ministers of the Methodist con-
ference of this state, and for the past
few years has held the position of Pre-
siding Elder of the ST. Paul district.
But how sudden the change. His once
happy home has been broken up and
he is now homeless; he has lost a
prominent position won by twenty
years hard work; and to crown all, he
is branded as an insane man. These
reverses, it seems to us, constitute a
burden sufficient to drive any man in
sane, but the doctor is apparently as
bright intellectually to-day as he ever
was.
1t has been claimed that DR.. Forbes
troubles were caused by the excessive
use of tobacco, which he denies He
attributes the cause to family mat
tiers, which we will not discuss at this
time.
Almost Immediately on his arrival
at the insane hospital the doctor was
given his liberty during the day. This
continued for about four weeks, when
he was allowed to spend week with
friends at Byron. To many Of the
doctors friends it looks as if a serious
mistake has been made in having him
committed to an insane hospital. To
our mind few weeks at the Hot
Springs would have been far more
beneficial. We understand that the
doctor will not again return to the
ministry.
We believe those alleged friends of
DR.. Forbes in ST. Paul, who compelled
him to resign his position because, as
they claimed, he was insane, anG then
sent him to Europe unattended, made
a great blunder.
There may be, and Undoubtedly is,
an increase of insanity in this country,
but the facilities for getting person
into the insane hospitals is increasing
much more rapidly.

THE ST. Paul Globe and Neacs and a
few other papers profess great indig-
nation that Gov. Merriam should have
called out the State militia to prevent
the Hall-Fitzsimmons fight and as
sumo to see in the act the SCATTERING
and tearing down of our American
liberties and the revolutionizing Of
American freedom. What sentiment
al slush is this from the pretentious
journals With the mayor of St. Paul
demanding the flight to 60 on" in the
face of the governors proclamation
that it should not be permitted to
take place, and with the secret con-
niving of the city administration, un-
der the direction of the mayor, to aid
in the consumation of the disgraceful
affair, the governor would have
been open to severe censure had he
failed to do precisely as he did. Had
the governor pursued the weak and
silly policy of failing to provide the
sheriff with needed armed force to
prevent the fight, the thugs and gam
blers would have had their way and
and Minnesota would to-day occupy a
thoroughly humiliating position in
stead of the proud distinction of pro-
tecting the morals of the community
and maintaining the dignity of the
law. These papers which are censur-
ing Gov. Merriam for protecting the
interests of the state against the in
fraction of law and order, had better
turn their batteries upon Mayor
Smith who was so highly indignant
that both were not sacrificed at the
behest of a lot of sports.

The place that Mr.. Williams holds is
one of a confidential nature to the

he is giving entire satisfaction it
would not be surprising if there was
something in the rumored desire of
Secretary Foster to make room for an
Ohio friend. Minnesota has at no

will be less so now that Secretary Win

than either and more in keeping with
the lifework of the man whose loyal.

affords the institution which bears
the name of Window an object lesson

ing Senator, with every indication of
being his own successor, unless, per-
chance, the Republicans fail to re-
deem the next legislature. Senator
Davis is concededly no politician. He
has no faculty for manipulating ma
chine wires, and therein lies his weak
ness. But as worker in legislative
matters; as man posted on questions
of National concern, and as a consci-
entious Republican bent upon doing
his whole duty to the whole people,
Mr.. Davis stands far above the aver
age Senator.
