Germany had her day, and. it was
grandly and enjoyably celebrated by
the Germans of the city. There we're

Worlds Fair Physicians Give Out Valuable
Hints for Visitors.
Drs. j. L. Hillmantel and w. II. Al
port, of the medical staff of the worlds
fair, were asked about the liability of
exposition visitors to sunstrcl1c, what
they should do to prevent insulation
and all its phases, and what treatment
should be Immediately resorted to by
friends or any bystander possessed Of
ordinary presence of mind. DR.. Hill
mantel said:
ITO begin at the beginning, visitors
should battle before coming to the fair.
They will be SO refreshed by the bath
that they will be well prepared for q
days sightseeing. They should eat
before leaving home, prudently, of
course, and while on fairgrounds should
eat. They should not wander around
all day on one meal, as exhaustion is
altogether likely to attend such long
fasting.
Coming to the fair men and women
should wear light clothing or clothing
suitable to the weather, and on warm,
oppressive day they should pay atten-
ton to their footwear, wearing light
and easy shoes. Headgear should he
looked after. Women are better off in
this respect, and the men should wear
light hats, and when in the shade
should remove them frequently.
! 'But above all, visitors should be
careful about what they drink. The
water used is of the utmost Importance,
and none but pure water should be
used. Moderate drinking should be in

ice cream soda or other cold drinks are
taken, they should be INDUCED in mod

wood tree in the Horticultural hall is
complete on the outside, and its en-
frances stand guarded by an Indian and

AMONG the English exhibits in the
Transportation building are several
models illustrating the modern method
OF signaling and handling trains. The
switching processes are illustrated by
diagrams of tracks and serial models,
showing trains first indiscriminately
made up, and then as properly arranged,
by means of colorcd blocks, there being
five blocks of the same color in each
series of numbers, each block repre-
senting car.
THE models Of ships in the Transpor-

pensive. The model OF the Victoria,
an English war vessel, cost seven thou
sand and five hundred dollars. 1t is of
steel and nickel plate; the little guns
are of steel. There is a model of the
Black Warrior, the first ironclad built

whom in many instances they must

themselves.
The complaints of extortion which
were so frequent short time ago are
now no longer heard, or at least are be-
coming very rare, and the impression,
which had been somewhat general, that
people were being robbed at the fair is
gradually becoming effaced. There are
plenty of free water and toilet accom-
modations, and lunches may be had at
a moderate charge. This being the
case, person of modest means need
not go hungry, thirsty or dirty while
visiting the fair.

VANROUGISH CAUGHT.
In Jail ut bloomfield fOI
Illegal Voting.

Shorif Wells received a telegram
this FRIDAY, morning from Sheriff
Patterson at Bloomfield stating
that he had Frank Vanrougish in
IN Jail at Bloomfield. Mr.. Wells
left this afternoon to get him and
will take him to the Fredericktown
Jail. He is wanted for illegal voting
last fall at Brentwood.
This offense and capture will re-
call to, the peoples mind, Van
rougish's former criminal career in
this county. In 1878 he killed g,
w. Brown in the southern end OF
the county, and was convicted by
Hon. Roswell Smith, who was then
prosecuting attorney, and given hf'
teen years in the penitentlary which
sentence be served. The history OF
the case is briefly this:
Vanrougish and Browns wife
were crlmlnally intimate, and were
making every effort to induce Brown
to surrender to them his property
and leave the county. This he re
fused to do. Mrs. Brown gave
dance at her home, aud Vanrouglsf
concealed himself in the garden an(
shot Brcwn, killing him.
