Communicating Cholera,

You may breathe cholera germs into
your lungs, and they will have no effect
on you: They may even be in your
clothing and your hair, and you will not
take the scourge. But let them be in
the food you eat or the water, milk, cof-
fee or beer you drink and pass into your
stomach, then it is that the cholera con-
tagion catches you. "Cholera must be
eaten. It cannot be absorbed or
breathed," reports DR.. Kempster. He
is the United States government agent
who was appointed to investigate the
whole subject of cholera in Europe, Asia
and America. The disease always starts
in British India, is brought westward by
pilgrims returning from Mecca, and it
always spreads over Europe through
three great routes-northern, central or
through the Mediterranean. By the lat
ter route it reached France this summer.
The obvious remedy is strict quaran-
tine and sanitation. There is scarcely a
doubt that the rigid precautions in both
these directions have kept the plague out
Of America this summer and prevented
it's going inland last fall. Absolute
cleanliness and purity of food and drink
are required. The germs travel upon the
clothing and hands, upon articles of
merchandise and in the air. Once they
enter the human stomach there is a case
of cholera.

It was not the Duke of Veragua's

Mr.. West, however, refused abso-

FELL INTO n CISTERN.
the Effects, but Lived Near
1y Three Hours After
Taken Out.

A very sad and singular accident
occurred last night at the residence
of A. X. Hall on Third street. Mrs.
A. M. Crawford with her son Walter,
eight years of age, arrived yesterday
on the 2:10 p. III. train from her home
at Casselton, North Oak ota, and was
a guest at the residence OF A. X. Hall.
At about 9 O'Clock last evening Wal
ter fell into a lO0-barrel cistern in
which the water was eleven feet deep.
lie was, however, soon rescued hav-
ing been in the water a little more
than five minutes. Henry Benfield
was let down with a rope and with
a garden rake pulled him out. He
seemed in bad condition when recOv-
cred, but soon after was rcsuscitated
SO that he breathed quite well and
his body was warm until he died at
about II O'Clock. Drs. Trace and
Millspaugh were in attendance. His
death is said to be due to injuries re-
ceived from the fall. There was Il
severe scalp wound and he was
wholly unconscious after the acci-
dent.
The entrance to the cistern vas
out of doors and near the back
porch. It was covered with q lid
that weighs at least fifty pounds.
But the little son OF Mr. Hall who
was with him at play out of doors
says he lifted the lid and fell in head
first. Mr.. Hall says children play
around the cistern every day and
they did not consider it dangerous.
Mrs. Crawford is an aunt OF Mrs
A. K. Hall and sister Of Mrs. John A.
Griswold of Green Prairie Mrs
CrawfOrd's husband has a music
store at Casselton and will arrive to-
day on the 2:10 p. IN. train, twenty
four hours after the arrival of his
wife and son, as he has been tele-
graphed. The sorrowing parents
will return tonight with the remains
on the lilo p. m.
The mother is Frustrated with
grief, and the whole household is
very sad. And indeed the whole
community was shocked when hear
ing OF the event.

G. B. Buckman, was at the Mer-
chants, St. Paul, yesterday. He
said: "There is one thing am afraid
OF when this financial question is set
tied, as they expect to settle it now,
by the repeal, of the Sherman law,
and that is when the worst is over
for the business men the trouble will
be just commencing for the working
men. I think the tariff is playing
bigger part in this trouble among
the manufacturing districts than it
is generally given credit for, and
when the financial policy of the ad-
ministration is settled, if it is settled,
the manufacturers will continue to
run short time and curtail the num-
Der of employees here and there for
fear that something detrimental to
their interests will be done in the
way of tariff legislation. III this
way thousands OF men will be
thrown out of employment in these
districts. s."-Minneapolis Tribune.

The Trouble In Norway.

The average opinion concerning Swe-
den and Norway is that these two coun-
tries constitute one kingdom and that
kingdom is Sweden. This isexactly what
the Norwegians object to. Swedes and
Norsemen are as differentin race as Irish
men and Scotchmen and like each other
much the same as an Ulsterman and a
Corkonian do. The complaint of the Nor
wegians is that Sweden appropriates all
the consulships to herself, which is
grave charge indeed-as bad as if an
American president should give all the
postoffices to one factik Of his party.
Norway was given up by Denmark in
the treaty of Kiel in 1914, and Sweden
and Norway were united into one king
dom. Norway, to begin, never has ac-
knowledged that Denmark had right
to cede her to any country, and that was
an original source of irritation. The
articles of union declared Norway to be a
'free, independent and indivisible king
dom" to be governed jointly with Swe-
den under one king. Norway was to
have forever her own parliament, called
in Norwegian the storthing, composed of
two houses, like other modern legisla-
tive bodies. The Norwegian executive
departments consists Of a cabinet or
council, part of which remains in Stock
holm to be in communication with the
king. The king is always swede, the
minister of foreign affairs is always
Swede, and the consular and diplomatic
servants are always Swedes or Norwe-
gians of Swedish sentiments. When
therefore Norwegian wishes to appeal
to any representative of his country
abroad, it is always a Swede to whom
he must 60, person of different nation
ality and sympathies.
How serious matter this is is laid be-
fore usin The North American Review by
Professor 81. H. Boyesen. The Norwe-
gians, through their storthing, have made
the fight to be allowed a consular and dip
lomatic representation of their own. This
the king of Sweden has not been disposed
to grant. In revenge the storthing cut
off the kings civil list. Then less than
ever were King Oscar II and his Swedish
parliament disposed to grant Norway's
request. The Swedes are quiet, rather
aristocratic, people. Norwegians are
simply the wild, fierce vikings tanned
down a little to suit nineteenth century
requirements. They will not yield the
claim they have made. Even in case of
war between the two countries, Boyesen
does not believe Sweden could whip the
Norwegians or make them stay whipped
after she had conquered them tempo

CROP REPORT.
Unfavorab1e weathes Condi-
tionss--Excessiv Temper
ature and Sunshine.

For the week ending July Is the
Minnesota weather service gives the
following general summary:
The temperature and sunshine have
been excessive, with a decided def
cheney in rainfall which practically
amounted to none. These weather
conditions have been very unfavOrst-
BILE to all crops, and especially 80 to
small grain, causing it to ripep too
fast and on the other hand been fav-
orable for the rapid propagation of
chinch bugs which haye become
numerous, and are doing extensive
damage on hilly and sandy soil,
where in many cases, entire fields
will not be worth harvesting. Win
ter wheat in Rice, Nicollet, Steele and
adjoining counties has been cut and
the yield is up to the average both in
quantity and quality. Rye is being
harvested as far north as Sherburne
county, but the reports regarding it's
yield are SO diverse that nothing
definite can be stated with any de-
gree of assurance, except that it will
be less than the average. The barley
harvest is in full blastin the southern
section OF the State, and in some
| places in the shock and stacking
begun. Some early ~sOwn fields Of
oats are being cut. Haying in the
southern section is about completed
and under good headway in the Red
River Valley where a large amount
is being harvested. The weather
conditions during the week were very
favorable for the caring of this crop
and it is now believed that the heavy
yield in the Northwest section of the
Stale will bring the totals up to the
average. Potatoes are suffering for
rain; some of the early varieties are
being marketed, bat the yield will
be materially reduced unless the
needed rains soon arrive. Com
plants regarding the potato bugs,
while numerous, have not increased
| any since last report, and these pests
will not do any serious damage if
proper attention is paid them. Corn
is still blooming and beginning to
tassei throughout the central Sec
tiOn Of the State. This crop, while
yet in excellent condition, would be
greatly benefited by rain. Flax
still promises well. Pastures in many
| places have suffered seriously by
drought which is beginning to have
an injurious effect upon stock. The
timothy seed crop has been de-
strOyed by the wheat head army
worm in portions OF the southeast
section of the State. Rust as vet is
not bad although reported in spots
from many counties. AS a whole,
| the crops are in the NEST foHrishing
condition along the lower portion of
| the Red River Valley and along the
central and western portions of the
Minnesota River Valley. The most
discouraging reports come from the
upper Mississippi valley and adjoin-
ing counties where all crops except
corn are far below average condi-
tiOns.
