ST, PAUL, July q.
DR.. w. JacObY,

Health Officer of MankatO, MINI.
Replying to yours of July 10 notify
ing express of sample water suspected
of association with five cases of diph-
liberia in one family at same time:
DEAR DOCTOR: analysis of the
sample gives the following result in
parts per 100000, which if you multi
ply by decimal 0.5S4 will give you
grains per Am. gal
NitrateS and nitridS strong. ChlOr-
inc 15.474, free am. .007, alb. am. .0l9,
oxygen consumed 1929.
The record could not well be worse,
and gives just grounds for the belief
that surface and privy washings get
into the water of which the sample is
specimen. The hardness az Clark's
scale) indicates it to be a hard water.
c. n. HEWITT,
Sec. State Bd. of Health.
DR.. Jacoby condemned the well a
few days ago, on a Geographic dis
patch from DR.. Hewitt. The ground
where the house is located is inclined
to be swampy, and DR.. Jacoby states
the water in all the wells in that par
ticular neighbOrhOOd is unhealthy.
The new school house is near there,
and well will have to be put down
by the school board. We suggest
that it be deep well and that the
people in the neighborhood be given
permission to use water from it, as
many of the people there are poor and
can hardly afford to put down deep
wells at this time.

quaintance.
A short programme in the early part
of the evening was opened by a vocal
duet by Misses Daisy Starr and Ada Tay-
Tor, after which Chas. d. Welch, presi-
dent of the alumni, welcomed the class
of "a, and was responded to by Clarence
Evans. Mr.. John Mcdonald, after con-
siderable elaboration at last decided to
go upon the stage, and delivered a few
witty remarks, VIII ich were followed by
an address by Mr.. James A Troutman.
The chairs were then pushed back and
the young people danced, the older ones
talked, and not few repaired to the
stage where ice cream and cake were
served.

They Are Before Judge Ensminger in
Police Court Today.
Three bad colored women were in the
police court today for offense which
like multitude of other offenses is con-
cealed under the charge of "disOrderly
conduct" These women were Mary
Wade, Carrie Alexander and Annie Bal
ley. They sauntered into court with the
tread of tired Coxeyite.
Mary Wade is 21 years old and thin;
and when she walks one can almost de-
tect the rafting of dry bones. Carrie
Alexander surveyed the audience with

orderly conduct but Sergeant Steele con-
WINGED the court that they had erred in
their judgment as well as decOrum and
the Wade woman was fined $40, and the
other two were fined $50 each. Sergeant
Steele told the court that the women
took considerable hop-tea, pale malt and
other nom de plumes for booze to the
City park with them and proceeded to
get drunk. Then they gave a little
variety show that was decidedly noisy
and savored too strongly of the Lily Clay
aggregation. They stood on their heads
and turned summersaults. The police
say the city park is becoming too much
of a disreputabIe resort and they are
anxious to make the place respectable.
Other Cases.
William McMichael, the colored man
with only one leg who was arrested yes
terday afternoon for keeping a liquor
joint on Kansas avenue between Eigh nth
and Ninth, had his case continued until
tomorrow.
Robert Ransom was fined So for fight
ing.
Clarence Mcdowell, a runaway boy
from the Reform school, was captured
by Sergeant Donovan and turned over to
the school today.
Nick Keller had a fight last night
with the night-watchman at VOLTS
packing house He was charged with
assault today and acquitted the evil
dence showed the other man was the ag-
gressor.
James Arterbridge was charged with
contempt of court for failing to respond
to a subpoena served by Sergeant Steele
in the Carrie Johnson case. Arterbridge
claims he was sick, which is doubt
full. The case was continued in
order to give both sides a chance to
subpoena witnesses regarding his health
on last Wednesday, the day in question.
Press johnson was charged with being
drunk, but acquitted Dave Britton was
fined So on the same charge.
Charles Crowley of Holton was re-
leased from the insane asylum yesterday
as cured, and was given a railroad ticket
home. On his way to the depot he
stepped into joint on the lower part of
Kansas avenue and drank heavily of
something that contained more than two
per cent of alcohol. He became very
drunk and the liquor seemed to give his
convaleScing brain relapse. He tore up
his railroad ticket and went up to see
Miss Ida Cooley and inaugurated
trough house." Officer Campbell was
summoned, and as the officer used to
work at the asylum he recognized Crow
ley. Today he was fined So He will
probably be returned to the state insane
ASYLUM.

ANACOSTIA.

There is conflict In real estate circles in
Anacostia. owing to the same name of two
subdivisions being exactly similar. They
are the two Buena Vistas. Back upon Ana
costa Heights. among the hills and with a
view overlooking Washington, is Fuena
Vista No. 1, controlled by Dr. A. NJ. Green,
president of the Epworth League of the
Methodist Church, and well-known
churchman. Down at Giesboro, on the
river front. where was at one time a col
ored excursion resort. is Buena Vista No. 2.
~ was here the tournament of the Young
bachelors' Club was In progress, and 1t is
mere the temperance compaigners have
been directing their efforts to suppress
alleged evils. The first surprise was when
a friend Of DR.. Green's overheard in
car that his subdivision was the scene
OF many speak easies. Some people spoke
OF an investigation, but the church friends
OF the doctor stood by him. and the matter
Is now only in the mouths of enemies and
the saloon element who seem elated at the
new report. To a Star representative Dr.
A. Nj. Green explained the mistake of con-
meeting his Buena Vista with that on the
Potomac. The improbability of the rumor
is seen when 1t is known that Dr. A. NJ
Green Is chairman of the recently appoint
ed committee from the Epworth League to

them causes sickness.
Eat heartily, but not too much greasy food. II
is Il mistake to suppose that fat food contains
the most vitality.
If you feel chilly at any time take some pure
stimullnt at once aud remember that notain., for
this purpose is elsal to pure whiskey.
