EctrG Precasttion Taken to Prevent the
Introduction of Cholera.
PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Sept. s.
Consular advice of the prevalence of
cholera in Japan has had the result of
making the inspection of all vessels arriv-
ing from there even more minute than is
required by regulations from the Surgeon
Generals Office. DR.. Simpson of the
Marine Hospital service and chief quaran-
tine officer here has determined that no
contagion shall creep into the United States
through the ports under his supervision,
and, in carrying out that conclusion, not
only subjects every vessel to close scrutiny
but compels both passengers and crew to
undergo individual inspection. The State
officials have adopted similar precautions.

of Farragut Post of this city. 1t was SO
eminently successful as to result in the
formation of reunion association, COM
prisipg representatives from nearly every
post in the State, all of whom were so i'm
pressed with the natural beauty and fine
conveniences of Fort Townsend that they
agreed not only to hold next years re-
union there, but also to petition Congress
to set the reservation aside for that pur-

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Sept s.-Two
hundred and fifty Teutons captured the
city last night, and more have been COM
ing all day. The Teutonians came down
brimful of music, and were received by
the Arions and Turner'S of Santa Cruz,
who were brimful of welcome.
Last night grand concert and ball were
given at Turner'S Hall: The concerted
and quartet singing of the Teutonia Club
was absolutely perfect and received with
enthusiasm. The ball and refreshments
were enjoyed until day break, after which a
few hours of repose were taken, and then
all repaired to Wagner's Grove, where
delightful picnic and generous luncheon
were enjoyed.
Tonight there is grand banquet at
Hotel Hagemann, at which visiting Teuton-
ians will be the hosts of the Turner's and
Arions, and tomorrow will be spent at the
Big Trees and driving about to attractive

He said:
Eyes, there was considerable interior

at all times. The steamboats, did not keep
at a sufficient distance and gave the yachts
a wash as well as interfering with their

The Defender will also go to the Horse
shoe some time tomorrow, and both boats
will probably take spin if the weather is
right.
The next race will be on Tuesday at Ii
A. NJ, under the same conditions as yester-
days race, except that the course will be a
triangular one of thirty miles, with ten
miles to leg. The excitement aroused by
the first race will undoubtedly attract an
other big crowd of boats and people down
the bay.
The English committee hopes to devise
some scheme by which the attendant feet
can be kept at respectful distance, Rear
Commodore James, commanding the patrol
division of the steam yachts at the races
has issued note OF thanks on behalf of
the officers of the patrol feet to the cap
tains of excursion steamers for Saturdays
race who kindly paid prompt heed to sig
nails and requests. He concludes with the
following:
1.-THE importance of keeping the turning
marks of Tuesdays triangular course clear
is so great that attention is again called to
the fact that at no point of the race, neither
at the start nor during the runs from mark
to mark, nor at the turning marks, nor at
the finish should steamers approach within

A Joke on the Old Man.

Some time ago a man living not far
from Valley City committed suicide, says
the Valley City Times-Record. The coro-
ner went out and held an inquest and from
tho evidence it was surmised that the old
gentleman h ad tholght his family had not
treated him right and for the purpose of
bringing them to terms had taken a small
dose of strychnine, which had been got
for the purpose of poisoning gophers.
He did not know the viruleace of the
poison, and was believed did not intend
to kill himself, but ne did just the same.
One of the witnesses before tho Jury was
q adaughter, aged about Is. who seemed to
think il was great joke on the old man.
She saic thst 'he just put little bit in
his hand and took it, but he was sorry for
1t afterward; (tee-hee) he didn't know it
was going to hurt so. He thought he was
going to fool us, but he fooled himself"

"A Terrible Tragedy.
SIX PERSONS BURNED TO DEATH
NEAR STERLING.

| The Bismarck Tribune of Thursday

B1rleigh county. The Dwver homestead
near that place was burned about o'clock
+; "Wednesday morning and with it burning
70 crsn the family of Peter Olson con-
slsting q, himself, wife and three children
and hired man named Bnthka. The fire
was not discovered until about o'clock
when DR.. Smyth, of Bismarck, who was
waiting for the train at the depot, noticed
an unusual light shere and whel daylight
came an investigation was had and the
horrifying discovery was made that the
entire family had perished. AS no one
was left alive to tell about it, only sur
misses of an indefnate character can be
ventured az to the cause of the fire, but
most probably the fire originated from an
overheated stove, while all were sleeping.
Mr.. Olson had been at the depot at Sterl-
ing that evening and was in the best of
spirits, as he wended his way homeward.
The place was the property of Judge
Dwyer, of Dayton, Ohio, father of j. c.
Dwyer, of Washburn. MIR. Dwyer started
down Oh Fridays stage to Bismarck. and
will at once go to the scene of the disaster.
The furniture, farm implements and stock
was the property of j. G. and his father
and he will remain there for several days
perhaps weeks.
Peter Olson was we'll known to many
people up this way being an indepenf ent
candidate for sheriff in Burleigh county
two years ago, and made many acquaint-
ance in the upper end of the county where
he canvassed and received large vote.
