HOSPITAL WELL WATER.
An Analysis Shows it to Be Teeming
With Baciiii.

Some days ago one of the nurses at
the Tourtellotte Hospital was taken
down with an attack of typhoid fever.
1t was suspected that the water from
the well which supplies the hospital
might be contaminated, and sample
of it was taken to Prof. Cox, of the
Normal school, who, assisted by Prof.
Holtz, has made thorough eXamina-
tion of it. Their work has resulted in
bacilli in the water, it being in worse
condition than that of the milkman,
Chris Johnson.
AS yet no typhoid bacilli have been
found, but the water was so filled
with organic matter that it soon sent
forth foul smell.
The appliances for analysing water
at the Normal school are said to equal
those of the state health officer, but if
there is any doubt as to the accuracy
of the investigation, samples of the
water ought to be sent to the state
board of health for examination. The
hospital is beyond the reach of the
system of water mains at present,
and the matter is an important one,
OF course, the water could be boiled
and thus rendered perfectly free from
animal life. A number of cases of
typhoid fever have been successfully
treated at the hospital during the
past winter.

FOR LOCAL RELIEF.

Last fall the Leidertafel gave an
entertainment for the benefit of the
Hinckley fire sufferers. The society
was unable to find out where to send
the money, and on Thursday of this
week it decided to divide the money
among three relief bodies in this city
The ones chosen were the Ladies' Re-
lief society, the ST. Elizabeth's soci-
ETY., and the Lutheran Relief society.
This action by the Leidertafel is
highly creditable to that society. The
Leidertafel is composed of some of
our best German citizens, and it is an
influence for good in the community

VALUES. RISING.
Farms i'm the Timber District Double
i'm Value.

H.. Burgess sold his farm of fifty
acres near Eagle Lake this week to
Andrew Hartung for $500. The
farm includes some buildings in fair
condition. Three years ago, Mr.. Bur
CESS bought the property for S32 an
acre, while this weeks sale was at the
rate of $50 an acre.
Mr.. Burgess stated today that
this land will 60 still higher in the
near future. Said he: 1.-THE farm
land located in the timber district
east of the city has advanced one
hundred per cent. during the past few
years. The dry weather has demon
strated the advantages of this heavy
soil as compared with the lighter soil
of the prairie. There is no better
farm land anywhere than this"
Mr.. Burgess gives possession Mon
day and will remove to this city. He
has not set decided what business to
engage in.

torney Plymat opposed the motion,
but it was granted by the court.
The civil suit of Nichols VS.. Weller
was argued this forenoon, and the

nADELIA NOTES.
The Little City is Forging Rapidly
Ahead.

E. G. Cove, the newly appointed
postmaster, has contracted with the
Mercantile company for a new build
ing which the latter has nearly COM
pleted, and which will make a fine
location'for the postoffice.
Madelia is coming to the front again
this spring in the matter of improve
ments. A club room has been fitted
up in fine style, with two billiard and
pool tables and large reading room.
The most important magazines in the
country are on the tables. Visitors
are handsomely entertained here.
There was checked out of the State
Bank of Madelia last season nearly
forty thousand dollars by the farmers
for butter Mr.. G. r. Pew, who has a
small dairy of twelve COWS received
over $50 head from them in butter.
Who says that dairying does not pay?
1t is believed that good creamery in
Mankato would pay.
S. ID. Noonan, the popular landlord
is contemplating building new brick
hotel to take the place of the old one
which has been in service for so many
years. If anything is done in this line
it is thought that a building will be
erected something like the Stahl
house in Mankato. The citizens
should give Mr.. Noonan some substan-
tial encouragement, as an improve
ment of this kind would be of great
-henetiE 10 Madelia.

President Mic Peterson, of the pro-
posed Liberal league, writes letter
to the ReUieW, in which he says
that latter consultation with several
friends it has been decided to abandon
the idea of organizing or forming any
society at the present time" This is
probably due to the fact that the

favorable criticism in all parts of the
