HOG CHOLERA NOT SERIOUS.
state BOnrd Confident of Stamping
1t Out.

To the Editor of the Globe.
There appeared in several of the city dailies
reports of the recent state board of health
meeting held on July u, which contained
statements, concerning the hog cholera situa
ton, which are erroneous and very serious as
to their possible effect For instance
eral of the papers published statements to
the effect that Minnesota is helpless under the
invasion of hog cholera and that such was
the ground taken at the state board meeting,
and that l expressed the opinion in my re-
port that the scourge had obtained such foot
hold in the stock cars that the keeping out
various other statements OF this kind which
were very unfortunate. have been away from
home since the meeting, otherwise this would
have been written sooner. There was GER
tainly nothing OF the kind in my report. On
the contrary the situation IS decidedly favor
able. All OF the outbreaks in previously I'M
invaded territory since the first of January
have been rigidly and successfully quaran-
tined and the situation is very much less
serious that at this time last year. 1t is
very important that the farmers and stock
men of the state do not get the impression
that the state board of health is discouraged
or is giving up the fight against hog cholera
On the contrary, we have and expect to deal
preston should get abroad over the state
that the situation serious as indicated
by the newspaper reports of the state board Of
health meeting. that the state board was
inclined to relax its efforts the local boards
of health over the state would simply let
down all bars and let the disease spread
which is Just the thing that must not be
done. M II. Reynolds.

TRIBESMEN REFUSED
But the Victory Cost the English
Many Men

LONDON, Nov. ia dispatch to the
Times from Madam says: During the
afternoons fighting on Monday the
Sikhs were most seriously pressed on the
northern side of the river by a large
body of Afridis. Hard and close fighting
ensued in the thick woods. The Sikhs de-
Tended themselves with much gallantry
and in one desperate bayonet charge
killed and wounded fully sixty of the
enemy. Their commander, Col. Alb
bot, was painfully wounded in the neck
and face, and Captain Warner was sAot
through the heart.
Further details from the Madam val
ley shows that the loss of Gen. Kemp
ster's brigade is quite serious. The force
consisted of the Dorsetshire regiment
and regiments of Sikhs and Churkas.
The insurgent tribesmen made Their
attack upon the rear guard, but were
brilliantly repulsed by the Sikhs. The
Dorsetshires lost their way in the dark
ness and We're cut off by the enemy
Lieut.. Haly and Lieut.. Crook and nine
men were killed. The rest of the Dor
setshire attached themselves to the Sikhs
and arrived in camp in safety. The other
officers killed were Lieut.. Wylie of the
Ghurkas and Lieut. Warne of the Sikhs.
Fourteen Sikhs and Ghurkas were killed.
Col Abbott, Capt. Custanio and Lieut..
Mum We're wounded and twenty-eight
Sikhs and Ghurkas wounded.
This shows that fifty-eight men We're
placed hors du combat in this affair, of
whom twenty-seven officers and men
We're killed and thirty-one wounded.

MANS INHUMANITY
Worse Than Cuffs and Blows Is the
Harm Done the Stomach

1t is unfortunate for mankind that there
are men who. for the gain of money, will
adulterate food intended for the human
stomach. Savage blows are given to the
health by harmful articles placed in food
to cheaper, or add lasts or color.
1t Is enough to arouse ones ire to think
that we are made to suffer temporary ILL
ness and perhaps permanent disease
brought about by adulterations in food
that was purchased for pure. All grain"
wheat" or cereal coffees' thus far test
ed that have a distinct coffee taste, are
concoctions made up of part low grade
coffee or coffee essence and sold to the
public for pure cereal coffee"
The original Postum Cereal Food Coffee
is believed 10 be the only pure article Of
the kind that Is palatable. The pleasant
flavor of the milder grades of Java Is OBJ
tanned by the process of manufacture dis
covered by it's inventor after many months
of experiment.
Counterfeiters arose who found 1t i'm
possible to produce a cereal coffee with the
taste of Postum, and therefore have uni
versaly resorted to mixture of low grade
coffee to produce it.
True, thousands of people put " to two
thirds Postum in their coffee when unwil-
ling to part with the narcotic effect Of
coffee (this we cannot prevenD; but they
know what they are mixing. which Is
quite a different affair than to use ce-
real coffee you expect to be pure, and find
that dishonest maker has put in por-
tion of the very article the user OF cereal
coffee seeks to avoid.
The great physicians, hIod experts ath-
letic trainers, lawyers editors and brain
workers in general are In large numbers

ADvICES VIA LONDON
LONDON. Nov. IA special dispatch
from Shanghai says that the commander
of the German cruiser division. Admiral
Won Diederich, landed troops at Kiao
Chau on Monday morning, November
18th; that three forts were held by 1900
Chinese and their guns commanded the
fleet. Admiral Won Diederich placed his
four cruisers directly opposite, ready to
fire. and sent an ultimatum ordering the
evacuation of the forts within three
hours. Six hundred German troops and
six guns were then landed and began to
march forward. The Chinese hesitated
for a few moments and then the whole
1900 bolted, heller skelter, across the
hills behind the forts. The Germans Qui-
etly entered the Notifications, hauled
down the Chinese flag and hoisted the
German standard, which the warships
saluted Immediately. The Chinese gen.
eral, who had his family with him, did
not flee, but claimed German protection.
The forts are now held by the Ger
mans, who, it sbe,ieved at Shanghai,
intend to remain permanently.
In official Chinese circles Germany is
considered to have committed an act of
war, but it is regarded as improbable
that China, on account of her weakness,
will take action upon it as such.
American and British warships have
been ordered to Kaio Chau to watch de-
velopments. The greatest interest is
felt as to the result of Germans action,
because the region is immensely rich In
minerals and the harbor the best along
the coast.
1t is now asserted that the murder of
the two German missionaries near Yen
Chu Flu was not the work of bandits, as
originally understood, but was deliber-
ately planned by Ii Hung Chang, gov
ernor of the province, prior to his de-
parture for So Chouan, of which he has
been appointed viceroy.
The Berlin correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle says:
Emperor William is devoting consid-
cradle attention to the course of affairs
in China and today wednesday, dis
cussed the position of the missionaries
with Bishop Anzecos. vicar of the eGr-
man Catholic missions in China.
