What public sentiment has instinct

war investigation commission. Inspec-
tor General Breckenridge has been on
the witness stand for two days now,

San Juan and Caney, Shafter wired to

that Gen. Breckenridge declared that

was essentially true What he did say
however. was that Santiago fell be-
cause Torals nerve gave out at criti-

the absence OF preparation for the
campaign and the decentralization OF
the commissary and hospital depart

Against the Settlers.

Indian COMMISSIONER Jones said
Friday that he would endorse the ad-
verse report prepared by Land Com
missioner Herman to be submitted to
the house on the bill introduced by
Representative Morris, allowing actual
settlers on the Mile Laos reservation
to perfect titles to land under the gen
eral land laws. The commissioner said
that the act of January, 1889, provided
that the lands in the Chippewa reser-
walton not allotted or reserved shall
be disposed of for the benefit of the In
dians. He said that in view of the
fact that the bill introduced by Judge
Morris made no provision for the com
pensation of the Indians for any lands
which may be entered it would be I'M
just to Indians. The report will not
be submitted to Congress until Senator
Davis and Representative Morris have
been heard. Pioneer Press.

ment to come to the aid of those for
lorn, emaciated bosom companions if it
would but stop the sale of this terrible
and sure poison long enough SO that

The State Board of Health Explodes an
.& Ancient Theory.
One of the greatest mistakes, accord
ing to the State board of health docu-
ments, is to encourage the taking of
diseases like measles, by children.
There is a theory that measles are
harder with grown people than with
children. This is a proved mistake.
More than half the deaths from meas
les are children under two years of
age, and nearly one-fourth are under.
five years. Another mistake is to say
that death results from a complica-
ton of diseases rather than measles.
What are often considered as other
other diseases are most frequently
measles in such cases, the attack being
expended onsthe mucous membrane, in
stead of on the surface. Measles are
often COMPOUNDED with scarlet fever, or
some other disease, and it requires
several days, sometimes, to determine
the true nature of an eruption on the
skin. The rash first makes its appear
ance, as q rule, in the membranes Of

Princeton society received a shock
last week when the separation of a
young couple was announced and the
gossips have been busy with the choice
morsel ever since. Men about town
claim to have known for some time
that duties of wife were not being
faithfully observed by Mrs. Russell
Tousley but most people we're ignorant
of the scandal. The climax came when
the husband returned from work one
evening and found note telling him
that his wife had gone and asking him
to care for the children. An investi-
cation proved she had left town with a
we'll known young man and the hus-
band returned to his deserted home to
remove his goods. The next morning
the erring spouse appeared on the
scene but the domestic relations, so
rudely broken, could not be taken up
again. The wife left for the cities

will be seen, from this, that the meas

other diseases to follow, such as sore

ease, like scarlet fever, spreads by
means OF the poisonous srash,'' and
therefore complete isolation OF all
patients is the surest way to drive the
disease out. Strict quarantine will
prevent the spread of any infectious

The Foley-Bean Lumber Co. is ar
ranging to build a bridge across the
river above the lower dam, so that
that they may extend their lumber
yard to the flats across the the river.
Reed & Sherwood, the Anoka lumber
men, are putting in several thousand
feet of oak timber at Black Brook dam
this winter. They will Zendeavor to
float the logs to Anoka next spring,
and are now having them peeled and
the ends plugged and painted in order
to make them float easier. This is an
experiment which, if successful, may
lead to the rafting of considerable
hardwood timber from this vicinity.
