Home from Tie War.

Henry Jensen OF the battleship
Oregon arrived in town at midnight
yesterday on a land-leaye Of week or
ten days. About fifty Of his friends,
who had learned incidentally Of his
coming, got together to make little
noise in his honor and shake the hand
that had helped to run the Oregon in
her incom parable cruise around the
Horn and taken part in the battle Of
Santiago. lie drove in from Hudson
with his brother, and before lie had
fairly struck the city limits the bells
were tipping him Jolly welcome, and
a knot Of men stood ready at the
corner TO give him lively cheer as he
drove up to his home. After the
lapse of a decent interval, during
which Henry's tanned countance was
being smothered ia feminine en-
braces, the crowd gave a warning
hip and advanced on its naval hero.
A round OF cheers went up and the
flag was promptly hoisted as cadet
DCnE1tI NtAlAiC OhC VII SAAC SANll9 tAAAh
told how glad he was to be home. He
shook hands all around, with a good
word for everybody, and insisted on
the boys coming in to share some Of
the plentiful rations that had been
prepared against his coming He
talked readily about the war and the
ship, but wasn't urged to make a
speech-his voice being spared for
more formal occasion.
The Oregon is to be dry-docked for
oyerhauling and Henry viii have
leave of perhaps ten days.

ODIt udi y
A death that was attended with great
deal of sadness and awakened a very
deep sympathy among all our townspeo-
pie, was that of Mrs Carrie Olson, wife OF
Martin Olson, which occurred Saturday,
August twentieth, at the home on the
west side. Mrs. Olson has been suffering
for two years with heart disease, and
though it was felt that death could be the
only outcome Of her illness, the end
brought none the less of sorrow for her
loss or of regret that she should SO soon
be cut off from the love of devoted fam
lily and the enjoyments of the ripest
fruits Of life.
Mrs. Olson was born at Vestre Thoten,
Norway, on June IA, 1857, and her age
was hence but Ii years, 3 months and 6
days. She came to this country at the
age of II years, and was married to Mr..
Martin Olson when 81 at the Lutheran
church in Martell, October 6, 1873. On
coming to River Falls with her husband,
she united with the Ezekiel Lutheran
church, and has been It's falthlul auu
constant member
Those that mourn her loss most tender
ly are a mother, who has been an inmate
of her house for many years, husband
whose love she has enjoyed in undivided
measure, two brothers and two daugh-
tiers, Alma and Clara, in whose graces she
could but note the results Of her own
gentle example and kind teaching. For
these bereaved relatives, and particularly
for the sorrowing husband, the many
friends of the family now feel the warm
est sympathy and coincidence.
The funeral was conducted Monday at
$50 in the Ezekiel church, Rev. Blom-
holm assisted by Rev. Mcintosh, con-
Quoting the services. The remains were
buried at Green wood.

A NOTABLE sEMI-CENTENNIAL.

Bfrmin gham's Celebration of an I'm.
pOrtant Anniversary.
A sanitary congress and exhibition has
just been held at Birmingham England, to
commemorate the fftleth anniversary Of the
enactment Of municipal sanitary laws, for
it was in 1S4s that the first public health
act was passed by the British Parliament.
1t was an epoch in English history, relates
the Chicago Record. 1t marks the beginning
of the improvement OF the condition Of the
working classes Since that date the aver
age death rate has been diminished 80 per
cent in the United Kingdom, from 2Ss per
1000 in the cities, during the first ten years
from 1s4S to 1858, to 1875 from 1883 to 1898,
and in the country from 24.9 to 173 per 900.
The improved condition among the poor has
prolonged human existence as we'll as in
creased the comforts Of the people. Among
other acts of Parliament which have since
been passed are laws for good drainage, pure
air, pure food, pure water, factory ventila-
tion, protection against infectious diseases,
tenement inspection and other regulations
for the housing Of the poor. Sir Joseph
Farer, president Of the British Health asso-
citation, in his opening address declared that
half century ago the great mass of the
people lived and died under conditions which
violated all the now well known principles
Ou WulSu uedlpA ucpcuus. IL
norance and vested interests stood in the
way of progress and but little effort was
made to correct the one or remove the
others; government looked on with indifrer-
ence; the people knew little and thought
less Of the efficacy Of pure air, pure water,
cleanly and uncrowded dwellings, temper
ance and other conditions which are now
we'll known to be essential to health. They
had no idea that tnfective disease is but too
frequently the scourge Of uncleanliness,
overcrowding and disregard Of simple laws
of health. Statesmen have learned to real
ize that sanitary science comes well within
the sphere of practical politics and that It
is an important part Of the duty of execu-
tive governments, whether general or local,
to protect the people from disease which
may be prevented or controlled"
1t was appropriate that such an anniver-
sary should be celebrated in Birmingham,
which is frequently referred to as the best
governed city IN tho world. Whether or not
that Ia true. Birmingham certainly has made
greater progress In municipal socialism than
any other city. Almost everything Ii mu-
nicipalized. 1t was pioneer in municipal
tenement houses, markets, slaughter houses,
museums, art galleries, libraries, Industrial
schools, public laundries and baths, street
car lines, gas plants. electric lighting, and
draws most Of Its revenues from business
blocks erected by the city upon ground which
was formerly covered with the slums and
was purchased In order to eradicate them.
Municipal sanitation is probably carried to
greater perfection In Birmingham than In
any other city in the world and the COM
mon council is now spending $1,000 900 In
the purchase Of farm upon which the sew
age Of the city may be utilized az q fertil-
iZef,
