FRIDAY EVENINGS FIRE.
Confusion in the Alarm Due to an Extra
Box

The fire department was called out at
a few moments after o'clock Friday
night by an alarm which sounded 3-4-1.
The whistle blew 80, and crowd as
sembled at the corner of Front and
Cherry streets, where box 80 is located.
In the meantime the department was
trying to locate the fire, but it had
been extinguished almost before the
alarm had been turned in. The fire
was in a rubbish heap near DIR. w, A.
Beach's barn on South Broad street, and
parties going by thought the barn on
fire and turned in an alarm from the
corner of Walnut and Broad streets.
The regular number of this box is 81,
but it was out of service and the extra
box 341 was put there, without giving
notice, which led to the confusion.
Box 341 is used to replace any box that
is undergoing repairs, and will take the
place of box 81 for the present.

HIS BROTHER WOUNDED.

The dispatches from the Philippines
this week contain the fact of the severe
wounding of First Lieutenant Willis
Uline, while engaged in reconoitering
north of San Fernando. In the same
skirmish Lieut.. Drew was instantly
killed. Lieut.. Uline was wounded in
the neck. He is brother of Superin-
tendent H. B. Uline of the Mankato
city schools, and the latter is eagerly
awaiting more information. The
writer personally knew Lieut.. Uline, in
fact having roomed with him at school,
and can say that no nobler young man
or one with gentler spirit went to the
war than this unfortunate officer.

THE FIRE ORDINANCE.
A Test Case May Result From an Ar.
rest Made Today.

Ed Schumacher was arrested this
forenoon on warrant sworn out by
City Engineer J, R. Thompson, charg-
ing.him with violating the fire ordin-
ance by placing wooden beam over
two doors and wooden cornices, on his
new warehouse in the rear of
his store near the big mill. Mr..
Schumacher retained 81. L.
Schmitt as his attorney and asked
for time in which to plead. The trial
was set for Aug. 80 at 1000 a. m and
Mr.. Schumacher was allowed to go on
his own recognizance in the sum of 900.
Mr.. Schumacher has had more or less
trouble with the city authorities ever
since he started this building. 1t is
likely that the ordinance will now be
tested.

SMALLPOX.
Applications for Vaccination Are
Becoming Numerous.
The Most Approved Plan Avoids the
Soreness that Usually Followed
Vaccination.

Health Officer Holbrook states that
smallpox is prevailing in number OF
localities in Minnesota at the present
time. 1t may not reach Mankato, but
when cold weather comes it is expected
to prevail to greater extent than now.
So many railroads enter the city and so
many people are constantly coming and
going that there is more or less danger
of the dread disease appearing.
Applications are coming in to the
doctors for vaccination by pupils who
will enter the schools next month. The
old plan of having vaccine points has
been superseded to large extent by
little tubes Theoretically sealed and
holding enough vaccine for one person.
The arm is scratched and then the
tube is broken and the vaccine flows
upon the wound. By this plan the
vaccine can be kept indefinitely instead
of it beingInecesary to order fresh points
every day Another advantage is that
the arm does not become as sore as it
sometime does when vaccine points are
applied. The soreness is largely caus-
ed by germs foreign to the vaccine.
The immunity from smallpox that is
given by vaccination wears off in seven
years and vaccination must be repeated
Secretary Bracken, of the state board
of health, has issued circular on
smallpox, and we publish the following
extract at DR.. Holbrook's suggestion:
1.-THE diagnosis of smallpox is some
times difficult. Mild cases may be mis-
taken for chickenpox. Physicians in
attendance upon cases which they may
class as chickenpox should remember
that the law in Minnesota requires the
reporting of all contagious diseases
This includes chickenpox. The law
reads as follows: ....
Every physician shall report to the
local board of health, in writing, every
person having a contagious disease, and
the state of his or her disease, and his
or her place of dwelling, and name, if
known, which such physician has pre-
scribed for or ATTENDED for the first
time since haying a contagious disease,
or since the discovery of the same to be
contagious, during any part of the pre-
ceding twenty-four (24) hours; but not
more than two (2) reports shall be re-
quired in one ~ week concerning the
same person; but every attending physi-
clan must see that such report is or has
been made by some attending physi-
cian-
Sec. 81. 1t shall be the duty of
each and every practicing physician in
this state to report, in writing, to the
local board of health the death of any
of his patients who shall have died of
contagious or infectious disease, with
in twenty-four (24) hours thereafter,
and to state in such report the 'specifi-
ed (specifc) name and type of such
disease"

A NEW STATION.
Chicago Great Western Starts one on
Lake Washington Road.

The Chicago Great Western road is
believed to be about to establish new
new station between this city and Madi-
son Lake, at point nine miles from
Mankato and six from Madison Lake.
The road has purchased two and half
acres of land at the point where the
road to Lake Washington via the north
end of Eagle Lake crosses the track.
At this point another road comes in
from the south, and it is an excellent
location for station, as it would be a
good shipping point.
Grading on the land purchased by
the road began yesterday, and it is
thought to be the intention to erect a
depot and an elevator there, with the
expectation that a village will soon
cluster about this central point.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis road
had a side track at a point called
Waters, but the new location is mile
west of that point. .

WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES'

George H. Broadhurst's company will
play return engagement of this hilarious
comedy at the Auditorium next Wednesday
evening. Those who laughed at the trib-
ulations of the versatile Jones on his
former appearance here will hardly need to
be reminded of the scheme and incidents
of the play. The action of "Jones" oc-
ours during one evening in the home of
Ebenezer Goodly, a professor of anatomy
in a prominent Eastern university. The
family is expecting the arrival of the Rev.
Anthony Goodly, bishop of Ballarat, who
has not seen his brother, the pro-
fessor, for 80 years, and who has
never met any of the members of
the household. Unknown to most of the
other characters the good bishop has a
love affair on, stimulated by term of cor
respOndence. Upon his arrival he gets
mixed up in some goddess enterprises of a
sportive son-in-law-to-be, of the family,
and hymn-book drummer named Jones,
who is supposed to be detective. A tail
torn from a coat-which coat becomes evil
dence against the bishop-and the great
activity of the hymn-book drummer, pro-
vide abundant laughter for the evening
The company is good one, comprising
several we'll known favorites.

Melvin H. Robinson of Bennington, who
said he represented the Wilmington and
Readsboro papers and the Vermont Farm
Journal, reported at the North Adams,
Mass, police station Monday story of
the loss of his watch and some clothing
and valuable papers. He said he went
there Sunday, and to pass away the time
went out riding with man he did not
know. He lmblbed more or less freely,
and later found that his SIS watch, his
grip containing his clothing and all his re-
celpts were missing. The alleged thief
was soon arrested and gave his name as
Albert Armstrong. He denied the charges.
