country, it is well enough to be pre-
pared against its attacks. 1t is possible
that the following admonition of Chi
cago health department may apply to
the kissing bug as we'll at the microbes
'Do not let others kiss you indiscrimi-
nately, and never without first care
fully wiping your lips with carbolized
rose water and thoroughly drying
them"
In speaking of this regulation. the
Chicago Times Herald observes that
cit would seem to simple minded
man who had not had the advantage of
medical training that there is no harm
in exchanging few microbes with an
attractive young lady by kissing her.
If we must have microbes it strikes US
they are better served this way than to
serve them boiled or on the half shell. }"
Continuing, the Times Herald says:
Hereafter when young lady carries
bottle of carbolized rose water dang
ling from her belt and occasionally
sponges her lips with the sweet smelling
decoction, it may be taken as signal
of distress.
Young ladies will readily see the ne
cessity of having good quantity of
carbolized rose water on hand. 1t is
we'll to have several gallons in the par
lor in case of an emergency. Ii a
young man should be skillfully and
adroitly led up to the crisis where few
more oscillations would bring him to
the asking point, and the supply of car
bolized rose water should suddenly give
out, the consequences would be too ap
palling to contemplate.

Day-Rumors That Glaring Mis-
counts Had Been Discovered.

Many office holders are on the anxious
seat That mistakes" were made in the
counting of the ballots has been proved,
but to what extent no one at present
knows. The fact that mistakes" were
made was brought to light yesterday dur
ing the count of ballots cast in the Twen-
ty-eghth District, the count being in the
contested election of Martin F. Fragley
on behalf of r. P Doolan, who met de-
feat as a candidate for the office of Su-
perintendent of Streets.
The matter of the recount was taken
up by Judge Hebbard at the opening Of
the morning session. Fragleys counsel
moved for a dismissal, which Judge Heb
bard denied and then ordered the re-
count to begin. Registrar Buggy produced
the ballots of the TWenty-eighth District
and work proceeded. Snap tallyists in
numbers lowered round the counting ia
bles Judge Low was present sizing up
matters. DR.. c. c. O'Donnell, defeated
candidate for Coroner, was represented,
as were Supervisor Byington and Judge
Wallace. At the close of the days count
it was announced that Fragley had gained
four votes and lost one. Doolan gained
two votes and lost four, leaving Fragley
a balance of five votes gain. 1t was ru-
mored among the snap tallyists that May
or Phelan had gained twenty votes in
the Third Precinct of the Twenty-eighth
District; that Maher had gained fifteen
and District Attorney Murphy had lost
fifteen. These rumors could not be veri-
fed, however, but the alarmists enjoyed

Autopsy Failed to Show the Cause Of
Death-The Stomach Will Be
Analysed by the Coroner.

Peter Elmer Jacobson, a 10-year-old boy
whose parents reside at 1896 Howard
street, died yesterday under circum-
stances which make an inquest necessary.
DR.. p. A. Kearney was called in by the
boys parents at o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon, and found him suffering with
pains as though from an injury. He
learned that the boy had hurt himself
while playing in the yard.
At o'clock, when the doctor called
again, he found the boy in dying condi-
ton. The boy had eaten some walnuts
shortly before he had been taken SICK
and it was believed that he was suffering
from some form Of poisoning, but there
were no indications of poison save the
pains in the stomach.
DR.. Zabala performed an autopsy on the
body last evening and was unable to as
certain the cause of death. There was no
indication of any injury whatever Inc
stomach was reserved for the chemist,
who will analyze the contents to-day.
DR.. Kearney was seen last night, and
said he thought there was nothing suspi-
cious in the case. 1t is his belief that
death might have been due to extreme

eaten a number of the walnuts which she
admits were not fresh. DR.. kearney is of
the opinion that the boy gorged himself
