rnEsCH CRUISER PUTS TO SEA.

BREST. France. June. &-The French
first-class cruiser Tage put to sea this
afternoon, the official explanation being
that she has gone to experiment with
carrier pigeons. She Ia, however. much
larger cruiser than the Sfax. which Is

therefore, gains ground, that the Tage

A certain county office is, according to
report, to undergo an investigation by
the board of county commissioners, and
a committee was appointed for the pur-
pose at the executive meeting Of the
board held yesterday afternoon.
The board went into executive session
with all the members present besides
County Auditor Johnson and Assistant
County Attorney Zollman, at whose re-
quest outsiders were vigorously excluded.
AS soon as the board had left the coun-
ell chamber and adjourned into one of the
little committee rooms, Mr.. Zollman made
a statement to the commissioners in
which he said one of the county offices
is being conducted in haphazard and
irregular manner.
The charges preferred created sensa-
ton among the members of the board,
and on motion the committee on records,
composed of Commissioners Gray, Wright
and Powers, was requested to make
| thorough investigation.
All of the commissioners and Assistant
County Attorney Zollman refused to talk
on the subject when seen last evening,
but the information is derived from a
trustworthy source.

UNITE TO TACKLE Thu TRUSTS
CONNER CIAL Statesmen ACTIVE IN
THE FORMATION OF ANTI
TRUST LEAGUE
A Meeting EARLY in August, to Be
Followed by Mass Meeting
During Fair Week - Extracts
From Letters on the Subject.

A meeting of commercial statesmen has
been called for Saturday evening, Aug. 3,
to be held at some place to be hereafter
named, the object being to form an anti
trust league Two weeks ago a call was
made through the daily press for ex-
pressions from statesmen on the question
Of organizations and a large number of
letters have been received. The move
ment seems toihave struck a popular
chord. Not only travelling men, but bust
ness men and hotel men as well are in
sympathy with the movement. Letters
have been received from every quarter,
all favoring the movement, and the sug-
gestion of an early organization, followed
later by a mass meeting, probably state
fair week, under the auspices of the as
ISOLATION, will be carried out. AT that
time addresses will be made and resolu
lions adopted. In this manner a strong
sentiment can be created. The CONNER
cial salesman claims to hold the balance
of power politically in several states, and
with proper organization he may become
a power in politics. Extracts from let
tiers, as furnished by H. L. Chaffee, show
the consensus of opinion among the
travelling men. For the present, and un-
til an organization is perfected, travelling
men and business men who are interested
in such an organization are requested
to send in their names to Room 400
Northwestern building, Minneapolis The
following extract is from the letter re-
ceived from the representative of one of
the large clothing, houses:
81 read your article in one of the papers,
and wish to congratulate you on your
exposition of the trusts, as effecting some
of our brothers, who have spent the best
of their lives on the road. l am strictly
in accord with any movements, regard
less of party, to down these trusts, and
protect ourselves from future disaster in
our old age. 1 shall be glad to take any
part, aggressively, in any future plans
which you and others may formulate for
action
The following is written from Casselton,
N. D.:
81 suggest that you call a convention
of antitrust travelling men during state
fair week, and you will get larger num-
Der Of them that way, 1 should think.
Anything to beat the trusts should be the
Ho Rube! and every man running for
political preferment should be required to
pledge his support and influence along
that line, if elected.

KISSING BUG ARRIVES
FINDS IT'S WAY TO

of Poisonous Sting Received

During the Night-Charge Laid to
the Unseen and Unexpected Little
kissing Bug.
The kissing bug" that has been on
the rampage in the East, has arrived in
st. Paul. He came last Sunday night and
selected as his first victim Fred w.
Goeswisch, g. clerk in the probate court.
Yesterday Goeswiseh was confined to his
home at North st. Paul with a painfully
swollen cheek, where the insect had left
its carte de visite. DR.. Canac-Marqufs,
Of S51 Washington street, who lanced
the swelling, says that it is clearly a case
Of blood poisoning and from all appear
ances was caused by the bite of some in
sect. Goeswisch himself is confident that
the swelling was not there when he re-
tired Sunday night.
GOesWisch sought repose rather early,
and owing to the heat was betrayed into
sleeping with the windows in his room
open. He was in excellent health, and
consequently slept soundly until along
towards morning, when he remembers
being partially awakened by some insect
flying about him. Then he went to sleep
again. When he arose yesterday morning
his left cheek was swollen and exceeding
ly painful. Considerably puzzled, Goes
wisch went to his office, where he re-
manned for a couple of hours. By this
time the swelling had grown to the size
of an orange and he was suffering eXcru-
ciating agony.
Dr. CanaC- Marquis was called, and pro-
nounced the swelling to be the result of
some subtle poison that had in some way
been introduced into the system. He
lanced the cheek, and after applying
remedies to alleviate the pain Goeswisch
was sufficiently recovered to return to his
home. Then he remembered about the
strange bug that had bothered him in
the night -
When Goeswisch reached his home he
was feVerish from the pain, but last
evening the swelling had largely disap-
peared under treatment
1.-THE swelling was brood poisoning be-
yond doubt" said DR. Marquis
last evening. ''It was right on the left
cheek and bore all the appearances of
having resulted from the sting of some
insect. The skin was apraded in the CEN
ter of the swelling, At the time when
he came to me Goeswisch was unable to
account for the protuberance. It may
have been caused D% a kissing pug. L
never saw a woundo3ust like it"
The bug that caused the trouble, al
though generally known as the kissing
bug" in localities where it has created
havoc by its habit of biting persons on
the face or rips, is known to scientists
as the melanO1estes picipes. Until re-
Gently it was never known to feed on
man. It's favorite victim heretofore has
been the humble bed bug, and its most
acceptable feeding time was Immediately
after that bug had imbibed meal Of
human blood.
In this way the little melanolestes pi-
eipes acquired a taste for human blood
1t has now gone into the business for it
self and obtains its food supply without
the aid OF a Vicarious distributor.

SLASH Al EXPERT PRINTER
POSES TO CUT HIS SALARY
IN TWAIN
No Definite Action Taken, and the
Budget Will Come Before the
County Commissioners and the
Conference Committee.

County Commissioners and the
Conference Committee.
City Comptroller McCardy was the cen
trail figure of the meeting of the county
commissioners and a committee Of the
conference committee that was held yes
terday for the purpose Of discussing the
county tax budget. Three previous meet
in3s had been adjourned because the
comptroller had promised to show how
$1,000 could be shaved off the budget and
was unable to be present. The net result
of the meeting yesterday, in which he
took a prominent part, was the sugges-
ton that the salary of the county printer
be cut from $50 a month to S25. No def
mite action was taken and the budget
will come up for another inning at 4:30
Thursday afternoon.
All the members of the board and of the
committee besides County Auditor John
son and Chief Deputy Bourne were pres
ent at the meeting. The latter was arm
ed with a copy of the proposed budget
and the comptroller with another. After
the mayor had commented on the wealth
er and Commissioner Gray had removed
his coat, Mr.. McCardy opened fire by
asking questions and the entire list OF
items was gone over carefully, each ellie
iting some comment but no suggestion.
'NO city or no county can set along
as it should that tumbles all it's money
into one fund and pays all expenses out
of that" said Mr.. McCardy. THAT used
to be the way with the city. For ten
years checks were drawn for all purposes
and paid out Of the money in the treas
ury. Then the city adopted the plan of
separating the items of the general fund,
which corresponds to the county's revenue
fund. Police, fire and a whole lot of other
accounts were started and when there is
not money in a fund no money is paid
out"
1.-THE position is different with the coun-
ty." observed County Auditor Johnson.
'The legislature ought to change it,"
replied Mr.. McCardy, f1ercely. 81 see the
county printing bill last year was about
$1,000. You are spending $50 per month
on an expert printer. Now, the city has
more printing than the county, and pays
its expert $25 per month. I have no
doubt he would be glad to do the work
Of both for $40 per month extra. Let one
man do all the work. Suppose the county
cuts its man to SIS, there would be a
saving of $780,
''The board Of county commissioners
hired that man and fixed his salary; the
question of whether we have one at all
or what to pay him is none of my bust
ness" said Mr.. Johnson, looking very de-
faint.
Then the board of control estimates
were taken up and the roads and bridges
fund came in for a share of attention,
but nothing practicable was suggested.

WILL BE NO MILK FAMINE.
Nothing but Temporary Shortage
in Supply.

Some concern has been manifested in
the city over a rumored milk famine
There is, however, according to those ia
miliar with the situation, no danger Of a
famine. although the supply is ut this
time of the year not so large as the de-
mand. Owing to the fact that the cattle
arc feeding on pasture land the cream is
more abundant and Of Il richer quality
now than at any other season of the year,
but cows do not give cutie as much
milk for the reason that they are driven
from the feeding grounls by flies and
the heat. Instead of feeding all day on
the rich grass the anima,s seek the shade
during most of the CAY, thus diminiehi
in a measure their supply of milk. 1t is
pointed out that a falling off to the ex-
tent of q pint or half pint of milk
a day for each COW means a shortage
in the supply, but does not as matter
of fact render anything in the nature Of
a milk famine imminent.
According to the Milton dairy manage
ment there is plenty of milk for local
consumption.
