WATER is NOT DIRTY.
DR.. Ohnge Has Analyses of Rive
Samples Made.

In view of the comments that have
been made as TO the dirty condition of
the water in the river where DIR. Ohage
proposes to establish public baths, he has
had analyses made. DR.. G. A. REM, as
sistant health commissioner and bacteriol-
ogist, fnGs the water clear, slightly col
ored with a small amount OF sediment,
slight trace of organic matter but no
ammonia chlorides, nitrates or nitrtes.
He adds
THE water is quite pure and could in
case of necessity be drunk with safety;
besides the archaeological analysis shows
no bacill which would render the water
unfit for bathing purposes. The site
chosen is above the exit of sewerage in
ST. Paul and the Minneapolis water has
been purified by the current before it
reaches our city
Herman Schoberg, assistant bacteriol-
ogist, reports the same chemical an

caIities Throughout the State
Terms of the Law.
SIOUX FALLS, Oct. st is believed
the registration law passed at the last
session of the South Dakota legislature,
which will apply for the first time to
the election next month, will prove very
beneficial in its results, and will prevent
the wholesale voting of transients, which
has been the practice for years in many
localities throughout the state.
The terms of the new law do not seem
to be generally known. The mayor, clerk
and treasurer of every Incorporated city,
and the chairman of the board of trus-
tees, clerk and treasurer of every incor-
porated town or village, the board of SUI
pervisors of every organised civil town
ship, and in voting precincts where there
is nc organized civil townships the judges
of election last appointed, shall constitute
the board of registration for such city,
town, village, township or voting pre-
cinct The law provides that the board of
registration shall meet on the last Tues
day next preceding the day of election,
at 9 o'clock in the morning, which date
the law also fixes as the last regular
meeting of the board of supervisors of
organized townships for each calendar
year. The registration board shall con-
tinue in session until 6 o'clock in the
evening. Sessions must be held at the
place selected as the voting booth in all
townships or Lnorganized voting pre-
cincts, but in cities, towns and villages
the sessions are to be held at the usual
place of meeting of the city council or
board of trustees.
Assessors last spring were required to
make lists of all voters. These lists are
to be submitted to the registration
boards, which will correct them so far as
may be necessary, and add, where they
are omitted, the names of such other per-
sons who are known to the board to be
electors in the precinct, or who shall be
proved to be electors in the precinct upon
the sworn affidavits of the persons apply
ing TO be registered, or upon the atiida-
Wits of persons whose names already
have been placed upon the poll list.
After the adjournment OF the meetings
of the registration boards, the boards
shall, within two days after the adjourn
ment, cause two copies of the reSlStra-
ton list to be made, each of which shall
be certified to by the members of the
board as being correct. One of the copies
must be delivered to judge of election
in the precinct al least one day before
the election for which the list is prepared,
and the other shall be delivered to the
county auditor at least three days pre-
ceding the election. Voters who for
some unavoidable reason, or oversight,
neglect to register at the time required by
the law, may have their ballots accepted
by furnishing an affidavit showing them
to be residents and qualified electors in
the precinct They will also be required
to state the reason why they were not
registered at the proper time. Affidavits
of this character must be corroborated
by two electors who have been registered
in accordance with the law.

of Marks Were Gambled Away.
BERLIN, Oct. 3.-The long deferred
trial of the persons charged with gam
bling at the Club der Hermeslen began in
Berlin today, and has already developed
great sensation. A number of impor-
tant witnesses belonging to the highest
families are reported to have fled the
country, or to be otherwise beyond the
reach OF the process of the court. The
evidence presented, however, showed
most abominable state of affairs. The
Associated Press is informed that 1900, GEO
marks have been lost within the short
period of the clubs existence. Two of
the defendants, Herr Bruno Won Kaiser,
a government official, and Herr Paul Won
Schachtmeyer, in the course of a single
evening won 100000 marks each. Herr
Won krocher won $1,000. Count Egloff-
stein, Count Stoch and Count Dohona
lost from $4,000 to 10000 marks each.
Today's evidence showed the unmistaka-
bic use of doctored cards on several oc-
casions.
Herr Won Kusseron, the bank holder,
has fed to the United States.
Emperor William has given instructions
that the trial is to be carried through
to the end without fear or favor, although
Count Won Koenigsmarck and Herren Won
bonin and Won Prittuitz, members of the
club, are in his personal encourage.
