SCARLET FEVER RAGING.
Some Interesting Figures Concerning
Health Conditions.

It is a fact not generally known that
since the first of this year, ninety-siX
cases of scarlet fever have been re-
ported, ten more than half the number
of cases last year. Twenty-Five of these
cases have come to the notice of the
health department since May l, and al
ready this year the deaths from scarlet
fever have equaled the entire number
for the year 1897.
In 1897 and in 1898 there We're seven
deaths from diphtheria, while so far
this year the fatalities from the dread
disease number four. Fortunately
however, there is not now a single case
of diphtheria known to exist in the city
OF typhoid fever the year has gone so
far without a single case coming to the
notice OF the health officials. but this
is malady that develops later in the
season. Compared with 1897, last year
there were fewer cases of this infection
reported and also a less number of
deaths from typhoid.

a sidetrack. Mclean has always been
an ardent supporter of the silver
champion and the platform on which
he was nominated endorses him for
the presidential nomination. Never
theless it is believed that he is in
terested with German, Croaker, Van
Wyck and other eastern democrats in
a move to prevent Bryan controlling
the next national convention. If Nc
Lean runs strong in Ohio it will give
him sUrong prestige and the democrats
may see in him the man on whom they

Bryan is supposed to hold the nomi-

certainly has strong following but
the question is, is his strength waning.
Senator John M. Thurstou has recent

How to Get Ton Prices.

To get the advantage of full market
prices for eggs nothing is more i'm
portant than the style of the cases and
packing. OF course size and cleanness
are very important considerations, but
the first thing that strikes the eye of
purchaser is the exterior quality. l
notice many lots of eggs, especially
from the south, which come into the
stores in an sorts of cases-scarcely
two alike, and none of them neat and
trim. These goods are generally con-
demned before they are looked at and
can only be sold at a concession, no
matter how good the eggs may be.

while all eggs in first-class packages
may not sell at top prices, no eggs in
second or third class packages will do

Sympathy for Dreyfus.

| The whole world is extending its
sympathy to Dreyfus and denouncing
in most severe terms the action of the
court martial. In London a monster
demonstration will be held in Hyde
Park, twenty-one platforms having
been erected upon which speakers will
appeal to France to do Dreyfus justice.
In several cities in this country it is
proposed to hold similar mass meet
ings.
individuals have expressed their in
dignation in various ways and in some
very foolish ways. 1t was hardly sem
sible in L. B. Wright, of the L. B.
Wright Iron Painting Co., to dismiss
all Frenchmen in his employ. They
are made to suffer for an act they are
in no way responsible for. Neither
was it reasonable for Col Thomas of
CINCINNATI to burn the French tri-col-
or as a sign of his indignation. There
is reason for the people to be indignant
but there is also reasonable way to
express that feeling. ..,
The Paris Exposition will probably
have, in this verdict against Dreyfus, a

Grosvenor of Ohio is right when he
says that no nation can afford to do

Candidates for the Senate.

1t is now announced that Hon. Q. A.
Prouty of Newport is in the field
as candidate for the United States
Senate. Senator Ross does not take
kindly to the talk of his being a guber-
national candidate, evidently prefering
to remain where he is. Circuit will
fight, tooth and nail, to secure the seat.
This will render the contest a bit com
plicated in Caledonia and Orleans
counties. Grout is a sort of resident of
both counties and may run little
strong on that account. If he can o5-
tain solid delegation in either county
his fences are in better condition than

late Senator Morrill,, is watching the
triple fight in these two count lies with

PRESERVING EGGS.
Directions for the Use of Water Glass
Furnished by Prof. Laid, of
North Dakota College.

Prof. Laid, of North Dakota College
of Agriculture, in bulletin No. 35, gives
the following directions for the use of
water glass in keeping eggs. Water
glass is silicate of soda or silicate of
potash, the former being cheaper. 1t
is not expensive.
If wooden kegs or barrels are to be
used in which to pack the eggs, they
should first be thoroughly scalded with
boiling water to sweeten and purify
them.
To each ten quarts of water, which
should first be boiled and then cooled,
add one quart of water glass. Pack
the eggs in the vessel and pour solution
over them, covering well.
Keep the eggs in cool, dark place.
A dry, cool cellar is good place.
If the eggs are kept in too warm
place the silicate is deposited and the
eggs are not properly protected. Do
not wash the eggs before packing, for
by so doing you injure their keeping
quality.
For packing use only perfectly fresh
eggs, for stale eggs will not be saved
and may prove harmful TO others.
All packed eggs contain a little gas,
and in boiling such eggs they will
crack. This may be prevented by
making a pin hole in the blunt end of
the egg. To do this hold the egg in the
hand, place the point of a pin against
the shell of the egg at the blunt end, and
give the pin quick, sharp blow, just
enough to drive the pin through the
shell without further injury to the egg.

The organizations Of labor recognize
that a large standing army Is always
necessary to maintain Imperialism. and
that the heads OF the army are always
anxious to prosecute their profession,
which is the slaughter Of man. They also
