\ Inero seems 10 D0 LITTLE DOUBT that
there is q CAGE Of smallpox In this
city. James Mcintyre, who has
been employed at the sorting w orks
On the Mississippi about two miles
north 81 the city, was called to Anoka
about two weeks ago to zee his els
ter who was Ill. Mr.. Mcintyre, we
are informed, stated that his sister.
had smallpox, but he was not al.
lowed to see her, and had therefore
not been exposed to thedisease.
\ He returned to work but did not
ieel we'll and came down to this city
Friday. A rash had broken out on
him, but when he consulted one Of
The city physicians he was assured
that he had nothing but chicken

!. His symptoms grew stronger and
meeting Sheriff Rider. on the street
Monday and knowing that Mr..
Rider had once had smallpox, In
auired as to the Symptoms. Mr.
Rider examined Mcintyre and I'M
1hesitatingly pronounced the disease
smallpox. - i.-,..,:. ~ = i
I The sheriff advised Mcintyre to see
"a physician at once, and to get him
self as soon as possible to some place
where the danger Of spreading the
disease would be less than where he
was then located. He then con
suited another doctor, who also
tn bought as the sheriff did and sent
him to the hospital, where he was
'isolated from the other inmates of
that institution. Health Officer
Chance, and DR.. Fortier, both have
seen the patient today, and both are
quite certain that McIntyre's disease
lie genuine smallpox.
: Health Officer Chance took i'm
mediate steps to prevent the spread
tof the disease. He secured a vacant
h ouse owned by N. Richardson
about quarter of a mile east of the
convent, located some distance from
any other habitation, and is having
it fitted up for pest house.
At 2 ! o'clock DR.. Chance
stated that he expected to have the
patient removed from the hospital
to the pest houee in an hour,

notified and it is expected that some
member of the board will be sent up
here to Investigate. -,..,
+ To just what extent Mcintyre has
exposed others to this disease is not
known. 1t is claimed by some that
he had been stopping at the Little
# alls house from Friday, the day he
day he came down from the boom
house, until Monday. This is, denied
BY the authorities. - 10 T., rs
.The men at work at. the sorting
wor ks must have been exposed, at
any rate, and it is thought that
there ia some chance of it's being
quite a serious epidemic here.
The authorities, however, will
take all precautions possible to pre-
vent it's spread, and 1T may not
amount to a greaU deal after all.
However, it would be wise for all
our citizens who have not heretofore
been vaccinated to take that pre-
caution, and cooperate as much as
possible with the authorities in their
efforts to stamp it out II it proves to
be smallpox. p.

Statistic. of British Fmirrants.

Statistics just issued by the Board of Trade show that during 1899 a total Of 241, ,405 emigrants left Great Britain as compared with POE, III in the previ> ous year. The greater proportion of this Increased outflow of 36,000 con- sisted of foreigners. However; these were ..birds of passage" numbering e0000 compared with 60000 in 1898. The number of British emigrants was over 6,009 in excess of that in 1898, and it is remarkable that this was wholly due to an increased exodus from Ireland, 5000 more persons of Irish birth leaving last year, prac- tieally all going to the United States, while the English emigrants were 5000 fewer. Of the total number of British emigrants, viz, 146,777, no fewer thaL 92,532 were bound for the great Re public, an increase of 22,000 as com> pared with 1898, and 16,451 for British North America, decrease of 1,20C Australia received Il, AIS, against I0,- G93, while the outlook of war so seri- ously checked emigration to South Africa that the number declined from is.756 in 1898 to 14.5s0 last year.

Irrigation In Siberis.

If the winters are long in Siberia. and very cold, on the other hand, the summers are extremely warm and dry. The small streams of water dry Up dur. ing this season, and agriculture suffers much from this state of things. To remedy the evil, the inhabitants of certain districts in winter collect the snow and accumulate it at the bottom of some narrow valley. They press tt and make it compact so that 1t will be more resistant 10 thawing. At the end of the winter they cover the enormous piles which they have thus formed with branches, straw or earth, in order to protect the snow against the rays of the sun and the exterior heat. Then. when after long days without rain the water of the streams begin to dry up, the snow, in spite of it's covering. commences to melt, and by means Of a ditch made for this purpose tie water which runs down supplies the siYer un- til the raturn of winter

Noted Paintings by Lamented American
 4 Tt iat

The death of Frederick Edwin Church, the veteran landscape painter, removed a Wea-knewR figure in art life Of this country, better remembered perhaps by a past generation than by the younger set. He was born in Hart ford, Conn., May 1, 1926. His talent for art was prominent and in early life he determined to adopt art as q profession and placed himself under the instruction of Thomas Cole, and resided with him in the Catskills. He soon became well known as land scape painter. and critics awarded him praise for his accuracy of drawing and vivid appreciation of nature. He spent a short time ia Switzerland, and in 1853 visited South America to study the picturesque scenery. ''The Heart Of the Andes" which create1 a great sensation, was first exhibited in 1858. and was bought by the late William T. Blodgett Other well-known works painted about the same period are The Andes of Ecuador" "Cotapaxi," !" now at the Ienox library, Climber aze. His @yiew of Niagara Falls" now in the Gorcoran art gallery. Washington, D. C., is recognized as the first satisfactory production by art of this wonderful piece of nature; ii won prize at the French exhibition In 1S67 Another painting of ''Magra" was painted for A T. Stewart in 1886. the price paid for it by MT. Stewart being $12,000 Tn 1873 he was again represented at the French capital with two pictures, Morning in the Tropics" and The Parthenon." He travelled extensiYelyin in this country and abroad, studying nature and giving to the world numerous productions of q high character number of his works are owned in England. one of his principal works being "Icebergs," which was purchased by Sir Edward Watson, M.

GREAT CITY FOR PADLocxs.
Phenomenal Way in Which They Flour
 ish at Irkutsk.


 Irkutsk, the accepted capital of ori- ental Siberia, is city of padlocks. It has only about 51 ,000 inhabitants, yet there are more padloeks on the shut ters and doors of Irkutsk stores than can bs found in an American city of 200, ,000. There are as many as three padlocks on some store doors, and every lower story sh alter bears from one to five. The paddock weighs from one to fifteen pounds. The popular size is five pounds and two and one- half inches thick, says the Chicago Record. The closing of a store is an affair of consequence. The heavy shut ters are swung together, the ponderous iron bars are put in place, the padlocks are adjusted and locked, and then comes the final and serious ceremony of locking the door. The door Is shut, the bars are placed, and the paddock is fixed and locked, and the Yerdant stranger thinks the closing operation is ever. It is not A piece of cord is drawn through the hasp of the paddock, and the two ends are held against the door by clerk or boy, while the pro- prietor melts a piece of sealing wax and sticks the ends to the door. On the hot wax he places his private stamp 4 promenade on an Irkutsk business street after closing time shows the huge padloeks, the two lines of string and fat dab of red wax as big as silver dollar.

The business man of Irkutsk has no faith in a stringless paddock. learned that through the wax and rag medium the owner of store knew if his lock had been tam pered with during the night.

 A plague of the octopus is reported at 0stend, and the age-famous oyster beds of that resort are in serious dan ger.

Some of those in the gulf measure as much as tWenty-one feet across the body, their arms stretching out infinitely it seems. to their prey. They do not at tack men as a rule, but there have been many fierre e0mb2ts when an unfortun- ete fisherman happened to hook one.
