New Muster Plans Commended.

That Portland people are we'll salts
fled with the success of the muster
under the new regime is shown by the
following from the Portland Press:
Portland military men feel that the
enCampment. this year. has been OF
more value to the National Guard than
any held before in many years.
"All Of the show and buster of form
er encampments was done away with
and the two regiments going into camp
separately devoted themselves to hard
work without any fuss or feathers.
The headquarters mess was simplicity
itself. The staff officers and the Gov
ernor himself when in camp ate with
iron knives ana forks very simple and
plain food. 1t seemed to be the desire
of all the officers and men to learn as
much as possible and the result was
highly satisfactory to all who witnessed
anuy Of the work at these encamp-
mentS."

The inmates were harry expecting call

taken TO the police station, where they
spent the night. There were six in the
party, the three men being wen known
in town
Complaints have been made to the
police ever since the place was opened
up, two weeks ago when muster first
opened. The officers have not seen the

work to good advantage and be sure of
making a capture, 50 waited until last

has seen far less than the usual num-
Der Of fatalities among children. I'm
less an unusual turn Of events takes
place the month Will 60 down as having
the fewest number of deaths Of chill
dren, in recent years.
No month in the year Is more dreaded
by mothers and family physicians than
August From the time the hot wealth
er sets in until the cool nights Of Sep
tember begin. each mother is anxious
lest her child shall not survive. Win
the hot days and the sleepless nights
seem to start the foundation for
cholera infantum. Then again it is al
most impossible to get food that can
be assimulated without childish disor-
dcrS With the hot weather when the
child cannot have its maps during the
day and the nights when the cries of
babies are oftenest heard by the police
men on the night force. everything
seems to work against the little ones
and the greater part of the physicians
practice is that Of attending to childish
disorders
A local physician who has made in
quiries into the matter says that so far
only - deaths from cholera infantum
have resulted in the city. this summer.
He is 4 physician whose practice takes
him into the most thickly settled parts
of the city and where the childish dis
orders would be most likely to occur
with resulting death.
When asked the reason for the small
number of deaths he stated without
hesitation that it was on account Of the
short hot spells. 1T is then when the
hot periods lengthen out into weeks
that the deaths occur" he said. When
we have a few hot days and then a
change comes 50 that there Will be n
few days of cool weather the children
health being undermined by the heat.
Then they store up strength to endure
the next siege to their health. AS long
as that condition of affairs continues
there is no danger of serious results in
the majority of cases. Now and then a
child is found who cannot stand the
heat in allopathic doses but the major
ity pull through without trouble"
With the month so far gone there is
little fear that the number of deaths
will greatly increase and the physicians
and anxious parents are feeling much
relieved.

LOOKING FOR HAENEL.
Up to a Late Hour Last Night He
Had Not Been Arrested.

Up to Late Hour Last Night He
Had Not Been Arrested.
Deputy Sheriff Hanson has in his hands
a bench warrant for the arrest Of Henry
Haenel, who has been indicted by the
grand jury for bigamy. Haenel, who, up
to a short time ago, kept saloon on
Robert street, near the end of the bridge,
was about the court house Tuesday,
but since then has not been seen. The
bench warrant was not given to the sher-
iff until Wednesday, and up to a late hour
last evening Haenel had not been taken
in custody.
Haenel married his first wife at Denver.
March %, 1890. He claims that his wife
deserted him I'm December, 1891 When
he married lie was engaged in the saloon
business at Denver, but in the fall of
1891 went to the coast, leaving his wife
$400 in money. He located at Portland,
and securing employment wrote her ask
ing her to come to that city with the
child. In reply his wife wrote that she
intended getting a divorce, and that she
would not come. From the coast Haenel
went to Milwaukee, and worked in
brewery there for two years. While in
Milwaukee he met friends from Denver
who informed him that his wife had Sc
cured divorce. In 1893 he came to st.
Paul. and acting on the information he
had received as to his first wife securing
a divorce, he married Mrs. Annie Katret-
zai at Hudson Dec. f. 1895. In the fall of
1898 his first wife came to st. Paul and
informed Haenef that she was his lawful
wife and there had been no divorce. An
agreement was drawn up by a local at
torney to the effect that all controversy
between the parties was to be settled by
the payment of $500 to Mrs. Haenel No.
/. The money was paid over by Haenel,
and he supposed the trouble was all over.
Recently Mrs. Haenel No. l again re-
turned to st. Paul, bringing her eight
year-old son with her. Haenel, on the
advice of his attorney, commenced action
in the district court for a divorce, and
Judge Bum took the case under advise
ment.
An effort will be made by Haenels at
torney to quash the Indictment on the
ground that Mrs. Haenel No. l was al
lowed to go before the grand jury and
testify against him.
