ONE ON Il. p.
agreement

H. P. Hall of the St. Paul Trade
Journal is one of the most spirited
men in the State. Not only does he
always take leading part in the
festivities of the Capitol City, and
its various societies of which he is
a member, but he also lends hand
to helping other towns throughout
the State. It was Mr.. Hall that put
the Redwood Falls attraction COM
mittee on to the bureau from which
the attractions were secured for the
encampment and celebration last
week, and he volunteered his SER
vices still further, in case they
were waited.
On the Friday before the encamp-
ment began couple of bushes men
Of the city, one Of whom had attend
ed Halls Elk Carnival, concluded
that it would create more or less
fun to have the rubber ball amuse-
ment in this town during the three
days of the show. One of them
wired Fl. p, asking what 500 Of the
balls could be secured for from the
fellows that had the privilege at
the Elks' Carnival. Mr.. Hall
promptly, wired back an answer,
and a reply went forward to ex-

morning Or afternoon.
The 500 balls did not appear con-
signed to the business men who
had ordered them, but on last
Thursday letter from Mr.. Hall
stated that 1.-THE rubber ball men
fled to Oklahoma on Saturday.
It appears that as soon as Mr..
Hall showed the rubber ball men
the Redwood telegram they boxed
up their supply and came to Red
wood Falls, and on Monday they
secured permission to sell the balls
on the encampmentground.
Mr.. Hall undoubtedly meant all
right when he stated that the rub

but Redwood Falls people wonder
how such an accurate business man
as Mr.. Hall could have gotten Red
wood Falls and Oklahoma SO badly
mixed up.

HISTORY OF THE PLAGUE
INTERESTING BROCHURE SENT TO
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
Effective Sanitation an Almost Ger.
tain Preventive-Two Curative
Agents Are known and Used.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-An interesting
and valuable brochure, giving a complete
history of the bubonic plague together
with means which have been adopted for
its prevention. has been prepared and made
public by Surgeon General Wyman, of the
Marine Hospital Service The opinion is
expressed that in the light of experience in
other parts of the world it seems reason
able TO believe that even were the dis
ease introduced here its spread would be
very limited in cities where the sanitary
conditions good. and where precau-
tons as to the isolation of patients and
the segregation of those exposed to infec-
tion should and would be practiced. The
death rate varies in different epidemics and
is estimated at from so to 90 per cent There
is a variation also according to national
tiles, Chinese seemingly being the most
susceptible. DR.. Wyman expresses the opin-
ion that the quarantine methods of the
United States are well adapted to meet
emergencies, though the national laws
should be strengthened. In a letter SUBJ
hitting the matter to the secretary of the
treasury, he says:
From the facts set forth in the article
it is obvious that the greatest care must
be exercised in the inspection at quaran-
tine of vessels, even though they hail from
noninfected ports. for they may carry pas
sengers, crew, stowaways or merchandise
from plague-infected districts. With great
care in inspection and enforcement of other
regulations at domestic ports, supple
mented by the information conveyed by
medical officers of the service in foreign
ports and their surveillance over vessels,
1t Is hoped that no case of plague will be
admitted But should this misfortune occur
the observations detailed in the article
show that energetic sanitary measures may
be made to avail. while we have in the
curative serum and the Haffkine prophy
lactine additional and effective weapons
in preventing the spread of the disease.
While these facts are encouraging in char
acter, ii should not be forgotten that the
epidemic is surely, though slowly extend
ing, and that for the first time In history
IL has now invaded the western hemi-
sphere The necessity, therefore, of espe-
cial vigilance has been and is still being
impressed upon quarantine officers by the
bureau, and of equal Importance Is the
provision which should be made by munic
qualities, especially those on the seaboard,
TO correct Immediately unsanitary condi-
tions which are now so we'll known to
favor the propagation OF infectious dis
ease"
The State Department has been informed
by United States Agent Haywood, at Homo
lulu, that there have been five cases or
bubonic plague since the last report, JAM
3. and six deaths
Surgeon General Wyman has dispatched
1900 bottles of Haffkine prophylactine to
Honolulu and the same quantity TO Ma
Mia. This fluid has been used as plague
preventive in India and has proved quite
effective. He has also sent quantity
of curative serum to Honolulu.
