to the Medical Department that nearly 30
per cent of the sickness of the army is pro-
duced by causes which may be avoided By
the observance. by company and other Of
ficers in command of troops, of simple sani-
tary regulations, the most important of
which is the sterizing by boiling of all
water that is TO be used for drinking and
of cleanliness of camps, quarters kitchens
and utensils that are used in cooking.
ut is therefore. ordered that officers in
command of troops will give directions that
all water for drinking purposes shall be
boiled at least twenty inmates, and that
every precaution be taken to prevent the
use of any that has not been SO steriliZed.
When about to so on a march each man
will be required 10 fill his cantcen with ster-
iiiZed water before starting. Company and
detachment commanders will inspect the
canteens and see that this is done. If there
should be an insufficient amount of steril-
ized water on hand at the time Of starting
may be used as substitute. Should the
water recently boiled be too hot to handle
it can be cooled by filling the canteen, and,
after corking. piunsirg 1t into cold water
and allowing 1t to remain immersed for a
few minutes.
Cooks and others employed in the kitch-
all cooking utensils and mess furniture with
boiled water
Comma nders of military stations will

this order. and inspectors will report any
failure of its observance.

FREE PASSES FOR
STUDENT VOTERS.
Republicans Favored at State Uni
yersity-Democrats Demand and
Obtain Like Concessions.

Some one with his pockets full of railroad
passes for Republicans only created stir
among the students of the state University
at Columbia, Mo-, yesterday, which might
have cost the Democratic ticket number
OF votes but for the prompt and decisive
action of Chairman James NJ. Seibert of the
Democratic State Committee.
Shortly before noon Chairman Seibert re-
ceived word by telephone of the distribution
of passes from Democratic student at the
university AS all the railroads in the State
agreed not TO issue passes to any voter the
chairman started an investigation. with the
view of ascertairing where the leak was.
Local officials of all the roads denied that
passes were being distributed anywhere but
started Investigations on their own account
Within a few hours 1t was learned that
forty passes to various points on the NJ, X.
& T. lines had been given away at Columbia
and twenty-eight passes over the Wabash.
Mr.. Seibert obtained Il complete list of the
passes. the names OF the students and their
destinations. This list was laid before Of
ficiais of the roads mentioned, and they
promptly agreed TO ISSUE the same number
of passes to Democratic students.
They also assured Mr.. Seibert that the
issuance of the passes was not authorized
and that no more would be given out.
Up to late last night the identity of the
distributor OF the passes had not been as
certaircd.
Discussing the matter. Chairman Seibert
said: II am positive that none Of the prom
irent officials of either Of the roads is to
blame. Our agreement with them was that
voters Of both parties should be given half
fare rates for the election and that no one
should receive greater courtesy.
Il know these officials to be high-toned
gentlemen. How the passes got out Is Il
question. | am inclined to think that some
minor official who was intrusted with books
of passes for railroad men let his political
zeal get away with his judgment If he is
found out. ! have no doubt he will pay
severe penalty for his generosity.
please say for me that all of the rail-
roads have dealt perfectly fairly with us
and that / am confident that no one in au-
thority was cognizant of the Issuance Of
these passes for the use to which they were

robust physique himself, the mental strain
caused by the death of those whom he
had learned TO love caused a rapid de-

to heart failure, complicated by other dis

No one knows how old Berry Perry was.
A guess places it at i3 years. Until he
lost both mis- mistress and master he was
very active and jovial. But the two deaths
affected him. After the ex-Mayor died the
coored man who had served him so faith
fully was called upon to seek another po-
sitlon. He hated leaving his old place and
the duties he performed while in the employ
of Mr.. Hewett were mechanical.

made the proposition that Yerkes would
carry the State by 10000 plurality.
The 81 $50 was posted with Amos Nc
Campbell and the money was promptly COW
