ABOUT CONSUMPTION.
Reasons Why it Should be Reported to
the Health Officer

ANNN'E'tli7 W iiS ~ NiibblNi IJt ibClJi ttb ~
the Health officer
The bulletin of the Connecticut state
board of health for February contains
some reasons prepared by Dr. c. A,
Lins1ey, the secretary Of the board, why
consumption should be reported to the
health officer, These are as follows:
Because it is a communicable disease.
Because it is a preventable disease.
Because most of the subjects of it
need to be instructed in the best ways
of protecting themselves and others
from the danger of infection.
| Because it would enable the health
officers to convey directly through the
physicians or otherwise, printed circu-
lars and instructions to all such pa
| TENTS, which would contribute greatly
to their own benefit and the safety Of
| their companions and the public.
Because it would enable the health
officers to prevent the reoccupation of
any room or house, which had become
infected by consumptive patients, and
which had been vacated by death or re-
moval, until the said room or house had
been completely disinfected.
Because by such dsinfectlon the fur
Their communicate ton to new tenants
would be prevented.
Because it would enable health Of
ffcers to make an intelligent study of
the etiology of consumption on a large
scale, by acquiring a knowledge of the
age, family history, occupation. resi-
dence, environment and whatever 9TH
err influence might have promoted the
disease.
Because the investigation Of all the
cases in given district permits class-
fication and grouping of numbers in
similar conditions.
Because such n study Of considerable
numbers is far more satisfactory and
conclusive than the investigation Of in
dividual instances
Because if would doubtless lead to the
discovery of many cases In the incipient
stages of the malady.
Because in the early stage of con-
sumption it is almost always durable
Because, by timely treatment, many
lives might be restored to health which
would otherwise perish.
Because such an investigation ecien-
tifically conducted would demonstrate
the prevalence of few fertile fields in
which the disease furnishes luxuriant-
ly.
Because the destruction Of the breed |
ing beds of the disease would contribute |
more to its extinction than could posi- |
bly, be accomplished by trying to cure |
its victims.
Because the full report of all cases of |
would not necessitate the |
and control of the patients, |
as in cases of scarlet fever and small |
rOX
Because the main purpose of the re-
porting is lor mutual interchange of
Because the business can almost all
be accomplished through the agency of
and the officers of HOSPITALS,
asvlums, dispensaries, prisons, homes,
etc And finally, because "this great
white plague" is the most fatal disease
known to man, and therefore il is the
lbvfous duty Of the state, especially
since it's specific cause has been discov-
ared, to take such active measures as
science dictates to diminish its prsva
ence and abate its ravages.

H. w. Slocum, of New York city, an
old Yale athlete and prominent member
of the New York stock exchange, last
night gave the victorious football team
Of last fall a glorious good dinner at
the Tdntine hotel.
Mr.. Slocum is an Od-tinle football
player and Intercollegiate tennis cham
pion of the class of Yale 'S3, and filled
the position of left halfback on the
Yale varsity team for three consecu-
tive years before his graduation. Since
then he has backed Yale loyalty in her
gridiron battles, and last fall won

and Princeton went down so inglori-

present the entire aggregation of foot
ball players, including Captain Gould
and ex-Captain Brown, and Boomer
the famous freshman tackle, who is
now industriously making up his schol-
arship deficiencies under special tutor,
and will probably be a feature of the
team next year.
Mr., Bloomer last evening strenuous
ly denied the report that has been cir
culated in the newspapers concerning
his conduct at the basketball game held
at Bridgeport the other evening. He
said that he was merely present as a
spectator to the game, and that abso-
lutely no occurrence such as that con-
tanned in the account published in one
of the New York ''yellow" journals took
place; that the story of his Kissing the
Bridgeport high school girls and of their
throwing the ball in his face was made
up out Of whole cloth. He spoke bit
terly Of the treatment accorded him by
the newspapers in this matter, saying
that the fake account of the affair had
been copied in the Cincinnati papers,
where he lives, and had there created
false impression of him.

AN HONORARY FATHER. "
The Son of Major Sweet, the Sulu
Governor, is a Mahometan Prince.


Governor, is Mahometan Prince.
An army officer possesses the unique
honor of having been appointed the
father" of Mahometah prince. two
years ago such a thing, if predicted
would have been regarded as the result
of very vivid lima gination, but our ex-
tension of military rule to come pecu
liar parts of the world has made the in
cdent not so startling as 1t might be
although it is sufficiently notable. The
officer is Major o. J. Sweet, Twenty
1 third Infantry, who is the governor OF
the interesting Province of Sulu In his
mail recently was this letter from a ma
tive source. The text of the letter was,
translated, as follows:
This letter comes from your sister,
the Sultana Incha Pamela, to my broth
er, Major Sweet, the Governor of
Piange.
This is to inform you that I am go
ing to Limana to follow up your son
Attick, to enable him to see his f1ancee.
/ 1t is necessary that I should be- there
! before he is allowed to see her. I am
letting you know this, as it Is possible
| that may not be able to return soon.
. The ceremony Of asking the girl in mar
4 riage generally takes a long time, as it
is never certain whether the party will
be accepted or not. / beg you to watch
over your SON. the oultan and over ysur
grandchildren and mine.
Don't listen to any i'll reports that
you may hear but first inquire of me or
the sultan whether they be true or not.
People nowadays delight in making
mischief and in creating enmity be-
tween the higher people as well as the
lower classes; therefore it is always
best to make inquiries on both sides as
to the truth Of these reports. / beg
you to do this. Greetings and best wish
es to you.

There is a situation back of this letter
which should not be lost in the war de-
partment archives The writer of the
letter is the sultana mother and a great
friend Of Major Sweet, to whom she is
of material assistance in his admins
tration of Mahometan affairs, princi-
pally through the good will she has for
the American governor and the influ-
ence she has with her subjects, almost
all Of whom esteem and accept her
counsel. She calls Major Sweet father"
and brother" according to the tran
silent inspiration
The son, Attick, is twenty years of
age, and the second heir to the sultan
ate "Attick' is a nickname which is
not relished by its bearer, whose real
name is Datto Mahamad Aurural UNI

Major Sweet, whom in turn he impress
ed by his natural brightness and amia-
bic disposition,
The young prince soon grew to respect
the American governor and to appreci-
ate the interest which was taken in him.
He expressed a desire to become Major
Sweets son, and promised to be faith
full and obedient as toward a father
Major Sweet agreed to the proposition
and he and the prince exchanged docu-
ments to show that the officer accepted
the honorary responsibility of father"

custom of blood friendship. Among the

FOR THE FULL FIVE YEARS.
Judge Aikman will Give Prisoner
Full Limit.
IA MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL,

Eldorado, Kas., July l.--Jessic Nor
,ison will get the full limit of impris-
onment in the penitcntiary for the
,rime for which she was convicted.
Judge Aikman will sentence her to
ave years. Under the law, he could
give her three years sentence, but he
won't. To her brother Hayward .Ies-
| sic said that her conviction was due to
the fact that she did not have fair
trial. She claimed that all the ma
chinery of the court was against her.
She expressed hope that her attor-
neys would appeal the case and get a
new trial. In that event she will be
tried in another county.
The attorneys for Miss Morrison are
getting ready to made strong show
ing in their motion for new trial this
week. They are gathering afiidavits
from people throughout the county to
show that various members of the jury
had expressed opinions that Jessie was
guilty long before they were summon
ed as jurors For some reason which
is not apparent the attorneys for the
defense believe they are going to have
hard time getting bill of exceptions
approved by the court in case their
motion for new trial is overruled and
the defendant is sentenced.
Miss Morrison was unfortunate in
having a couple of lawyers on her side
who were not in good standing with
Judge Aillman. Judge A. i. Redden,
of Topeka, and 4. A. Kramer, of this
city, are law partners. For many
years they have been at swords points
with Judge Altman. Kramer ran
against Judge Ailtman for the Repub-
lican nomination for Judge last fall,
but was defeated. AilSman's friends
charge that Kramer got out and did
what he could to defeat Aikman.

|THE THREE new COUNTRIES,
How They Are Bounded And loca-
tion Of County Seats.
DRAWING AT WASHINGTON.

Washington, June 29.-The three
new counties formed Of the Kiowa and
Wichita reservations ale to be called
Kiowa, Caddo and Comanche. The
former embraces the northwest section
of the territory to be opened, with the
county seat of Hobart, named for the
late vice president; Caddo, forming the
northeast, with the county seat of
Anadarlso, and Comanche, covering the
southern portion, with the county seat
of Lawton, named in honor of General
Lawton, killed in the Philippines, who
formerly commanded at Fort Sill and
was identified with the Indian history
of that section.
In rectifying the lines of the old
counties the land Office has added
their townships in the northern por-
ton of the Wichita reservation to
Canadian county, whose lines formerly
followed the course of the Canadian
river. The neutral strip lying north
of the Washita river and adjoining the
southeastern corner of Washita coun-
ty has been added to Washita county,
the Washita river forming the bound
airy. The southern boundary of Wash
ita county has been put on the town
ship line between townships and s,
moving it south about a mile, except
where the town of Mountain View
interposes, where it follows the river
line for short distance.
The two new land offices will be
located at El Reno, under the act, and
at Lawton, which is nearest Fort Sill.
Assistant Commissioner Richards, of
the general land Office, will practically
have full charge of the land Office
work in connection with the opening,
and is working on his scheme for the
drawing, which will be submitted to
the president for approval when COM
pleted. Entrymen will be required to
register at some one of the nine. land
offices in Oklahoma, including the one
at FL Reno, and the drawing will
probably take place in the land office
here, ucder the immediate supervision
of the department. to insure absolute
ly fair play.

Wheat prospects are further improv-
ed throughout the entire producing re-
gion. More satisfactory to the pro-
aucer than evidences of a banner

show the commensurate decline, for
there is good profit at the present

sustaining influence. The price of
corn is supported by reports of injury,
and receipts are less than half last

equally unsatisfactory. Many reports of
injury to growing cotton tend to ad-
vance prices in the face of heavy re-
ceipts of the old crop.

STORM IN MANY CITIES.
Wide Extent of Damage to Farm Prop
erty In Wisconsin.

erty IN Wisconsin
Minneapolis, July la terrific
storm swept over Minneapolis, st.
Paul and vicinity. The storm broke
about o'clock, being preceded by al
most utter darkness. 1t was so dark
that the Western League base ball
game was postponed and because the
players were unable to see the ball.
Many people went into the street, and
when the storm of wind and rain broke
there were many injured. There were
many wrecxages of roofs and glass
though none of them were heavy in
point of damage done.
Duluth ann West Superior also re-
port a heavy wind and electric storm.
Similar reports come from many
towns north and west of the Twin
cities. Near Montevideo, Mimi, all
the buildings on the farm of G. Jung
were blown down and one man was
probably fatally injured.

doing Thousands of dollars of damage,
passed over this city. The roof of the
Hotel Boycott, four story structure
was blown of, and landed half a block
away on another large building which
was wrecked. The new Norwegian
Lutheran hospital was wrecked. Trees
were uprooted and many plate glass
store fronts were destroyed. Several
buildings were struck by lightning.
A tornado did great damage to farm
property south of New Richmond,
Wisconsin. The tornado was accom-
panied with rainfall of nearly four
inches. There was also much loss
about Star Prairie, Hector, Bird Island
and Montevideo.
