Mile Lacs county has reported to the
state board of health a serious condi.
ton of affairs among the Indians
about Mile I.acs lake. Smallpox, he

Local health authorities are powerless.
There are about 500 Chippewas squat

village authorities of Robins. trying to
keep the Indians from circulating
among the farmers, set a guard over
them. The braves turned oct in force,
armed, and made such a demonstration
that the guards went home, leaving
the Indians to roam at will. A clash

Berlin Boerse.

Berlin, August 11.-Last weeks Boerse was without striking features and more quiet than usual, but the general tone was somewhat improved. Business was limited, bona fide investors being almost totally lacking in the stock market. The Frankfurter Zeitung says that scarcely one transaction in shares was made as far as investment Is concerned. The att tention of the market was much occupied with the affairs of tho banks, owing to the recent publication of the semi-annual statements which made better showing than had been expected
 The Press points out, however, that these statements being for June do not show the effects of the Leipsiger bank failure and that the effects of this ca tastrophe are better shown in the fact that the Reichsbank's discounts are now 16,0O0, 900 marks above the figures of June 2S. whereas there was a contraction of 50, ,00O,O0 marks.
 The Vossische Zeitung summarizes the conclusions to be drawn from the state ments as follows:
 Upon the whole the balance sheets give the impression that the public has begun to withdraw deposits gradually from the weaker banks. and to place them in the strongest institutions. This ex- presses not so much a distrust of indi- vidual banks as distrust of the general banking situation. It shows also the important fact that the public has itself undertaken the readtustment of the banking situation and Is compelling banks to force liquidation which have hitherto been too long delayed owing to losses connected with them"

a quarter seconds behind Cresceus, which is well known by all turfmen to be an ea- sy thing for The Abbott; then as at Columbus, the last qurater Is finished by Cresceus in 32 seconds, and the ''si- lent man" braces up his round shoulders a little and asks The Abbott to perform that little trick that the has done so often of stepping that last soul-stirring quarter in 29 seconds. Well. the Tennes- see gentleman would collar the Buckeye horseman and pass him at the seven fur long pole open up two lengths at the long distance, three lengths at the short distance, and six lengths at the wire whereon hung the silken purse that con- tains S12,00O. Of course, Geers would nev- CT drive his horse out to the finish so hard after he passed Cresceus, but those are the possibilities in the race, for, un- der Geers' management The Abbott would surely trot the last quarter three good seconds faster than Cresceus did at Columbus, and he would wake up the one and a quarter seconds advantage of Cresceus and get to the wire one and three-quarter seconds ahead of him, which means about seventy feet or six and a half lengths. On the contrary, If Ketchum holds back and forces Geers to set the pace, then the crucial test will come in the stretch and Cresceus will have to share more speed than he has yet shown to get to the silken bag first.

If there be any truth in the alle- gation that this new world power at Washington has been entertaining "a beast of burden unawares, then truly the nation cries aloud for facts. And if neither or either of the alleged is not and has never been an animal of that description he should be permitted to make the fact clear to nation already too well acquainted with things which have extensive auricular appendages and vaucus voices.

The Abbott and cresceus.

Ah0 E691hA atia
 The Abbott and Cresceus are to meet in crucial contest in the twelve thous- and dollar purse at Brighton Beach' N r., next week. It Is well known that The Abbott has had distemper, and this Iact must weaken the confidence of the aa- mirers of the smooth-going, steailhs motion son of Chimes that will be driven by the master 'reinsman of the world But now that both Geers and the owner or The Abbott have decided that the horse shall fill his engagement at Brighton Beach, the racing world may expect the fastest, gamest, most exciting trotuhs contest of history If the condition or me Abbott does not debar him from snow ing his magical speed and his supero rac- ing qualities in their highest form If he regains the strength lost in sickness he Is dead sure to race the stallion for the last breath of life that Is In him, ana II the stallion beats him while in condi- ton, the worlds race record will be low cred more than two full seconds of time. The Abbott has improved each year since ne first appeared on the track and he has the same chance to have improved over his form of last year as Cresceus, and up to his sickness his wonderful flights of speed well sustained far Into the home stretch, showed marked improvement. Even slight improvement over last year means phenominal capabilities. l have the utmost confidence in Ed Geers' judg- ment, and l do not believe he would con- sent to his starting unless he could do himself justice At first thought 1t does not seem possible that any trotter can defeat the mighty son of Robert McGreg or, yet 1t Is known that The Abbott can do anything that Cresceus has done, and It IS not improbable that he will surpass him. Wonderful as they are the miles or the champion should have no fear for the friends of The Abbott. As this is the greatest trotting contest in the his- tory of the development of the American nght harness horse, let us speculate a little on the outcome. We will take Gre sceus greatest mile, 2:02A, as a model, and we will agree, as 1t is generally known, that George Ketchum believes Cresceus to be gamer, more stout-heart- ed horse than The Abbott though of no more speed, and will try to race him Into the earth, or as the festive swine would say break his heart in the first half"
 ALSO, we will consider that Geers is the Worfest teamster on the road. and IL IS known that The Abbott can glide along quarter in g seconds whenever the silent Southerner mods his wise head
 Well, they would go away together, with Cresceus on the inside slipping down to the half in 5S% with 'the silent man" and and the fleet grandson of Electioneer well behind passing the half a second and a quarter later or in 1.01, which is known to be well within the gelding's racing conditions last year, holding back good store of reserve speed for the final chal- lenge In the stretch as at Columbus Cresceus would fairly spurn the smooth surface of the earth by the sea and hail the three-quarter pole in 1904, The Ab- bolt getting there in L31h, or one and

More cheerful condition at the end of the wesls resulted in a little increase of business. inquiries were numerous in many dirsc- tions, and a moderate business was book ed for the leading smaller outlets. al- though many proposals were declined ow. ing to the narrow margins.
 cnina inquiry was stimulated by re- ports regarding the increase of the tariff and there were some transactions where delivery could be promised for September A very prominent feature of the market vas the wide difference between the yarn and cloth sections. The former was generally dull the business executed being insufficient to fortify the position. Buyers were cautious.

London, August 11.-Lord Kitchener's proclamation at Pretoria had a comfort ing effect last week on the Stock Ex- change. Whether the more hopeful spirit with which 1t was received was due to sentiment or to well grounded reason the future must determine; but the imme- diate effect was to improve prices some what Another helpful factor was decid- edly easy money. Not only in London. but in New York and on the continent did this condition prevail and on the continent the principal boerse rates were all under PIE per cent.
 Enough gold Is afloat and coming in from the provinces to raise the reserve of the Bank of England well over to f25, O0o,OOO New York exchange was high, and is likely to remain so. Nationally there is some caution in discount circles in view of New York's probable demand for gold for the autumn crop movement; but 1t Is not believed that this drain will be sufficeint to raise London rates mater ially. The week witnessed the unusual spectacle of an improvement in home rails and decline in Americans. This arose on the one hand from renewed ap- prehension regarding the steel strike, while on the other, the fact that British railroad shares descended to about the lowest possible figures was due to reac- ton.
 There Is a wide field for improvement In the equipment of both freight and pas senger departments and this fact com bined with the present low price of stocks seems to offer a favorable opening for all sorts of determined effort. So far as the steel strike Is concerned there Is wide | divergence of opinion with reference to the relative strength of the men and the employees but conviction that the strike is certain to have a disastrous effect up on American industrial interests Conse- | quently the outlook for business in the American section of the Stock Exchange is not promising.
