NOT SUFFICIENT.
AccOmmoda lions at the Public Bath are
Too Limited.

The accommodations at the public
bathing place are not what they should
be, and for this reason many are de-
prived of the pleasure of going in.
There are not enough dressing rooms.
There ought to be twenty to supply
the demand each evening, whereas
there are only four or five. 1t would
not be expensive to put in a few low
partitions.
This hot weather, nearly everybody
wants to go in in the evening rather
than in the afternoon, and it makes
such jam that great many have
given up trying to have the pleasure
of the bath.
1.-THE place selected is an excellent
one, with a velvety bottom, and water
of any depth. The water is sufficiently
cool to brace one up after being out in
the heat all day.
The city should aim to build bath
house of its own next spring, with
communications for ladies.

LAKE CRYSTAL.

From the Union:
Henry Mayer ST., Hon. Geo. W.
Norman and others are through cut
ting and will thresh from the shock.
VIM. Mobiles went into his wheat
field Saturday morning at 4 o'clock,
and worked till about 10. He then
laid off during the heat of the day,
and said he accomplished nearly as
much in the morning before seven as
he did all the rest of the day, and his
horses were in no danger.
A tin sprinkling can full of water
standing on back porch exposed to
the suns rays for half day gave off
steam at night and was so hot one
could not bear his hand in it. last
Sunday. The same water poured on a
bunch of pig-weed, cooked it as if
done by boiling over stove. This is
hot one.
Peter Strom says he has son in
Washington, who went there seeking
relief from asthma, and has been free
from the disease since he landed in
that state. He writes that it is 80 cold
there nights that it is none too warm
sleeping under two blankets, and in
the morning there is little frost to
be seen.
Mrs Gilbert Guttersen received a
telegram that her cousin. Mrs. Vallie
Nelson was very sick at her home in

Mr.. Guttersen to join her, but he failed
to get the message in time to go be-
fore the hour set for the funeral.

THE EIRST TRANSFER.
Chicago Great Western Buys Mamie
Meagher's Property.

The deeds to the property desired by
the Chicago Great Western road have
been returned from the st. Paul Office
with the approval of the general Office.
AS soon as Mrs. Payne's deed arrives
from California and can be approved,
the deeds will be executed and the
money paid over for them. This is the
only one that has not been approved.
The. first money to be paid out for
right of way was turned over to Miss
Mamie Meagher in st. Paul this week,
and the railroad holds the deed to her
property.
The road is acting slowly and care
fully, and when the weather turns
cool again it would not be surprising
if dirt would begin to fly.

men were injured and many narrow
escapes are reported. It is feared that
many clerks have been either suffo-
Gated by smoke or met death by fall

MORE TROUBLE.
Syriaus Engsge in Another Mix.up and
Are Arrested,

War broke out again in Syria late
yesterday afternoon. This time the
participants were Uaif Abdul, proprie-
tor of the store at 1928 North Front
street, Charles Abldd, brother in-law Of
Joe Bushiri, who conducts store at
$40 North Front street, and Mrs.
Bushiri. 1t appears that Abdul has it
in for Bushiri's friends and has been
around their place several times trying
to create a disturbance. The police
have warned him to stay away from
it. He went there late yesterday
afternoon and picked a quarrel with
Abeed. While the two were fighting
Mrs. Bushiri tried to part them. Alb
dull called her an insulting name, so
she says, and then she joined forces
with Abeed and smote Abdul then and
there.
At this time Chief Bowen and Off
Ger Bienaph, attracted by the din
raised by score or more of the
Syrians, appeared upon the scene and
arrested Abdul and Abeed and took
them to the city hall. Each furnished
$50 bail for their appearance this
morning. Abdul was bleeding freely
from some cuts or scratches on his
neck. He retained W. A. Funk as his
attorney.
- Abdul pleaded not guilty and was
tried at once. A number of witnesses
were examined, and the result was the
discharge of the defendant, The tes-
timony was very conflicting, but the
defense was that Abdul was not the
aggressor, but was acting in self de-
tense, having been attacked by Abeed
and Mrs. Bushiri.
Nothing has yet been done in
Abeed's case.

Up to the past few days the intense
heat which has been experienced fur
Their south, has not been felt in North
Dakota, and the wheat crop has been
reported in excellent condition. But
for the past day or two the heated ter
ritory has extended north into that
state and 106 degrees is recorded at
Bismarck and nearly as high tempera-
ture in numerous localities through the
state. The wheat crop there is now
in its critical state and fears are en-
tertained that great damage may be
done. If the next few days are safely
passed over North Dakota will harvest
one of the big crops of It's history.

DIR KOCH'S DISCOVERY.

The announcement made by DR..
Koch, the great German bacteriologist,
that bovine tuberculosis cannot be
transmitted to the human system
through the consumption of milk or
the meat of the affected animals, is a
matter of great Importance if it shall
prove that the doctor is correct in his
premises beyond all question. He has
always been regarded an authority in
medical science, and it is generally
agreed among members of the medical
fraternity that he would not have
made the announcement to the public,
had he not felt absolutely certain of
the facts and demonstrated the truth
thereof absolutely. While some leading
medical men are inclined to treat the
matter with some credulity, number
of doctors in Chicago express them
selves as not surprised at the state
ment, and the Inter Ocean says that
one of them, DR.. Jenkins, published
similar statement in it's columns last
winter. AS to the matter of meat there
is no question, as the heat is cooking
is sufficient to kill all germs. The
theory that bovine tuberculosis would
be transmitted to the human system is
said to have been of German origin,
and it is most fitting that it it is no
SO, the error should be thoroughly dis
carded by SO eminent a specialist as
DR.. Koch. 1t would seem that there
might be very good foundation for
the doctors theory. for bovine tubercu-
lOsis has been found to be widespread
and thousands of head of cattle have
been slaughtered in the efforts to pro-
tect humanity from the great dangers
supposed to rest in this source. If the
doctors theory is not correct, then
why has not tuberculosis been more
widespread in the human family than
has been the case, for it has often been
discovered that. tubercul osims existed
in herds and among family COWS where
it had never been suspected, and milk
therefrom had been used right along
with no deleterious results. Of course
the use of milk that might be so i'm
pregnated with the disease germs has
been assigned as one reason for the
prevalence of tuberculosis to such an
extent as it now exists among human
beings. The holding of the theory that
the disease could be transmitted has
been one of the costly mistakes of
medical science, causing great losses
everywhere to farmers and = airymen.
Further than this, as the Pioneer Press
we'll says, sit has made millions of
people wretched with the fear that the
milk they drink daily or that they
gave their children was infected with
the seeds of fatal disease. The ex-
plosion of this theory will be boon to
mankind. 1t will rejoice alike the
hearts of the dairymen and of it's GUS
toners. Henceforth we may return to
the simplest faith of our fathers and
drink the milk o.. our kind in peace and
comfort as they drank it, without any
fear of being poisoned, provided we
can have the same confidence in the
dairyman's water as we are now scien-
tihcally bound to have in his milk. -

The GAINESVILLE Argus contains large
number of interviews with farmers in
that vicinity as to the condition of the
crops, and the general opinion of those

of this damage is from chinch bugs
But very few of those seen report any
injury from heat. Several report their
wheat better crop than last year.
Corn was reported as all right yet, but
needing rain badly. Potatoes will be
