DR.. Robert Koch surprised the
medical and scientific worlds when
he stated before the tuberculosis
congress at London that bovine
tuberculosis is not transmittable to
the human system. He had reached
the conclusion, he stated, that the
very general fear of contact with
tuberculous flesh or fluid is an UNI
necessary and unfounded fear. This
astonishing discovery of DR.. Koch
will mark revolution in sanitation
if he is able to fully substantiate his
theory, but unfortunately there may
be shadow of doubt as to the
eminent German professors ability
to do it. AT present the Best med-
cal and scientific opinion runs coun-
ter to his proposition, as is shown
in the stringent precautions taken as
to infected cattle throughout this
country and in other lands. DR..
Koch, with all respect to his reputa
ton as bacteriologist, is accused of
making queer statements OCCASION
ally, and the world which dislikes
the idea of consuming meat and
milk from diseased cows, will hest
tate and wait for indisputable evil
dence that their precautions are fool
ish before abolishing its cattle
commissions and giving up all re.
pressive measures as a useless ex-
pense.

During the Homestead strike
5000 troops were under arms to pro-
tect Mr.. Carnegic's interests. II
any similar show of force is neces.
sary now the cost should properly
be included in the operating en-
pcnses OF Mr.. Morgan's steel trust.
1t is asking great deal of the pub
lie to support a standing army for
the protection OF every great corpo-
ration that has a strike on its hands.
The Morrisvllle Messenger init
mates that something is going to
happen:
"This paper is directly informed
Of the fact that an iron-clad colnbi-
nation for offensive and defensive
political purposes has been entered
into by prominent aspirant for the
United States Senate and supposed
candidate for governor. If this is
offset by another quite possible com.
bination it will prove head.on
meeting of the two great political
forces of the state, and, before Octo-
Der, 1902, shall have waned will
come such political upheaval as
Vermont has never yet seem"

FOR 4 SANAIOR|UM SIZE
GOVERNOR NAMES COMMISSION TO
SELECT LOCATION AND AR
RANGE FOR BUILDING
PINE REGION IS FAVORED
mission Consists of Drs. II. L..
Taylor, of st. PauIJ j. l.. Camp, of
Bradnerd, and G. =. Wat
tam, of Warren.

Gov. Van SAINT yesterday appointed
three men who are to constitute the COM
mission provided for by the last legsla-
ture to arrange for the location and cree
ton of q sanatorium for the care of con-
sumptives The gentlemen selected are:
DR.. H. L. Taylor st. Paul; DIR. James
L. Camp, Brainerd; DR.. George S. Wat
tam, Warren.
When the bill by which this law was
created was under discussion in the leg
islature one argument advanced was that
the institution ought to be located some
where in the pine regions of the state,
as the ozone Of the pineries is highly con-
ducive to the benefit of consumptives. 1t
Is probable, while there is nothing abso-
lutely certain or binding about it, that
the commissioners will recommend a site
In the pine section OF the state.
The commissioners are to serve without
pay. The sum of $10O0 was appropriated
for all the actual expense attached to
the work assigned to them Under the
law the commission does not actually
decide upon the plans for the erection of
the sanatorlum. but makes full investi-
cation Of the conditions and needs of
the state and decides whether or not in
their profe ssional judgment such an In
stitution is demanded. They are to de-
eide upon the best surroundings for the
site in case their judgment is favorable
to the erection or the sanatorlum. Ihelr
report is then to be filed with the next
regular session of the legislature, in 1903,
and the matter will be definitely disposed
of then.
The building and maintenance of an in
stitution of this character Is matter that
has been seriously considered by one or
two Of the great Western states and 1t
is felt that Minnesota is only keeping
abreast with her neighbors in the under
taking. There is strong sentiment in
the state for the sanatorum.

BUSINESS IN WALL STREET HAS
BEEN ON A SCALE IMPAIR

SALES 100000 SHARES A DAY
Long Continued Bull Market AnOth-
err Feature without Prece-
dent in the History of
Wall Street.

NEW YORK, May 3-Bradstreet's
financial review to morrow will say: All
records of activity have again been
broken at the New York stock exchange,
the total transactions having been at the
rate of nearly 100000 shares per day all
the week, and on Tuesday the aggregate
reached the limit of 100000 shares. Re-
markable advances have accompanied the
intense activity and the public has been
buying stocks in a way that is only seen
in time of great speculative excitement.
That there is a great deal of manipula-
ton cannot be doubted, and to all ap-
pearances further railway deals of far
reaching Importance are in preparation.
1t is said, however, that the public's
absorption of stocks at advancing figures
is mainly responsible for the existing
state OF affairs. To some extent the
demonstrations which have taken place
this week would suggest the idea that the
elimination of the movement is near and
the rise of interest rates on Friday, with
their attendant breaks in prices for the
stocks which had the largest advances
seemed to bear this out At the same
time the declines had the appearance of
constituting what is termed a healthy
reaction. Though it is customary for
Wall street to argue that a boom like
this one cannot last, it seems to be a pos
sibility under favorable factors. The
street and the market certainly disre-
garded the gold shipments Which for this
week amounted to SO, 10000, and which
point to the probability or an unfavora-
BILE bank statement. Fully $50,OO0,O0O Of
the new British consols have been award
ed to this country and a considerable
amount Of gold will undoubtedly be re-
quired. 1t may be noted that the Lon
don market is taking great interest in
the boom here and has in fact shared in
1t to the extent Of buying a considerable
amount Of United States Steel stocks.

Considerable interesting Information rel

Rebstock, Winona's veteran assessor.
said he listed property at 60 per cent of
its value, and favored making the hus-
band list the property of the wife and
family. There should be some plan to
assess money withheld from taxation.
He approved of the plan of having a
county tax commissioner elected by the
popular vote
Ex-Probate Judge Buck favored having
banks disclose the amounts on deposit
Commissioner Hahn said such provision
would be Objectionable, as it would bank
rupt the banks the depositors being sure
to withdraw their money before the date
OF assessment.
County Attorney Weibel favored the
township assessors plan, they to work
Under the supervisor.
Mr.. J. F. Jones, of Preston county, aud
itor Of Fillmore county, believed also that
a real estate assessment once in four
years was sufficient.
John Rose, deputy assessor in Winona
for seven years, favored having taXpay-

TO PHILLIPS MUSIC.
CORN SHORTS ON BOARD OF TRADE
HAVE TO DANCE.

CHICAGO, May "A panic, the first
real one since Phillips cornered the
market, occurred among shorts in May
corn on the board of trade today. Price
fluctuations were the most violent In
years. Having seen their losses grow
heavier and heavier with each succeed
ing day for somei time, the traders who
guaranteed to deliver May corn to Phil
lips made frantic efforts to get it. The
price went from So cents to 5S cents, IA
cents higher than yesterdays close, in a
few minutes.
For an hour shorts bid 58c, or close to
1t. Then Phillips let out 100000 bushels
at prices ranging between 81 and SIS cents.
It was thought for a moment that he
was about to unload and the market
broke to IS cents without check The
drop disposed of number Of "tallers"
Under 81 cents however, Phillips sold
nothing. In consequence prices reacted
sharply when traders realized that the
end of the corn was by no means at
hand
