WISHED TO BE ON SAFE SIDE.
County Health Officer Refuses to Rtise
Quarantine.

County Health Officer Refuses to Rtise
Quarantine.
The state board of health has found
chairman of town board of health
who is too strict with regard to small
pos regulations. Several days ago a
complaint was received by the state
board from a physician at Foley, Ben
ton county, stating that the local board
OF health had refused to act on small.
pox quarantine.
Chief Clerk Oscar Peterson of the
state board was sent to investigate.
He found that the trouble was in Glen
dorado township, Benton county,
where the chairman of the board of
health refused to remove the quaran-
tine from man who had been quaran.
tined for six weeks.
The regular quarantine period fol
smallpox is four weeks, and there is
no danger after that time There has
been considerable smallpox in Glendo-
RADIO township, however, and the chair
man of the local board wished to be
on the safe side. When the physician
who cared for the smallpox case mott
fed him that the man had recovered
and the quarantine should be removed
permission was refused.
Another member of the local board
called on the chairman and asked him
to remove the quarantine, but he still
refus I'd, and declared he would keep
the man under quarantine for six
months if he wanted to.
Mr. Peterson was unable to see the
chairman, but left instructions that
four weeks is the quarantine period
for smallpox, and that the patients
should be released after that time had
elapsed.

FAIR BREAKS ALL RECORDS.
Attendance 5000 More Than for Any
Single Day In Its History.

Attendance 5000 More Than for Any
Single Day In Its History.
st. Paul, Sept. s. - Five thousand
more people visited the state fair yes
terday than ever before in single day
In its history. Records for even the
"big days" of the fair were broken.
The crowd is estimated at $4,000.
There was nothing but the magni.
.tude of the state fair to draw such q
crowd. Officially yesterday was des-
ignated as Farmers day." The pro-
gram was no more attractive or more
extensive than on the preceding days,
and there were no additional induce.
ments to attract an extraordinary at
tendance. 1t was simply the biggest
and best Minnesota state fair that
brought out the people.
The attention of the visitors during
the afternoon was divided between the
grandstand, where the races were in
progress, and the sale of Hereford cat
tie in the big show tent.
The state fsir officials are convinced
that the arrangements are more COM
plete for the state fair than ever be-
fore. Every detail has been given
proper attention, with the result that
the people are better provided for than
in former years.

Performer at the State Fair Meets
With Probably Fatal Injuries.
st. Paul, Sept. 5. - Jacob Hoffman,
twenty-seven years old, who made the
balloon ascension at the state fair
grounds last night, is at ST. Joseph's
hospital with injuries that may prove
fatal. He cut loose from the balloon
when about 400 feet in the air. Tie
parachute fell 100 feet and then pay-
TALLY opened. The speed at which he
was falling was so great that it was
tern to ribbons when it did open and
was rendered useless. Hoffman was
taken to st. Joseph's hospital and op-
Grated on last evening. The bones in
his left leg between the knee and
ankle were virtually cracked into
splinters, and were protcuding from
the leg in all directions. DR.. Ohage
operated on the patient, and the leg
was put in a plaster cast. DR.. Ohagc
says that Hoffman must have suffered
internal injuries, although nothing
serious has developed as yet. Holt
man is an athletic young man, and the
physicians hope his strong constitu-
ton will pull him through.

Weather Bureau Issues Bulletin Of
Climatic and Crop Conditions.
The Minnesota section of the wealth
or bureau has issued it's weekly bulle-
tin OF climate and crop conditions, COW
ering the past week. The report fol.
lows:
"There was fine weather in tn.
northern hall of the state till the 2Sth,
and in the southern part from the 26th
till the evening of the goth. The
showers beginning on the evening of
the 29th were general in all parts of
the state, and they continued at inter-
walls to the end of the week. These
showers were locally very heavy; they
were generally thunderstorms, with
considerable injury to buildings,
stacks, ETC., by lightning In western
Steele county, on the evening of the
Goth, there was small but terrific tor
nado, which hurled part of a rapidly
moving passenger train from the track
to one side of the roadbed, destroying
the cars, killing several people in the
wrecked cars, and injuring large
number. Harvest is all finished, ex-
cept that of late flax, which is being
cut. Nearly all the stacking that is
to be done was finished before the
rains begun; threshing from the shock
was also we'll advanced at the same
time. Grain still standing in shock is
damp, and in many fields it is sprout-
ing. Corn continues green, and opin-
ions as to the time required for it's ma
turity vary from ten days to a month,
but it is probable that the general crop
will be safe from the frost by Sept. Is.
The cut flax in southern counties is too
damp to handle. The potato rot seems
to be spreading in the ungathered
crop. Timothy seed is said to be good
in southeastern counties"

VAST REVENUE WAS COLLECTED
Report Of Hennepin County Grand
Jury Says Depths of Corruption
Were Not Sounded.

WV ~ wv SOOUOSOs
The April term of the Hennepi1
county grand jury came into Judge
Simpsons court room Monday morn
ing, submitted its final report, and was
discharged without date. The report
is document Of seven typewriter
pages and contains a brief resume Of
the work accomplished during the
jury's session. 1t states that although
indictments were returned against no
fewer than thirty public officials, 9TH
ers believed to be equally guilty have
escaped, and 1t recommends that the
work OF municipal housekeeping be
continued.
The jury which thus finishes it's la
bors has been the most sensational
body of the kind ever assembled in
Hennepin county. 1t has laid bare a
fostering mass of corruption in the city
hall and has indicted the chief execu-
tive of the city. 1t has disclosed a
state of rottenness in the police de-
partment that has made Minneapolis
notorious all over the country. The
value of it's work to the community at
large cannot be estimated. 1t has been
the means of effecting widespread re.
forms in the city administration, and
has brought municipal order from
chaos and made decency in municipal
government possible.
Composed of representative citizens
unswayed by political bias, the grand
jury which has now adjourned is de-
serving of the thanks of every self.
respecting man and woman in the city
for the fearless and tireless manner in
which it has conducted it's investiga
tons; and for the results achieved.
Judge Simpson praised the jury for
it's excellent and thorough work.

St Paul, Sept. 4.-St. Paul people
,mt their shoulders to the state fair
Wheel of progress yesterday, and. fol-
lowing the pace that was set by the
npening day, the attendance figures
nroke out of all bounds. When the re-
,m,ns we're all in last night Supt Co.'S
crave estimated that fully 10000 peo-
.nl,. had passed through the gates. The
pttrndance last year on Tuesday was
,ao124. The record was made yester-
Iav in the face of the fact that heavy
falI of rain occurred just at the time
the evening patrons of the fair were
nrcparing to start for the grounds.
MANY of them postponed their visit
until later in the week. The managers
of the state fair were delighted yester-
day at the manner in which the ar
ran.ements had been carried out.
Every exhibit is in its place and every
exhibitor is on the grounds to talk to
and interest the callers at his booth.
There has been no disorder nor fric'
ton at the gates and the police de-
partment has found little to do IN
keeping things going.

Sandusky, Ohio, Sept. 4. - Mayor
Tom J.. Johnson of Cleveland won a
decisive victo~y yesterday in the pre-
liminary meetings of the Democratic
state convention which meets here to-
day. Ever since he was selected as
chairman of the convention by the
state central committee it has been
the general opinion that this occasion
would be made the initial public open
ing of his candidacy for the next DEM
ocratic nomination for the presidency.
In that respect his success has been
phenomenal. No Ohio candidate for
the presidency ever had more unanlm-
ity of sentiment in his favor among
the delegates at state convention
than was shown at the meetings last
night by congressional districts for
the selection of officers and members
of the various committees. Commit

De the most strongly fortified on Long
Island sound. Admiral Higginson's

parent purpose of having the fire con-
centrated upon them. He then crept
up with his battleships and opened fire
with the purpose OF crumbling the fort
to pieces.
