So said Capt. l.. II. Southall, surgeon
In the United States army, who has ar

Captain Couthall was for a time IN
charge OF the cholera hospital in Ma.
mia. In speaking Of the epidemic, Cap
tain Southall said:
1.-The Americans In the Philippines
seem unable to cope with the cholera
plague. Despite the rigorous methods
used to suppress 1t, the disease seems
to spread and Increase. When l left
Manila the death rate was ninety a
day. An equal number were stricken
with the disease daily. OF course,
there were number Of pueblos in the
interior from which we never heard.
and in these places the death rate was
said to be enormous. 1t Is very diff
cult to get correct figures Of the NOR
tally due to cholera, because of the
fact that the natives hide the dead and
try to keep knowledge of the presence
of the disease from the authorities"

employees of the Minnequa plant Of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and
their families.

tain that the agricultural department,
Of which he is In charge. will require
twice the space it did last year. Mrs.
Martha A. Shute, superintendent OF the
horticultural department. writes the
same about the fruit exhibit. A fine
showing of live stock, sheep swine and
poultry Ii assured. 90
Thursday there will he a wedding In
front of the grand stand and one day
during the week there will be baby
show in which twenty-five babies are
