1T is almost criminal to have
smallpox now," declared DR.. Fl.
M. Bracken. secretary of the
state board of health, to the
physicians and veterinarians of
Minnesota, assembled in sani.
tary conference in the bacteri-
illogical laboratory at the state
university this forenoon.
DR.. Bracken asserted that the
smallpox prevalent in Minnesota
was of u very mild form, and that
the methods of treating it, by
the isolation of patients and the
vaccination of persons, Was
most efficacious. The spread of
the infection, he said, was due
to the disregard of the rules pre-
scribed by the medical men of
the health board, and he urged
more stringency in the enforce
ment of the regulations.
The subject considered at this
mornings session were diph-
liberia, rabies and smallpox. The
conference held a brief busi-
ness session and passed resolu-
tions recommending the estab-
lishment of a national depart
ment of health, with a supervis-
or to have a place in the presi
dents cabinet. The conference
adjourned at / o'clock and took
luncheon at the Commercial club
An afternoon session was held
in the rooms in the Hennepin
county Medical Society, in the
Andrus building beginning at 3
o'clock.
Where Smallpox Came From.
DR.. Bracken, in his address
on smallpox in Minnesota. said
the disease was not introduced
into the United States from the
Philippine, as has been generally3
reported, but was brought into
the states from Cuba probably
by Cuban refugees, before tke
war, the first case appearing ins|
1895. The infection spread
throughout the south and west

This is a political year in North
Dakota, an entire state ticket as
well as county officers having to
be elected next fall. The slate
makers have already been get
ting in their work and the twin
city string friends have already
fixed up the greater part of the
ticket for us to vote next fall.
However, even the best laid plans
are apt to 60 wrong occasionally
aud we apprehend such will be
the fate of many of the states
fixed up between now and con-
vention time. Two or three
weeks ago Gov, White was prom
ised a denomination at the hands
Of q clique of leaders, but since
he has received such a wholesale
! condemnation at the hands of
the state press, there are signs
that the gang is getting ready
to unload and are casting around
for othe candidates. Secretary
of State Porter and Senator
Sharpe, Of La Moore, have been
spotted as available candidates
and lightning might strike
either one Of them. On the
other hand the friends of Col.
Robinson have been trying to
work up a boom for him for gov

$500. The editor takes a cheerful
view of the outcome and as that
amount is nothing to a newspa-

We will bet a cooky, however,
that the preacher would give
double that amount if he could

have made many school children

The season for rifle practice in the
National Guard in Maine closes next
Friday. the 31st, and the company
commanders then have until the tenth
day of November to make their re-
turns for the seasons practice. De-
spite the handicap of insufficient range
facilities in several important centers
during the early part of the year, the
season has been one of the most active
in the history of the Guard. During
the next week up to Friday. the
ranges in most of the towns where
companies are stationed VIII be busy.
Company commanders will be getting
the last of their men out for qualiflca-
ton practice and they will take ad-
vantage of all the good weather there
is. In many companies the matter Oh
qualification has been kept in mind
throughout the season and men nave
been qualified in small squads from
time to time. so that the end of the
season finds a small number left to
qualify. This is the direct result OF
the change in the rules governing
small arms qualification practice
which was made last year. and shows
that the change is proving beneficial
TO the Guard. There are only two or
three companies out OF the entire
Guard which have failed to do Sood
seasons preliminary work on the
range. and if the percentage or quail
fications holds up as it should the net
result will be gratifying to the military
aut uthOritieS.

An interesting case has just been
heard before Justice Powers in the
supreme Judicial Court at Portland.
II was an appeal of the inha bitants OF
the town Of Freeport from the decision
of the State railroad commissioners.
The appeal is in relation to the loca-
,ion of A crossing of the Maine Cen
tral at Portland & Brunswick street
railway on Main street in Freeport
The town sets forth that April lS,
1902. the Marie Central railroad peu-
Toned the railroad commissioners. set
ting forth that its line Of railroad IS
crossed in Freeport by the duly ap-
proved location of the electric road OF
the Portland & Brunswick road, sald
location being in the county ROAD
known as the Freeport Yarmouth
road on Main street.
After a hearing the railroad COM
missioners decided that the highway
in F'reeport should be changed so as TO
permit the Maine Central to pass over
the railroad about go feet west OF the
present grade crossing. Main street
TO be Sc feet wide, and under the
Maine Central tracks 1t is TO be
spanned by a plate girder bridge.
The town appealed from this de-
cision of the railroad commissioners
for several reasons. because the public
convenience does not require such
changes in the road and because the
expense of the construction ana mann
tenance of such a road. if built. will be
too great u burden on the town OF
Freeport The town also alleges that
the road when constructed accordlnS
to the directions of the railroad COM
missioners will not be so good ana
convenient for the public as at present.
After hearing the evidence presented
the court ruled that the action OF the
commissioners in thus diverting the
course of the highway in order 10
avoid a grade crossing was proper and
right. but in addition decided that the
amount of damages was not sufncient
and allowed 500 more than the sum
authorized by the board.
