TO COMBAT SCOURGE
Eastern Cities Try to Eradicate
tuberculosis.

while In the East investigated the
work being done in the large cities for
the care of the tuberculous poor" said
DR.. H. NJ. Bracken, secretary Of the
state board of health, yesterday after
non. DR.. Bracken has just returned
from an extensive Eastern trip, during
which he attended the annual confer
ence of state and provincial boards OF
health of which he was formerly pres
ident, at Baltimore, and the conven-
ton of the American Public Health as
ISOLATION, which met in Washington,
Oct. $3.50.
1.-THE question of abating tuberculo-
sis is burning one all over the coun-
try, and in the East all the larger cities
are taking measures to overcome it's
inroads and prevent it's spread.
They are doing some especially
good work among the poor people in
New York city under the auspices of
the city board of health and the de-
partment of public charities. They
have a law there providing that all
physicians must report every case of
tuberculosis, no matter how mild, which
they discover. AS soon as the report
of case is received an effort Is made
to place the affected person under
proper care and prevent any other peo-
pie becoming infected. The poor peo-
pie whose cases are found to be hope
less are cared for in six diSpenSaries
located in various parts of the city.
Those who are not in such serious
condition are sent, if possible, to one
of the several sanitariums out in the
state.
There has been a remarkable de-
crease in the number of deaths from
tuberculosis since this new law went
into effect, and the city officials are do
ing their best to enforce it in order that
they may get track Of every case in the
city.
I'm Philadelphia the Phipps dispen-
sary, recently donated to the city by a
philanthropic citizen, is doing some re-
markable work in the care of the tu-
berculous poor. Since it was opened
last February 1,601 cases have been
treated there. There. are fifty-three
beds for patients in serious condition,
and those who are not SO serious are
furnished with milk and eggs, as well
as medicine, by the dispensary.
"They are striving for more intelli-
gence in regard to the plague in Wash
ington by lectures among the poor peo-
pie Good results are being reaped.
''As in Minnesota, they have state
commission in Maryland for the inves-
tigation of tuberculosis. The commits
sion is now gathering data and eX-
poets to hold state conference of ply
sicians to consider the subject before
long"

ART OPENING DREW
A LARGE CROWD
Many Women Thronged to Visit New
Department at Manufacturers.

All feminine st. Paul descended on
the newly fitted and freshly stocked
art embroidery department at Mann
heimers' yesterday, and enjoyed
raptures without number over the
beautiful creations there displayed.
Fashion has decreed that a home. to
be we'll furnished must abound in the
dainty little embroidered affairs, SO
dear to the woman's heart, and the dis
play offered at yesterdays opening won
ardent admirers without number
among the fair sex.
Beauty and daintiness in overwhelm-
ing profusion was shown in the almost
endless variety of offerings displayed,
and hard indeed it would be to con-
ceive of a taste which could not be sat
isfied from the choice offered.
Soft clinging silk Grapes with the pc
cuiiarly characteristic Japanese embroid
cry; alluring sofa pillows in squares of
filet and embroidery; table Ornaments.
adorned in wonderfully attractive styie
with Cluny lace; exquisite doiies and cob
Webby centerpieces; table Grapes of every
imaginable style and yarfety-in fact
everything in the line of art embroid-
cry" combine to win and hold the atten-
ton to the fair visitors who thronged the
aisles from the opening until the closing
hours of the reception.
Much however in addition to the softer
forms of embroidery and table pieces is
displayed in the department. Christmas
cards, hand decorated of course. find a
place in one corner of the exhibit, while
another holds out a lalf-dozen little
novelties for the dressing table and chif-
fonier-glove and tie boxes and a fetch
ingly made little letter file in dainty old
French cretonne, with endless little
iek-knacks dear to the feminine heart
including little theater book bound in
Tapa and finished in leather, with a
space for the photographs of ones favor
ties and clippings anent their perform
anceS. PilloWs-which SO add to the COM
fort and attractiveness of a couch-are
TO be seen in abundance, ranging from
the subdued and dainty colors of the
boudoir to the flaming and riotous colors
of the Orient Here too are grass cloth
prints in unique designs and beautiful
colors.
Pieces for home working in dainty linen
lunch and center pieces at most
reasonable prices form a display which
attracted not little attention-sugges-
tions of the possibilities along the line of
decoration being displayed in the finished
pieces exhibited with the plain ones
Exquisite pieces of duchess and point
laceS are displayed in show case, secure
from the sacrilegious touch of the dusty
atmosphere, the designs offered creating
more than one sigh of envy to escape the
fair visitors.
Throughout the department, beauty is
displayed at every turn, and the crowd
of visitors during the entire day yester-
day was a continuous one.
Today is the last day of the formal
opening.

SENDS HIS BRIEF TO
WASHINGTON BY WIRE
Attorney General Forwards Reasons
for Advancing Case on Calendar.

1t is not customary in legal procedure
to send briefs across the country by
wire, but this course was found neces-
sary yesterday by Attorney General
Douglas in the Northern Securities
case. ,ss1,I
Attorney General Douglas, on behalf
of the state, had made application be-
fore the United States supreme court
to have the case advanced on the cal
endar of that court. Yesterday he re-
ceived word from C. w. Somerby,s who
is representing the office at Washing
ton, that the Northern Securities COM
pany had objected to the advancement
of the case and filed reply denying
the jurisdiction of the supreme court.

sociate counsel in this case held a con-
terence and prepared a brief of 400

WANT MORE HOMES
ON THE WEST SIDE
Sixth Wafdefs Would Secure
Organization of Home Build.
ing Association.

An effort to secure the organization
of home building association, which
will devote it's entire energies to the
improvement of the Sixth ward. will be
made by the West Side improvement
association The plans for the pro-
posed venture, which capitalists of the
city will be asked to take up, were sub
mitted to the association last evening
at Martins hall. They were prepared
by a committee which has been study
ing the subject for several weeks.
Henry J. Hadlich, who presented the
report, said that the need of homes on
the West side for rental purposes was
very urgent at present. He declared
that the committee believed that If the
proper arrangements for loaning peo-
pie money could be arranged, many
people now renting would borrow mon
ey and improve the vacant lots which
| they are permitting to lay idle. In this
way, he argued, these people would Sc
| cure permanent homes in the ward, and
the houses that they are now occupying
would be thrown open to other renters.
Would Start with $4,000 Capital.
The committee recommended that
the proposed organization be known
as the Sixth Ward Home association
and be capitalized at $4,000. The loans
are only to be made on property in the
| Sixth ward and to persons who want
| the money to build homes on West side
| lots and will occupy the homes. No
| loans Of more than $4,000 are to be
made, and all are to be secured by first
| mortgages. Such a plan as this, if fol-
| lowed out in the organization, would
| result in solid association, the COM
| mittee believed.
| A committee was instructed to visit
| the street railway company and try to
| secure better service between 5 and
| o'clock in the evening on the Concord
| and State street lines. They were also
| told to find out why the big cars on the
| South Wabasha street line were not
| forthcoming, as the company had
| promised year ago.
| A resolution urging every member
| of the association to attend the meet
| ing Of the city council next Tuesday
evening and to use all their influence
| in trying to secure the passage of the
| Michael gas franchise ordinance was
I adopted. A large number promised to
attend.

AGAIN COMPLAIN OF
SKIDMORE OBSTRUCTION
Work of Clearing Away Wreck of the
Building Progresses Slowly.

Complaint has again been lodged
with the engineering department re-
garding the slow progress being made
in the removing of the distractions
from the street and sidewalk in front
of the Skidmore block on Fifth street.
The building collapsed early in June
and since that time the sidewalk and
street have been blocked off with lot
of timbers used in supporting the front
walls Of the structure. After some Wig
orous protests from City Engineer
Rundlett few men were put to work
by the owners repairing the structure
but they have made slow progress.
People in passing the building are
compelled to make detour into the
street and in front of the street cars
which are passing every few minutes
The situation is all the more eompli-
Gated since work was begun on another
building a block farther up the street.

. The county commissioners yesterday
voted to Vice Chairman Gray OF the board
a contingent fund of $3.50 as a means
of solving the problem of team hire in
connection with the inspection of the
county roads.
The appropriation of this amount IS
made possible by the law of 1895, which
permits the board to lay aside 5000 for
contingent expenses. In order to test
the validity of the appropriation. the
board yesterday secured carriage ana
went out to inspect the Edgerton street
road The carriage will be charged to
the county, and if County Attorney Kane
refuses to approve the bill, the matter
will be tested. in the courts.
Ever. since decision was handed down
in the district court holding the road
and bridge law of 1902 to be unconsti-
tutional the members of the county board
have been considerably worried as to who
would pay the bills for teams and car
riages used by the commissioners while
inspecting county roads and bridges.
County Attorney Kane informed the
board that there was no provision in the
law as it now stands for team hire, and
that the only manner in which the com
missioners could inspect the roads would
be for them to make the trips at their
own expense.
The board, however, found a provision
in the 1895 law providing for a contingent
fund of $500, ana it was decided that this
fund could beliereated and the expenses
of inspection paid therefrom.
Board Ignores Legal Adviser.
The question was brought up at Mon
days meeting, but at that time Assistant
County Attorney O'Neill decided that the
board had no authority to create this fund
for such a purpose. Regardless of this
decision the board, at its adjourned meet
ing yesterday, voted to create the con-
tingent fund and half of the amount al
lowed by the law of 1855 was appropriated,
it being the intention of the commission
ers to create the fund solely for the pur-
pose of paying the expenses of inspect
ing county roads -
1t was rumored yesterday that County
Attorney Kane would refuse to approve
the bills when sent Ito his Office on the
ground that the board has no authority
to draw upon the contingent fund for an
expense of this mature. The matter will
doubtless be settled in the courts. M
The meeting of the board yesterday
morning was short one, the only bust
ness transacted aside from the creation of
the contingent fund, being the approval
of the board s1action in making up the
1904 budget, which. was done last July.
The budget WAS approved without any
changes + f- 4.-N r

APPROPRIATES $4,000
TO CLEAN STREETS
Aldermen Give City Engineer a Little
Lift.

The sum of $4,000 was placed to the
credit of City Engineer Rundlett by
the board of aldermen last night to aid
him in the cleaning of the streets.
The care of the dumping grounds has
heretofore been met from the street,
sewer and garbage fund, and on Mr..
Rundletts representation that it did
not properly belong to that department,
the general fund was called upon to de-
fray the expense,
Originally $4,000 was set aside from
the street fund to pay for the work
and this amount will now be used in
cleaning the streets instead. In his
letter to the board, Mr.. Rundlett asked
that an effort be made to bring the
crippled condition of his department to
the notice of the charter commission.

time. while the father is said to have
