Berlin Correspondent GlasgoW Herald
The medical department of the war office
publishes a report by Professor Koch on
the combating of typhoid. The professor
remarks that sanitary reforms in the
towns have done much for the prevention
Of the disease. while in the country it is
still widespread on account Of the small
attention paid there to matters of health.
Typhoid Is. according to Professor Koch.
essentially transferable. He has found that
in typhoid districts children very often fall
i'll without the doctor or any authority be-
ing called In, SO that the Illness can easily
be passed on to others, espe ciaEy as chill
dren are able to compass it without any
great disturbance of their general health
The only means of preventing typhoid from
spreading consists he Gays, in the COM
plete isolation of the sick. and on these
lines he has so successfully experimental
at Treves that he was able to stamp It out
completely in a group of villages in the
neighborhood notorious for the frequency
of it's typhoid cases.
Professor Koch, at The conclusion of his
report. suggests that new institution for
the combating of infectious diseases should

Lincoln's Strongest Attribute.
From Leslie's Weekly

The strongest attribute OF Lincoln was
his power Of self-controi Sentiment might
sway him, burt a mob never moved him.
When 5ealousies In the army bred a popular
clamor against General Grant, while the
latter was winning famous victories in the
southwest, Lincoln listened to no word Of
scandal and by his silence rebuked the de-
tanners of the general who afterward be-
came the admiration of the world. When
in the feyered tumult of passion an angry
north seemed to voice general demand
for the infection of the death penalty upon
Jefferson Davis. Lincoln listened in silence
and waited for reason to resume its sway.
He was always looking over the heads of
the crowd; he was always listening to the
still, small voice that echoed In the dis
lance, far away from the roar of vehement
denunciation. The majesty of the law con-
stantly appealed to his fine judicial sense.

"Colored' Shoes.

From the Shoe and Leather Reporter.
If colored shoes are not generally worn
they are popular In the army. as evidenced
by recent contracts given out for the manu-
featuring of shoes for the members of ne
United States army. One contract was f5f
81 coo pairs of shoes, all colored. there be
ing not a single pair of blacks in the order
In another order was included SS4 pairs
of colored shoes. This gives the impress
sion that for army wear coiored SHOES are
-preferred. They lcok better for a longer
period of time with reasonable care than
black goods in the opinion OF the army
officials. For hot weather colored snoss
are viewed by sensible people as a most
common-sense proposition.

Letter to Payne.

Washington, June 2.-Postmaster
General Payne today made public the
letter of former First Assistant Post
master General Heath in reply to the
charges made by former Cashier S.
w. Tulloch, of the Washington post
office In his reply Heath says:
Il never appointed any person to any
position or retained any one in any po-
sition, at any time, with any sort OF
notion that he or she was not to render
full honest service to the government
for the pay received. The intimation
that there was AN honorary roll upon
which a person was placed Tor pOlltlcai,
personal or other purposes than good
service, is a pure invention. 1t is
lie out of the whole cloth. as are most
of the inputatons of Tulloch. If any
persons were so appointed or retained
it was thru their own dishonest de-
signs"

Of Superintendent B. F. Egan Of the
Great Northern railroad, who was lost
In the mountains of Montana while
hunting, Nov. 4, were recovered yes
terday near Lake Five. short dis
tance from where he was last seen
alive
The first organized effort to find
Egan was made on Thursday, Nov. s.
A special train left Kalispell that morn
ing with large party of men for Lake
Five and Half Moon lake, where Mr..
Houston and Egan had separated in
the middle OF the afternoon of Tues
day, Nov. 4.
On Thursday it was believed that If
he was not found that night there
would be no chance to find the body
before spring, because Of a great snow
storm that was raging. Railroad en-
ployes were blamed for the delay in the
search, and it was believed that Egan
could have been rescued had the
searching party started one day sooner.
Two additional searching parties left
Kalispell on Saturday, one headed by
Sheriff Hand of Butte, and the other by
Mayor Logan.
The section OF the country where
Egan became lost abounds in bear and
mountain lions. The growth Of timber
is dense, and the country mountainous.

actual loss of life when the waters have
finally receded. 1t is believed several
persons were drowned and their bodies
have foated away The work of relief
went on thru the night. and has been

Topeka is an epidemic of diseases. AT
the relief depots where The refugees are
huddled together several persons are
suffering with contagious diseases and
We're removed TO the hospitals as rap
idly as possible. The absence of good
drinking water is another disease
breeder. Money Is the thing most
needed and now the citizens are con-
tributing nobly. but the demands of the
situation are great. Offers of aid from:
outside cities are pouring in, but the
governor and Commercial Club have SO
far refused all such. The attitude of the
Commercial Club. especially in the mat
ter of outside aid, is not meeting with
unanimous approval. In fact. there is
much criticism of its action. The Com
mercial Club has at its command less
than $4,000. 1t is estimated by many
that the work of relief and rehubilita-
ton will require 100000. Topeka Is
powerless to raise that amount of
money without Gripping itself serious
ly The Elks Club, which is up to the
present time the largest subscriber to
the relief fund, thousand dollars hav-
ing been raised by that organization,
has adopted resolutions condemning the

resolution characterizes the action as

so far as the immediate submerged

drowned-out residents have moved

This was the fifteenth day, with one
exception, of rainfall. Many of the

AT Beatrice the worst is thought to
be over, but the town is still isolated,
except by wire, and there has been no
mail for five days. Conditions are
worse at Crete, where the Blue river
is the highest since the flood of 1881.
Bridges are out and much stock has
been drowned. At Tecumseh the Ne

Oshkosh. Wis, June 2.-Rev. Merton
C. Andrews, for the last nine years rec
tor of st. Paups Episcopal church OF
this city, has resigned his pastorate and
announces he will Withdraw from the
ministry He takes this step for the
reason that Bishop Grafton has refused
his sanction to the latest project Of the
priest - that of operating cafe on
Main street. Father Andrews has for
years conducted a butcher shop, gro
Gerry store and a chicken farm. but this
bishop would not look with favor upon
the safe project. Andrews has been
the subject of number of sensational
attacks both within and without his
church. and has been the defendant in
an ecclesiastical trial, wherein he was
charged with conduct urbecoming to 8
minister, in consorting with improper
people and in frequenting improper
places. His defense was that he was
doing as he thought Christ would do IL
he were upon earth, ana he was ac-
quilted.
