EGYPTIAN WORKMEN
Their Lot Is Anything But an Envi-
able One.

Their Lot Is Anything But an Env1-
able One.
The position of the laborer in Egypt
is not an enviable one, according to a
report recently received at the depart
ment of state. There are about eight
million people in Egypt. The greater
part are devoted to agriculture, only
few being engaged in commerce and
industry. The labor supply is large
and the wages low. In upper Egypt
wages are from 9 to II cents per diem;
in lower, Egypt, 13 to Is cents Board
is never furnished. In. addition to
wages by the day or the month (the
latter for overseers) payments may be
made according to the work-for ex-
ample, to pillow one and one-quarter
acres, "a cents; to irrigate 1t, 70 cents.
The fallaheen prefer to receive their
wages in natural products, particular
ly shares Of the crops-as, for sowing
and reaping,, per cent Of the grain;
for threshing, / per cent of the grain
and per cent Of the straw. In grow
ing cotton on bad ground they receive
from one-third to one-half the crop;
on good ground, about one-ffth of
the crop and the refuse parts of the
cotton plant, to be used as firewood.
In the case of corn, the laborer gets
one-han Of the crop; in rice, which re-
quires irrigation, three-fifths. The fell
laheen do not like to work where 1t
is necessary to use the sakieh or sha-
doof (mechanisms to draw water by
animals or by hand, respectively.

WILLIAM IS BALKY
Turns Down Prefer of Public Pa
tronage to Withdraw.

An official call for the meeting of
the democratic county committee was
issued today, the time being the even
ing of July 20, in one of the municipal
courtrooms at the city hall. The COM
mittee now is strictly Haynes COM
bination. The Hearst faction, which
wants Billy Williams made chair
man, claims that four men who were
elected on the committee as their men,
have gone over to the enemy" These
are Peter Hill of the sixth ward,
Richard bakersfield Of the thirteenth
ward, the temporary secretary, and
Messrs. Engel and Naseth, country
members. The reason given by some
of these men for turning is that Viii
liams, in their estimation, could not
raise the money needed for the cam
paign, and money is something that
they believe can't be dispensed with,
especially in the sixth ward; and the
Haynes faction already has plentiful
supply of the long green"
The Haynes men have sent several
persons to interview Williams to see
If he would listen to a compromise
and withdraw his personal demand
for the craftsmanship. Williams is
soon to launch a job printing estab-
| lishment They offered him all the
city and county job printing If he
would only be good, remain sa tisfied
with simply membership on the
committee, and let everybody work
in harmony for Haynes personal in
terests. But Chilly remained as
! balky and obstinate as ever.
Because Of the strenuous fight In
the county committee, the democratic
aldermen are talking Of getting up a
city campaign committee which shall
act entirely separate from the county
committee, to thus make sure that
! the campaign work would be for the
benefit of the subordinate candidates

& HOLD A SPECIAL MEMORIAL

{ 1t was new jury that decided the mer-
Its of the yeast foam case, pending in
the federal court. Some time ago an in
junction was issued against H. B. Strait
prohibiting him from using labels similar
to those used by the Northwestern Yeast
Foam company. The court required that
sample packages be produced. Before the
merits could be discussed the court adj
journed, and the packages of the disputing
firms were boxed up for future reference
This morning, when the case was re-
opened, the first thing to do was to open
the bow Of samples.
/, Lo. When the lid was taken off, it was
found that the case had been tried Scores
OF mice had been at work. and it looked
as If the yeast cakes had been indiscrim-
tnately destroyed. But when the box had
been emptied out the discovery was made
than only the cakes of the defendant had
been eaten.
4 For FORMS sake, the court is still in
Session but there is little doubt that the
case will be decided on the evidence of
the little rodents.

LARGE TERRITORY
INCREASES TAXES
LESS EXPEN-.
sIVE IN COMPACT CITIES.
Alderman G. B. Holmes Gives Rea-
sons Why Per Capita Tax Is
Heavier in Minneapolis Than in the
Older Cities Of the Country - East
ern Conditions.

"It is very natural that the per
capita tax should be higher in Min
neapolis than in many other large
cities" remarked Alderman C. B..
Holmes this morning in, discussing the
comparison, in some
other cities. 7 see that Milwaukee
is held up as a city in which taxation
is much lighter to the individual than
in Minneapolis. First, it must be re-
membered that while Milwaukee has
a greater population than Minneapo-
the area. Next, it must be renem-
bered that Milwaukee is considerably
older than Minneapolis. II
AS a result of the first condition,
its greatly expanded territory, this
city must have a much larger water
distributing system, sewer system and
street system to accommodate a
It costs money to get these improve
ments and naturally the people must
pay for them. Into these expenses
must come the cost Of street lighting,
street sprinkling and other improve
ments such as fire stations. Any one
will readily see that if the present
population Of Minneapolis was COM
pressed into less than half the pres
ent area it would not require as
many miles of watermains, sewers,
sidewalks, street improvements fire
stations, etc. In other words, the
expenditures for these necessities
would be much less and the per
capita tax would be reduced in conse-
quence.
The growth Of the city has beer
very rapid. Minneapolis has become
big city since 187O-say, thirty
years-while other : municipalities
have had two or three times as lone
a period in which to develop. Il
consequence Minneapolis has had only
about one-half the time or one-third
the time in which to acquire metro.
politan improvements that othel
large cities have had. The greater
the. public work in a given time the
greater the expense, and, consequent
ly, the greater the per capita tax.
zone principal item in explaining
the higher Ter capita tax for Mime
apolis is the excellent school system
It Is a fact that the only city in the
country which pays more per capits
for public schools is Boston. I have
never heard any one begrudge thu
| money expended on schools, but
assuredly raises the per capita tax.
Much could be said on this sub
| ject, but it seems to me that a little
| thought would convince any one tina
there is a, reason for a cOmparatlVel.
| higher per capita tax in this city
Such is likely to be the case for SOM

bound to have the advantage in thi
respect over the newer communities
and particularly if they are NOR

Yet she possessed, evidently, some OF

hesitation she turned appealingly TO
an elderly man seated nearest TO her:

Then, as the poor little girl. utter

HOT WEATHER
IS A GODSEND
TT IS JUST WHAT THE WHEAT
NEEDS.
A Few More Days Like Today Will
Bring the Grain Up to Where 1t
Should Be at This Time-Some Dan
ger of Rust.

"A godsend to the northwest Is
what the grainmen say of the present
weather. All over Minnesota and the
Dakotas grain crops are again making
progress and hope now centers in the
maintenance of clear skies and high
temperature, for such a period as will
enable them to catch up to where they
should be at this date.
Bad reports are looked for soon, as
hot weather in districts formerly
soaked by rains cannot fail to develop
rust in wheat, but this must be ex-
pected in any case, and will not count
for much against growing weather
and plant development.
At 8 o'clock "a degrees was regis
tered at Minneapolis, the temperature
running up rapidly little later. From
Minneapolis west and northwest the
temperatures were lower and the
barometer line across North Dakota
cate more rain.
The danger point over Sunday is
in Brown county, South Dakota, where
barley and hay are being cut, and
where much of the wheat is ''in the
milk Ninety-five was the thermom-
sent by the Western Union observer
at 1890 am, and this was enough
to suggest the possibility of hot
wind" scare, should the thermometer
run still higher. A rush of Geographic
inquiries went up to Aberdeen and
failed to draw anything alarming. At
1880 Whallon had a report Of Sc in
the shade, with light cool wind and
everything favorable. Appleton,
Mimi, registered IS, with a southeast
wind; Hector Mimi, SS, with the
wind due south; Fargo, 81; Bismarck,
! u, and Watertown, South Dakota, IS.
Wind was reported moving the grain
everywhere, which is favorable, as a
hot sun following extreme moisture
almost invariably develops rust-pro-
ducing vapor, unless there is some mo-
| ton to the standing grain.
| Already there are estimates being
made as to when harvest will begin
in Minnesota, and it is figured that
some wheat-cutting will be heard OF
| by Aug, TO- on the Hastings & Da-
kota, division Of the Milwaukee, and
that harvesting will begin on the
Breckenridge division Of the Great
Northern by August 15. Such esti-
mates are entirely provisional, and
based upon maintenance of good
weather, they represent about the best
possible that may be expected in the
| way of early cutting.

MICRoBE OF OLD ACE
London Physician Says Senility Is an
Infectious Disease.


Infectious Disease.
In lecture on "Old Age" deliv-
cred by DR.. Menchnikoff, the speaker
expressed the opinion that senility
was produced by certain physiologi-
cal states which cause the benefcent
species Of microbes called mac
rophages'' to increase too rapidly.
Then in their turn they become in
furious.
These parasites flourish in the large
intestine, which mammals possess,
whereas in birds it is almost entirely
lacking. The result was shown in the
person Of the doctors own dog, which
was decrepit at Is, while the Doctors
parrot, aged 70, appeared to the audi
ence hale and lively.
1T stands proved says the doc
tor. that senility Is an infectious dis
ease, and 1t should be possible to treat
it like other maladies--to cure it OF
prevent It,"
The hope was expressed by DR..
Menchnikoff that a serum would
shortly be discovered to counteract
the "macrophages" and prolong hu.
man life; meantime. says the Figaro
he recommended the consumption Of
curdled milk.

WEDDING GUESTS
FLED IN TERROR
CHARIvARI CROWD BROKE IN,
DEMANDING DRINKS.
When the Bride Was Taken to the

Broke Thru Escort and Struck Her
in the Face with His Fist.

Bursting into the house where

manded drink money under threat
Of violence. Forewarned by riot

one Of the charivari party broke thru
the guarding line and planted his
fist heavily in the face Of the bride.
Two policemen were present thru
out the disturbance. They were
fundamentally inefficient.
Such was the stormy matrim onial
preface of couple married Tuesday
evening at 511 Girard avente N.
Early in the evening when the mob
began to collect it would have been
comparatively easy to have turned
them away. But when the "sere-
naders," becoming more and more in
famed with liquor, saw that the Off
Ger joined them in demanding a
compromise by the wedding party,
they burst all bounds and entered the
door unimpeded by the logical guardi-
ans of the peace. In the bowling
party Of invaders there were about
forty women who urged ON the men
and boys and themselves seized stones
and melon rinds and threw them at
che guests.
Three times a hurry call was sent to
police headquarters. Altho addition
al officers were sent to the scene, they
lent no aid,
By the time the benediction was
pronounced, the noise had grown SO
threatening that it was decided at
once to take the carriages and escape.
But even here the wedding party was
blocked and the bride was struck in
melee. Meantime the guests We're
forced to escape thru the back alleys,
followed by tin cans, stones and
everything throwable.

LIKELY TO CUT
MAYORS SALARY
LEGALITY OF NEW CITY SALARY
SCHEDULE QUESTIONED.
The City Treasurer Has Been Paying
Mayor and Aldermen on New Basis
Without Warrants, and Now the
Bonding Companies Are Pointedly
Asking Why.

It is understood at the city hall
that the extra stipends which the
mayor and aldermen have been draw
ing since the first of the year will
not be forthcoming any longer, as G.
S. Hubert, the city treasurer Will
refuse to recognize the council reso-
luton approving the extra payroll
until the court has passed on the
legality of the legislative act increas-
ing the salaries OF these officials. Mr..
Hubert is at Minnetonka today and
cannot be seen, but it is understood
that he is far from satisfied with the
present arrangement.
When the act increasing the sal
airy of the mayor from $4,000 to
$4,000, and of the aldermen from
$500 to $500 went into effect, Joshua
Rogers, city controller, refused to
countersign the warrants. The coun-
Gil thereupon passed a separate pay
roll directing the city treasurer to
honor the same. Mr.. Hubert was at
that time preparing for trip to CAL
ifornia, and, being assured that the
act would be tested, directed his as
sistants to recognize the council de-
cree. At that time it was generally
understood that the Commercial club
or the Taxpayers league would take
the matter into court. No such step
was taken on the ground that public
sentiment favored the higher salaries.
Good legal authority held that the
act was law until it was set aside,
and that the city treasurer had ample
authority to honor the payroll regard
less of the controller.
In the meantime Controller Rogers,
in his monthly reports, has noted that
the extra salaries for the mayor and
aldermen have been paid without
warrant" which has caused some
comment by the bonding companies.
To what extent Mr.. Hubert is inf1u-
enced is not known, but it is reported
that he will insist on a test in court
before paying out any more money
in accordance with the act.

HOPE IN THE ROCKIES
COOL WAVE is SAID TO BE
HEADED THIS WAY FROM THE
FAR WEST.
Hot? Ask the weather man.

It's a sizzler all over the country, from
way down east to the shores of the set
ting sun. However, there is one place
where the temperature is falling, and that
is in the Rocky mountain district. This
means that a cool wave may be due in
Minnesota In twenty-four hours.
This morning at 7 o'clock the Their
nlometer registered over 16 degrees hotter
than yesterday morning at the same hour.
Yesterday was no tcool, as will be re-
membered. This means that the mercury
will ascend way up into the 90s before the
sun goes down, and there is a strong
likelihood that the 100 mark will be
passed.
