possibly due to the recent rains.

INJURE LIVE STOCK.
Diseases Are Reported Upon BY Gov
eminent Official.

Washington. D. G., Aug. 23.-The
secretary of agriculture received pre-
liminary report from DR.. Holcomb of
the bureau of animal industry, who
has been investigating swamp fever
and blood poisoning of live stock in
some parts of Minnesota and South
Dakota. The report indicates that
these diseases are prevalent on a con-
siderable area in the two states, the
swamp fever attacking horses and a
special case of blood poisoning the
cattle.
He has recon mended further in
vestigation and elaborate experiments
to determine the cause of the diseases
and try to find remedies. His sug-
gestion will be acted upon by DR.. Sol

THE BIG MEMS FIGHT
FRIDAY NIGHT jim JEFFRIEs AND
JACK MONROE WILL
COME TOGETHER.
Outcome Is Hard to Make Good
Guess on Because of Monroe's In
known Powers-Jeffries Has Met
and Defeated Several Good Men.

San Francisco, Aug. 20. -(Special)
Next Friday night in this city James
]. Jeffries and John Munroe will bat
tie for the heavyweight championship
of the world.
There is no dope" on which to fore
cast the result of this battle as far as
the Munroe side of 1t is concerned. He
has done what has been asked Of him
SO far, but not much has been asked
His most notable performance was
besting Tom Sharkey in six rounds in
Philadelphia But the Sharkey that
Munroe met was not the Sharkey that
stood Jeffries off for twenty-five
rounds at Coney Island on the night of
November 3, 1899. The pounding Jim
gave Tom that night effectually SET
tied forever Sharkey's chances for the
pugilistic championship. Although on
that occasion Sharkey was not knock
ed out, he was battered to pieces and
the stamina for which he had been
noted was erased from his physical
makeup.
While all things are possible and
great surprises come in the pugilistic
business, it is not thought that Mum
roe will seriously affect Jeffries'
championship standing. When Mum
roe met Jeffries at Butte and stayed
four rounds with him, he met a man
out of condition, and totally unfit to
go four rounds at fast clip. A cham
pion athlete out of condition and Q
champion athlete in condition are two
greatly different propositions.
Jeffries Typical Champion.
Jeffries does not differ much in his
manner of living from the champions
who have gone before him. From the
days of Tom Crib, Molineux, William
Perry. Tom Sayres, Heenan, Yankee
Sullivan, Jem Mace, Tom Allen, Joe
Goss, Paddy Ryan, John L. Sullivan,
Corbett and all down the line, the
champions have kept late rours, have
looked on the wine when it was red,
have kept bad company of all kinds,
when there was nothing doing" and
have led many people to think that
they were not as good as they were
reported TO be. They lived with as lit
tie effort as they could, and enjoyed
in their way the fat of the land. They
ate. drank and made merry -celebrat.
ing at night and sleeping in the day
time
That is the way it was, and that is

CULTURE STATIONS.

REAU TO ESTABLISH THEM
IN EVERY CITY IN IOWA.
ottun,wa the Only City in the State
Having meteorological Laboratory
OF Its oWn-To Keep Supply Of
Diagnosis Outfits.

Tho plan to establish Culture sta
tons" in every city in the state in con-
nection with the state psychological
laboratory is decided advance in the
method of preventing the spread of dis
ease but believe that every county
seat in the state should have bacter-
illogical laboratory of its own similar
to the one in Ottumwa." said DR.. W.
B. LaForce today in speaking of the
new method to be adopted by the state
health officers. Director Henry AL
bert of the laboratory at Iowa City
has sent notices to the physicians and
health officers of Iowa regarding the In
tention to establish culture stations"
and the object is to make the work of
the laboratory as efficient as possible.
Ottumwa has for years had bacter-
Illogical laboratory where examina-
tions for tuberculosis, diphtheria, scar
let fever and other disease germs are
made by the physician to the board of
health and is the only city in Iowa 80
equipped. Under this plan when
physician suspects the presence of a
contagious disease he gets a culture
tube from the laboratory and after it
is returned the examination Is COM
pleted within a few hours by the health
physician. Many examinations are
made for physicians in neighboring
towns. DR.. LaForce states that the
laboratory has proven q great economy
In health and In financial way. He
has long advocated the establishment
of archaeological laboratory in every
county seat in Iowa and says the cost
Is comparatively small.
III The Culture Stations.
In establishing the culture stations
the plan is to place culture tubes in the
various cities and towns, and the ply
.sieians will send these when necessary
to the state laboratory for examipa-
ton. The result will be made known
by telegraph.
I The culture stations will constant
" keep diphtheria, typhoid and tub
ereulosis diagonisis outfits on hands
and will supply them free Of charge
to all physicians who desire to make
use Of them The culture stations are
to be chosen by the local health Off
Ger with the concurrence of the direct
or of the laboratory. Before any COM
munity can receive the benefits of the
laboratory the director of the labora-
tory. Before any community can re-
ceive the benefits of the laboratory the

goes to bed regular and he gets up
regular. He has prescribed routine
with small variations, and it is carried
through in way that makes him wish
it was all over. He gets UP in the
morning and takes little exercise be-
fore breakfast, then eats and sits
around for while. and then the real
work of the day begins. He runs
miles with sweaters on to take off
weight and to make his wind good; he
boxes, wrestles, swings clubs, punches
the bag and is rubbed and massaged
until he wishes his trainers and his
opponent were in Hades. And he
keeps this up for weeks, and on the
date of his contest he is, physically, a
different being from the fat, slow man
he was when he started to train.
When training for his previous
bouts, there has always been a lot of
talk coming from Jeffries' training
camp about how he would not work,
was crippled, etc. While training for
his fight with Corbett the reports had
him a total wreck, but he came into
the ring in better condition than he
ever was in his life. 1t is not reason
able to suppose that a man of Jeffries'
experience is going into the ring out
of condition.

he put Corbett out in the twenty-third

Jack Munroe has been fighting a

at his best, when he (Munroe) met
him. About two years ago he was in
Butte, Mont, and accepted Jeffries'
challenge to defeat all corners in four
rounds. In this effort he was success

his profession in Englnad. Mr.. Shek-

pointment with the royal commission
on tuberculosis, his work being linn
tied to that subject For two and one

city of London in charge of the bac-
THEOLOGICAL examinations of water,

No Water AnaIyseo.
Director Alherts in his letter to the
physicians and health officers in the
state, says that the limited appropria.
ton provided for the laboratory makes
1t possible at present only to under
take the routine diagnostic work in
connection with diphtheria, typhoid fe-
yer, tuberculosis and rabies, it being
understood that the examinations are
made only in the interests of the pub
lie health. The meteorological and
chemical analysis of the public water
supplies problem of very great i'm,
portance-cannot properly be under
taken at the present time except when
the public health Is eminently concern
ed, as in epidemics of typhoid fever.
At such occasions the director of the
r.
laboratory will have such bacteriolog-
ical and chemical examinations of the
water supply. milk supply, etc, made,
and such other investigations conduct
ed as shall tend to lead to discovery
of the source Of the epidemic, whenev'

of the city or town concerned. Says
Professor Albert: Such examina-
tons shall only be made when the di-
rector or some one whom he may des-

birthday yesterday messages of hearty
congratulation poured in upon him
from all of the courts of Eurpoe. 1t
is doubtful, however, if Kink leopold
has received single felicitous note
on the occasion of his birthday,
though the foreign diplomats. bound
by custom and etiquette. called to pay
their respects on behalf of their re.
spective sovereigns.
Among the sovereigns Of Europe
there appears to be just at present
a well-defned disposition to boycott
the Belgian king. A short time ago
1t was officially given out here that 1t
would be impossible for King Leo
pold to cross the Atlantic owing TO
the necessity of his staying at
home to welcome Emperor Francis
Joseph to Belgium in June, on the con.
clusion of that monarch's visit to
England. In response to this a semi.
official announcement comes from
Vienna to the effect that the Austrian
emperor has for the present no in
tention whatever of paying a visit to
Belgium.
King Leopold endeavored to have
the king and queen of Italy stop over
in Belgium on their return to Rome
from England last fall, but his efforts
were fruitless. 1t was announced that
Emperor Villa, when he started for
the Mediterranean last month would
stop TO see King Leopold, but as a
matter of fact the German Emperor
carefully avoided stopping at any Bel
gian port, though he took pains to
make a stop at Dover Since his ac-
cession King Edward has never Wis.
tied the court of Brussels, though he
is a former friend of Leopold and a
very near relative. Even President
Loubert has turned a deaf ear to the
proposals that he should return in
state at Brussels the numerous visits
which King Leopold has made to
Paris.
Strange as it may appear the gen.
eral dislike with which he is regarded
abroad has raised the king in the esti-
nation of his own people. The Bel
gians are content to criticise him
themselves, but do not like foreigners
to do so, regarding it as incumbent
upon their national dignity to defend
their chief executive from reproach.
All classes, excepting, of course, the
most rabid socialists, are ready to
admit that while all of the kings pub
lie and private acts are not to be ap.
proved, yet as monarch he has been
of inestimable advantage to his coun-
try, contributing in no small measure
