I'm proYements at Germania Brewery.

Foust Bros. in the work of rebuild
ing at the Germania Brewery have ac-
complished quite feat by erecting a
new building without tearing down
the old one TO make room for it.
A substantial brick building is re-
placing the rambling and dilapidated
frame structure, which for the great
or part of the last century was a land
mark on the spot The owners began
the work with the intention of keep
ing the brewery in operation while re-
building, if possible, and in this they
have succeeded. Only one section of
the brewery is built at time and the
work is so conducted that it is neCes-
sary to pull down only a small portion
of the old building at one time, as the
new wall rises to take its place. A
greater part of the brick work TO
the second story was laid up with the
roof of the old structure still overhead
and the work in the brewery going on
without the least interruption.

VaCCinating Cattle.

At meeting of the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board held on Saturday re-
ports were received relative to the in.
vestigation which is being conducted
by the board for the protection of cat
tie from tuberculosis by vaccination.
State Veterinarian Dr.. Leonard Pear
son, and Dr. S. II. Gilland have been
conducting experiments in the endeav-
or to ascertain whether cattle can be
immuned from the disease by means
of vaccination. These experiments
have developed the fact that vaccinat-
ed cattle exposed for year 10 daily
contact with animals affected with the
disease did not contract it while those
which had not been vacCinated readily
became affected.
Calves of infected COWS are now be-
ing vaccinated and left with their
diseased mothers They are allowed to
use the parent milk for the purpose of
ascertaining whether vaccination will
prove effective under these conditions
1t is generally conceded that unvaC-
cinated calves raised with cattle in
fected with tuberculosis contract the
disease.

BELIEVE JAPANESE
WILL REST AWHILE

ST. PETERSBURG, May "a . p.
1.-THE prevailing opinion at tn
headquarters of the general staff is
that the withdrawal of Tie japanese
upon Fong Wang Cheng means that
the enemy mas decided to devote him.
self primarily to operations against
Port Arthur and that the present OBJ
iect of General Kuroki, with the First
Army, supported by General Nadya,
with the Third Army now landing
near Taku Shan, is to watch General
Kuropatkin and prevent a move south
ward which would take General Oku
and the Second army, on the Lao
Tung peninsula, i'll the rear.
A direct attack upon General Kuro-
patkin's main force apparently Is not
considered to be impending. Nothing
more than outpost affairs are antici-
pated, although some of these may be
quite sanguinary. The Russian scouts
are keeping in constant touch with the
enemy and thus far the minor shifting
of the enemy's detachments west of
the Tayang river and northwaTd of
Moi Ting Ling are considered to be in
the nature of screens.
If the two armies of the Russian
commander-in-chi are trying to work
a force around III the rear of General
Kuroki or are planning a surprise, of
course the fact is sedulously conceal
ed. Uneasiness is displayed at the near
approach of the rainy season, which
will retaId, if not completely stop field
operations, although this plays direct
ly into the Russian hands. The Rus
SLAMS continue to hold New Chwang, 3,
Kai Chou and Tashi Chou until a
move in force is made towards Hal
Cheng with the object of cutting off
the retirement of the force at Kai
Chou, which is sufficient to stand off
an ordinary force of the enemy and
discourage the landing of troops there
or at Hung Yo Chen. The Japanese
are not in force north of Watandian.
apparently there is good warrant for
the belief that General Kuropatkin
has strong line extending south from
Lao Yang and west of Hal Cheng,
protecting an advance upon Kai Chou
and New Chwang.
The Bourse Gazette insists that no
body in Europe knows whether Chin a
will remain neutral to the end of the
war or whethe: two powers, one Jap
an s ally and the other friendly, will
remain neutral during the peace
negotiations.
The Russ says China's entrance into
the conflict would be the signal for an
advance of the Russian forces i'll Cen
trail Asia.
The report circulated by the St
Petersburg correspondent of the Cen
trail News tha5 ten stokers were killed
by an explosion yesterday on board the
Russian battleship Orel at Cronstadt
is absolutely denied.
The Novoe Vremya today prints the
Paris report of last week that Ger

ance between Russia, Germany and

Sale of "Bob" Veal For Turkey

State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Warren, at a conference with his agents
a few days ago. began to lay out new
laws which will help them still furth-
er to rid the State of impure food and
drink. 1t has been discovered that
there are many sales of two and three
day-old calves, which are injurious TO
health. These calves are sold for veal,
and in many cases this meat is substit-
uted for "boned turkey" and other
delicacies. The law now carries with
it only a small fine for this nefarious
traffic, and what is desired is the pro-
hibition of sale of veal under six
weeks old, and TO make an otfense
punishable with imprisonment and
fine.
Another important law to be advocat
ed is the prohibition. of the sale aud
manufacture of what is known as re-
novated butter. The chemists report
that this product is the old, rancid and
putrid butter sweetened. while the
qualification still remains, although
the Objectionable smell and taste is to
a great extent removed. The legisla-
ture is to be asked to stop all traffic
in this unwholesome product.
A standard for milk is also to be
legally established, such not now be-
ing on the statutes.
There is to be stricter law against
the use of preservatives for fresh
meats, it being claimed that fresh
meats cannot be such if they are pre-
served. With the preservatives used,
much dccayed meat is being sold as
fresh, and this is disease breeder.
The department wants a law giving
magistrates and justices of the peace
summary power to imprison and in
flict heavy fines on those trafficking in
impure food products.
Thus far the principal Crusades of
the department have been against the
sale of oleomargarine colored in inn
itation of butter, which is prohibited
by law, and against adulterated liqu-
ors and beers All branches of grocer
les were also thoroughly tested.

RAILROAD CO.'S
RULES ON FIRE

General Supt. A. I. Dice, of the p.
q X. Railway Co, has issued orders
bearing upon fires in and about the
stations and other property OF the com.
pany. Certain rules are set forth
which the employees are supposed TO
carry out to the letter. These relate
to the placing of stoves on metal or
stone or iron bases. the keeping OF
matches in secure tin boxes, having no
sawdust or cotton waste near the fire,
fixing gas Jets so that they cannot be
twisted against any wood work, keep
ing steam pipes sufficient distance
from wood work, using sand to catch
oil droppings and various other pre-
cautionary measures. The order CON
cludes with the reminder that the
ness and neglect Supt. Dice also re p
commeuds that in departments where
"A large number of men are employed a
system OF fire protection be inaugural
ed and each employe be assigned a
certain duty TO perform in this re-
spect so that in case at any time fire
should occur there will be no excite
ment, but a systematic fighting of the
flames. Buckets of water and sand are
to be kept i'll and about the stations,
and are to be inspected not less than
once week to see that they are IN
proper condition. Employees will not
be allowed to smoke in warehouses OF
buildings where any intiammable ma
terials are kept and trainmen are eau,
toned against entering cars with a
lighted lantern, where there are fumes
of gasoline, naphtha or any other in
fammable gas. Cars containing oils OF
other infiammable materials will new
er be coupled next to the engine.
When cars are standing in yards or on
sidings they should always be coupled
SO that they can be pulled out with

HEARST TEN TAKING
INROADS IN OHIO

COLUMBUS. O., May "a The pre-
liminary meetings of the Democratic
State Convention were unusually ami
mated today owing to contests from
the larger conventions involving two
hundred delegates and nine members
of the committee that are selected by
twenty-one congressional districts.
Under what is known rs the John
son rule of the past two years, the
State Central Committee passes on
contests for the temporary organiZa-
tinn Of the convention and for the dis
trict meeting at which members OF the
new State Central Committee and all
committees of the convention are sci
eoted. The State Committee was IN
session during the day hearing the con-
testants preparatory to the district
meetings in the evening.
The convention proper does not con
vene until tomorrow. but its control
was determined at the meetings today
and especially by the selection of mem
bers of the committees at the district
meetings When the holding over State
central committee was selected last
year at the convention that nominated
Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland,
for Governor, it was composed largely
Of Johnson men, ~ but recently this
committee acted so independently that
there was great doubt today as to what
it would do with the unusually large
number of contested seats
At the recent meeting this commit
tee selected +. l.. Starr, of Bryan, for
temporary chairman of the convention
and other Hearst men for temporary
officers, although Mayor Johnson was
opposed to Hearst. Even the two state
committeeman from Cleveland, at a
previous meeting, voted against the
Hearst organization and they were re-
ported today as not in accord with
their old chief.
The anomaly was presented of the
old friends of John r. Mclean, James
Kilbourne and Tom l.. Johnson, the
last three Democratic candidates for
Governor in Ohio, who have never CO.
operated before combining against the
recent organization of Hearst men in
