NO DANGER OF EPIDEMIC
ONLY TWO CASES OF TYPHOID
AMONG THE UNIVERSITY STU.
DENTS AND FACULTY..

The percentage Of university students
suffering with typhoid i. .o5 of i Der
cent OF the total enrolment Of students
and faculty. The data from which this
estimate was made were furnished by
Professor F. s. Jones. chairman Of the
committee on student health.
The Investigations of this committee
nave revealed but one student and one
professor who are suffering with the ty-
phoid.
Professor Jones said this morning that.
In spite Of printed statements, the water
used at the university was absolutely safe,
and that no epidemic existed among the
anxious mothers asking if there is any
danger and requesting him to look par
tlcularly after Willie, as his health is very
delicate. Professor Jones Is mob the only
member Of the faculty to receive such
letters, and many upper cassmen also
have received requests to look after some
freshman friend land send him home as
soon as he gets sick.''
If the students stay close to the uni
versity they will be safe,'' said the pro-
lessor. TESTS taken by the committee
on student health show that both the
spring water furnished for drinking and
the artesian we'll water In the pipes are
chemically safe and free from bacteria.
The tanks are scalded by steam once a
W0SNp 81 LiAClS Is no udIlSSr from colonies
OF bacteria In the tanks themselves"
Who will coach the baseball team? is
the question which is troubling the uni
Versity fans at present. It is generally
understood that the board of control will
settle the question at its meeting to-
morrow. In fact, a committee from the
board has looked into the matter and
has a report ready, but refuses to reveal
it's nature.
1t Is the prevailing opinion that the
choice lies between Ferguson and Cam
eron, and partizanship is very evenly di-
vided Cameron has many friends from
the fact that he Is university man,
While Fergusons work with the st. Paul
pennant- winners draws him much sup.
port. 1t is probable that the board will
take the question Of expense into account
in making It's choice.
While all this talk is on, the baseball
players are getting down to work. The
pitchers cage In the arrnory is busy all
the time, and an encouraging feature of
the situation is the newness Of many of
the faces seen behind the bars. There
is wealth of new material and the can
didates are in earnest. Whoever takes
the job Of working the gophers into shape
will not be able to plead lack of material
If he fails to turn out winning team.

CIVIL SERVICE CHANGE
All Exams VIII Hereafter Be Held at ST.
Paul.

Minneapolis is to be included in the for
nation Of the seventeenth civil service
district of the United States. Headquar-
tiers viii be established in st. Paul under
the direction Of Patrick Maroney, who will
be secretary for the new territory, en-
bracing the Dakotas and Minnesota.
This action is taken as a result of the
recent canvass of the situation by Civil
Service Commissioner Cooley, who spent
several days in the twin cities perfecting
the arrangements. Word was received
from Washington to-day that Mr.. Wanvig,
the local clerk Of the commission would
soon be called upon for the records and pa
pers in his possession. One or more men,
bers of the local postoffice force will be
appointed as auxiliary members OF the
board, to have charge of such
examinations as will be ordered for Min
neapolis.
The plan mas already been tried in some
of the eastern states and has proved sue
cessful. BY its workings the multiple
boards are abolished thruout the districts
and the entire work is centered in the
head office located in some city in the
district.
