COLON BACILLUS
TAKES FLIGHT
GERM NOT FOUND IN SOME CITY
WATER MAINS.
In Others He Is Making Himself
scarceNo Deaths from Typhoid
Reported to Health Department To-
day-seven New Cases, However,
Are Reported.

Recent archaeological tests Of East
Side water show that the contamina-
ton caused by water from the East
Side pumping station is being rapidly
removed. Reports submitted to Health
Commissioner p. M. Hall this morn
ing by DR.. j. Frank Corbett,s city
bacteria ogist, indicate that the dan
gerous colon bacillt have disappeared
from the mains in the vicinity OF the
Sheridan and futile schools. The
sample from the Sidney Pratt school
was imperfectly taken, and another
one will be required to give the water
clear bill. A few colon bacilli were
found at Webster school. Several sam
pies taken near the East Side station,
which has been closed since Feb. 10,
reveal that that part Of the city is
also free from contamination and the
reservoir water has now replaced the
dangerous East Side station water.
The situation at Webster school
will receive special study, and, If pos
sible, the mains in that section will
receive another thoro flushing.
Water has been turned into the
Twentieth avenue N main and the
East Side is thus supplied with an adj
ditional quantity of reservoir water.
This does not mean that the typhoid
epidemic will be suppressed at once,
as contaminated wells are a great
source Of infection.
No deaths from typhoid were re-
ported to the health department. to-
day, but there have been six thus far
this month and this number is much
larger than the health officials care to
see. Seven new cases were reported
this morning, but as the period Of in
cubation in typhoid is from three to
four weeks, the new cases originated
when the conditions were worse than
they appear to be at present.

Mr.. Hay is not enthusiastic over this

FOUNTAINS FOR FID0
JOHN BURNS WANTS TO INSTALL
PUBLIC WATER TROUGHS FOR
DOGS AT HIS OWN EXPENSE.

John Burns Of 2510 Fillmore street
NE is a friend of the dog. Mr.. Burns
has observed with regret for some
time that while provision has been
made for furnishing drinking water
to horses at public fountains, no ar
rangement has been provided by which
the thirsty Fido may wet his throat
on hot summer day. Fidos thirst
unqualified is supposed in many in
stances to have led to the develop
ment of rabies.
This is bad thing for Fido and
for the public, and out of considera-
ton for both Mr.. Burns proposes to
provide drinking places for the dogs
in connection with the horse foun-
tains. He will ask the city council
for permission, acting under the SUI
pervision of the water department., to
put an attachment under each one of
the forty three horse troughs in the
city thru which the overflow may be
turned and made to supply the dogs
with water without extra expense.
Mr.. Burns proposes to take care OF
the expense himself. He has been
assured of assistance by sympathetic
plumbers, and all he wants is per-
mission to make the improvement.

BOLD HOLD UP
OF STREET CAR.
Stray Horse Balks on Track and
Delayed Traffic for Twenty
five Minutes.

There was a bold hold-up Of a
street car at the intersection of Chi
cago avenue and Fifteen street this
morning at o'clock.
A horse was the criminal. The ami
NAL was attached to a grocer's, de-
livery wagon, and, dragging it's hitch
ing weight, deliberately planted itself
directly in the path of an eighth ave-
nue. car. It deflantly faced the ap-
preaching car and held its ground,
altho the car approached within five
his box and attempted to lead the
horse off the track. 1t baked and
kicked. The car was held for about
twenty-five minutes and the horse
baffled the skill Of the volunteer train
ers, who blew in one ear and stuffed
the other full of mud.
Finally an urchin with a bit of be-
grimed candy tempted the animal to
the curb.

PRAISES PHlLHARMONICS
MURIEL FOSTER SAYS SHE HAS
SELDOM HEARD AMATEURS
SING WITH SUCH EXPRESSION.

II am delighted in your people;
they are so awfully quick, do every
thing so easily and have such a de-
lightful sense of humor,' said Miss
Muriel Foster at the West hotel this
morning.
The famous English contralto had
just finished a successful rehearsal with
the Philharmonic club, and after sing
ing all her numbers in Samson and
Delilah," was fresh and bright.
Miss Foster is a fine type of the
Englishwoman,, tall. broad OF shout

5ular features. ss
IT was more than delighted at the
quality of the chorus" she said. I
have seldom, heard amateurs sing with
such expression as they did this morn
ing, and am sure the concert to-
night will be a great success"
This is my first visit to America
she added, and Minneapolis is the
first city we have visited; so you see,
we haven't quite got our land legs
on yet. But we think it all delight
full, except that you haven't any snow,
and we are very sorry for that. We
had hoped to see snow.

CARRYING The SEWER FUND
COUNCIL COMMITTEE SPENDS
DAY APPORTIoNING MONEY
AMONG TWELVE OF THE CTTY,s
WARDS.

The council committee on sewers has
put in the day striving to make an equit
able division Of the sewer fund among the
wards. There is available for sewers this
year about S250,O0O, including $125,000 from
the bond sale. The sewers ordered last
year, but not completed will cost $134 ,000
1t was decided that last years list should
stand. There thus remains $116,000 for
new work and of this only 100000 can come
from the permanent Improvement fund to
pay for the citys proportion. This means
that only small sewers for which the great t.
er portion of the cost comes from assess
ments will be constructed.
On last years list are. the sewers on

THEIR OPINIONS DIFFER
Contractors and Officials Discuss Time
Of Completing Postoffice Work.

r, B . L . { . /. =
There is a difference of opinion be-
tween the contractors and some of the
government officials as to the time
when the repairs of the federal build
ing will be completed. The contrac-
tors say to-day that the work, except
cleaning the outside of the building,
will be done by March Is, the time
called for in the contract. Some of
the officials express a belief that the
workmen will not be thru before
June Is.
The contractors say that the clean
ing Of the building cannot be under
taken before April 1 on account of
the weather. The scaffolding is al
most down, and the work Of cleaning
the stonework will be done from
swinging scaffolds. ~ss
The contract carries a penalty of
$50 for every day used by the con-
tractors after the stipulated date.

TO DESIGNATE PAYING
ALDERMEN WILL DECIDE TO-

NEW WORK SHALL BE DONE.

Tomorrow meeting of the council

important of the year. There is in the

season, leaving .s25O,O0O for new work.
Petitions now before the council call for
245,000 square yards Of paving and every
foot of it is needed. At an average of 81
per square yard it will take close to a
half million dollars to do all the work, and
at that no petitions have been received for
several streets that sadly need paving

BETTER WATER SUPPLY
Commercial Club Thinks It's Time to
Regin Educating Public.

Commercial club committees are
working on two big public questions.
One is music for the parkrs this sum-
mer and the other is better water
supply. The club believes that the
public should be educated to know
that better distribution Is absolutely
necessary for the city, and that it will
cost money, and that the citizens will
have to stand for it. Whether this
will be enlarged facilities at the resor-
yoir, a, filtration plant, or other sources
of supply is yet undecided.
