luckily extinguished before the flames

center of the press room and rapidly
burned to the roof. w. S. Swenson. one

discovered the blaze, removing the gaso-

The first game was closely contested
for eight innings. when the visitors made
four runs. The home stickers were un.

OFFICIALSBNCOURAGED
DIMINUTION IN NUMBER OF
TYPHOID CASES.

Renewed encouragement was taken by
the health authorities this morning from
the fact that for two days In succession
there has been considerable diminution
In the number Of new cases of typhoid
fever reported. Up to noon today there
were only four cases, the same number re-
ported before noon yesterday. Yesterday
afternoon. after The Stars report closed.
there were four additional cases, making
the record for all of Thursday eight cases.
The four new cases yesterday afternoon
and the four reported this morning make
eight new cases for the twenty-four hours
from noon to noon, this number swelling
the grand total Of cases reported since the
~ of July to 500. Since that time there
have been thirty-nine deaths. and these,
with number of recoveries also recorded,
showed on the health department register
at l O'Clock this afternoon that there were
under treatment within the city 263 persons
suffering from the disease.
The marked drop in cases. however Is re-
garded as only incidental and unless the
ratio of development should for several
more days only equal or fall below the
number of patients entered as discharged
1t cannot be assumed that the maximum Of
the present outbreak has been reached. No
reason for the sudden drop in the number
Of new cases seems more feasible to the
authorities than that the bracing effect Of
the cool weather yesterday and today has
had corresponding good effect upon the
population of the city.
