aud issued his famous order to To-
cal boards. municipal bodies aud
any one in fact who should dare
interfere with the movement OF
persons or trains. This remarka-
BILE proclamation regulating trade
embodied warnings. and dire
threats sgainsts any who should
defy its mandates. Nearly every
parish and town in the state tame
'ly submitted and the wheels of
commerce are humming-a gate
full sound to the ears of State
Health officers.
Not to be outdone by any traffic
manager or even a stegomyia the
resonrceful promoter of trade re-
lations, evolved a plan to still
further facilitate intercourse by
running trains between infected
points. Fortunately enough for.
all, the railroad company found it
would not PAY" and thus the eff
fort to reinfect infected towns has
fallen through thanks to unprofit-
able conditions and the generous
consideration of the railway man.
agement. DR.. Souchon's brilliant
conception to run trains between
Patterson and Lafayette for in
stance, is set forth in the follow
ing from Colonel Gushing of the
Pacific:
ave are running trains today at
a loss to afford service for nonin-
fected localities. These trains are
earning less than one fourth of
what it costs to run them. 1t
would seem unnecessary to add
that we cannot furnish additional
facilities at increased loss. The
cost of running a small train, with
the exception of the item of fuel.
is just as great as applies to large
train. / have made arrangement
to send freight to infected points
in such way as will not involve
our crews. l do not see any way
to help out those points in psssen-
ger service"
Thus it is that instead of con-
corning itself with conserving the
public health the State Board
seems almost entirely engrossed
in matters of trade and transpor-
tation which most people believe
may we'll be left to the roads them
selves and the Railroad Commits
sion. Th1s has it been that by
ignorance, negligence or criminal
concealment the yellow fever has
infected New Orleans and spread
to many parts of the state, threa-
tening desolation and scourge to
the entire South. If the efforts of
science shall prevent the impend-
ing epidemic, the State Board can
at least claim the honor of afford
ing ample opportunity for demon
STATIONS and practical tests of pre-
ventive measures if not specific
remedies.

In creating a State Board of
Health it is hardly conceivable
the people of Louisiana intended
to constitute tribunal for the re-
,gulation of commerce and the de-
'cision Of all questions affecting
transportation of goods and pas
.sengers, and yet within the past
few weeks the country has wit
messed the remarkable spectacle of
these sworn conservstors of health
assuming practical control of rail
way traffic and local 'communica-
tions. To begin at the beginning,
the Board or rather it's president
DIR. Souchon under the influence
of New Orleans commercial ex-
pansion and upon petition Of the
various exchanges and other CON-
rmercia1 bodies, relaxed the qua
rantine at the mouth of the Mis-
'sissippi and allowed vessels from
Panama and Central America
ports to enter without any deten-
'tion at all. Says the Picsyune of
recent date:
"Some two months ago our city
was enjoying great activity IN
Nrade. The financial institutions
were making great additions to
the facilities for their important
operation, and new banks were
organizing. Some of our bnsisDss
men dealing with the Isthmus of
Panama and other tropical coun-
tries claimed that quarantine re-
'strictions were too severe, and that
their commerce suffered thereby.
Voicing these complaints, the
Progressive Union of this city
ISSUED a statement, or proclama-
tion, urging liberty and hberslity
in the trade with the expression,
1.-The Open Door" was called into
reqHisition. and the demand for
the opening of the door to tropical
commerce was passed from mouth
to mouth approvingly. The theme
was taken up by some of the in
fuential press of the city and was
vigorously advocated, and the re-
taxing of restrictions in the pre-
misses was urgently pressed on
many sides.
There is no question that at the
time mentioned the Importance of
guarding this city was not viewed
by the citizens themselves with
the strict severity that now ami
mates the people of New Orleans,
and whether the state of public
opinion prevailing in business cir
Giles some two or three months ago
had any effect in relaxing the
stringency Of quarantine is not for
moment pretended here, but the
door apparently al that time could
not have been opened too wide to
meet what were then the demands
of commerce, aud all who then de.
sired such on opening of the doors
of trade have no right to-day to
blame anybody for what has taken
place"
Having succeeded so we'll in
catching foreign trade and getting
yellow fever thrown in for la

SALE OF H LANDS.

Arrangements have been made
by the State Board of University
and School Lands for general ad-
vertising of land sales to take place
in the state this fall. The list OF
lands to be sold, the place at which
the sales will be made and the
dates have been prepared by the
state land department, and adver-
tisement will be made through the
advertising departments of the
Great Northern and Northern Pa
cifc roads and in eastern farm
journals having a large circulation
among prospective buyers of land
for farming. By this means, the
Board of University and School
Lands believes there will be keener
competition at the sales and better
prices. 1t has been reported in
some land sales in the state that a
quiet agreement among local bid
ders has resulted in keeping the
price of lands down a little, altho
the records show that an average
of over $14 an acre has been OBJ
tanned for lands recently sold.
Nevertheless, the Board believes it
to be good public policy to give
the widest possible publicity to the
matter of land sales.
The terms offered by the state
are advantageous to buyers, as only
a fifth payment down is required,
and the remainder of the purchase
price is extended over twenty years
at a low rate Of interest. BY adj
vertising these sales among eastern
buyers, there should be an increased
demand for land, more spirited
bidding and better returns for the
state. The Great Northern and
Northern Pacific roads will CO.
operate with the state by present
ing the fact of the land sales with
dates and places, in all the medi-
ums in which they carry advertis-
ing, and this should help to bring
out additional buyers.-Bismarck
Tribune.

A number of towns throughout
the state are interested in the or
ganization of bands. Washburn
is very fortunate in having as good
a band organization as can be
found in the state. The members
take a deep interest in the organi-
zation and meet regularly for prac-
tice. The other afternoon the
boys gave an open airconcert which
was heartily appreciated. It re-
minded us of the days when we
used to "toot" a horn and played
in the capital city on state occa-
ssions. If practice makes perfect,
the organization known as the
Washburn Brass Band will occupy
a front seat.

The Fargo Forum says:-A great
purpose is a business purpose to
keep your ad before the public eye.
The retiring or lf%-effacing man
has no business to be in business.
The business mans name must be
familiar and on everyone's lip, and
that is only acquired by publicity.
Not that it is essential to his salts
faction or happiness, but it is es-
sential that his business may grow
and increase. There has never
been a successful business man in
trade that did not advertise or push
his name to the front. The Jews,
who cut short financial corners, are
excellent advertisers for their bus
mess, and if they scrimp it is on
other lines. The business men of
Lisbon and the county-like sue
cessful merchants everywhere
should push themselves and their
business-npt to benefit the printer
but for their own personal advant-
age and these efforts should be con-
tinuous, not for a day or a 4splurge
"a sky rocket trial to be forgotten
but as long as their business is
worth looking after. There are a
few men or firms in nearly every
town who will not advertise because
they do not always get immediate
returns, forgetting that they must
make themselves and their business
familiar first and then follow it up
with a judicious and attractive pre-
sentation of business reasons for
trading with them. There is no
form Of advertising, either for local
or country trade that equals the
country newspaper. Just count up
the non-advertisers in every city,
and you will find them lacking in
public spirit and non-progressive.
Success is impossible to them, for
self-imposed condition will not ad-
nit It.

John Rooney, after a fight ex-
tending through the courts of the
state and United States for three
years, paid the full penalty of the
law in the penitentiary last Tues
day morning. The hanging was
conducted within the walls of the
state penitentiary and was devoid
of all the attendant excitement and
heroism which attended executions
under. the old law. The LEADER
was one of the first papers in the
state to advocate the present law;
believing that under the old law
the executions conducted in the
old way tended to arouse a morbid
curiosity and to make a hero out
aSof the criminal in the eyes ola few.
This is now changed. The prisoner
lis sentenced aid taken to the pen
itentiary to await the carrying out
ssof the laws demands. The locality
lin which the crime was committed
forgets and the life of the prisoner
within the walls Of the penitentiary
Sis as q sealed book. The present
Jaw provides for q limited number
Ssof witnesses. Rooney had a dread
sgoof being hangedin the penitentiary
and in his last speech claimed that
NE was innocent Of the killing Of
Sweet in Fargo three years ago.

Professor Won Bchring.

cd to everybody, as he has already
done TO DR. RouX and Professor
Metchnikoff, of the Pasteur Insti-
tute, and will leave it to specialists to
apply 1t, without, however, disclosing
the elements. Professor Won Behring
expressly states that he was misrep-
resented as saying that the motive
for his keeping secret the formula of
his remedy was in order to profit
pecuniarily by it. Such an idea"
declares Professor Won Behring, lis
absolutely without foundation. 1t
would be premature and it would be
the cause of untold mischief were |
now TO disclose the formula of the
''T. c." which has not yet been ex-
perimented with in the case of hui
man beings, but only with lower ami
mails.
The younger physicians and scien-
lists are enthusiastic in their convic-
tions that the German professor will
fulfill the predictions made in be-
half of the TIC" Doctor Albert Ro-
bin believes that "a portion at least
of Professor Won Behring's remedy
comes from the milk of cows render
ed immune against tuberculosis by
means of long treatment in an arti-
fetal culture medium"
In regard to the prevention of tu-
berculosis, two distinct currents of
opinion manifested themselves in the
congress-the German idea of maxi
ing the sanatorium almost the eXclu-
sive weapon against the malady, and
the French plan, based upon pro-
phylactic methods of preservation
by means of healthful dwellings, sa-
lubrious schools and wholesome con-
ditions of life. The trend of feeling
in the congress was that, although
the sanatorium remains for we'll to
do classes the best means of treat
ment, yet the expense of organizing
and maintaining these establish
ments is too great, and the same
amount of money might be more eff
fectively expended in other ways. 1t
is with this view that NJ. Cassimir
Perier and M. Leon Bourgeois sub
mitted to the congress a resolution,
which was unanimously adopted,
urging the legislative bodies of all
countries to authorize the sanitary
boards of cities of more than 10000
inhabitants to arbitrarily appropriate
dwelling houses or buildings that in
the unanimous opinion of the boards
are dangerous to the health of the
inmates.

Cody's Horses All Killed

Spread OF Disease

All the horses belonging to the
Wild West show of Colonel William
F. Cody were killed at Marseilles,
France, last Thursday. Although
the government veterinaries had
certified that CHAMBERS had been en-
tirely eradicated from the stud, Col.
Cody and his partner, James A.
Bailey, decided on the radical meas
ure in order to ally the fears Of the
farmers regarding the spread of the
disease. The saddles, brides and
other articles of the equipment, as
we'll as the clothing of the stable
men, were burned and the railroad
cars belonging to the show disin-
fected. Colonel Cody is now in
the United States engaged in pur-
chasing a fresh stud.

The puffer or swell fish has the
power to distend itself with air into
the shape of "A globe. japanese div
ing in the Hawaiian Islands make of
the skin of the big puffer found in
Hawaiian waters an odd and gro
tesque lantern. When the skin of the
big puffer has been first removed,
while it is still soft, it is stuffed out
to its full size, in globe shape, and
so left to dry. The skin is not much
thicker than paper and translucent,
brown on the upper part and gray
below. The fins are preserved and
dried sticking out from the fish, the
tail being perked up at an angle. A
circular opening is made in the back
of this distended fish skin, through
which the light can be placed, and
in which is set horizontally hoop or
rim by which the lantern can be
suspended. Such lantern made OF
a big puffers skin may be a foot in
diameter crosswise and fifteen inches
in length.
