IT IS THE Calm
BEFORE STORM.
ReVOlutiOniStS Waiting for the Right
Time TO Come.
keep rigid CENSORSHIP.

St. Petersburg, July 26. Rus
sia is calmer today than at any
time since the dissolution of the
Douma. The situation is looked
upon as the calm before the storm.
1t is not expected that the people
will submit quietly to having
their hopes dashed to the ground
which were so recently raised by
their representation in the Douma.
The government is still dominant
through its military backing, and
the reyolutiOnists are inactive
and waiting for the proper time
to begin their campaign against
the government.
Copies of the Viborg address to
the nation are being circulated
through underground channels.
When the entire county knows the
true condition the leaders think it
will be the proper time to strike.
A rigid censorship is still being
maintained over the news con-
corning any military disorders.
1t is impossible to find out the
true conditions that exist in the
interior. The troops that we're
brought here when the Douma was
dissolved are still here. Car
Nicholas is taking advantage of
the quiet to establish a new cabi-
net which will inspire confidence
in the reforms that will be grant
ed in order to head off the i'm
pending storm.

After the GrOcefS Displays and the
Creamery Weights.

DR.. Crumbine, the secretary of
the state board of health has been
getting very busy the last few
months, and has shown himself to
be a working individual, and an
official who believes in doing
things. Recently he found a lit
tie jungle" all our own down at
Wellington, which resulted in an
order to all county commissioners
to inspect local slaughtering
houses and see that they we're in
proper condition, and if not that
way to serve notice on the owners
that they must at once be put in
that condition.
HIS next move was to get after
the grocers, by recommending
that all displays of groceries, es-
peclally fruits, both fresh and
dried, and vegetables, be discon-
tinued. The DR.. says. The dis
plays are not only subject to to
the unspeakable deflation (which
so often occur, but they serve as
catch basins for dust and the
rooSting place for fies." said DR..
Crumbine today. Flies are now
recognized as one of the most
common ways of spreading
disease germs. The spreading of
netting over the displays does
not help much as it does not pro-
tect the food from the dust"
The next move for the secre-
tary was to secure samples of but
ter from every creamery in the
state and he has placed them in the
hand of the state chemists for
analysis. There has been con-
siderable complaint made to the
board to the effect that short
weights in butter and "watered
stock" we're being placed on the
market and the board has decid-
ed to investigate without the
knowledge sof the creamery
managements.
If the secretary keeps on, he
will acquire reputation extend
ing beyond the state line, which
is as good as that he now has
within the state.

INJURED MEN
I. BETTER TODAY

Duncan Mathewson, G. b. Smith
and Bert Casey, the men injured
yesterday afternoon by the turning
over of the engine pulling the
North Coast Limited on the North
ern Pacific line, are much i'm
proved at Sacred Heart hospital to-
day. An examination showed
Casey's leg not broken but his
thigh is badly sprained. G. B.
Smith was cut about the head.
Mathewson, who was cut and badly
scalded, is resting easy. Coroner
Witter, who as physician for the
Northern Pacific, attended the men
yesterday, would not say if he
would make any investigation of
the cause of the wreck, something
that comes within his duties as
coroner.
Japanese section hands are re-
sponsible for the wreck, having
left a switch point unspiked where
a switch was being installed for
the Washington Water Power Co.
When the crew left for lunch they
spiked down the switch points, but
returning ahead Of their foreman,
W. II. Hunt, they pulled up the
spikes preparatory to continuing
the work just before the train
came along.
The engine struck this point,
turned around across the track and
fell over on its side, The cab and
tender did not telescope. which ac-
counts for the escape of the men.

hut the mail car was torn from the
trucks.

IMPROVING

Howard Leuton, the engineeE
who was so seriously injured in
the Great Northern collision near
Hillyard last Thursday night, con-
tinues to improve at Sacred Heart
hospital, where today reports Of
his condition indicate possibility
of recovery.
Coroner Witter, so far as known,
has made no move to investigate
and place the blame for the COLI
sion. Leutons evidence, it is
claimed, will place all blame for
the accident upon railroad officials.
The Great Northern operator at
Hillyard claims that he called the
attention of Leuton to the fact that
train No. 701 had not arrived at
that depot and cautioned him to
avail its arrival. Railroad men say
that it Is possible that Leuton will
be found responsible for the wreck.
They say that all regular passen-
ger or freight trains had right Of
way over Leuton, and that it was
his duty to ascertain where No. 701
was before leaving Hillyard.

S|OETRACK
NEGLECTED

A piece OF sidewalk about SO
feet long has been torn up on
Sprague av. just this side of Cedar
st. for the past two months. and
apparently no effort has been made
to get 1t replaced.
Located just this side of the pub.
lie library and across from the
San Marco flats, this particular
piece of street Is the main artery
for hundreds of people coming
down town from Brownies addition
and passing to and from the library
daily. During the past few weeks
of snowy and rainy weather this
place has been a veritable lake, and
as no ferry has been run, the
luckless pedestrian has been forced
to pick his way as best he could
along the edge of the embank.
ment bordering the street or else
be provided with pair of high
Top rubber boots.
Apparently absolutely no effort
has been made to put in this side
walk, and people are wondering
why.
