IMPURE WATER

Typhoid in nearly every case, as
well as malaria, dysentery and the
other hot weather complaints, that
so often end fatally, has been
traced to impure water.
Quite often people think be-
cause to the naked eye the water
seems clear that it is all right,
when if they either knew it's
source or looked at it through a
magnifying glass they would see
that it contained thousands of mi
crobes.
Water is taken from wells
which are often contaminated
from one Of number Of causes.
In the impure water lies the great
cause of typhoid and malarial and
many other ills. Physicians of all
schools claim that a teaspoonful Of

Speaking to t he ournal repre-
sentative today about his ideas Of
state development, Mr.. Cole referred to
the policy Of the federal government
In settling the west as one Of great lib
erality. He put the matter in rather a
povel form when he said: Since
Abraham Lincoln signed the homestead
law, IN his first term az president, the

to 90,00O,000 acres Of land have been

death. The train record sheet shows

left the city again at $3.50 pm. July 10,
following the murder.
Just before his departure he talked
over. the results Of the ball game that
day with one Of the yard men. On
Monday he was seen uptown watching
the circus parade and appeared at sew
eral points that day after his usual
custom. q '~. ~.
Planning the Tragedy.
For more than week before the
murder Riggs was evidently planning
the details Of his crime, and for a time
seemed detected over something, i
The engineer on the same train with
Riggs was talking with him at Hudson,
Wis, and noticing Riggs distressed ap-
pearance, spoke to him about it and
asked him If he was i'll. 's.--
Riggs replied that he was not i'll, but
that he was in bad trouble, and did not
know how he was going to- get out of 1T.
A few days after that Riggs was again
unusually jolly and the engineer again
spoke Of the trouhlA.
ooh, it 8 all right now,' he said.
"Things are coming my way and / will
soon have things Strengthened out. -
Just what he meant by this reply Is not
known, for he was not known to be in
financial trouble; but had plenty OF
cash on hand.
This statement is taken by some to
mean that there was something back
Of the whole case aside from the desire
for money. Riggs may have wanted the
money badly, but he was in no special
need of it they say.

QUINCY AGROUND;
PASSENGERS SAFE
When searchlight Was Turned
Off, for Relief from Insects,
Craft Went Ashore.

La Crosse, July IA message from
Tr' mpealeau from the Burlington agent
says that all the passengers who were
on board the steamer Quincy, which ran
ashore there last night, were saved

Survivors in Swamp.
For the purpose Of rescuing about
fifty persons who are imprisoned on q
swampy- piece Of ground which they
cannot leave, the steamer Isaac Sta
PIES, q rafter, left La Crosse at 8
Amid a crashing of timbers, with
the boat on its side, the lifeboats
were gotten out, and the passengers,
zoo in number, were taken off.
Good Work by Roustabouts.
Rescue work was effectively done BY
the colored roustabouts Of the craft.
When it became apparent that the boat
would have to be abandoned, the
steamer was forced upon the bank BY
tAe powerful engines, Lne Prov literally
creeping up the steep bank. Tied to a
tree, the burning steamer was held
while the roustabouts took passengers
off the stern in boats. Others jumped off
into the dark and it was not until half
were off that the powerful searehlight
was put in running order, throwing the
scene into bright light.

The string Of rowboats were laid
from the steamer to the shore as far as
they would reach and from the fur.

passengers were obliged to wade ashore
