Horses Coming Sunday.

President Fred A. Miller returned
late yesterday afternoon from Fort
Collins, where he had been to attend
the Larimer county fair and to interest
the horsemen there in the fair here
next week. He was accompanied by
Secretary C. F. Kuster and Fred Came
ron, the latter of whom remained ov-
er for another day. Mr.. Miller says
that at least two carloads of horses
will arrive in the city tomorrow night
for the fair and races, and it is not
certain that three carloads will not
come. The horsemen were inclined to
cut out the fair here, on account OF
railroad rates, but the presence OF
President Miller and Secretary Kus-
ter helped matters and the strings
coming represent some of the best
horses shown at Fort Collins. The
races will be of a very rapid kind here,
this track being one of the fastest half
mile tracks in the west.

Nerve Although Turned Pale.

Weisbaden, Ger, Sept. 15.-Found
with a bomb, a revolver and a dagger,
a Russian student named Rosenberg

to assassinate Count White, former
Russian minister. Only prompt action
by detectives saved White.
Made at Watering Place.
The attack was made at Soden, a
watering place neal here, where White
had gone to drink the waters. As
White seized the student before he
a hotel Rosenberg made the attack.
Detectives Too Quick.
Detectives who were guarding NJ,
Wittee seized the student before he

weapons. The would-be assassin was
overpowered and taken to Jail. White

Board of HeaIth-Mothers Greatly
Excited in New York.

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 15.-That
the autumnal increase in the number
of typhoid cases is caused by the open
ing of the oyster season is the startling
statement advanced by DR.. Herbert b.
Pease of the New York state board Of
health. Expert authorities agree that
the sudden swelling of the list of ty-
phod cases during September is direct
ly due to the fact that at that time peo-
pie begin to eat raw oysters, muscles
and other shell fish," the doctor said.
Fattened on Sewage.
Several extensive epidemics have
been definitely traced to the eating of
oysters which had been fattened at
the mouths of sewers or in other badly
polluted waters"
