POOR OLD MAN KNOCKED OUT ENTIRELY BY
20 YEARS OF "1AChlNc'

81 vas bachelor for 81 years undt
my belly ISIS now worm all to mud
dings," was the statement made to
George Collins, chairman of the
county commissioners, this morning
by Jim Reidmeir, age 60, who was
sick with stomach complaint and
wanted medical attention.
Since the big fire of 1889 Reid
meir has patched in shack in
Peaceful valley, which he rented for
81 month from Leroy Waller.
Commissioners asked the German
how he ever stood his own cooking
so long and wondered why he
hadn't ruined his stomach earlier in
his life.
He is a wizened bit of man,
weighing not more than 80 pounds.
He was dirty, weak and his face
looked like parchment. His shack
is located at TIA Main av. w. G..
Morrison, county physician, will be
sent to examine the German and
see If he is a subject for attention
by the county.
Reidmeier is somewhat of a
character. When asked il he had
any money he said he had so cents
once for weeks. He volunteered
the information that he used to
keep money in the bank, but now
he hides 1t.
He came to America "a years
ago from Germany. Two years aft
err his arrival he and his wife sepa-
rated. Soon after that he came to
Spokane and after the fire located
in the shack now occupied by him.
He has no trade, but works at odd
jobs when he can He has been
unable to work for months. but
said he was too proud to apply
for aid before.
The experiment of trying to live
on nothing to eat is most likely
what ails his stomach. A course
of square meals is what he seems
to need.

take COURSE
IN CONTAGIOUS DISEASE
DphtherIa and Smallpox Sufferers Herded 70.
gethsr in city's cramped Isolation Hospital.

Health Of1cer Grleve astounded
the council last night by declaring
that on account Of crowded Tndi-
tions at the isolation hospital last
winter and this spring smallpox
and diphtheria patients had been
housed together. causing those pa
tients to catch both diseases. From
diphtheria the patients usually
went through severe seiges of
smallpox before being finally re-
leased.
This declaration followed a plea
for better hospital facilities, includ-
ing change of site to John Lang's
10-acre tract In the bend of the
river northwest, which he offers the
city for $4,000, and for $500 addi-
ton for the erection of proper
buildings.
The physician urged the council
to favor the removal of the hos
pital partly because little children
had to be crowded in at the present
one and lay in hot tents, which was
dangerous to their lives. He said
the councilmen's children and his
own might be taken out there at
any time.
Drs. N. M. Baker and William H.
Hall also addressed the Council. DR.
Hall said that regarding the Prom
Use of streetcar companies to fur
nish car for the transportation OF
patients, the board had not been
made such a proposition, but would
probably have to look after the
transportation itself.
E. A. Cooney spoke in favor Of
the removal on behalf of people Of
the Fourth ward.

Special Correspondence to The Press.
PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE declaration
Of holy war such as has just
broken out in Casa Blanca, MorOc-
CO, with the murder and torture of
a number of Christians, or Nazar-
enes, as the Mohammedans de.
risively call the whites, is a Pc
riodical event in northern Africa.
1t is always attended with fanati-
cal orgies of the widest kind, and
the life of Christian falling into
the hands Of the religious crazed
mob Is not worth a straw. Death
is not enough either, and the most
atrocious indignities are visited
upon the bodies of the "infidel."
Travellers who have witnessed
the beginnings of holy wars" say
that the scenes attending them are
weird and thrilling. The white
robed fanatics, with coal black
faces, blazing eyes and barred, white
teeth, dash hither and thither
through the narrow streets, some
times shrieking curses at Christians
and their religion, changing to a
chant of passages from the koran
and finally throwing themselves to
the ground with their faces to the
east and praying to Allah and Mo-
manned, his prophet.
In these frenzies there is no deed
that they will not perform; a holy
war enthusiast would alone Charge
a regiment of white soldiers and
die with a smile of joyous happi.
ness.
And such was the outbreak this
week at Casa Blanca, which has
Mortified the world.

The council last night ordered
the board OF public works to enter
into immediate negotiations with
the Washington Water Power Co.
for a renewal of it's lighting con-
tract with the city. The old con-
tract expires Aug. 81.
Councilman N. s. Pratt, on whose
suggestion the matter was taken up,
favor a l year contract instead of
5 as before. Other councilmen who
favor the / year limit are Laumer,
Gray, Phillips and Baldwin.
During the past s years the w.
w. p. has charged "a apiece for arc
lights and agreed to keep each l
burning every night. In many In
stances they go out, but there Is
nothing in the old contract penaliz-
ing the company for this. The
lighting bill costs the city approx
mately 100000 per year. which Is
practically clear gain for the com
pany.
1t was suggested today that the
company will condescend to submit
two popositions-One for year at
IS per arc light and l for years at
the old rate. The board of public
works favors a 5-year contract with
the privilege Of cancellation on 81
