TEN TOWNS BURNED
TO PREVENT PLAGUE.
Mexico Takes Drastic Steps to
Stamp Out Yellow Fever.

Galveston, Tex, July 15.-Dr. Fl.
j. Cellar, Of the United States Marine
Hospital Service, who has just ar
rived here from the Isthmus OF
Tehuantepec, states that along the
line of the Vera Cruz and Pacific Rail-
road no less than ten towns and VII
lagos have been burned to the ground
and rebuilt In order to stamp out
possible lurking Of yellow ievergerms
and toput the inhabitants on aclean
footing, with a fresh start. Thecost
has been borne by the Mexican Gov
eminent.
"While this section OF Mexico, par
ticularly the Isthmus oiTehuantepec,
has for years been regarded as the
Injected zone OF Mexico" said DR..
Cellar, conditions there for some
time past do not warrant that repu-
tation In the least. In fact, l regard
Il as the cleanest and most sanitary
district in the world.
CASE WITHOUT PARALLEL
81 know OF no place where such
precautions are taken to preventyel
low fever from once getting q start.
IL by chance person does contract
the disease, such steps areimmediate-
ly taken as to effectuslly prevent any
spread.
"On all passenger trains plying In
that country a health officer, with
power OF a police official, goes with
the train from destination to desti-
nation. He inspects passengers who
may get on at stations along the
lines. He inquiries into their health,
where they are from, their destina-
tion and anything that might be Of
assistance in getting hold Of persons
suffering from symptoms of iniec.
tious diseases.
STRENUOUS PRECAUTIONS TAKEN.
I'll a person Is found who shows a
trace OF fever an examination is i'm
mediately made. To be on the sale
side, that passenger Is taken from
the train at the next station and
isolated until the fever develops one
way or another. It Is true, this
works a hardship on some, butitpro-
tects the health of the majority, and
has done more to put the situation
we'll in hand than any other one
thing"

William Kerns finished threshing his
crop of beans last week, using his

bushels. He will pick them all over
by hand the coming winter. The
machines done the work well after it
was properly adjusted.
Some of the young. people had a
dance at the Kerns store last Wednes-
day night and the church people were
holding prayer meeting across the
street. During the night some of the
young fellows rang the church bell.
which frightened a number of people.
The bell is never rung at an unusual
hour unless their is trouble or fire in
the neighborhood. 1t is to be hoped
the trick will not be repeated.
Rev. W. S. Emery of North Man,
kato preached an able sermon at the
Kerns church last Sunday morning.

an abzle sermon The text was Cor.
1911, "When l was child l spake
as child, l understood as child,
thought as child, but when | be-
came man / put away childish
things" The drift Of the discourse
was that Paul did not attain to man
hood until after his conversion. 1t
was story plea for the young who
desired true manhood or womanhood
to accept Jesus Christ. Rev. Emery is
a strong advocate of the federation of
churches and thought the time was
coming when the small churches would
be consolidated. Mr.. Emery was en-
tertained at the home of William Ii.

HE FOUGHT HIS HELPERS
MAN WHO SHOT SELF ON GREAT
WESTERN TRAIN.
Gave the Name Of William Fay, Hur-
on, s. D.; It Is Said Now That
He Will Recover.

From Saturdays Dailv
The Rochester Post and Record gives
additional particulars of the attempt
ed suicide of stranger on Great
Western train, mention of which was
made in The Free Press last evening:
A passenger on the Chicago Great
Western leaving here at $40, shot
himself about two inches below the
heart Thursday afternoon, just as
the train was pulling into Pine Island.
He was sitting across the aisle from
L. J. Slade of this city, who got on the
train at Rochester at the same time he
did, both being in the smoker. He i'm
mediately became unconscious, remain
ing so about three minutes. Upon
regaining consciousness, the conductor
asked his name, which he gave as
William Fay from Huron, S. ID. When
the train reached the station, he was
taken in bus to the Pine Island
| hotel, and attended by two doctors of
that place. He objected strenuously
to being taken, and fought to the ut
most to prevent going to the hotel
4
| The revolver was brand new one
and in his pocket was box of cart
ridges, from which but two had been
taken, one being found in the revolver
snapped, and the other empty, showing
that the trigger had been pulled twice
Mr.. Slade Immediately grasped him
after hearing the shot, and asked him
if it was an accident, but received nc
reply. Later, in answer to a similar
query ne did state that it was acct
dental, but those present seem to look
upon it as peculiar accident, to say
the least.
DIR. Hill of Pine Island, with the as.
sistance from others, probed for the
bullet and extracted it, and it is be
lieved that he will recover.
His ticket read from Rochester tc
Minneapolis. Conductor Cardle was
in charge of the train, and did every
thing possible under the circumstance:
to aid the unfortunate man.

Mr.. Welsh, Who Just Served Term
In the Reformatory.

Mr.. Welsh arrived in the city direct
from the state reformatory a couple of
days ago, having just received his dis
charge after serving three years there.
He was arrested for passing forged
check at Lake Crystal, and sentenced
to the reformatory. His downfall was
due to opium, and he was in bad
shape when arrested. Now, on the
other hand, he is looking fine and no
one would suspect that he ever did a
crooked act in his life, to judge from
his general appearance. He left for
Sioux Falls, S. d., where he eX-
poets to 90 to work. If he will leave

living down his indiscretion and max

ASKED TO BE GUARDIAN
John Klein Files Petition For Hen
rietta Zeioner.

John Klein today filed petition
asking the probate court to appoint
him guardian for Mrs. Henrietta Zeig-
ner, claiming that she is getting old
and incapable of handling her, prop
erty and is wasting it. The prop
erty consists of $500 of personal prop
erty and some real estate. The pc
titioner is the next friend, there being
no next of kin.
Mrs. Zeigner has had varied
career in Mankato, especially during
the past few years, and her name has
been in print quite frequently. Her
matrimonial ventures in particular
brought her into the lime light.
