parts of the CITY. exiting uishing the
electric lights all along Fourth street
northe ast and several ttlor parts OF

ming had to causing fatality was
when it do cended through the roof OF
q residence on Fourth street southeast
occupied by the ia mily of John Manure,
and Slightly burned the Eeck of six

The lightning came amid very heavy
shunder. bolt which shook the ho7se to
its foundations and after grazing the
child $ neck proceeded through several
other rooms in the second story divid-
ing and making its exit in divers
directi ons. leaving broken plastering
and burned wall paper to show its
passage through the building. Inc
mother had jast closed q window
when the bolt des ,endsd, and the
child ran to It's mother to tell her
what had happened him. The wires
with which some pictures were hung
were burned so, that no trace OF
them could be found.

SMALL POX QUARANIIN
1t Will be Abolished the
First Of Next JAM
uary

A resolution adopted by the State
Board Of Health at their Last meeting
does away with quarantine of SMALL.
pox patients in the state Of Minnesota.
and reads as follows:
1T ha ing been established that
smallpox will not spread in . well
vaocinated community, and believing
that all attempts to restrain smallpox
in a com munity not protected by
vaccination. by means of quarantine.
will fail; that quarantine in a we'll
vaccinated community is unnec :ssary
that attempts to control the spread Of
smallpox by means of quarantine is
unscientidc, irrational, expensive and
misleading; that in laying down
strict rules for quarantine Of small.
pox, sanitary authorities are favoring
unscientiflc and illogical methods for
Its control, and are conveying false
ideas as to the safety Of the public,
the Minnesota State Board of Health
advises that after January 4, 1908.
further attempts to control smallpox IN
Minnesota by means of quarantine

J. Il. JOHNSON WINS
Proceedings in Ditch No. II
Held to be Void by
Judge Taylor

TIE decision in the case of g. 3.
John son vs.. Morrison county and A.
D. Harrison and Nels Peterson, which
was brought up in the March term Of
the district court and which was SUBJ
mitted to tho court in briefs, has, been
filed by Judge NJ. D. Taylor with the
Of curt clerk, the county losing the
case.
This case is one that arose as q result
OF the construction of county Ditch
No. IL, which empties into the north
fork Of the Little Elk river and flows
sluggishly shrough what is known as
the big meadow, low Hat lands elevated
slightly above the waters of the river
on which grass grows In abundance.
A ledge OF rock crosses the river below
the meadows forming an obstruction,
backing the waters, and in tina hay
seas IN of 1905. during the heavy
rains, the extra discharge of water
from Ditch No. IL, 1t is alleged,
caused an overflow, damaging and
rendering useless the hay crops Of O.
81. johnson, plaintiff in the case, and
| many other owners # the land in the
big meadow and has continued
| overlooking since then at regular
intervals. From the ledge of rock to
the river is a distance of two and
one half miles in which the fall in
| the stream is considerable and the
current rapid, and if the channel
through the ledge was deepened, the
meadow would be properly drained,
notwithstanding the additional water
from Ditch No. H.
The court holds that the proceedings
for the laying and the establishing
of Ditch No. 10 are void as they are
indefinite and uncertain and the ditch
cannot be located from them, the order
Of the county comm issioners purport.

A GOOD RESULT.

Under the operation of the new
Pure Food Laws, baking powders now
generally bear on the labels q state
nent Of the ingredients. This is OF
utmost Importance because Of the
harmful ingredients used in many
cases.
Royal Baking Powder is. known tc
be the only baking powder made oil
Royal Grape Cream of Tartar. and
this no doubt explains its greatly
increased sale here.
Careful housekeepers> are taking
advantage of the protection which the
Laws afford, and are examining all
the reading matter on the back of
the label before adopting any brand
for use in the home.
When in place of the worcs Cream of
Tartar the words ''alum'' ''alumi-
num- or phosphate of lime appear
among the Ingredients, they heed che
warning and avoid baking powders
containing these substitntes.

The Judge also noted as follows:
THE ditch petition fails TO locate

ditch does not pretend to describe or
locate it but refers to and adopts the
report of the engineer for such loca-

that is given is plat upon which the
ditch il delineated, and which shows
certain section and quarter section
lines. The starting point OF the ditch
is not upon any of these lines and no
measurements or bearings are given
showing its distance or direction from
any kown point. The ditch does not

otherwise the proceedings are void
