Woman Among The victims.

LaPorte, Ind, May 19.-The autopsy
held on the remains of the seven un.l
identified dead exhumed from MA
Guinness private burial ground wee
completed last evening and revealed tAB
astounding fact that one of the seven
was a female. This has aroused new
interest in the story Of Emil Greening
Of Oklahoma City, Okla, who was en-
ployed by Mrs Guinness in the fall OF
1904.
Greening worked for Mrs Guinness
at the time that Jennie Olsen disap-
peared and his story was to the eff
feet that on certain day in Septem-
ber man and woman came to the
house and that night Mrs. Guinness
asked Greening to sleep in the barn.

the professor and his wife from the
Los Angeles college which Jennie was
to attend, would spend the night ~
the house and would require Green

ing saw nothing Of Jennie nor the man
and woman and was informed by ME-.
Guinness that they had left on an early
train, taking Jennie along. This body
which is now declared to be that Of =
woman. was taken from the same hole
as was that of Jennie Olsen. and In
that hole also were the body Of Ole
Budsbery Of lola, Wis, and the re-
mains Of a male person.
The theory now advanced fs that
Mrs. Guinness may have on the same
night, the night that Greening slept 70

Olsen, but also the man and woman

to public funerals of persons dying
from diseases considered by the laity
as being contagious, it is deemed ad
visable at this time to offer some COM
ment on the contagiousness of Cereb.
70 Spinal Meningitis, as we'll as the
attitude of the City board of health in
reference to the same. While the
disease is characterized by the term
"epide mic" it has furnished few proofs
of being contagious. A careful study
of 800 cases of the disease was made
by special commission appointed by
the New York board of health, and
the facts added. as the result, do not
greatly strengthen the claim made by
many that it is contagious.
"The observation OF these cases
covered period Of six months, and
their deductions, while suggesting
the possibility of contagion are far
short OF proof and are no more con-
vincing than those offered for the
contagiousness of pneumonia. One
could readily accumulate m u b
stronger evidence of the same sort to
prove that typhoid fever is contagi.
Gus. The general opinion among ply
sicians, of this latter disease, is that it
is not contagious, contact with ty-
phoid cases only multiplying to a
small degree, the chances for direct
transfer of the germ Of typhoid.
I'm comforting with the secretary
of the state beard of health, as to the
advisability of public funerals in these
cases it was learned that the matter is
left entirely to the discretion OF the
local board of health. Hereafter, the
city board of health will allow no
public funeral of persons dying of
disease, the contagiousness of which
is doubtful, without first securing
permit from the local health officer.
"In reference to measles the board
realizes that many cases do not have
the attendance OF physician and
consequently 1t is hard to carry out
system of quarantine. To overcome
this we ask the parents to report all
cases directly to the health officer.
Measles is very contagious disease,
and unless proper precautions are
taken, delicate children are often ex-
posed and these cases make up the
percentage of fatalities.

COUNTRY HIGHWAYS.
Value of Good Roads and Cost
of Poor Ones.
WHAT THE FARMER LOSES.

No Tax So Great as Unimproved
Highways, Which Drive People to
the City, Wear Out the Horses arlt.
Decrease Value of Property.
In an address on the improvement
of country highways at good roads
convention speaker said:
The Improvement of country roads is
chiefly an economical question, relat-
Ing principally to the waste of effort
in money, time and energy in hauling
over good ones, the initial cost of i'm
proving roads and the difference in the
cost of maintaining good and bad
ones.
good road economies time and
force IN transportation between the
farms and the market, reduces wear
on horses, harness and vehicles, in
creaSes the value of real estate con-
tiguous to the roads and brings prices
for farm products, because they can
be marketed at less expense. Rural
homes are sought after along good
roads. Wagon highways are the great
est arteries of commerce. Civilization
is judged by the condition of the roads.
No tax Is as great on the taxpayer as
bad roads. A bad road is a heavy tax
on those who use it, and the worse the
road the heavier the tax Rad roads
cause decay of agriculture. They
impose the greatest of all burdens on
the farmer. The roads cause people
to gather in the cities. Bad roads
wear out the horses very rapidly, thus
detracting very largely from the prof
Its of the farm.

wants good roads so that lie may bring
his produce to market and his family

from irate fathers and brothers of a
score of fair bathing maids since the
latter proudly appeared on the beach
today with tattoo marks on their fair
arms n shoulders.
Spectators perched in beach chairs
gasped when they saw the first girl
swing up the beach bearing on her
rounded upper arm an entwined anchor
and cable, and the surprise became a
shock when it vas discovered that
other beach maidens had adopted the
fad of having their arms marked with
various devices.
AT first glance it was supposed that
the marks, which ranged from the
anchor to hearts pierced with arrows,
were merely painted on, but when ii
vas discovered that the marks were
needed in and practically indelible
there was a general stampede among
parents to discover the artist.
Several doting fathers began at once

RACE WAR RACES
IN LOUISIANA TOWN

Natalbany, La. July 25.-Daylight
today found this town divided into two
armed camps, with race hatred strain
ed to a dangerous pitch. During the
night preparations were made for a
race war of threatening proportions,
but the passage Of night without actual
fighting is believed to have averted
further danger.
One of the hostile camps consisted
of 500 Italians and other foreigners
who yesterday moved out of their
homes here and in the vicinity in fear
of reprisals by Americans for wound
ing Walter Simmons on Tuesday and
subsequent shooting between Ameri-
cans and Italians yesterday. Some for
eigners claimed to nave been warned
to leave that section of the country.
The opposing camp is made up of
about rs residents of NataIbany, und-
'er the command OF Sheriff Saal. Early
last night an italian came into the
town and said the men at his country
mems camp intended to attack and
wipe u the town" before morning.
Authorities believe they have the sit
uation under control.
