OF deaths from heat prostrati0nS are
not so common in small towns, for the
reason tnat the breeZes have better
chance to circulate and the air is
rresher and more vitalizing. But even
in the small towns throughout the
Mississippi valley the summer means
discomfort to many and positive suf-
feriug and possible death to a few.
Not many OF the people can side-step
summer by coming out to the noun
tains, or going to the seashore. Most
OF them are too poor to afford such
luxuries so they have to stay at home
to sweat and swelter. We OF Colorado
are peculiarly fortunate in this
respect and should never grumble
about the condition Of the weather
for it is all right even at its worst. In

Live Stock Market.
Special to THE New ERA.


Kansas City Stock Yards, JuDel-.
lhe waters in the Kaw river reached
the highest point last week on Thurs.
DAY morning at Kansas City. and had
receded almost three feet up to Satur.
DAY morning, when general rains over
The kaw and Missouri water sheds
started another rise which has cul-
minated today with a stage Of 2yt feet
above low water mark in the Kaw at
the stock yards, believed to be the
crest OF the present rise. This stage
Is eight feet below the big food Of
1903. The damage to the stock wards
ana packing houses at Kansas City
Will practically be confined TO the loss
account of suspension II business. As
soon as the waters subside all the
facilities at the stock yards now over
flowed can be put IN condition for use
within day or two, as but little
physical damage has been done. The
same conditions rule In all the pack
ing houses. The Armour Packing
Company has succeeded In keeping
the water out OF their plant complete
ly, even from their cellars, aud are
anxious TO begin killing all kinds OF
live stock as soon as 1t can be secured

let for live stock here when business
opens up again. or course IL is i'm.
possible to forecast the date of the
resumption OF business in the yards.
but IL Is almost certain that the rivers
will begin to fall today, and that
stock can be handled here by the mid
die or last Of this week. A portion Of
the quarantine yards are on lower
ground than the native yards, but the
probabilities are that business can be
resumed there early next week. None
of the stock yard facilities are injured
in any way and all will be available as
soon as the rivers go down. None OF
the connections between the yards
and the various packing plants have
been injured. Two strings OF chut,s
can still be used for unloading stock,
but as Il rule the railroads chn not
reach them. Ten cars Of stock were
unlOaded here Saturday, four OF cattle,
four Of hogs and two OF horses, and
one car OF mixed stock was unloadcd
sunday. However, the date OF the
general resumption OF business at the
stock yards depends entirely on the
railroads. AS soon as they are able to
deliver stock to the yards, the yard
company can handle 1t, and the pack
ers will be anxious to purchase 1t.

FLIES CAUSE EPIDEMICS

The history Of recurrent epidemics
II contagious diseases, both in Chi
cago and throughout the country, Is
the history of unusual prevalence Of
the insect pest, the greatest OF which
is the summer fly pest.
The typhoid epidemic which ravagcd
Chicago In 1902, and which caused a
death roll OF 4O2 persons within three
months, was directly traceable to in.
sanitary conditions and the transmits
sion Of disease through the fly pest.
Chicago health officials Of the health
departments and physicians and sur
gcOns after exhaustive experiments
have declared that flies are the great
est common carriers Of contagious dis
eases and the mos, deadly agents Of
Infection. They hayc declared from
time to time that at all cost flies and
insects must be kept from fOod-stuiIs,
milk, and from living rooms in homes
where there are children. Infectious
children's diseases and the child
mortality rate are caused almost
wholly by the prevalence OF flies in
the home, IL is said, and either direct
Infection or Indirect infection through
contaminated foods with which they
have been allowed to come in contact.
The results of experiments by gov
ernment surgeons and army physicians
and other medical experts afford
ample backing TO the statement that
OF all summer dangers the fly pest is
the greatest, and against which the
least precautions are taken.
CONVEY MANY DISEASES
The most common mode OF infec-
tiOn by insects in our part OF the
world Is undoubtedly by the Indirect
method, the infection OF :oodstuiIs by
insects which have come in contact
with infected material. Cholera. ty-
phUid fever, tuberculosis, and perhaps
dysentery are the diseases which are
way. Most important for us is the
connection between flies aud typhoid
fever and probably dysentery. The
common house. fly is the insect chiefly
to be dreaded, for 1t has far wider
range of activity than has any
crawling insect, and its presence is
not regarded as a disgrace to Il we'll.
conducted household or institution. as
is the presence of other insects. The
conclusions are almost too obvious to
need statement. Rapid disposal Of all
infectious material and scrupulous
care in the cxtermination OF all in
sects, especially the common houseny,
should be among the most ordinary
rules OF household and institutional
hygiene. Tribune.

THE FIGHT FOR ( SEN

Congressman Gronna of North Da-
kota passed through st. Paul Satur-
day on his way to Washington, and
was interviewed by the Dispatch as
follows:
81 was in North Dakota for ten days
and while it was a business trip it
took me into a number of different
counties in the northern part of the
state, and had an opportunity to
talk with a number of party leaders
about the situation. There was a
chance month or two ago that there
might be a split in the party. Ger
tain leaders of the insurgent or pro-
gressive Republican element, as they
prefer to be called, seem to BET work
ing to that end, with some democrat
ic assistance These are men who
had ambitions to hold Office, and fan
nominations unless they built up a
factional following. Their first move
was to hold a convention at. Grand
Forks, November 26, which was com
posed exclusively Of their followers.
This was in direct violation of the
primary law, which is intended to do
away with convention nominations.
After they had parceled out the nomi-
nations, they began an attack upon
the party leaders, claiming they were
justified in their course of nominating
themselves for Office, because the par.
ty was under the control of a Ipoliti.
cal boss, Alex Mckenzie, the national
committeeman.
in making their protest against
bossism, they were not able to assert
