The tragedy of the visitation of the
fatal fever in the Bendt home was ac-
centuated and thrown into strong relief
Saturday while the funeral services
over the body OF Mr.. Bendt We're being
held in the Sixth street home.
Mrs. Bendt was known to be dying.
and az any moment the crisis in the
little girls case might come. Neither
knew the father was dead. That they
might gain no inlsling of the sinister
significance of the quiet preparations
which had been made, and the unusual
number of neiglbors who had come to
the house, the singing of hymns was
omitted and the officiating Clergyman
spoke the service over the dead in a
whisper. The mourners moved in ST.
lence.
To family dinner, April 1. is traced
the source of the fever which has all
but wiped out the Bendt family. On
that night the father, mother and Dora
ate oyster. Six-year- Nellie Bendt did
not eat any of the oysters and escaped
the disease.
Bendt was 81 florist and had built up
prosperous business in the neighbour
hood where he lived. With the excep-
tion of brother of Mrs. Bendt no
other relatives of the family are known.
A rigid Board of Health investigation
has been begun to discover the source
of the typhoid fever. It is believed to
have been started by the oysters or
milk which was bought in the neigh
borhood. 1t was Mrs. Bendt's custom
TO boil all of the milk used by the fam
lily. She omitted this precaution on the
night in question.

The naddening, gladdening, dizzy,
delirious annual period of temporary
insanity for the American people is at
hand. To be more exact, it is here.
At exactly 1880 p. m. today, and this
amour cement is official and important.
the baseball season for the year 1905
opened. At that witching hour for
every American boy from to 81 years
of age, first citizens in big league cities
threw the first ball as a signal that the
season has begun and the games begin
with the sanction of baseball powers.
Once more the foarse roar of the nm
pire is to be heard in the land, and
the shrill cries Of delight or anger of
the populace will again float over high
board fences to thrill those unfortun-
ates who did not complete their ar
rangements for the day in time to get
inside.
Game Fever Attack.
With the opening of the season signs
of that remarkable inalady, argu-
mentus Americans, which stiffens the
backbones of ever long-suffering hus-
bands and makes the naturally aggres-
sive harder to live with than the itch,
may be expected. Once started, it
sweeps through the country like for
est fire.
"Why. that broken-faced, knocked
hneed thief. He amt got any more
business empirin' than my dog. Out?
Why, Bill was a mile ahead OF the
ball. l seen it, l tell you"
''You did, did you? You're a grand
little piece of work as a bleacher UNI
pire yourself, amt you? Why. Mike
had time to go to eat after he put
that ball on him, and before he got to
the base / got time for a nap myself
And that is just one little symptom
of the malady.
Second 10 Nothing.
In spite OF the fact that preparation
will be made this summer to elect d
new President, and the big fleet is man
eGvering i'll the face of Japan, and the
market for foreign titles is growing
restless and uncertain, and many other
seemingly important things are tenn
ing, it can be asserted here confidently
aad without fear of successful con-
tradiction, that for the next three
months the ono best bet in the days
news for the aforesaid American boys
of all ages will be the baseball news.
Well, here's to the game May IL
ever wave. The eagle couldn't scream
SO loud without it And here's TO the

royal standard, approached the battle
ship, the latter fired the royal salute
of FL guns, the bluejackets and ma

and rousing cheers were given as the
prince stepped aboard. He was re-
ceived on the after deck by Admiral
Cowles and Capt. Winslow, who intro.

AS a naval officer and expert, he
showed great interest in the details of

The Lingon Stock company, which
has been preparing preserves from
lingon (berries), is in bad way finan-
cially because the work was done by
inexperienced and incompetent peo-
pie. About 100000 tubs of preserved
berries were spoiled so that they had
to be replaced by others, and this en-
tailed a loss of about $25O,000. The
business will be turned over to some
body else by the present proprietors,
and bids are expected from different
quarters because there is good mar
ket for lingon preserves in many parts
of the world. The German manager
of the factory preparing the goods is
blamed more than anybody else for
the failure of the company.

mission to conduct a retail business
