GROWL AGAINST KAISER.
Extravaganza of His Welcome Anglers
Austrian Taxpayers.

NuStTidn taxpayers
Vienna, May 18.-This city is echo
ing with gossip and comment in con-
nection with the visit of Emperor
William. 1t is agreed that the well
come of the august visitor was out
wardly hearty and that the decorations
were on a scale quite disproportionate
to the brief and incidental character of
the visit. Indeed, the extravaganza of
the municipal authorities has aroused
the Indignation of the already overbur-
dened taxpayers.
AS to the real inward welcome of
the kaiser, there is less certainty.
Despite glowing panegyrics of the
Viennese newspapers and their assev-
erations of gratitude for Germany's
support in the dark days of the Balkan
crisis, coupled with declarations that
the future interests of the two empires
will be still more closely united, poll
ticians are afraid that Austria has
given Germany heavy mortgage on
her future. Austria may be forced to
join Germany in any foreign policy the
latter chooses to adopt.

Robbers Hake Good Haul on Great
Northert Road.s
Spokane, Wash, May 17.-Great
Northern passenger train No. was
held up by two masked robbers between
Mead and Colbert shortly before mid
night Saturday night. The mailcar
and the engine were detached and taken
by the robbers three miles east of Hill
yard, Pwhere the mails were rifed.
The engine was then reversed and sent
back down the track. where it crashed
into the standing train.
When the collision occurred a number
of the passengers, it is reported, were
injured. A hurry call was sent to Hill
yard for doctors, who were rushed to
the scene in special train carrying
the officers.
The train was left standing several
miles from telegraph station, where
one of the trainmen was sent to notify
the Spokane Office of the hold-up.
According to the report at Hillyard,
the robbers have obtained booty amount
/ ing to more than $780, from the
mailcar.

with organisms that are instrumental
in decomposing manure. The samples
gave strong reactions Of ammonia by
chemical analysis and were even tinted
with the color of liquid manure. One
particular sample was thus polluted
from flower bed near the house, the
flower bed having been heavily ma
nured.
In localities where water is piped in
to the house and there is no sewer, the
toilets should be connected with prop
erly constructed septic tank and the
effiuent should be piped long distance
from the we'll and empty on the surface
of the ground, where sun and air may
still further purify it. If an open clos
ct must be used, concrete vault, well
cemented, should be constructed, in
stead of mere hole in the ground, and
lime frequently thrown into it to pre-
vent the breeding of flies. Earth clos
cts have been very successful and con-
sist of galvanized iron trays or tubs
that may be emptied away from the
premises; dry earth or ashes should be
used in connection with them TO absorb
moisture and suppress odor.
1t is well known that flies breed in
human and animal manure; for exam
pie, the deposits of human excreta are
often seen to be a crawling mass of
maggots, these are the larvae Matched
from the eggs deposited by flies, from
this they pass into the pupa stage and
again emerge as flies with the return
of warm weather. These flies enter
our..dwellings, walk upon our food and
directly transmit the organisms from
excreta to our food. Contamination
does not cease at that, for we have
definitely proven that the organisms
which the flies take into their bodies
from the excreta are not destroyed by
their digestion, and passing from their
bodies with the excreta the germs util-
ize this excreta for food and multiply.
Therefore a fly speck containing fifty
germs will increase its numbers fifty
fold.
If perchance the organism happens
to be the typhoid bacillus, fly speck
upon an apple, or other food, will
eventually contain thousands of germs.
This we have conclusively demon
strated by Matching flies in sterile
box, then feeding them with bread oil
sugar saturated with cultures of the
typhoid bacilli, then allowing them t
excrete upon apples. cabbage leaves
other material that gives off moisture

Sleuths Flock to Spokane in Search
of Train Robbers.
Spokane, May 18.-Responding to
the offer of rewards aggregating $685.
900, offered by the Federal authorities
and the railroad company for the cap
ture and conviction of the robbers who
held up and plundered Great North
ern train near Spokane, detectives are
gathering here from many places. Sew
eral arrived from Denver, and the
Pinkerton force here has sbeen increas-
ed to rs.
Spokane police believe the robbers
made. their way into Spokane and a
close watch is kept on the saloons and
lodging houses. A number of detec-
tives are working on the theory that
the desperadoes are hiding in the
mountains back of Colbert.
Police and railway men say they dc
not believe that Charles Mcdonald,
the notorious train robber who broke
Jail in Helena, Mont, while awaiting
trial for holding up Great Northern
train at Rondo, Mont, shared in las
Saturdays crime. They say Mcdonald
would not be likely to agiain invade
territory in which he is known to 81
many persons.

bacilli, showing that they had passed
through the fly uninjured and had null
tiplied abundantly in the fly's deposit.
1t is well known that milk is an
ideal food for typhoid bacilli, and for
that reason should be well guarded
from the invasion of flies. Keep flies
out of the house, especially that part
where food is kept.
Attention should also be called to
the sbominable practice of disposing Of
dead animals by throwing their car
cases into abandoned wells, or empty
ing closets into them, for the water
bearing strata will be polluted for
miles. Typhoid fever is a filth dis
ease and any person who thus pollutes
water supply commits a criminal
offense.
