Smallpox Victim in Court.

Rochester-In justice court, when a
civil case was on trial before Judge
Theodore Schact, some little excite
ment was created by the discovery
that the complaining witness was q
victim Of smallpox.
The plaintiff was on the stand and
was being examined by the attorney
for the complainant, when one of the
attorneys in the case cried, For heav-
ems sake, don't let this case proceed
until the witness is examined" and
upon investigation 1t was found that
the attorney meant a medical exami-
nation. A doctor was called and at
once pronounced the plaintiff in tks
case a smallpox victim, and steps were
Immediately taken to assure immun-
ity from the disease for those present
at the trial, as well as to properly care
for the patient
The victim in the case smilingly
stated that he was well satisfied with
the outcome.

! their more intelligent cultivation, we
invite the earnest attention Of our
senators and representatives in the
state legislature to the necessity
which we believe exists, for the extern
sion of our facilities for instruction
in the science of agriculture with a
view to making such instruction avail
able to a large number of school chill
dren, not only in the country, but in
the city.
Second. That we emphatically urge
the board Of regents of the state uni
versity to greatly extend the means
now employed for giving practical in
struction to the farmers of our state
in the cultivation of the soil, the mar
keting of crops, and other subjects
of value in their calling.
Third. That we cordially commend
the work of those in supervisory
charge of our rural schools in intro
ducing therein instruction in lines d.
rectly connected with the cultivation
of the soil and urge an extension of
such instruction.
Fourth. That we recognize fully
the value of good roads as an aid to
state development and as profitable
asset to the people of the state, and
that we urge such legislation as will
assist in securing the construction of
permanent roads under competent SUI
pervision, and as will obtain full value
received for all money expended in
road work.
Fifth. That we commend the work
of the state bureau of immigration
and compliment our commissioner OF
immigration upon the result he has OBJ
tanned through the expenditure Of the
small appropriation allotted his de-
partment.
Sixth. Resolved, That we recognize
in the state fair and county fairs an
institution of great usefulness in the
upbuilding of the agricultural inter-
ests of the state. They have educa-
tional value, promote all legitimate
industry and are especially valuable
in showing resources and products to
visitors from other localities and thus
attract new and desirable settlers to
Minnesota.
Seventh. That, recognizing the
splendid advantages offered by Mime
sofa in its magnificent climate, in it's
churches and schools and other factors
which make it desirable state in
which to live, in it's numerous market
places with transportation facilities,
and above all, in the fertility of the
soil, we urgently and emphatically pc.
tition the legislature of the state now
in session, to appropriate sum, not
less than 100000 per annum for the
use of the state board of immigration
in properly advertising the splendid
advantages of Minnesota to the world
at large"
