Special Correspondence OF The Star.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 2, 1910.
Wisconsin's most fiercely fought pri-
mary election battle is all but ended.
Tuesday the ballots will be poIled. The
result is likely to be so close that it may
be days before II is definitely known who
Is the nominee of the republicans for the
governorship.
This Is the real fight In Wisconsin this
fall although the outside world has. as
rule. supposed that the fight was for the
election of Senator La Toilette. There
has been no general expectation through
out the campaign that Senator La Toilette
could be defeated in the popular ballot.
La Toilette Sure to Come Back.
In the height Of La Follette's fight
against Senator Spooner Wisconsin, al
though devoted to La Toilette and his
Ideas refused to turn out from the sena-
torship the famous old stalwart who won
national renown for his party in con-
structive legislation at Washington. Wis
consin. like any other state, likes to have
q senator at Washington who is a power
on one side or another in the battles of
lawmaking.
The same holds true, now that La Fol-
iette has lost many OF his stanchest sup
porters of his early campaign. Although
there seems to be little question tnat
La Toilette Will be the cnoice of the
primaries by a large majority. over s.
Wisconsin will follow the lead of the
more radical states and adopt a repuo-
lican platform condemnatory of President
Taft and the administration.

INFECTION Of water
is t h e most COM
mon source of wide
spread epidemics of ty-
phoid fever. many Of
which have been shown
to originate in the con-
tamination Of a we'll or a
spring A very striking
one occurred at Plym-
outh, Pa, in 1885, which

Shakespeare. The town
with a population of
5000 was in part sup
plisd with drinking wa
ter from a reservoir fed
by a mountain stream.
During January, Febru-
airy and March, in a cot
tage by the side of and
at a distance Of from 60
to 80 feet from this
stream, a man was i'll
with typhoid fever.
THE attendants were
in the habit at night
of throwing out the ev-
acuations on the ground
toward the stream. Dur
ing these months the
ground was frozen and
covered with snow. In
the latter part of March
and early in April there
was considerable rain
fall and a thaw in which
a large part Of the three
months accumulation of
discharges was washed
into a brook, not so feet
distant. AT the very
time of this thaw the
patient had numerous
discharges. About the
10th Of April cases of
typhoid fever broke out
in the town, appearing
for a time at the rate of
so per day. In all about
1900 people were at
tackled. An immense
majority Of all the cases
were in the part of the

episodes following on the close of the
war, which has left its indelible I'M
print upon the minds of those who es-
capped. Every year new the anniver-
sary is celebrated and this year the
survivors from Ohio, Wisconsin, Hi
nois, Nebraska, Kansas, West Virginia,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Mich
igan ana other states gathered in small
towns near Knoxville to celebrate the
event.
This has now become an annual ev-
ent, and, strange to say, the Sultana
burned just seven miles north of Mem
phis, and never a word has been said
of celebration here. 1t is possible be-
cause nearly all of the survivors were
Federal soldiers. That is why Mem
phis has not been selected, probably,
but the fact remains, that it was from
Memphis that the boat sailed on that
ftful morning of fate. If the celebra-
ton is to be properly obcerved, it
should be near the scene of the disas-
ter, the Pittsburg Sun gives the fol
lowing account which is still vitality
interesting to all who recall the disas-
ter
'eThe steamboat Sultana was built
at Cincinnati IN 1868, and was a regu-
lar packet running between ST. Louis
and New Orleans. During the Civil
War the boat did considerable bust
ness for the government of the United
States in transporting troops along
the Mississippi river.
con the Inflated trip that marked
the end Of her career the Sultana left
New Orleans April q, 1865, and ar
rived at Vicksburg April "a, remaining
there twenty-six hours. At yicksburg
1865 soldiers, or about two full regi-
ments, and thirty-fve Federal officers
who had been paroled having been in
the Confederate prisons at Anderson
eompa MES of infantry, were taken on
board, making more than 1900 persons
on board. The homes of the soldiers
were in Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana,
Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin.
Nebraska, Kansas and West Virginia,
the larger number being from Tennes-
see and Kentucky.
"Every available foot of space was
occupied by the soldiers and the regu-
lar passengers, in fact, the boat was
greatly crowded On the monring of
April Is the Sultana reached Memphis,
where a large quantity of sugar was un-
loaded Early en- the morning of the
next day the boat left Memphis.
About 4 o'clock occurred the ter
rifle explosion which destroyed the
boat and sent hundreds of souls to
death. The explosion occurred near
Hen and Chicken Island, one of the
four boilers of the boat bursting. The
vessel caught FIRE, and it was at once
evident that the boat was doomed,
and with the majority of those on
board.
Hundreds of the passengers jump
ed from the burning boat into the wat
er, only to be swallowed up by the cur
rent. A few were saved by clinging
to pieces of the wreckage. Others man
aged to swim for miles, only to per-
ish from exhaustion.
Older residents who remember the
event, add a thrilling chapter which
is always filled with q tragic note. Bod
les floating down the river at break

paossan. There were aaarauders who
