Baby Dies Every Second.

Of the 55, 100000 babies born
every year. 15, 600. 600 of them die
before they are year old. according
to the statement of Edward B. Phelps
at the International Congress on Hy-
giene and Demography in Washington.
This means 10000 babies die every
day, and the United States contributes
1000. In Sweden and Norway where
nearly all babies are breast fed, the
infant mortality is smallest.
DIR. William H. Davis of Boston
said the deaths of infants would be
so per cent less if none were fed
from bottle. Other speakers said
half of the infant mortality is pre-
ventable. All nations are just waking
to this fact. Protection from sudden
cold helps baby to live. On the other
hand, the baby should be kept cool on
hot days.

DISTRICT COURT.
Turner Trial Set for Adjourned
Term Nov. 18th.

District court has been in session
this week with Judge Flaherty pre-
siding. Other officers are as usual,
except that Geo. B. Hillman, of st.
Paul, is acting as court reporter.
An Indictment for murder in the
first degree was returned by the grand
jury against William Turner, and
as this regular term can last only this
week. this case was set to be tried at
an adjourned term on Nov. 18th.
1t was by strange coincidence
that the murdered man was also a
defendant in criminal action at
this term of court, the case being an
appeal taken from justice court when
Miller was arrested for assault upon
his wife. This case was of course
dismissed.
The first civil case tried was that
of Frank Robey VS.. Herman Ecklund
for false arrest. Rohey was charged
by Ecklund with being concerned in
the theft of his horses last year.

sLECTURE COURSE.
Four Strong Numbers Signed for
Coming Season.

4, Tickets for this seasons lecture
may be reserved at Krueger's drug
store Monday at nine o'clock a. m.
The course this year is strong one
and will be opened next Tuesday
evening by The Orchestral Entertain
ers. This is company composed of
four sisters the Misses Gladys, Edith,
Frances and Inez Maurer. For ver-
satility on musical instruments and
"making good, their parallel is
seldom found. In this respect they
fill an important place on the lyceum
platform for there is much demand
for just such combination and the
only reason that there are compara-
lively few such combinations. is be-
case versatility in music is so apt to
be accompanied by mediocrity.
For five years the Maurer Sisters
have been giving concerts with good
reports from everywhere they have
appeared. They do not claim to give
heavy or extremely classical pro-
gram. The members of this company
received their musical education at
the South Bend Conservatory, South
Bend, Ind, and in Chicago. M. B.
Griffith, president of the South Bend
Conservatory, said: 'It gives me
pleasure to recommend to you the
entertainments given by the Maurer
Sisters. Besides the excellent or
chest-al numbers presented, the solo
and duet numbers are especially
pleasing. -
The second number of the course is
a lecture by Thomas Brooks Fletcher,
tie lecturer who was given such a
cordial reception here last year in the
"Martyrdom of Fools" Mr.. Fletcher
will be here on Nov. 11rh.
On Nov. 9th. Montaille Flowers
will appear in Life Lectures and II
lnstrative Acting. Flowers is one
of the greatest interpreters of TIE
inspired imagination which is en-
bodied in classical literature who is on
the American lecture platform today.
On Feb. 14th, Alton Packard will
give humorous lecture illustrated
with charcoal sketches and cartoons
made while delivering the lecture.
The lecture course should be more
liberalfy spatrnoized than it has been
in the past. For several years, the
lecture course committee have not
only devoted their own time to making
the course success. but year afte,
year have had to make up a defici
ency.

Mileage Of the Blood.

The mileage Of the blood circulation
reveals some astounding facts ihour
personal history. Thus it has been cal
culated that, assuming the heart to
beat sixty nine times a minute at ordi-
nary heart pressure, the blood goes at
the rate of 2O7 yards in the minute, or
seven miles per hour, 1873 miles per day
and $3.50 miles per year. If a man

MAN OF z WIVES
Sleuth Awaits Accused Neigh
Dor at Gate to Take Him
in Custody.

For the first time in eighteen years
William O. Brown, of Bloomfield ave.
nue.. Verona, met Mrs. Alice o.
Brown, his first wife. lace to lace at
the Court House today, when she ap-
peared against him.
About five years ago Brown married
Daisy Harrison, Of Verona.
AS the limitation Of two ear had
expired he could not be charged with
bigamy, but another complaint was
made against him and he was releas d
by Justice of the Peace Blauvelt in
$500 bail, which was furnished by the
Public Service Corporation, by which
he is employed.
1t fell to the lot of Prosecutors De-
tective Thomas P. Meyer, a neighbor
and intimate friend Of Brown, to make
the arrest. The sleuth did not go to
Browns home, but waited for him as
he was about to start for business to-
day.
The complainant alleges tina she
visited Verona last night and made

Mrs. Brown No. 1 stated that she
married Brown twenty-one years ago
and that they separated at Port Jer-
Wis three years later.
Mrs. Brown made a trip to Europe
and travelled extensively and re-
turned three years ago, and has
since lived in New York city. Her
present address is 14S East Twenty

He showed continual restlessness and
his fatigue is increasing"
At s o'clock this evening a further
official bulletin said:
THE emperor's condition is IN
changed except that his pulse. has
been reduced to 100"
1t seems that the proper treatment
of the mikado has been hampered by
the insistence of the court officials
in maintaining that the mikado's
body is s~emi-divine and must not be
touched by profane hands. For this
reason the physicians were mo- al
lowed to handle him or Use instru-
ments. Trained nurses were also ex-
cluded from his bedside because they
did not possess court rank. These
absurdities nave now apparently been
waved, through the influence of the
empress. according to report. and the
physicians are in full control of the
patient.

Although Senator Washburn. who

the physicians declare is a splendid
battle in hope of retaining conscious
