Results in Typhoid
In many instances since our local bac-
THEOLOGICAL department has been in op-
e.atioa, positive results for typhoid have
been obtained in the laboratory by the
serum examination of the blood, when
the patients had practically no clinical
sym ptoms of the disease; the patients still

office The detection of these atypical
or vague types of typhoid is where the

blood shows a positive Vidal reaction.
One case of this kind brought very
foreibly to the attention of the depart
ment was when the question came up
between the health department and one
of the local dairymen, on account of the
fact that the dairyman had been i'll and
he had failed to report the fact to the
health officer, as required by law. The
dairyman claimed that he had not had the
typhoid. as he had been i'll only slightly
for short time, and that his case had
been diagnosed as not being typhoid by
his physician, as the fever was only very
slight and of short duration.
So as to determine whether or not his
illness had been caused from typhoid.
the dairyman was sent to the laboratory
to have the blood examination made This
blood showed typical typhoid reaction,
and the dairyman was then forbidden
from further connection with the dairy
or the handling of the milk in any man
ner for several weeks, as a safeguard
from the possible danger of contaminat-
ing the milk supply with typhoid bacilli.
Such patient as this may be nothing
more than walking incubus of typhoid,

lie health and especially SO when engag ged

ENTOMBED MINER
ALIVE THREE DAYS
CALLS FOR FOOD

Centralia, Pa, Sept. 30-Rescuers
were still hard at work, today, trying
to save the life of Thomas Toshesky,
the miner who was entombed, last Fri
day morning, in the Continental mine
of the Lehigh Valley Coal company. A
hole has been bored through the wall
of coal behind which he is imprison-
ed and early today a tube was insert
ed. Through this tube he was being
given food. Last night a bottle of
milk was worked through the hole
to him and today after the tubing
had been inserted to prevent the hole
fl ON closing, he was served with milk
and eggs.
The slow work of reaching the en-
tonbed miner is due to the constant
shifting of the large quantity of coal
and refuse that closed him in. When
the fall of coal occurred it was be-
lieved that Toshesky was buried be-
meath it but efforts to reach him were
not abandoned. Late yesterday after
noon, arapping was heard and the res
cuing party redoubled their efforts. It
may be night before he can be reach

margin, and was undoubtedly the
fastest club then in baseball. The
next year st. Louis won the American
Association pennant, while Chicago
led the National League. The worlds
series resulted in three victories for
the Mound City and the same number
for Chicago, with one tie game.
In 1886 the same clubs again con-
tested for the worlds championship.
The first game, played in Chicago, re-
suited in a, victory for the home club,

next day, winning ~ to 0. Chicago
came back in the third game with a
score of II to 4. The clubs then went
to ST. Louis to finish the series. In
the first pastiIne on the home grounds,
ST. Louis won 8 to 8. They took the
fifth contest, 10 to 3. The sixth pas
time was a lal1apalps SO to speak,
Excitement reigned supreme. By win
ming, Chicago could get on even terms
with ST. Louis, and a seventh game
would be necessary to decide tht own
ership of the worlds flag. Old Pop
put up a valiant fight, and at the end
of the ninth the score stood to 3.
In the tenth inning st. Louis got over
the winning run, and the deed was

were the ST. Louis pitchers, and Com
iskey tht leader of the Mound City
club. Arson was the manager and
first baseman of the Chicagos, and Nc
Cormick and Clarkson were his pitch
ing mainstays. In 1887 st. Louis
again tried for the worlds pennant,
but was defeated by Detroit, and the
New York Nationals turned the same
trick in 1888. That was the last APP
pearance of the. big leagues farthest

SEEK SLAYER
OF TANGO TEACHER
SHOT TO DEATH

Chicago, Sept. 30-Acting upon an
entirely new clue, States Attorney
Charles H. Hadley, of Wheaton, at the
head of a dozen Chicago detectives,
early today, laid siege to a building
on the south side, where they hoped
to apprehend the slayer of Mrs. Mil
dred Allison Rexroat, the tango teach
er who was shot, Friday night, and
her body placed on the railroad tracks.
The states attorney and Sheriff A.
A. Kuhn came to Chicago, last night,
following a statement from a young
man who asserted he knew the 1den-
tity of the murderer, who is supposed
to have used the name of Spencer.
The informant said the murderer for
merIy lived at Bushnell, Ills, and that
he worked as a, ''bouncer'' at a dance
hall three years ago where Mrs: Rex
roat was employed. He said the man
attended the dance at Olson's Acad-

The body of Mrs. Rexroat will be
buried by her first husband, William

Joe Azevedo, thea young light weight,
who defeated Ad Wolgasts in a ten
round bout at Oakland, Cal, recently,
is not a Mexican as has been stated
in many papers, but a Portuguese,
about the only one who has ever made
any kind of success in the ring. Joe
was born in Portugal and came to this
country when quite young. He is only
a youngster yet, being 10 years of age,
but he has had plenty of experience in
the ring around San Francisco and
Oakland, having had about Is battles
with only one defeat and that a point
decision to frankie Burns. In this
battle Burns failed to make the weight,
but Joe took him on just the same
He has had several 20-round fights and
has always made a good fight. His
defeat of Wolgast came as a surprise,
for the former champion was consid-
cred altogether too good for any
youngster like the Portuguese boy. He
pr owed too fast for even the hust1ing
Cadillac bearcat and earned the de-
cision without a howl from Ad or any
one else. Azevedo says he intends to
go after big game now and may make
a trip east later on with his manager,
Jimmy Rohan, who has piloted him so
successfully thus far. He has chaI-
lenged Willie Ritchie to combat, but
the champion may change his mind
about the boy.
