Of all the acute erup- tive levers in childhood, measles is one of the most fatal-not from the disease itself. but from the complications These complications are pneumonia in nature, notably, broncho-pneumonia.

 Is An Infectious Disease
 mat measles is an infectious disease there is no doubt The germ that pro- duces it is not known. Hence we call it virus the nature of which is not un- derstood. Measles is known to be ex- tremely contagious. The virus is con tained in the nasal and mouth secretions, and, therefore. Is extremely contagious before the eruption occurs; indeed from tHe onset or the disease. Whether this virus is air borne" or not there is some doubt This writer agrees with those who contend that it is air borne, so far as the same room, even a large room. church, theatre, etc, is concerned. Epidemics of measles have been known to follow large assemblies of people. with almost mathe- matcal correspondence with the period of incubation-10 to 14 days The writer has observed this
 ''Droplet' infection, that is. little drop lets in the expired air, is undoubtedly the chief source of the contagion. It is known that the virus is potent in extremely small quantity. Thus a few drops from person with measles may infect all the air in large room. and thus communi- cate to many. On the outside however this would be improbable. The virus is known to circulate in the blood about day before the eruption. and for about daS after the eruption appears-then dsappearing. The proof of this is found In the experiment of transferring the blood of persons with measles into others and monkeys, the disease following The eruption disappears and scaling off fol- lows in little branny scales. There is a popular opinion shared by some of the best medical writers that these little branny scales are capable of communi- eating the disease. Experiments. how ever. have failed to prove this The prob ability is that they are not contagious

WILLIAMS Wins
SECOND ROUND

Boston, July %. - A lively shower
interrupted yesterdays play for the
Longwood tennis singles n the east
ern doubles championship at the Long
wood Cricket club, but the skies clear
ed in time for the chief attraction, the
match in the second round of singles
between R. Norris Williams, second,
and William J.. Clotnier, Doth of Phila-
delphia, which the former won two
sets to one.
Williams did not show Davis cup
form until well along in the second
sci when Clothier had established a
lead, and seemed to be in a fair way
to victory. Then Williams uncorked a
sample Of tennis which his fellow
townsman was entirely unable to
handle. The fifth game in this second
set was the critical one. .Clothier had
it apparently safe. 40-30, when Will
liams eased one of his gentle shots
down the side lines and made it deuce.
Clothier drove fercely by Williams
for the vantage point only to bring
it back to deuce on an out. Then
Williams, running in on Clothier's
service, passed the former. champion
twice in succession and carried off
the game. The placing of Williams
the rest of the set squared the
Clothier showed a slight re-
in the last, set, but in the fifth
game Williams made four cannon ball
drives and won a love game. He took
the next three games and with them
the set and match.
There were no reverSals of form in
the matches in singles which were run
off during the forenoon, although E.
of San Francisco had a hard.

Massachusetts champion.

TIERS OF FARGO DIVISION.

The general rumor that Is current
that the Northern Pacific railroad will
reinstate passenger trains Nos. s and
8 on the old schedule, seems to be
without foundation, insofar as the
Fargo division headquarters has
learned.
All along the Northern Pacific line
through North Dakota this rumor has
been spread. From Beach comes the
report that expressmen on the trains
going through that city have stated
that the frst Of last week they had been
Informed that Nos. s and s would be
put back on again soon. No exact
date was given as to the time of their
starting.
IF this has been in contemplation"
said an official of the Fargo division
at DGWorth today, this office has not
been informed about 1t. There have,
been numerous rumors about reinstat-
ing those trains, but 1t would appear
there are small grounds for the re-
port.

The city market continues to be an
unqualified success. Having passed
the fad and novelty stage the market
will henceforward be looked upon as
al established city institution.
This morning sales started at a few
minutes after 7 although the official
opening hour Is s o'clock. From that
time until nearly 10 the market was
crowded with hundreds of buyers. One
man who had twenty dozen of eggs to
sell had a near riot in front Of his
booth as large crowds pressed forward
to buy. Another gardener sold $24
worth Of garden stuff in two hours.
One young girl sold $1.25 worth of
sweet peas in less than an hour. There
were no chickens on sale today al
though hundreds inquired for them.
One party from Sheyenne took orders
for the fowls and they will be delivered
tomorrow.
Hundreds Of state fair visitors went
to the market this morning to see just
how the thing was done. They were
enthusiastic in their praise of the plan
and undoubtedly other cities in the
state will follow the Fargo idea. Sam.
H. Bayard, who is in charge of the
market conducted the visitors about
n explained the details Of the sys-
tenn to them. Mr.. Bayard deserves no
small amount of credit for the sue
cess of the market. He Is not only
there early every market day, but he
assigns the stalls, helps the gardeners
unload, finds out If their sales are
good, helps busy buyers to find out
just what they want and assists every
one nicely. This morning the produce
men were so grateful to him that they
all made him presents of vegetable
stuff, more than he could conveniently
carry, to show their appreciation.
It is not necessary to remind citizens
that the next market day Is Saturday.
Produce men are looking forward to
big business at the end of the week.

house, which is unlocked, by two
young ladies who thought he was a
boarder returning to his rooms. The
thief tried every door in the house,
the rooms that were robbed being un-
locked. The one who did the work
evidently is a very clever roo who
takes no chances and enters houses
only that are not locked. He takes
nothing but money and unmarked
jewelry that can easily be disposed
of.
The police desire to warn all citi-
zens to be very careful this week
about leaving their homes unlocked
as the unlocked home presents an
invitation to the professional crook.

Boston's Dangerous Building.

Boston Advertiser: The claim
made by the city authorities that the
provisions against the erection Of
wooden buildings are adequate Is
laughable. But this is a farce that no
one should take lightly. True, no more
atwood structures are to be built in
Boston. That Is something.

greater than in any Of the districts

He said the time the team looked good;
Our boys are surely saving wood;
Much stronger now they all appear
Than they have been for many a year;
Their hitting's great, their feldtng's
fine,
At last we have a winning nine"
1t CHANGED upon another day
An error threw the game away.
And then he said, with gloomy face:
THAT guys a dub at second base,
The outfeld doesn't play the game,
The manager is much to blame.
IT can't see Clutterball at third.
And Jipson's pitching Is absurd;
This guy at irst's an awful cinch,
He never clouts one in a pinch:
The managers a joke-a scream,
He'll never make a winning team"
