NEGOTIATIONS Tonight.

Although nothing definite has been
announced, it was intimated today
that the order of October 8, closing
schools, churches, pool halls and the
aters, may be recalled DOR than
was originally expected, provided that
the Spanish influenza situation con-
tinues to improve as it las during the
last few days. Another sign that
the epidemic is abating Is the an
nouncement that the quarantine at
the university will be lifted at S
o'clock his afternoon.
Physicians interviewed. today ap-
(. peared more hopeful than at any
other time during the past two weeks
and said they were confident the
worst is over. The weather of yester-
day and today has aided materially
IN arresting the progress Of the infiu-
enza, while, on the other, the penu-
monia seems to be gaining some
ground.
AT noon today the city detention
hospital reported that five pneu-
monia patients were in that institu-
tom, the two other hospitals report
ed, respectively, 80 and is, so that
the total number of pneumonia pa
tients receiving hospital treatment
now is So. Several milder cases are
being treated at the homes Of pa
tients.
Vaccination in Progress.
Last night the vaccination against
influenza and pneumonia, arranged
by the Grand Forks District Medical
society, was started in the CONNER
tial club rooms, and 80 persons avail
ed themselves of the privilege offered
them. 1t was impressed upon them
that in order to make the vaccination
effective, a series Of three injections

given at intervals of a week, so that
those who appeared last night, must
return next Wednesday evening for
the second injection; it is of impor-
lance to remember the date of each
injection.
At first it was thought that there
would be too little serum on hand
to be used for a large number OF
people, but as it Is. there is still some
left, so that the vaccination can be
continued in the Commercial club
rooms at 8 o'clock tonight, continu-
ing for one hour. The vaccine is
free, and the services Of physicians
and nurses are also gratis.
No New Cases at GU"
The quarantine over the university
camp will be lifted at S o'clock to-
night, when the guard mount for
that time Of day goes off. There have

camp for a week now, and 1t Is not
thought necessary to maintain to
strict quarantine. The guards were
not on from 9 o'clock last night until
6 this morning because Of the exceed
ingly damp weather prevalent. In
connection with this point, another
comes up hat has not been generally
known. Guards have not been post
ed between the hours of II at night
and 6 in the morning. The nights

ing that time the men have beer
guarding against taking influenza
rather thar standing out in the cold
and catching it. The quarantine has
been really in spirit, and has accom-
plished much toward keeping the
camp isolated and unnecessary Wis
itors at home. The form Of passes
issued to those having business on
the campus a as follows:
