After Jan. 1, 1908, new laws will go into effect governing smallpox cases, and houses where smallpox is known to exist will not be placed under quarantine. A sign, to serve as a warning will be placed upon the house, but not as indicative to a quarantine. This sign is placed upon the house by the local health department by the physician in attendance as soon as it is discovered. The state board of health is of the opinion that vaccination is the only solution of the prevention of the spread of smallpox, and a free vaccine law will go into effect Jan. I, 1908, the same being mended by the state board of health. The rules and regulations will be published officially by the medical iafter it.

Of course the water is quite shallow at Lake Ceorge,—Akeley Tribune. Apply For Naturalization Papers. Fred Sundby, Sam Holberg, Ed- ward Olsons, Peter Gulbran Blegen, and Peter John Hanson appeared before Clerk of Court F. W, Rhoda and made application for final citi- zenship papers. They were accom- panied by Olof Hawkins and Halvor Dyklon who acted as witnesses for all the applicants. The party is recOm.!from Myran and Malcom and will be obliged to return to Bemidji at the March term of court to give their final preof and get their cer- journals before Jan. 1. The state board of health expres-! ses its views on the subject of vac-| cination as follows: | “Without going outside of our|uing until the 30th. tificates of naturalization.

The records of Minnesota show up to| Aug. 1, 1907, 31,201 cases with 220 deaths. There have probably been at least 50,000 cases of smallpox in Minnesota during the period referred to above (Jan. 1, 1899 to Aug. 1, 1907), for many cases were not re- ported, and hence not recorded. Every careful observer will testify that the smallpox cases coming under observation in the above record have not prevailed among the well vaccinated people of Minnesota. “With these facts before the board, | it seemed unwise to continue plac- ing a heavy financial burden upon citizens and municipalities in a con- tinued attempt to control this di- sease, in whole or in part, by means of quarantine.” Much Travel Northward. That there is much travel from the south to the northern part of the state, and from the twin cities to the boundary, was illustrated last evening, when the M. & I. north- bound passenger train pulled 1n from Brainerd. Every car on the train was filled, there being two persons in each seat. At this station, the platform was crowded with laborers going to the camps north of here and resi- dents of other towns who had spent‘ yesterday in the city on business. It was impossible for all who desired to go north from here to secure a seat, and when the train pulled out from the depot the aisles! and even the vestibules were filled with passengers, intended going through to Inter- national Falls. many of whom Prize Fish Story.

SECOND MISTRIAL OF CASE Jury Falls to Convict or Acquit Steve Adams, Rathdrum, Ida., Nov. 26.—The jury in the Steve Adams murder case has been discharged, being unable to agree upon a verdict. . The jury stood eight for acquittal and four for convie- tlon. Jurymen J. F. House, Charles Dittemors, D. W. Garwood and 8. A. Varnum were the four ‘men who be- lieved Adams guilty of the murder of Fred Tyler in the Marble creek dis- trict of Shoshone county, Ida. James H. Hawley, chief counsel for the state, declared the disagreement of the jury will have no effect on the prosecution of the Tyler case agaln, nor will it lessen the efforts of the state to prosecute in other cases wherein Western Federation of Min- ers’ officlals and prominent members are defendants. Mr. Hawley is dis- appointed at the verdict. Clarence Darrow, counsel for Adams, says the defense expected an acquittal, IN" INCENDIARY FIRE Thirtezn Persons Burned to Death in New York Tenement. ALL THE VICTIMS ITALIANS Bodies Found Huddled Together on the Top Floor of the Building, Where the Terror Stricken People Had Been Driven by the Flames. New York, Nov. 26.—Thirteen per- sons lost their lives and several oth- ers were injured in a tenement house fire at One Hundred and Ninth street and Second avenue. All the dead were Italians. Seven of the thirteen were children. The bodies were found hud- dled together in rooms on the top floor of the four-story building where the terror stricken people had been driven by the flames wh:ich rushed up from the lower floors. They had suc- cumbed before they could reach win- dows which led to the fire escapes. Some had been enveloped in the flames and burned alive. Others, over- come by smoke, were- spared the agonies of death in the flames. That the fatal fire was the work of incendiaries who sought revenge ig the opinion of the police and firemen who made the first hasty examination. Three weeks ago three Italians were caught in the act of attempting to rob a safe in the saloon of Guiseppe Cu- dano on the ground floor. The safe contained over $2,000, which the sa- loonkeeper’s friends had withdrawn from banks during the money panic. The would-be robbers were arrested and are now awaiting trial. The fire started in Cudano’s saloon and the police believe that it may have been the work of friends of the prisoners who took this méans of squaring the account with the saloonkeeper. Flames Spread Rapidly. Just what happened in the burning building before the fire was checked never will be known. So quickly did the flames spread that almost before the firemen arrived the whole building was a furnace and it was impossible for any one to enter. Even the cries of the agonized women and children were drowned by the roar and crackle of the flames, the hissing engines and the frantic babbling crowd which pressed as closely as possible to the fire lines. Not a single person was seen to appear at any .of the windows of the blazing building with the ex- ception of those on the second floor, from which several persons reached the fire escape and were rescued. The reason for this was explained when, after the flames had been partially checked, firemen fought their way through the smoke to the upper floors. There they came upon piles of dead where they had fallen victims to the rush of flames and smoke even hefore they had a chance to attempt to save themselves. In one of the heaps the firemen found a woman who had made one last desperate effort to save ‘the life of her baby when she knew that she herself was doomed to a horrible death. She had folded her arms tight. 1y around the little one and then hud- dled down close to the floor, her own body protecting that of the child, The mother’s body was badly burned. That of the child bore scarcely a mark, but it was dead from suffocation. On every side of the mother and child lay the bodies of other victims. ELEVATED TRAINS COLLIDE Of Four Hundred Persons on Board Only One ls Killed. New York, Nov. 26.—One man was killed, several persons were jnjured and trafic on the upper end of the Lenox avenue branch of the subway was blocked as a result of a collision between two “L” trains. - The man killed was Joseph Meyers of Jersey City, motormen on the second train. The injured, none of whom is serious- ly hurt, were passengers. At the point where the accldent happened the tracks run on a high trestle.

PLAN AN ACTIVE FIGHT. New York Prohibitionists Cheered by Results in South. New York, Nov. 26.—Cheered by what they believe the beginning of the greatest temperance revival the country has ever seen the prohibi- tionists of New York state are plan- ning a crusade to.move the state into the “dry” column, If Alabama and Georgia can be turned to prohibition why-not New York, they say. A state ticket will be put in the field and the campaign to elect a legislature which will pass a prohibition law next year is being planned and will be actively carried on. Several Arrests for Forgery. New York, Nov. 26.—James J. Gra- ham, assistant cashier of the Interbor- ough bank in Wall street, has been arrested charged with the forgery of a check for $2,900. James W. Daly, pay- ing teiler of the bank, and Alfred Bur- rows, a denositor, also were arrested ery. RADICAL AGTION NECESSARY | Adjutant General Refers to Difficulty in Securing_Recrults, z ‘Washington, Nov. 26.—The dificulty | of sccuring recruits for the army, the | prevalence of desertion with the rea- | sons therefor and an unwelcome sug- | gestion that the dreaded Furopean system of conscription, or compulsory military service, may become neces- sary to maintain the American army at its maximum strength are the fea- | tures of the annual report of Adjutent General Ainsworth to the secretary of war. The interesting subject of the status and future of the national militla. were dealt with in a special report by the same officer heretofore published and this last report ig de- voted principally to the personnel of the regular army. Says the adjutant general: “Neotwithstanding the most strenu- ous efforts on the part of the war de- partment and the recruiting officers in all parts of the country it has been found impossible wholly to make good the losses qcourring in the present strength of the army, to say nething of increasing that strength to the limit authorized by law and executive or- der. The government, in its efforts to procure men for the army, is now competing everywhere with private employers, who are able to offer men much greater inducements than the government now offers, at least in the matter of pay. If present conditions continue there will be nothing for the government to do but to meet this competition by materially increasing the gsoldiers’ pay or to evade the com- petition altogether by a resort to con- seription.” SWITCH FOUND OPEN. Taft's Train Narrowly Escapes Dleas: ter in Siberla, Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, Nov. 26.—It g learned here that the train upon which Secretary Taft and his party ave traveling over the Transsiberian rail- road from Vladivostok to Moscow had a narrow escape from being wrecked at Chita. A switch in front of the Taft train became open when it should have been shut, but an employe dis- covered this circumstance one minu before the train came along, closzg the switch and kept it on the proper rails. Had the train been thrown ontd the siding it would have crashed into & number of freight cars. Cleveland Not Seriously IiI, Princeton, N. J., Nov. 26.—It is der clared at the residence of Grover Cleveland that the report of his illneas was exaggerated and that he had been suffering only from an attack of indi- gestion from which he had completely recovered. Additional éold Secured. New York, Nov. 26.—Heidelbach, Ickelheimer & Co. have announced the engagement of an additional $1,- 000,000 in gold for'import. This makes the total $86,150,810 for the present movement. SITUATION MUCH BRIGHTER Cortelyou May Not Issue En- tire Amount of Certificates. ‘Washington, Nov. 26.—Subscriptions for the Panama and the one-year treasury -certificates are still coming to the treasury department and a feel- ing of greater confidence in the suc- cess of the loans seems to prevail than at any time since their announce- ment. The news from New York and other money centers that currency payments would soon be resumed was accepted as evidence that the policy of the treasury had ocontributed its share in the restoration of confidence. The situation is so rapidly improving that it is quite possible that allot- ments will not be made for the full amount of $100,000,000 of certificates which Secretary Cortelyou announced would be offered to the public. It is declared by experts that even if in- dustrial conditions continue unfavor- able there is little doubt that money will accumulate rapidly in th& banks after currency payments are resumed, because there will be a lack of in- clination to borrow it for new enter- prises. This will give the banks such a surplus that they can respond to calls from time to time from the sec- retary of the treasury for the surren- der of public funds and these funds can be applied to the redemption of the one-year certificates. Treasury officials and others who have been through previous periods of strain de- clare that events after a crisis always follow practically the evolution above set forth and that this evolution of events has been fully anticipated by the administration, - SOUTHOAKOTAPLUMS White House the Scene of an In- teresting Lottery Drawing. BOTH SENATORS TAKE PART Kittredge and Gamble, Unable to 8Set- tle Question of Patronage in Any Other Way, Draw Lots to S8ee What Officers Each 8hall Name. Washington, Nov. 26.—The White House was the scene of a lottery draw- ing in which the federal patronage of the state of South Dakota was dis- posed of. The president of the United Btates turned the wheel of fortune and Senators Kittredge and Gamble drew out the prize packages. There was a large number of vacant offices in the state due to the fact that the two senators have been unable to agree-upon applicants, thus permitting the old officeholders to retain their S8ENATOR KITTREDGE. positions long beyond the time to which they were appointed. . The sen- ators met in the president’s office by appointment to agree, if possible, upon a distribution, but when they con- fronted the president they found them- selves just as far apart as they have been in his absence. The president saw the difficulty and proposed that they draw lots. President Tosses Up Coin. The senators agreed and the posi- tion of bank examiner being the place in immediate dispute the president tossed up a coin saying that heads meant that Kittredge should win and tails Senator Gamble should name the man. The piece of money fell head up and the nomination was thus awarded to Mr. Kittredge. Both ap- pearing satisfied with this method of disposing of the problem the presi- dent suggested that all vacancies be filled after che same manner and ac- cordingly the names of the various offices were written upon slips of pa- per. The two senators then proceed- ed to the drawing, with the result that Senator Gamble was awarded the following offices: United States district attorney for the state, collec- tor of internal revenue, registers at the land offices at Aberdeen and Cham- berlain and receivers at the land offices at Rapid City, Pierre, Huron and Aberdeen and.Indian agent at Lower Brule agency. In addition to the office of national bank examiner Senator Kittredge drew the following offices: ~ Assayer of the mint at Dead- wood, registers at Mitchell, Rapid City, Pierre and Huron; receivers at Mit- chell and Chamberlain, Indian agent at .Crow Creek agency and the audi- torship for the treasury department. The result of the lottery will be that the president will be guided by it In designating officlals to fill the va- cancies, Senator Kittredge recom- mending for the offices Which he drew and Senator Gamble for the others. The agreement was hastily made and is binding only in the matter of nom- ination, each senator reserving the right to oppose the confirmation of a person nominated at the instance of the other. CLERGYMEN UP IN ARMS. Action of New York School Condemned. New York, Nov. 26.—Scores of clergymen in New York are up in arms against the order of the board of education providing that the words Board Christ and Christmas must net appear in the hymns and songs sung in the public schools and that there must be no Christmas celebration of any kind. The subject was discussed in many pulpits Sunday and it is said that an effort will be at once made to induce the board to rescind its action in the matter. If this is unsuccessful it is possible that the matter will be taken into the courts, many claiming that |} the board has no legal right te issue such an order. Burglars Carry Off 8afe. Buperior, Wis,, Nov. 26.—Burglars removed the 500-pound safe from the |{ g office of the Independent Laundry company on the main business street, towed it into the company’s rig at the Back door, drove to a secluded spot near the bay and broke it open with a sledge. They got about $100 in eur- rency and $60 in cashier’s checks. At Least One Person Killed. Cincinnati,” Nov. 26.—At least one pergson was killed, a large number were injured and heavy property loss was caused by a fire in the six-story brick block at Twelfth and Main streets, occupied by the William Wind- horet company, a retail dry goods firm.
