Star Pointer Paces a Fast First Heat. oa Chicago, Aug. 23.—Those who went to the Washington Park course this aft- ernoon, and there were some 15,000 of them, saw the fastest first heat ever paced, and, probably,the fastest fourth quarter. The conditions were good for fast time. The track was springy and fast and the weather warm; but, dur- ing the earlier part of the afternoon, there was quite a little breeze, which the pacers had to breast through the half-mile back stretch. The chief event on te card was the match race between Joe Patchen, with a record of 2:011-2, and Star Pointer, record of 2:013-4. The conditions were tbat they should pace three heats and have the inside positions alternately. The tess of the coin gave Patchen the pole for the first and third heats. Not- withstand!ng this advantage and the fact that he had a quarter of a second the better of his opponent in the mat- ter of records, the race demonstrated that Star Point>r was too fast for him, at leas on this occasion, for the latter won all three of the heats, handily out- footin gthe black hcrse.

Grand Forks, N. D., Special.—Dr. Flaten, state superintendent of health, has returend from Emmons and Mc- Intosh counties, in the southwestern part of the state, on the Missouri river, where a serious epidemic of diphtheria has raged among the settlers, chiefly Russian immigrants. ‘The disease is now under control, though it was with the greatest difficulty that the state su- Lerintendent and his assistants so far | succeeded in combatting the customs of the people as to give them the very slightest opportunity at the disease. The locality is far from any railroad, and Dr. Flaten had to drive 170 miles to reach the most distant points in the infected district. The number of deaths, all within three weeks, was thirty-nine. The number of cases is estimated at nearly 800. The disease was brought into the neighborhood through a family of Rus- sian immigrants who came by way of Aberdeen. Had the inhabitants been allowed to continue in their own ways, all the children would probably have eventually fallen prey to the disease. A feature of the epidemic that has made it difficult for the board of health to combat the disease is the apparent indifference of the people. They are fatalists, and have no use whatever for doctors, and there is not a physician in either McIntosh or Emmons counties, with an aggregate population of about 5,000 and an area of 2,500 square miles. The state superintendent sent phy: cians among them, however, and by es- tablishing quarantines and heroic ef- forts otherwise, and impeded in every way by the ignorant and superstitious Settlers, the disease was prevented trom spreading farther. The two cases of leprosy recently discovered in Walsh county will be isolated. The older of the two unfor- tunate victims is about 45 years of age and has a wife and six children. He has had the disease now about four years. The other victim, a young man of 25 years, had had symptoms of the disease only about a year. The cases in this country are all foreigners, and there is no case on record where the disease has been transmitted by con- tact with any one in this country. A QUEER ABDUCTION.
