NO RELIEF IS YET IN SIGHT INTENSE SUFFERING PREVAILS IN NEW YORK AND OTHER LARGE CITIES. New York, July 19.—An area of op- pressive heat that brings to mind with unpleasant vividness the record- breaking summer of 1901, has settled down over the Eastern and New Ens- jand states, already numbering hun- dreds among its victims and causing indescribable sufferings to thousands in this and other cities. From all points came the story of the hottest day of the summer, attended with fre- quent prostrations and nota few deaths. Philadelphia reported a maximum temperature of 98.8, the highest figure officially noted. In this city the weath- er bureau’s high mark was 96, while in Boston, where the sun’s rays are wont to be tempered by an east wind, a mark of 90 was recorded. Forty-Seven Deaths Reported. Following are the maximum tempera- tures officially recorded in the large cities with the known cases of pros- tration and death: Maximum Prostra- City. Temperature. tions. Deaths.

The above figures by no means rep- resent the sum of human suffering yesterday, as an endless number of victims, who collapsed at home, in the office or workshop, were privately at- tended. Suffering Is Intense. Last night no relief was in sight and the roll of fatalities must be neces- sarily increased by many who, having | withstood the ordeal are so weakened as to leave them more sus- ceptible of the heat. % day all records for the sum- mer were broken in point of high tem- perature, but mercifully the humidity was correspondingly less. But for this the total prostrations and deaths must have been double. In New York the suffering was in- teuse, especially in the crowded tene- ments, where scarcely a breath of air reached the stifling atmosphere. It was a busy day for the hospitals and the ambulances were continuous- ly on the street. To add to the unavoidable physical suffering, Brooklyn was threatened with a water famine, while the whole city was startled by the prospect of a strike of the icemen. Four Deaths in Chicago. Chicago, July 19. — Yesterday was the hottest day of the yeat for this city, the mercury registered 95 de- grees for two hours yesterday after- noon.

POSTAL CARDS ARE TOO GAY- Postmaster General Orders Many of the Picture Variety Confiscated. Washington, July 19. — Postmaster General Cortelyou has seized a large number of postal cards which have been sent from seaside resorts and other points. These cards contain re- productions of pictures of actresses in yarious poses, while some of them ex- hibit a pretty vivid imagination on the part of the senders. The postal au- thorities hold that the fancy postal card craze is going too far, and must be checked in the interest of morality and decency. Locomotive Kills Two.

Try to Impeach Defendant Regarding Scratched Hands. Mankato, Minn., July 19.—The trial of Dr. George R. Koch of New Ulm on the charge of having murdered Dr. Louis A. Gebhardt on the evening of Nov. 1, is now under way. The jury was completed yesterday afternoon and the case was opened for the state by County Attorney Wilson. Mr. Wil- son outlined some new evidence which the state has secured, and which has been kept a secret until this time. It relates to the account given by Dr. Koch of the manner in which he re- ceived the scratches on his face and hands on the Sunday before the mur- der. Dr: Koch always has claimed that he got the scratches in running through the bushes toward his horse, which had become frightened by the approach of a threshing machine. The state now has evidence, it claims, that this story has no truth. Mr. Wilson stated that the threshing machine crew members would proye the ac: count given by Dr. Koch to be a “con- summate falsehood.” Their testimony would be strengthened by that of a lady living near. All saw the occur: rence and would testify that there was no bruch where Dr. Koch was and that he could not have gotten scratched. BUYS THIRTEEN ‘ELEVATORS.

Unless the July receipts are larger than is expected, the income of a decrease. The fines collected by the state dairy and food commission in the 1904 fiscal year were $16,050.95, and this year they will not be much more than $10,000. The officials of the dairy and food commission, however, are encour- aged rather than discouraged at this showing, for they say it indicates that Minnesota merchants are learning that it does not pay to sell adulterated food. The dairy and food fines for the first eleven months of the present fiscal years amounted to $9,632.55. There has also been a falling off in the receipts of the state. game and fish commission, including hunters’ licenses. Last year the receipts amounted to $19,499.17, and this year they probably will not exceed $17,000. Here again state officials say they are not discouraged. A falling off in fines means a decrease in the number of violations, on the supposition, of course, that the state officials are en- forcing the law. The oil inspection fees probably will show a falling off. Last year they amounted to $30,334.05, and this year they will not exceed $28,000. For the first eleven months of the present fiscal year they amounted to §$26,- 969.85, The secretary of state, on the other hand, has been doing a land office business. The incorporation fees for the first eleven months of this fiscal year are almost $2,000 more than in 1904, the exact figures being $47,390 so far this year, as against $45,780 last year. This indicates that there has been great activity in The organ- ization of new companies the last year. An unusually large number of land companies has been formed and} the activity has been equally great among telephone, mercantile and man- ufacturing companies. The taxes received from railroads, insurance companies, sleeping car, freight line and other cothpanies will be about the same as last year. The taxes on the gross earnings of rail- roads collected during the present fiscal year are $60,478.24 less than in 1904, but. the increase in insurance taxes alone will be about $30,000. The insurance taxes for the first eleven months of this year amounted to $297,- 208.27, as against $270,788.37 in 1904. Grocers Are to Learn Law. Minnesota grocers are about to be coached on the requirements of the food laws and the necessity of keep- ing a clean stock of pure goods. The work has been undertaken by the state dairy and fpod commission, which will be represented by Com- missioner E. K. Slater or some of the state inspectors at meetings of retail grocers’ associations held in the vari- ous counties. The movement is an innovation as far as the dairy and food commis- sion is concerned, and is somewhat similar to the plan pursued by the commission in holding dairy and farmers’ meetings in various sections of the state. The commission takes the position that grocers need help as much as dairymen and farmers. One of the first meetings of. this nature was held at Stewart, where the grocers of Mcleod and Renville counties held an annual convention. J. G. Fowler, inspector of the de- partment, spoke at the meeting. He explained the effect of the new code, which will go into effect in March. Commissioner Slater will perform a similar task at a meeting of Minneap- olis retail grocers, and other meetings will be arranged later. “This is an educational campaign that we are conducting among the grocers of the state,” said Mr. Slater. “Heretofore the department has con- fined its attention largely to gather- ings of farmers and dafrymen. Theso meetings have been of vast benefit and there is no reason why they should not be extended to grocers. “One of the reasons why adulterated food is sold is because many dealers do not know what the" law requires. Sometimes they don’t find out until they are fined or sent to jail. If there were a better understanding be- tween the grocers of the state and the food inspectors there would be less adulteration. “Some of the retail grocers’ asso- ciations have requested us to appear at their meetings and we are more than glad to do so. In this way we can meet the dealers with ‘but littie expense to them or to us, and the meetings should certainly . prove of mutual benefit.” BIG SUMMER SCHOOL ROLLS. Over 5,000 Students and Teachers At tending Sessions. Reports received by the state super- intendent of public instruction show that over 5,000 students and teachers are enrolled in the teachers’ summer training schools now being conducted throughout the state. The university summer school leads, with over 900 students. The normal schools have large at- tendances, Mankato leading with 580, while St. Cloud has 350, Moorhead 362. The five normal schools show & total attendance of 1,643 at the sum- mer session, while the total- attend- ance of summer schools outside the university is 4,315. ? _A lady was at Bisbee and convinced all the baldheads that her new discov- ery would grow hair. on billiard balls, Se GL OTELY PURE several of the departments will show | NATURE'S OWN \WN RESTORATIVES IN FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION. Dr. Pierce Announces the Ingredients of .the Family Medicines Which Have Made His Name a Household Word in the World. With all the recent talk about patent medicines and the determined effort in certain quarters to cast discredit upon all household remedies which come un- der that head, the fact remains that some of these medicines are so firmly established in popular favor and con- fidence, have so proved their worth and value, that all the denunciations of bigots cannot destroy the people’s faith in them. One of.the best known of these rem- edies is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip- tion, a medicine which for years has been accepted by the people as a stan- dard preparation for the cure of those ailments to which women alone are subject and which has proved to be @ certain cure in nine cases out of ten and a sure relief in the other one. There is nothing to conceal about the Favorite Prescription. It is an ab- solutely pure medicine—made of roots and herbs, Nature’s own restoratives, Dr. Pierce is perfectly willing to let every one know that his Favorite Pre- scription contains Blue Cohosh (Caulo- phyllum Thalictroides), Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga Racemosa), Lady's Slip- per (Cypripedium Pubescens) and Golden Seal (Hydrastis Canadensis). Every doctor knows that such a pre- scription is beneficial in the diseases of women and when properly com- pounded is certain to effect a cure in practically all eases when given a fair trial. Hereafter every bottle of the Favorite Prescription will plainly tell of what the medicine is composed. Thus Dr. ‘Pierce will once more prove to the world his own confidence in the remedy which for forty years has borne his name and which is known alk over the world as a sovereign cure for those diseases which, unchecked, make our women old before their time. There is no alcohol in the Favorite Prescription. Dr. Pierce never be lieved in using alcohol in the prepara- tion of his famous household remedies. For it he substituted chemically pure glycerine, which has wonderful prop- erties for extracting the medicinal principles of roots and herbs and barks and preserving them at their full strength, without any deleterious ef- fect whatever. Your druggist sells the Favorite Prescription and also that famous alterative and blood purifier, the Gold- en Medical Discovery. Write to Dr. Pierce about your case. He is a well- qualified physician and will treat your case as confidential and. without charge for correspondence. Address him at the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., of which he is Chief Consulting Surgeon.

Over Forty Varieties of Moths and Beetles Bother Them. “Millers have a good deal to con- tend with in modern times,” said A- H. Hull of Kansas City. “More than forty species of destructive moths and beetles infest granaries, some of which were only recently imported and some have been known as an ene- my to stored grain ever. since very ancient times. It. takes a keen eye to detect in apparently sound wheat the presence of a ‘granary weevil,” but if the grains have been stung by it incalculable injury may be done in a short time. Another destructive in- sect that infests mills is the flour moth, known as the scourge of the flour mill, These insects excel in web- spinning and sometimes mix up so much with the grain that the machin- ery is clogged and mills are stopped for long periods. ‘The Indian meal moth excels in devouring the germs of wheat, injuring it for seed. A flat little beetle called the ‘flour weevil,’ often makes its appearance in flour after it has been barreled or bagged. They are the worst pests in the mill- ing world that I can think of now, and I sometimes wonder that the American public is blessed with such excellent flour in the face of all this insect op position.”—Milwaukee Free Press. COMES A TIME When Coffee Shows What It Has Been Doing. “Of late years coffee has disagreed with me,” writes a matron from Rome, N. Y.; “it’s lightest punishment was to make me ‘logy’ and dizzy, and it seemed to thicken up my blood. “The heaviest was when it upset my stomach completely, destroying my ap- petite and making me nervous and irri- table, and sent me to my bed. After one of these attacks, in which I nearly lost my life, I concluded to quit and try Postum Food Coffee. “It went right to the spot! I found it not only a most palatable and re- freshing beverage, but.a food as well. “All my ailments, the ‘loginess’ and dizziness, the unsatisfactory condition of my blood, my nervousness and irri- tability disappeared in short order and my sorely afflicted stomach began quickly to recover. I begart to rebuild and have steadily continued until now. Have a good appetite and am rejoic- ing in sound health, which I owe to the use of Postum Food Coffee.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There’s a reason.
