THIS WEATHER FAVORS GRIP AND TYPHOID: Mud, half-melted snow, dirty water' under foot and a threatening sky above have served to make today the most disagreeable twenty-four hours of the past year. "Rain or snow tonight and Friday" is the prediction of the weath er bureau, and no hope of pleasant weather is held out for some time to come. Yesterday more rain fell than has been recorded since Nov. 19, 1904. The catchbasins of the sewers on the down town streets are clogged with snow, ice and dirt, and the streets are flooded with water. Many cellars and base ments are suffering severely, and if a sudden freeze should come the result would be serious. When a slight rain or snow is not in the air the mist soaks outer garments and makes an overcoat a necessity, al tho the temperature is far above freez ing. Many warnings have been sent out by phsicians, stating that every precaution should be taken to prevent an epidemic of grip and typhoid.

DANGERS LURKING IN OLD CORKS PHYSICIANS WANT HEALTH DE- PARTMENT TO TAKE ACTION.

Corks in spring water bottles are a factor in spreading contagious diseases, say physicians, who recommend that the health department Btart a crusade to prevent a second usage of corks in water bottles. According to the physicians the corks are used by spring water merchants until they are practically worn out. They go from house to house and back to the headquarters.

It seems probable that there will not be much coming from the $10,000 surety deposit at Fargo, which was the principal asset. A dispatch from Far go says: The trustee for the Coe Commission company will be unable to realize on one $10,000 deposit, which has been claimed as an asset for the defunct concern. About a year ago Biedler Robinson, lumber dealers, sued the commission company for money lost by their Casselton agent in the commission company's office. The jury decided in favor of the commission house, but Judge Pollock set aside the verdict and directed Judgment for the lumber concern. The case went to the state su preme court and Judge Pollock was sus tained. In order to perfect the appeal, the commission house had to file bonds for the amount of the judgment and the costs. The company secured two local bankers as sureties and deposited $10,- 000 in cash to guarantee them. The re mittiur in the case reached the local courts a few days ago and the judgment was satisfied. It amounted to $9,801 and the trustee of the commission house will be unable to count that amount as an as set of the organization. "There will be a large amount of dead loss," said one of the attorneys connected with the case today. "The business at the Canadian offices is out of the reach of the present receiver and this may prove to be considerable. In addition there are several hundred dol lars worth of supplies on hand which will be a total loss.

COAXED BOYS TO FIGHT IN SALOON FOR THE Excelsior Aroused over the Affair Which Played a Prominent Part in the Defeat of the License Element at the Election' of TuesdayJoy Victory. over Since the people of Excelsior voted to abolish saloons some interesting facts have come to light, explaining the result of the spring election.' Altho the defeat of the saloon ele ment was largely due to the efforts of Rev. Donald McKenzie, who took up the fight nearly a year ago, the crisis came two weeks ago, when a prizefight was held in one of the saloons. The participants were two well-known boys of the town, who had been highly re spected. The saloonkeeper offered a keg of beer to the winner, and after the fight the spectators were invited to share the prize. The amateur pugilists also indulged and that night were carried home oy admiring friends. An attempt was made to hush the matter up, but the business men took up the fight, and many who had thought license a good thing for the village, voted against it. It was an overwhelming victory for the antisaloon element. Many residents and property owners are elated over the turn oi the election, especially since the town is to be prac tically a suburb of Minneapolis, when the trolley line is completed. The sa loon licenses expire May 1, and after that all drinking places will be closed for the first time eight years. MISTAKE OF AN AGENT BOARD OF CONTROL MEMBERS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RULING AS TO UNIVERSITY LIBRARY. The rule requiring competitive bids on books for the university library was not made by the members of the state board of control. The first informa tion the members had was a recent ar ticle in The Journal. On investigation, the board of con trol discovered that the rule had been made by their purchasing agent at the university, Mr. Carter. He was acting under general instructions to buy every thing possible on competitive ^ids, and, without knowing of a special under standing reached by the board of con trol and the regents before his time, when the board of control first assumed charge of the financial affairs of the university. At that time it was agreed that the university authorities should buy books out of the $5,000 annual appropriation for the libary, without interference from the board of control. The new purchasing agent, not knowing this, has been indorsing all requisitions for books, "Get competitive bids," and the university authorities naturally as sumed that this was under a ruling of the board of control. The misunderstanding has been cleared up and the university authorities once more' have a free hand in buying for the library.

His concern has prospered and he is an active promoter in an elec tric company, which is to supply the principal cities of the Black Hifls with electric power and lighting. He says it will prove the salvation or many ox the smaller miens which are now unable to operate on account of the lack of power. The company, which is capitalized at $3,000,000 and is backed by moneyed men in the east, will begin work on its plant in a few weeks.

SITE CHOSEN FOR NEW BUILDING INSTITUTE OP PATHOLOGY AND HYGIENE ON THE CAMPUS. Will Be Built on the River Bank Facing the Mechanic Arts Building Important Addition to the Medical CollegeDr. Wesbrook Outlines the Plans for Construction. The next building on the university campus, an institute of pathology and hygiene, for which the legislature has already appropriated $105,000, will be built on the river bank northeast of the present anatomical laboratory, med ical building and experimental labora tory and facing the mechanic arts building. This site was selected by the executive committee of the board of re gents and as the plans for the building outlined by Dr. F. F. Wesbrook have already been approved, work on this important addition to the medical col lege will begin at once. In addition to facilities for handling the university work in pathology and embryology, the south wing of the new building will contain the quarters of the state board of health. In connec tion with the work of the board, quar ters will be provided for a Pasteur in stitute, the fourth of its kind in the country. The need for such an insti tute has long been felt among the medical men or the state, and the legis islature has been asked for an appro priation. New York, Baltimore and Chicago are the three cities in which Pasteur institutes are now located. The new building will be 206 feet long and 94 feet wide. It will be three stories high in the center, and wings on each side will be two,stories in height. The central section of tho building fill be given over to a mu seum and library and to an immense amphitheater. The laboratory arrange ment thruout the building is especially adapted to the needs of the depart ments, and a system of small and sep arate laboratories, all visible to the in structor from the center of the room, will be introduced. 9868 Customers.

Pleasure before business was the rule with the National Retail Hardware Dealers' association today. The dele gates, visitors and friends assembled at the West hotel at 9 a.m. and left for a morning's outing in St. Paul. Char tered cars carried the party to the sub urb down river. After visiting the new capitol and other points of interest, the visitors were entertained at luncheon by the St. Paul Commercial club. The final session was called at 2 p.m. All committees outstanding reported, including the two important committees on bylaws and nominations. The elec tion of officers followed. The Minnesota and Minneapolis re tail hardware dealers were hosts last evening at the formal banquet of the convention in the ordinary of the West hotel. A. T. Stebbins acted as toast master. Mayor D. P. Jones welcomed the visitors. F. C. Moys of Boulder, Col., responded for the association. E. L. Millar of Duluth, responded to the toast, "The State of Minnesota" A. H.

Hereafter cigar stores will be pro hibited from using, for window display, empty cigar boxes with indented brand and printed caution notice of factory, without a revenue stamp. It has been the custom of many cigar stores to use such boxes so as not to injure the quality of their goods by having them standing in the win dows. Thru an announcement received at the internal revenue office today it was learned that all such boxes will be seized after May 1, and that a fine of not less than $50 or more than $500 will be imposed. Murder Inquest Tomorrow.A coroner's inquest into the murder of Christian Schindeldecker, the St. Paul butcher, will be held in St. Paul at 9 a.m. tomorrow. Budding genius in the person of John J. Bosenthal, Jr., struts about the stage of the Orpheum this week and if the public is none the wiser it is because a fond mama sees that said genius does not strut behind the wings or in front of the exposed "drops." John J. Bosenthal is the son of one of the best known managers in Ameri can theatricals and Mrs. Bosenthal, bet ter known as Kathryn Osterman, ap pearing this week in a little sketch called "Emma's Dilemma." He has been of this world just thirty months, and twenty-four of these he nas spent "in the business." The picture was taken when J. J., Jr., was but 14 months old and was still rejoicing in the fact that he was "born in Ohio." While he has been known to cry, he is counted as the happiest kid in the theatrical business and travels every where his mother goes. In case he falls, as he often does, for his round Dutch legs are sometimes misguided, he laughs where others might weep. John J., Jr., made his professional debut at Omaha Saturday night. The function was informal and broke up the house as well as the company. His mother was playing her sketch with all the enthusiasm possible whilst combat ing an attack of laryngitis and had reached the most serious scene when the house suddenly burst into an uproar. Looking about she saw her son and heir standing, an interested spectator,thfo in the "center door, fancy'r stage setting, the beheld of all behold ers. His unexpected appearance broke up the act and he was seized and brought to Minneapolis forthwith. Now he is under guard, and only "appears upon invitation.

First Arrest Made as a Result of Evi dence Given in Police Court by Annie MillsOther Arrests Will Follow as the Evidence Is Secured. A crusade on downtown rooming houses of questionable reputation is planned by the police. The first war rant was issued today when Patrolmen Hall and Eone made complaint against the keeper of one of these places on Third street S. The warrant was the result of the testimony of Annie Mills, arrested in the place last night by the officers, one of whom was in citizen's clothing, and was taken there by the woman who accosted him on the street. It has been known by the police that the proprietors of these rooming houses had definite understandings with women of the streets, but no evi dence of these compacts could be se cured. When Miss Mills was on the witness stand this morning she told the court of an agreement which she had with the proprietor of the house where she was arrested. Judge Waite at once directed City Attorney Finney to issue a complaint for the keeper of the lodging-house. This arrest will probably open the crusade and every effort will be made to secure the conviction of the pro prietors of several similar places who nave been violating the ordinances. SAY GOHHERGIAL GLUB LABORS UNDER DELUSION Officials of the Minneapolis weather bureau say that the Commercial club is laboring under a delusion when it states that St. Paul is given a promi nent place on the weather map, and Minneapolis is ignored. The Minne apolis station was established by i\ spe cial act of congress, and is the s'ecl^anal headquarters for the state. The seventy substations are all under the Minneapolis station and all the Srinting, JOHN JR., BROKE UP MAMA'S LITTLE SKETCH maps, and reports are pub shed here and bear the title of the Minneapolis station. In addition, the printing of the monthly and annual re ports for Montana are published in Min neapolis. It is true that the daily map, issued at Washington, shows only St. Paul, but it is not generally circulated, while the maps issued all over the country, all the large cities sending out 500 or more, show the weather conditions in Minneapolis. As far as the river readings are con cerned there is no necessity of taking them in both Minneapolis and St. Paul! and as the Minneapolis officials have all the work they can do, it would be a waste of time to get out two reports. COOLEY HAS TROUBLE WITH SOAP AGENTS Seventy-two self-constituted experts on sanitation have taken up 108 hours of Clayton B. Cooley's time the past three weeks, trying to explain how the postoffice lobby can be kept clean and the air fresh. Mr. Cooley is custodian of the building, and when he declared three weeks ago in an interview' in Thejournal that he would welcome a suggestion that would serve to please all postoffice kickers he did not realize what would happen. He now has hundreds of samples of soap and cleaning acids and plans for circulating fresh air and keeping the building warm at the same time. One enterprising firm has offered a prepara tion that would clean up Lockup alley. Mr. Cooley sends them down to the lobby, and if the agent is not fright ened out the chemicals are given a chance to prove their worth. None of them has made any impression up to date, but each trial lessens the number of agents who clamor around Mr. Coo ley's door. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE. This is an age in the history of the world's civilization when the doubting and investigating mind is at work as never before. This is one reason why Christian Science lecturers have been ap pointed, and it is customary for each Christian Science church to engage one lecturer a year. Next Sunday at S p.m. Miss Mary Brookins, C.S.B., member of the Christian Science board of lecture ship, will give a lecture on Christian Sci ence under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Science, in this city. The ad mission will be free and all are invited to attend. Not one in twenty are free from some little ailment caused by inaction of the liver. Use Carter's Little Liver Pills.
