Vaccine, Recently Fount},
Will be Tried by Local
Physicians.
Local physicians today reported
that the Spanish influenza epidemic
-has not gained much headway in the
city since yesterday, but were at the
same time careful to point out that it
would be too soon to draw conclusive
Inferences with regard to the actual
Increase or decrease of cases here.
While few new cases were reported,
it was learned that a large number of
patients are in a pretty serious con
dition. Attending physicians were,
however, averse to making any pre
i- diction concerning the probable
course of individual cases.
Influenza vaccine, which has re
cently been found by a widely known
surgeon in Chicago, has been sent to
this city and will be used by some of
the local physicians. The results of
its application are eagerly awaited, as
it. is reported that the serum when
used at Rochester, Minn., proved to
be exceedingly, efficacious.
Only Five More Cases at "V."
Conditions at the university con
tinue to improve. Only five men re
ported on sick call in the last twenty
four hours, all of whose cases were
judged by the physician to be of a
mild nature. The number of men in
the convalescent var* has been in
creased to 100, and as rapidly as pos
sible the men are being discharged
and sent out from the ward. There
are nine cases of pneumonia in the
base hospital, which, according to the
head surgeon, may be considered as
not "immediately serious."
Orders concerning the funeral of
Private Warren A. Parker, who died«
of pneumonia in the base hospital re
cently, wero posted this morning, as
follows:
"Memorandum.
"X. The funeral of the late War
ren. A. Parker, Company A, Students'
Army Training Corps, University of
North Dakota, will take place today
at 3 p. m.
2. The commanding officer, Gom
pany A, Students' Army graining
Corps, University of North Dakota,
I- will furnish the necessary pall bear-,
era, and is charged with all other de
tails relating to the funeral.
"8. The flag will be displayed at
half-mast during the time of funeral.
"By Order of Lieutenant Gaynor."
Mrs. Parker is to remain in the city
for, the time being, it was announced
today. Her home is in Regina, Sask.
A. ANDERSON IS
DEAD AT ASYLUM
Had Been a Grand Forks
County Charge Ever
V.7Since
1893.
&
Anton Anderson, for over twenty
live years an Inmate of the state in
sane hospital at Jamestown, died last
night after a lingering illness.
Anderson was 59 years old, and
was 83 years old when he was con
fined to the hospital. He was picked
up, a transient, in Larimore on April
22, 1893, and was taken into custody
by the county, and confined to the
asylum as a charge of Grand Forks
county. Hospital officials state that
he was laboring under the delusion of
blighted love prospects, when he
was taken in charge. Burial will be
made in the hospital cemetery at
Jamestown.
Since 1893, a period of over 25
years, the deceased has been a charge
and the county of Grand Forks has
been under an expense for his care
during the entire period of his confine
ment. When Anderson was confined
the monthly expense for a patient's
keep was fifteen dollars a month,
which amounted to $180 a year By a
legislative act of February, 1917, the
cost per month was raised to eighteen
dollars a month, or $216 a year. By
a special legislative act of 1918 the
monthly expense was raised to $24,
which went into effect last July. It
was estimated by county officials to
day that the expense to the county
during the entire period of Anderson's
confinement was approximately $4,
650.

RUMORSANDfT
ARECORRECTED
Banks Have Until October
24 to Make Applications
to Reserve District.
Because of the fact that Grand
Forks county people are laboring un
der misapprehension regarding the
closing of the Liberty Loan cam
paign, E- J. Lander, director of the
county drive, this afternoon issued
the following statement:
"There seems to be widespread mis
apprehension with respect to the clos
ing date of the Fourth Liberty loan.
"It is very important that a correct
understanding of this be at once had.
The facts are that Saturday, the 19th,
is the last day authorized by the
treasury department for the receiv
ing of applications by banks through
out the country. Such banks, how
ever, have up to and including the
24th instant in which to make their
applications and remittance for bonds
to the federal reserve bank. That is
to say, such applications and remit
tances must be in the hands of the
federal reserve bank before the close
of business on the 24th instant."
SCHOOL TO BE
OPENED SOON
Transfer Papers for Luther
an Brethren Are Signed
Here.
A deed was recorded here yester
day transferring the building find lots
on Belmont avenue, formerly owned
by H. H. Aaker, to the Lutheran
Brethren of America who will open
a bible school here as soon as the
closing., order necessitated by the
spread of influenza is cancelled. The
building has for some years been oc
cupied by a business college.
Immediately after the signing of
the papers, an impressive ceremony
took place when an American flag,
donated to the school by the Young
People's society of the Bethel church,
was unfurled. Marcus Quarum, presi
dent of the society, had charge of the
proceedings, and an interesting pro
gram, partly patriotic and partly re
ligious, was carried out.' Several
members of the church and of the
Young People's society were present
at the dedication rif the flag.'
The building l^as been occupied by
the Lutheran Brethren since early in
September, and the opening of the
school was originally set for October
22, but the plans had to be changed
because of the appearance here of
Spanish influenza.
The school which will open here,
was formerly known as the bible
school at Wahpeton, and the trustees
of the church decided that Grand
Forks would be a suitable location for
the institution when it was decided to
remove it.
Professor E. M. Broen, president of
the school, is in the city now and has
taken a residence here the vice presi
dent, -Professor L. Lillehei, occupies
apartments in the school building. It
is thought the new school year will
start with an enrollment of about fifty
students.

brave. No influence is so potent In its

his duty not only by subscribing him

"Full .of. horror and1 indignation iat
