MARS.
Tbo blood red planet Mars , which
has appeared and reappeared oacb
night In tbo dome of southeastern
skies , has been an object of unusual
beauty among lanterns nickering In
tbo heavens during the past couple of
weeks and many Norfolk people , as
well as people all over tbo country ,
have taken occasion to remark upon
tbo far nwny red ball. But far more
Interest has been displayed In Mars
by astronomers and a number of In
teresting now facts have been brought
to light
Mars during tbo past week approached
preached Its point of greatest near
ness to the earth and on Saturday the
distance between tbo world and tbo
crimson neighbor planet was at Its
shortest.
Taking advantage of this proximity ,
nstronomors gathered In famous ob
servatories to got now glimpses of tbo
situation presented. At the Lowell ob
servatory at Flagstaff , Arizona , tlio
favorable conditions for observation
Imvo been taken advantage of during
the past several days and It Is report
ed that photographs will soon bo avail-
nblo showing things hitherto con
cealed. The formerly discovered "ca
nals" have been found again , but ad
ditional ones have also been discov
ered. Poles of tbo planet , capped with
presumably Ice or snow , have been
found during the past few days. The
southern cap ls now molting , the
northern cap Increasing In area.
Mars Is now In southern declina
tion , which means that It can bo best
seen south of the equator. A party
of American astronomers with cam
eras and telescopes are now In the
Andes In the hope of adding something
to the earthly knowledge of a planet
made Interesting to us by the belief
that It Is Inhabited with creatures
apparently much like ourselves.
DANGERS OP CARDOLIC ACID.
Now they tell us that the applicat
ion of carbolic ncld as an antiseptic
upon an open wound Is apt to result
In gangrene. What had been believed
a safe preventive against lockjaw am !
things is said by the Mcdlcan News
to bo full of danger.
Dr. Justin Ilcrold , writing In thai
magazine , says : "Tho public , ani
unhappily many pharmacists and prac
titloners of medicine , do not appro
clato thoroughly tbo grave dangers
residing In the dally and popular us <
of carbolic acid solutions as a routim
application to open wounds and In
juries of other character. Injuries ti
the fingers and toes , trilling In extent ,
to which carbolic ncld in various
strengths of solution is applied too
freely , in some cases have resulted in
gangrene of tbo parts to which tbo
ncld Is applied. * * * In cases of car
bolic acid gangrene , the history as a
rule , is as follows : The patient us
ually comes for treatment with the
history of having treated a cut , bruise
or a felon with a solution of carbolic
ncld or with an ointment containing
small quantities of the drug , * * *
Carbolic acid , cither In the form of
a dilute solution or of an ointment , is
the agent that occurs to the mind of
most people ns the proper remedy for
use as an antiseptic. This and the
want of knowledge as to Its judicious
use , is the reason for the frequent oc
currence of carbolic acid gangrene. "
The Medical News , In an editorial
way , commenting upon the dangers of
the Fourth of July , says : "Sorno of
the additional dangers Incurred last
year must not be forgotten. Certain
zealous parents Inferred that they
should apply rather strong antiseptics
to blank cartridge wounds and the re-
Bull was In some cases severe slough
ing and In a few cases oven perma
nent deformity. By many persons
antiseptics are supposed to he quite
sufficient to kill any germs that may
bo proHont , and carbolic acid Is looked
upon as an extremely elllclent gorm- ! \
ride. Some foolish mothers wrapped
the lingers of children In gauze wet
with solutions of live percent carbolic
acid , and gangrene ensued. There can
not bo sulllclent warnings of the dan
ger of applications of carbolic acid
even In solution weaker than five per
cent , to Injured cutaneous surfaces. "
T1I10 NEED OF INSPECTION.
The city council of every town not
provided with dairy and meat Inspect
or service could ilnd food for thought
and foundation for action In the
knowledge that much tuberculosis In
people comes from cows , through milk
and meat , Whllo towns unprotected
by this class of Inspection go on run
ning risks , there Is sweeping over the
country a general appreciation of the
danger Involved. The following news
article from the Sioux Cllv Tribune
ought to bo of Interest to towns not
equipped with Inspection :
As a result of experiments made by
State Veterinarian Koto and his as
sistants In Des Molnes , when thcv
found both COWH at local slaughter
houses and milch cows at dairies , In
fected with tuberculosis , tbo Inspec-
Ion in Sioux City will bq more rigid
ban over and a largo number of dairy
: ows may bo condemned.
Mayor Sears said today ho believed
ho work of Dr. G. P. Stattor , city
neat Inspector , was done thoroughly ,
nit tbo city will bo more rigid since
bo experiments of tbo state veterin
arian. Dairy Inspector Hoffman , who
works under the state dairy commls-
Ion , will also'keep closer tab on the
; lalry cows.
Mayor Scars said the milk Inspector
willingly looked after the health of
nllcb cows , thus saving the city the
ixpoiiHO of employing an inspector for
bo purpose , and whenever there Is
complaint about cows appearing dls-
ased or dirty , the milk Inspector will
nako It his duty to Investigate.
Of the twelve head of cattle butch-
red under the eyes of the state vet-
> rlnarlan , nine wore found to bo at-
ectod with disease.
In au extended discussion of the
sanitary production of foods , especial-
y meats , Secretary Thomas , of the
state board of health , urges municipal-
ties to take stops to see that the local
supply of meats Is free from contain-
nation. Secretary Thomas urges that
ho work be extended to the local
supplies everywhere.
Ho says :
"Tho various municipalities should
u-ovldo for a local system of food In
spection and the licensing of dairies
and slaughter bouses. Stringent reg-
ilations should be adopted requiring
: hnt all cows used for dairy purposes
shall be submitted to the tuberculin
est , and that the moat of slaughtered
animals be inspected under n system
similar to that adopted by the federal
government when possible. A com
petent veterinarian should be appoint
ed ns Inspector. Private slaughter
louses should bo abolished and in
lieu thereof , each municipality erect
and maintain a sanitary building prop
erly equipped with modern conveni
ences so arranged that each local
butcher can be accommodated with a
separate slaughter room at nominal
rental. The regulations should pro
scribe that all animals , the meat of
which is to bo used for human food ,
shall bo slaughtered and Inspected in
the local abattoir , or In similar estab
lishments under federal Inspection.
"Regulations dcilnlng the sanitary
arrangement and Inspection of dairies
should likewise bo adopted and prop
erly enforced. The local board of
health should also require that all
persons engaged in the handling , man
ufacture or preparation of meat and
dairy commodities should produce n
satisfactory proof that they are free
from tuberculosis , syphilis and other
communicable diseases. "
FEDERAL , COURT DISTRICTS.
The clerk In charge of tbo records
of tbo Norfolk division of the federal
court has resigned his position be
cause the fees arc not largo enough
to make It worth while to carry the
responsibility. The slowness of the
growth of federal business in that dl
vision , contrasted with tbo rapid development
velopmont bore , shows that litigants
wish to lllo their cases when possible
where a federal Judge has his resl
donee. This was tbo case before Liu
coin bad a judge , and Is likely to be
found In nil of the outside divisions It
the future , no matter what regula
tlons may bo made to encourage the
trial of the cases In the divisions
where they originate. Lincoln Jour
nal.
Is it then that Norfolk and uurthcrn
Nebraska have been handed a lemon ?
According to Norfolk's understanding
of the now federal court law , all cases
originating in the Norfolk district
must bo brought to Norfolk for trial.
Grand juries will convene at Lincoln
and Omaha and the indictments
brought will bo sent back for trial In
the court town of the district In whli h
a case originates. It is posslb\ Lin
coln has discovered some loophole
through which this may bo averted ?
But If attorneys consider the welfare
of their clients , all cases originating
In this territory will bo tried In Nor
folk , whether or no.
Before the new law was passed , Lin
coln got black In the face telling what
an outrage It was for any federal case
to bo taken outside the district where
It originated , and tried In greedy Oma
ha. It was a burning shame that at
torneys out through the state wanted
to go into Omaha at the expense of
their clients and have all cases tried
In the state metropolis. It was an
outrage upon every federal court
town , and upon the public. And the
bill was passed.
But now It's different The town In
which the federal judge is situated
ought to have all the cases Lincoln
has succeeded in getting federal judge
No. 2. Cases ought not to bo tried In
Norfolk. Greed has been transplanted
from Omaha to Lincoln , and Is flour
ishing In the salty earth.
Nebraska has been divided Into fed
eral court districts for the benefit of
the pcoplo of the state. The Norfolk
fedeinl court district extends all over
the northern part of the state , with
the exception of a little strip In the
northeast. For the benefit of litigants ,
In order hat their railroad expenses
and hotel expenses may not bo so
largo , and in order that they may bo
closer home , was this district system
created.
If the people having anything to do
with federal court , and living in this
district , will but insist upon coming
to Norfolk for trial , they will reap the
benefits Intended by the now law and
at the same time bo following out the
law.
Lincoln may try to dig up some
loophole for inducing cases into that
city , but northern Nebraska people
ill probably take advantage of the
avlng which was meant for their
; ) urses , when federal court was
jrought closer to them and stationed
it Norfolk.
PURE FOOD RULES.
For some time tbo grocery trade in
ho United States has been nervous
Dccauso of uncertainty regarding the
lUtltudo which the department of ng-
( culture might take upon certain
ules made by tbo now pure food laws.
The department has now spoken and
ts attitude Is a moderate one. It will
lot bo received with disfavor by the
rocery people.
Grocery dealers urged upon the de
partment that there are some preserv
atives and oven some classes of dyes
specially prepared for the purpose
which are not unwholesome In proper
iiuantltles and which are absolutely
necessary cither for the manufacture
or preservation of tbo product. A de
cision upon this point has not been
landed down. The board says that no
Irug or chemical of harmful or de-
etcrlous dye may be used. Common
salt , sugar , wood smoke , distilled
Iquors , vinegar and condiments maybe
bo used. For the present oven the
iso of saltpetre Is allowed. The de
partment of agriculture , until further
notice , will Institute no prosecutions
In the case of the application of fumes
of burning sulphur , as usually em
ployed in the manufacture of those
food products which contain acetaldehyde -
hyde , sugars , and similar products
products with which sulphuric acid
may combine , if the total amount of
sulphur dioxide in the finished product
does not exceed 350 milligrams per
liter in wines , or 350 milligrams per
kilogram In other food products of
which not over 70 milligrams is in a
free state.
Another modification declares that
no prosecutions will be based on the
manufacture , sale , or transportation
of foods made or packed during this
year which contain sodium benzoate
In quantities not exceeding one-tenth
of one per cent or an equivalent of
bcnzoac acid , provided these chemicals
have hitherto been generally used in
those products.
This permits the current custom
provided it Is not carried to excess , but
does not allow the same privilege to
new manufactures. It is required ,
however , that the label of each pack
age shall bear a statement that the
food Is preserved with sulphur dioxide
or with sodium benzoate or benzole
acid as the case may be , but the label
cannot bear the serial number nor a
statement that the article Is guaran
teed under the food and drugs act.
On the other hand , It Is officially
announced that the use lu food for
any purpose of any mineral dye or
any coal tar dye will bo grounds for
prosecution , except that for the pres
ent certain coal tar dyes made specif
ically for use In foods , which bear n
guarantee from the manufacturer thaf
they are free from subsidiary products
and represent the actual substance
tbo name of which they bear , may bo
used in foods. It Is required , however ,
that a certificate that the dye has been
tested and found free from harmful
constituents must first bo approved by
the secretary of agriculture.
It is expressly stated by the board
for the instruction of the trade , but
more particularly for the satisfaction
of the public , that these concessions
quoted above must be construed In
connection with the regulation which
provides that poisonous and deleteri
ous preservatives shall only be applied
externally and that preservatives in
food products shall bo of such a char
acter as shall not permit their permea
tion to any portion of the Interior.
It Is already provided In the regula
tions , also , that the food products
which are to go abroad may contain
added substances not permitted In
foods Intended for use In this country ,
provided the addition does not con-
lltct with the laws of the country to
which the food Is to bo exported , and
when such substances are added In ac
cordance with the direction of the
foreign purchaser or his agents. It
has been finally announced also by the
board , which will be good news to
manufacturers and dealers , that no
prosecution will bo based on the sale
of foods manufactured or packed In
the United States prior to the date of
thlH decision , where the composition
Is at variance with the decision , if the
variation Is stated on the label.
IN 1U10.
Another federal census will be tak
en In less than three years. On June
1 , 11)10 ) the United States govern
ment will once more send out Its
enumerators to count noses In every
town and hamlet , ns well as in every
city of the natlou. The population
figures thus gathered will stand for
the ensuing ten years and upon them
will every town and city between this
census taking and the next one In
1920 , have to stand. Upon the popula
tions thus recorded will the whole
country babe its estimates for ten
years as to the Individual standings
and In many ways the merits of va
rious cities and towns.
A town which docs not get credit
for HH actual and total population in
the census reports , suffers very se
rious Injustice and injury during the
entire ten years while those reports
liold good us olllcial authority. It
.hereforo behooves every city and vll-
age to see that it gets full credit for
is entire population when the census
s taken at a later date acts as a se
vere jolt to the town and Us interests.
Norfolk never has been able to hon
estly get credit in the census reports
for Its total population. This is caused
by reason of the fact that much of
Norfolk's actual and normal population
a found in additions just outside the
city limits. Being outside the limits
of the city , those additions can not bo
counted and the people residing there
can not bo counted in the census enu
meration. Yet the residents of these
outlying additions are as much a part
of Norfolk's population as any person
Ivlug within the olllcial boundaries.
They are engaged in business enter
prises and pursuits of various kinds
In Norfolk , enjoy all of the privileges
given to other citizens and are , in
practically every phase of tbo city's
life excepting with regard to the olll
cial census , part and parcel of Nor
folk's make-up. The fact that these
people are not counted In Norfolk's
population works * very serious Injus
tice and injury to Norfolk as a whole.
Every person in Norfolk , directly or
indirectly , suffers from that Injustice
and that injury.
In less than three years the govern
ment will take another census. Nor
folk's population as found in this cen
sus report should place before the
country the true population of Nor
folk as a community , rather than tbo
population stripped of all outlying ad
ditions. That is but fair to Norfolk
as a whole. To allow the population
to go forth in the published census re
ports without taking steps to count
residents of the outer edges of the
community , would be to work injus
tice upon the town.
There are se\eral hundred Norfolk
people living just outside the city lira-
its. On South Thirteenth street there
is a section of the city which Is never
counted in the official census reports
because the city limits make an extra
ordinary twist and put just outside a
largo number of houses and the people
living in them.
In the southeastern edge of the Junc
tion there is a residence section which
ought in all fairness to be counted as
a part of Norfolk because it honestly
is a part of Norfolk but which , by a
peculiar turn of the official bounda
ries , has been put outside the limits
and therefore can not bo included in
an olllcial census count. The Rome
Miller eating house is included in this
out of town patch , together with other
houses that ought to bo in.
In the northwestern corner of the
city there is a small out-of-town area
that by all that Is fair ought to be
insldo the limits.
But the largest outlying section of
Norfolk which ought to bo brought
within the city limits is Edgewater
park , northeast of the town on the east
of the Northfork river. This has come
to be a thickly settled portion of the
city and there are several hundred
persons in that district who ought to
be a part of the city proper.
There Is no reason why these out
lying districts should not bo glad to
become a part of the city. A number
of benefits would accompany such n
inovo on their part ( including water
works , flro protection , street lights ,
sidewalks , good streets , sewer connec
tions , etc. ) And there is no reason
why Norfolk should not nsk them to
join the balance of the community for
the welfare of all concerned.
Three years Is not a long time and
procrastination would easily allow the
time to slip away so quickly that tlio
census might bo taken once again
without the actual population being
counted. Every person in Norfolk Is
Interested In seeing the city grow and
in seeing its population just as largo
as Is legitimately possible. In view
of the Importance attaching to a Unit
ed States census , and in view of the
fact that less than three years remain
before another enumeration will betaken
taken , Norfolk ought to take Immedi
ate steps to extend Its boundaries so
that the city's actual population maybe
bo officially a part of the town.
AROUND TOWN.
Those fish Htorles are getting to bo
as bad as Sadie's lambs.
The political bees will swarm on
August thirty days before Septem
ber 3.
The four Dagoes barely escaped
with their bears.
This little bear went to market ;
these little bears went to jail.
It is said that the Norfolk city Jail
was a very bare prison last night.
Other organizations would have to
play "some" to beat the band of Nor
folk.
Norfolk has a physician named Sing
er. Incidentally ho is a mighty fine
singer.
Chief Flynn's hotel is the only lodg
ing place in town that will accommo
date bears.
There are enough bare cells In the
Norfolk jail , but they need a bear
; ell or three.
It was probably the first time the
bear men had been sheltered from the
open nir for many a moon.
A Norfolk boy called "Cub" walked
; lown street yesterday. "Hello , 'Broth
er , ' " said the performing bears.
Those bears thought they were
ucky to escape the circus. But they
? ot into a cage when they came to
Norfolk.
The political pot is beginning to
boil and the candidate is nt large.
For self protection Harry Bohannon
of Norfolk registered nt the Battle
2reek hotel the other day In this fash-
on : "Harvey Bohannon , Norfolk ; no
candidate. "
You never think quite so- much of
Norfolk ns you do just after you've
come back from anywhere else. The
town is prosperous and thrifty , there
s activity in the air and the people
are contented and happy. After all ,
there's no place quite like Norfolk.
Did you ever try to drive a chicken ?
A man on North Fourth street spent
a half hour during the morning trying
to drive a tiny spring chicken into a
pen. Now and again the obstinate
creature would get almost up to the
point and then , with a quick turn , rush
back Into the street. At times the
thing stalked into the middle of Nor
folk avenue. Why does a chicken
cross the road ?
If those ice houses had been within
the city limits , they would have had
city fire protection. Being out of the
fire protection district , insurance
rates were probably very high. Every
person living in additions outside the
Norfolk city limits ought to be more
than anxious to be taken into the city
for the fire protection and the reduced
rates , alone , to say nothing of other
benefits involved.

what promise the horse would give.
Miss Gund First to Enter.
Cal Mattheson of Pllgcr , who has
been training horses at Tilden , has
the honor of being the first horseman
to make an entry In this summer's
Norfolk races. Yesterday Mr. Matthe
son entered Miss Gund. one of his

creditable showing at the Hastings and
Grand Island races and will partici
pate In the York races next week. En
tries in the Norfolk races are open
until July 24 and most of the entries
will bo delayed until the last days.
A fine string of fast horses are in
