for tn" month of February:
Owing to the irequsu sschanges of the
weather quite nOmber Of cases CI
pneumonia and other pulmonary com
plants existed, and amop est them several
deaths occurred, most among children
There has also prevailed series Ct cases
# mumps and measles, requiring
all my vigilance to prevent
spreading over the city. The

qIently every member OF his family ex-
Cept ore had the disease. Mr.. Conner
promised me very faithfully that he
would strictly guard its spreading from

The measles Wss Introduced into the
family OF Marshal J. II Keith, who tried
hut tailed to keep it from spreading to
his brothers, Bob Keith, and to the
family of John Boyd. Bob Keith con-

In each case nave accepted the promises
Of the injected parties to quarantine the
premises, saying, "It you do rot will

TO know that, from it's slow progress, the
disease will soon be stamped out Of cur
city.

which Gil my forts have signally failed
in removing, the sanitary condition is
very coed.
