Taking these figures as basis Of ac>
ton, the board has decided that there is
no cause for alarm as yet and it is the
judgment Of the members that with the
precautions exercised by teachers in send
ing children home as soon as they show
the least evidences of throat affection,
going to school, will prevent the spread
of the disease more than to have the
children at large and thrown together
promiscuously. for In the majority of
cases parents are more to blame for their
children becoming exposed than the
teachers are.

Sheriff Leonard came in again last
night from bis hunt for the other man
supposed to be with Webb when T. W.
McCauslsnd was shot, and new gives 1t
as his opinion that Webb was alone and
did the shooting himself. This Is proba-
bly, correct view Of the case. as Webb
acknowledges that the shoes found in the
house were his. The only thing that
Webb can offer in bis defense will be the
fact that every chamber Of his revolver
was loaded when be was arrested. but
that will have but little weight with Jury
as II would be an easy matter for him to
reload before his capture. Public opin-
ion is almost unanimous In claiming that
Webb alone Is responsible for the shoot
ing.-Davenport Tribune.

made it yesterday with results that are
very gratifying indeed. for out of 2.059
pupils enrolled only sixteen are down with
diphtheria and only eighteen are de.
tanned because Of the existence of the
disease In their families; while of the
sixteen cases reported Mr.. Kemble states
several are out of school only because
the time for removing the quarantine
from their homes has not yet expired,
so these may be termed as old or rather
convslescent cases.

Fifteen Thousand Lives Lost.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 49,
The regular mail steamer
Gaelic has just arrived from
Yokohoma, bringing details OF
the overwhelming disaster in
Japan. The province Of Xii,
in the southwestern part OF
Japan. has been visited by the
greatest tragedy in the his
tory Of the country. Probably
more than $1,000 people have
been killed. several towns
have been wiped completely
off the face oi the earth. and
others have been nearly de-
molished. The catastrophy
was occasioned by floods in
the Western part of the prov
ince and by the crumbling of
a mountain which buried six
villages under a huge mass of
rock and earth. The devasta-
ton was caused by the break
ing of the banks OF the Hika-
wga river, the water sweep
ing everything before it, as did
the flood at Johnstown.

The Sanitary Disposition
OF the Dead" was the topic of
an address delivered last night
before the Franklin Institute
by Rev. Charles r. Troab, of
New York, who urged the
claims Of sepulture in tombs
by a new process whereby the
bodies Of the dead may be pre-
served undisfgured forever.
a large mausoleum is about
TO be erected in New York
city in which there will be ac-
commodations for 10000 bod
les, and the new system will be
given a fair trial.
The bodies are to be inclos-
ed in stone crypts. through
which current of dry air is
kept passing. The effect of
this current is to take away all
the moisture arising from the
remains, which slowly dry up
without decomposition. 1t was
stated that experiments have
been made on bodies in New
York with entire success.

AS also from its milk. The
New York Board Of Health,
alarmed at the spread Of con-
sumption in that city, recent
ly made Investigations which
led to similar conclusions, it
being declared that those
measures of precaution alone
answer the requirements which
embrace the governmental in
spection Of dairy cows and Of
animals slaughtered for food,
and the destruction of all those
found to be tuberculous.
Professor Behrend, an Eng
lish medical authority, who an.
ticipated the discoveries OF
Koch, points out that in a prac-
tice Of thirty years, largely
among Hebrew patients, he
has not yet met with a single
case Of phthisis in the men,
bers Of that faith, their immu-
nifty from it's attacks being un-
doubtedly due to the Jewish
method of examining and
slaughtering cattle. The idea
ofthe presence of parasitic and
infectious agencies in animal
food dominated all the hygien-
ic rules Of the Mosaic econo-
my; and, preserved as it has
been during a countless series
Of generations. the observance
Of these rules has acquired
increased force by constant
hereditary transmission. and
has prevailed over all adverse
conditions of povertyand over
crowding.
Since the consensus OF SCI
entifc opinion in this and every
other country has fully estab-
lished the danger from the
slaughter and sale Of diseased
animals, it is time that a ques-
ton which has SO important a
bearingon public health should
be taken in hand by sanitary
Legislators. "

Is Consumption Preycntablc =.

One OF the valuable contri-
buttons to medical science on
subjects affecting the public
health is the work that is be-
ing done by psychologists in
searching into the pathology
of tuberculosis, or consump
ton. with a view of tracing
out its origin. For genera
tons it was believed that this
deadly malady was not a pre-
ventablc disease. But invcs-
tigation has shown that it is
prcventable, and also commu1
nicable; that it may be pro-
duced by a specific organism,
and that it may be transmitted
to human beings through the
use of the flesh or milk of tu-
bercular animals. In his ia.
nous experiments made seven
years ago Professor Koch, of
Berlin, by transferring the tu-
berculous matter from affected
to healthy animals invariably
produced the disease ; and by
artificial cultivation Of the ba-
cillus and its subsequent intro
duction into healthy animals,
resulting in every case in the
reproduction Of the parasite,
he proved beyond the possibil-
ity of doubt that it was the ba-
cillus solely, and not any virus
in which it was imbcddcd in
the diseased organs, that was
the origin of the dread malady.
The Importance Of scientific
research into the causes of this
class Of diseases cannot be
ovcrrated when we remember
that consumption is accounta-
bic for onc-ilfth of the entire
mortality of civilized countries;
and it is in accord with the
humanitarian and invcstigat-
ing spirit of the age that so
many eminent scientists have
devoted their time and atten-
ton to the subject, and have
furnished facts tending to show
that the remarkable preva-
lcnce OF tubercle in cattle is
largely responsible for the cx.
tent of the disease in ma. In
London alone it has been as
serted under oath by meat in
spcctors that SO per cent. of
the meat sent to market there
had tubcrcular disease and
the markets of the city of Glas-
gov. Scotland. have been so
Hooded with tuberculous cattle
for consumption as food that
the Courts have been asked
to uphold the right of the
Health Department to order
the destruction of all carcasses
OF animals found to be affected
by pulmonary tuberculosis,
whether other organs besides
the lungs be affected or not.
The identity of human and
bovine tuberculosis has been
fully demonstrated, and it has
also been shown that it may
be communicated by ingestion.
