The Grip Not So Severe and the Num-
Der Of Deaths Decreasing.

From information received by the official
at the health office the grip is gradually dying
out The number of new cases, so far as can
be ascertained, is small, while many of the pa
tients are recovering. Death, however. is still
visiting many of those who probably did not
treat the disease at the proper time and who,
in consequence, took the pneumonia or some
other disease of the lungs or throat.
During The twenty-four hours ending at noon
today there were 81 deaths reported to the
health Office. Of them 10 resulted from pneu-
monia, 4 from bronchitis and from congestion
of the lungs. One death from typhoid maIariai
fever was reported. The figures show a decrease
IN the mortality as compared with the past few
days. Reports of twelve of the fourteen physi-
clans to the poor have been received. They
show the total number of patients visited as
being, last week, COZ. decrease of nearly 200
from the previous week. Among the patients
visited were $40 cases of grip, 20 pneumonia
aud so bronchitis.
Mr.. d. E. Cahili has SO far recovered from
the grip as to be out Mr.. James Z. Padgett
has also recovered.
Mr.. Robert Wiilett Of the United States mar
shars Office is confined to his home by an at
tack OF the grip.
Mr.. Thos. b. Sullivan, who has been quite ill
at the Garfield hospital for the past two weeks
from abscess in the ear, caused by the grip. is
very much better now and expects, in a week
or 80, to be out again.
