Pittsburg's Death Rate From Con-
sumption Surprisingly Low,
BEING AWAY BELOW MOST CITIES.
The Condition of Foreigners, Natural Gas
and other Causes
GIVEN The CREDIT BY DR. ENGLISH

Since the announcement that Prof Koch
had discovered cure for that dread dis
ease, consumption, the interest awakened in
this city, as elsewhere throughout the civil
lied world, has been extremely great
Leading members of the recognized
schools OF medicine In Pittsburg have, as a
rule, looked upon the discovery with con-
siderable favor, though here and there mis-
givings have been uttered, and they seem
to be on the increase daily. The various
medical societies are preparing for careful
consideration of the subject, and their re-
searches will no doubt be OF value to the
public at large.
From few statistics that have been pub
lished it would seem that deaths from con-
sumption in this city are fewer than in many
places. In Philadelphia, for instance, the
percentage of deaths from the disease as to
the total mortality has averaged 1876 during
the last ten years. In Pittsburg, from 1880
to 1889. inclusive, the average was SS3 per
cent, while in the last named year the per
cent was smaller than during any previous
period since 1872, it being IA. The total
number OF deaths from consumption during
the ten years was 3, ,529, or an average of
nearly one person a day.

or from Missouri. returned this morning
from the scene of the Indian troubles in
the northwest. In an interview he SAID:
"My opinion is, there is no imminent dan
ger Of any serious trouble. The troops are
confident and seem to have the situation
perfectly in hand"
"As q matter of fact, has the situation
been as grave as rep 0rted in the newspa-
pers?"
"Nothing like it." he repeated, emphat-
ically. IA great part of the scare has been
totally uncalled for. Why, a number of
newspapers got to printing a number of
sensational and grossly exaggerated sto-
ries about the Indians, and many settlers
in Dakota and Nebraska became panic
stricken. They sold their property for al
most what they could get, abandoned their
homes and rushed to the nearest
railway station, when, in fact, they
f Ee!s the 4 Indians 80 than % %s are h s1eS IN
Chicago"
"Do you consider the movement of the
Indians towards the Bad Lands is serious" '
The colonel smiled. "Ill tell you about
the alarming retreat to the Bad Lands" he
said. "In the Bad Lands there are more
fertile spots in which the Indians live.
When the order went out calling the tribes
into the agency these Indians had to
abandon their homes. In their absence,
some bands of marauders have been CON-
hitting petty depredations, such as steal
came to the knowledge of the Indians at
the agency, and numbers Of them are slip
ping away whenever they can get the OPP
p%Ortunity for thc.purp0se of gong back to
protect their chattels."
"There is nothing more alarming than a
quiet flank movement to protect some hen

"Tllat is about it, the colonel replied.
