THE TOOLS OF CoNTEMPrABLEJ JEALOUSY

Topeka and her tools and papsuckers
still, it seems, essay to run every other
city in the state or, failing, ruin it. To
peka's so-called state fair proved small
potatoes and the state board of health, a
barnacle combination which is run at the
dictates of Topeka, as is everything else
around the state house, throws bomb in
its attempt to cut down the attendance to
the Southern Kansas Fair. They got to-
gether and passed a resolution declaring
that the Wichita public schools ought to
be closed on account of diphtheria. Very
few children old enough to go to school
have the disease, in the first place, and in
the second place what there was of it was
in very mild form, and thirdly the city
board says that the disease has practically
disappeared. Noting the action of the
Barnacle Board at Topeka as published in
the Capital, the board of health of this
city yesterday took the following official
action:
Whereas, Certain resolutions were
passed by the state board of health rela-
tive to the presence of diphtheria in this
city and published in the Topeka Capital
of the 26th inst, which has caused undue
alarm among our people, we deem it wise
and proper to make the following official
statement:
Whole number of cases reported to date,
66; number of deaths reported, l6: number
of cases now on hand, 6. These cases have
extended over a period of ten weeks.
The disease is now under perfect con-
troll, only six cases now being on land in
the city.
We are of the unanimous opinion that
there is no need of any alarm among our
people. Z. B. ALLEN,
President Board of Health.
P. D. ST. JOHN, Secretary.

The membership committees report
! shows that there are 109 active members
| and 123 associate members.
! The gymnasium committee submitted
the following report:
GYMNASIUM REPORT, SEPT. 81, 1891.
The gymnasium was opened May l, of
| this year, since which time it has been
used constantly by the members of the as
| sociation, especially during the past
month since the weather has grown cooler.
The gymnasium, as those of you who
have visited it know, is well furnished
with everything in the way of body build
ing apparatus and machines for the de-
veloping of certain muscles, the object of
gymnasium work being. first. the strength
enlng of the weaker parts of the body,
second, the harmonious development of
the whole. While health is the first
thing TO be desired those who are ambi-
tious to excel in gymnastic feats, find in
the gymnasium plenty of men of like
mind 20 keep them company.
The gymnasium has already proved its
value by bringing into the association
many young men who would not other
wise have become members, and who find
that there are many things of interest to
them in the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation besides the gymnasium.
There have been kept up this
summer NNO evenings CldSSSS anu
three bows classes, each of which
meets twice a week, and to these
will soon be added business mems class.
The attendance at classes is increasing as
the weather gets cooler and we hope soon
30 see the gymnasium taxed to its utmost
capacity. Glasses are graded so that per
sons may enter at any time and find
place suitable for them.
The bath rooms are valuable part of
the physical department and are much
appreciated by the members, especially on
hot days, when they are used by great
many.
We, no doubt, have the best gymnasium
and the best and most modern apparatus
TO be found in the state, and there is no
reason why the season which is just open
ing should not be success in every way.
Of course there will be some members
who will come about three times 9 month
and so keep sore all winter without getting
much good out Of the exercise. who viii
conclude that gymnasium Is not much
good any WAY. but regular work here as in
ANYTHING will count and those who attend
regularly will notice immediate results in
increased vigor and ability 70 attend TO
their regular business, and viii lay a
foundation for good health and power 70
resist disease in years to come
