TO COMBAT CHOLERA.

Meeting of the Executive Committee OF
the international Conference OF state
Boards of Health to Devise Methods to
Prevent the Introduction OF Cholera
General. Municipal and Domestic Pre-
cautions Suggested.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. a7.-The
executive committee of the interna-
tional conference of state boards OF
health met in this city yesterday for
the purpose of adopting immediate
measures to prevent the introduction
of cholera. The recommendation of
DIR. Mccormack, president of the con-
ference, was adopted, contemplating
the appointment of quarantine in
spection commission, for the purpose Of
examining all the quarantine stations
on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, the
Pacific being left to the California board
of health.
The following physicians were ap-
pointed members of the commission:
j. n. Mccormack. Bowling Green. KY;
II. B. Baker, Lansing, Mich: Irving
Watso on, Concord, n. H.; P. III. Brice.
Toronto; j. R. L. Mine, Sacramento,
Cal; Domingo Orvananos, City of Mex
leo. and either Joseph Holt or L. +.
can best afford the time.
This commission is called to meet in
Toronto, Wednesday, August 81, and
proceed thence to Quebec. The COM
mittee gave out the following prepared
statement:
'It was voted that the quarantine
inspection commission should act in
concert with and secure the co-opera-
ton of the United States marine hos
pital service in the prosecution of their
Investigations; it being the purpose OF
this conference to unite and cooperate
with all sanitary organizations on this
continent in excluding cholera and in
restricting its spread should it gain an
entrance.
at was voted that while this execu-
tive committee attaches great impor-
lance to efforts to exclude cholera by
an official quarantine system on the
seaboard, it urges upon popular atten-
ton what is SO well known to sanitari-
ans, the Importance of such prompt
municipal and domestic prepare tons
now as viii cause the germs of cholera
to fall upon sterile soil, should the
disease gain foothold upon the CONT
les cholera was most virulent and fatal
in the undrained. filthy cities and
towns with polluted water supply,
while the clean places and those
which had made proper preparations in
advance escaped entirely, or were but
slightly scourgcd. Cholera is not
caused by fear nor by any article of
diet alone, but by the germs which
spread directly and indirectly from the
infected person. Especial care should
be taken that the dangerous excreta of
immigrants be no longer scattered
along every railroad across this coun-
try. Certain provision should be
made, requiring and insuring that all
such eXcreta on railroad cars shall be
received in a strong disinfecting solu-
ton, as cholera is usually spread along
lines of travel by those only slightly
affected by the disease. The import
ance of these precautions cannot be
over estimated

A NOTE OF WARNING.
Ex-Surgeon-GeneralH a milton on the Pros
poets of a Cholera Visitation.

Ex-Surgeon-GeneralI Hamilton on the Pros
poets of a Cholera Visitation.
CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-Prof. John B.
Hamilton. ex-surgeon general of the
marine hospital service and at present
in the marine hospital service here,
sounded note of warning yesterday
to those health officers in the coun-
try who are doing much to con-
vince the country that cholera is near
at hand. Prof. Hamilton takes the
view that while there is danger there
is absolutely no occasion for alarm.
Unnecessary and repeated warning, he
says. are liable to produce panic and
result iniuriously to the World S Column
bian exposition. In answer to a ques-
ton on the subject of cholera, Prof.
Hamilton said:
II think there is absolutely no &C.
casion for alarm, although there is
really reason for extreme vigilance on
the part of those entrusted with the
arrangement of our sanitary matters.
The national and local authorities have
better sanitary arrangements than ever
before; the laws are more practical and
sanitary science has more resources
than formerly. The sanitary officers
throughout the country are fully alert,
but some them seem to forget that one
of the most important duties of an
officer charged with sanitary admins
tration is the prevention of panic.
Panic which paralyzes the industries
and dries up the channels of trade does
almost as much harm as the epidemic
itself. There is no need of fear that
cholera may spread if it does secure
landing on our shores"

MissouRrs SURPLUS.

It's Valuation as shown by Counties for
1891 by the Bureau of Labor-What We
Sold, and What 1t Added to Our Wealth
The Amount Per Capita
The Missouri bureau of labor has pub
lished the following self-explanatory
statement:
Numerous inquiries have been received by the
bureau from various portions OF the state TOT
statement of the amount OF money received
during the year 1891 by each county, Tor the
sale Of her surplus commodities. Fer this rea-
son the bureau of labor has decided to give the
information to the public in advance OF the reg
ular annual report.
In the total for the state, the valuation OF each
is not only given but the population. and also
the amount received by each individual. The
total amount of wealth added to our state,
from the farm, forest and mines, during the
Fear 1891, shown by the table, is S1.6.OOl I51.
which is S5S.S1 for every man. woman and child
In our state. The total shown from the
table differs from the total as given on the
statistical map recently issued By this depart
ment by S952t4 2. This discrepancy occurs from
the fact that on the map an average had to be
placed upon the 1910 car loads of miscel-
laneous shipments. as there was not space on
the map to itemize the numerous products,
while in making up the totals as they appear
tor each county in the table, each commodity
has been given its proper value.
Several of the best counties in the state do
not show as large a surplus as they actually
have, because they supply the large number of
inmates and students in the eieemosynary in
situations and schools located within them.
There are eight counties in the state that
have neither rail nor river shipping facilities.
hence they do not appear in this investigation.
The surplus from the eight counties is shipped
from stations in the adjoining counties. and
they get credit for shipments that they are not
entitled to; but this does not affect the total
for the state.
ing on other states are probably taken out of
Missouri and shipped, and We get credit for
it, but enough is driven in to offset this.
