The girls father favored the rich mans

Saturday night he married her. There

the band. He consented, and when the
ceremony was about over young Barker
pointed pistol at him and pulled the
trigger Willis fell, with bullet close
to his heart. He WAS removed to an adjoin-

From the New York Financial Chronicle.
We have not by repeal discarded sill
yer any more than France has. France
has, according to our mint bureaus esti-
mate, $3.50 900 900 in legal tender silver
currency, while the United States has
about 1878, 0OO,0 900. The same authority
estimates Frances stock of gold at $780,
600 900, and the United States stock on
October l at 1857 100000. Hence, with
our mints closed to silver, We are
situated, with reference to our metallic
reserve, very much az the French people
are; and though silver has declined
materially and is not worth anything
near what it is minted at, with the
limit put on coinage we can take care Of
our silver Just as easily az France can
and that means we shall have no diff
ficulty whatever in keeping our silver al
par with gold.

Ambrose Bierce in the $. f. Examiner.
Governor Pennoyer, it appears, has re-
fused to have anything to do with the
launching Of the battle ship Oregon be-
cause he is opposed to the battle ships.
The governor has a mind of his own,
such as it is, and on all ordinary ques-
tious is as likely to be right as wrong.
When he is right he is very, very right,
and when he is wrong he is horrid. But
even when horrid he does no harm, as a
rule, and in being right he is mischiev-
Gus only now and then. The latest in
stance was that of Chinaman in San
Rafael who was engaged in being

WAS striving to prepare him for the great
change he said: "You business talk
my business hang; you do your business

unfortunate man would never have sale
it if his emulous spirit had not been free

have just come from examining a most
interesting find in this state" said he,
IAN have made my report to some Ia
coma parties who are interested in it.
The find is a field of sapphires in the
country north of Spokane. There is no
doubt that the stones are genuine sap
phires. They are imbedded in a matrix
which of itself is quite valuable, namely,
corundum. The stones are so firmly i'm
bedded in the matrix that they cannot
be knocked out, and the only way they
can he extracted is to grind them out or

Money In the Mint.

A careful inquiry has been made as TO
the amount of silver coin and uncoined
silver now on hand at the United States
mint in San Francisco. There is on
hand at the mint at the present time
total of $40, 28O, 229 in silver coin, which
is divided as follows:
Standard silver dollars ........... $50, 500, 66i
Half dollars . .................. 2d6, 800
Quarter or -,
Dimes ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. l6S,5l2
The total amount of uncoined silver on
hand is 1860, 1876 fine ounces. This
amount of silver, if coined into standard
silver dollars. would yield about $l5 900,
900, which, if added to the coined silver
now on hand, would give SOL ,2SO 229
in silver coin for distribution.

with the same. Among the twenty-six
deaths as given in the table, eight result
ed from nephri,is. These statistics show
that thirty per cent. Of all cases Of scarlet
fever were followed by nephritis, and
thirty per cent of all deaths were due to
this complication.
By way of parenthesis, may add that
the disease caused even greater havoc in
the country, in comparison with that in
the city. In the five surrounding town
ships twenty-five deaths occurred, one
township alone losing ten children.
Summing it up we can safely say that
this disease claimed fifty-fivc victims in
New Ulm and vicinity during this cpl
demic.
The influence of the season had a
marked effect upon the mortality as is
shown by the record, twenty deaths oc-
curing from the eleventh of November
1892 to the 31st Of january 1898.
In concluding this report, l will say
that it is to be hoped, in case our city
should be again threatened by an cpl
demic, th~t many have gained wisdom
from the one we have gone through.
Instead of opposing and criticizing our
OF short 81 ghtedness, it is to he hoped
that all will cooperate with thcBoard of
Health in sitting any dangerous disease
as soon as it makes its appearance.

It will be seen that the number of
males and females taken with the disease
is nearly the same, the latter being only
two in excess of the former. Eighty
four cases came down under the age Of
five years with eighteen deaths, making
mortality of twenty-one per cent for
this class, and one hundred cases between
the ages of five and ten with six deaths
or a mortality of 6s per cent. Twelve
cases from the age of ten to fifteen were
reported with mortality of two, and
fourteen cases from the age of fifteen to
forty three years with no deaths.
1t will be observed that 81 per cent. of
all classes were under the age of ten
years. The mortality as usual was great
est among those under three years Of age,
fourteen deaths occurring out of the for
ty-four cases making a mortality of 80
per cent.
Another striking feature is that the
mortality was greatest among the males,
there being twenty to only six deaths
among the females. The reason for this
contrast is probably to be found in the
difference experienced in the manage
ment of the sexes.
OF the complications following scarlat,
tina,I will add that my fellow colleagues
had the kindness to give me the number
of cases of nephritis treated by then
during the epidemic, and the result shows
that sixty-thfee cases were complicated

In the directions given for disinfcc-

cleaning of the articles in the sick room,
boiling Of all bed clothing, and giving
particular attention to the feathers con-

contagion which might otherwise create

the attending physician to the effect that
the all directions were properly carried
out.
The disirfection Of house was not
permitted until six or eight weeks after
the last case in a family was taken sick.
The reason for postponing the disinfec-
ton for that length of time is that the
patients are infectious for so MANY weeks,
even after they are convalesccnt. The
too previous disinfcction is useless as
the rcconvalescents would soon reinfect
the house and the disease be spread in
