mortality Among Aisn and Women.


Life tables have been compiled from
the mortality returns Of various periods
Of time showing that at birth the ex-
pectation of life covers more years in
the case Of the female than in that Of
the male. These tables also show that
Rt succeeding ages the female lead Is
maintained. But the London Morning
Post has made tabulation that will
interest others than scientists, statisti,
clans and life insurance agents, and
which, though the data are not very
extensive, goes to confirm the results
reached In the so-called standard Life
tables. That journal has compiled all
the cases Of notable longevity recorded
In its own columns during the year 1904
OF 1,161 octogenarians 64e are women
and only sos are men. Above 80 at
nearly all ages the returns continue to
favor the women; and Of six centena-
rians all but one are women. This does
not prove that women are happier than
men, but 1t Is good indication that, as
O rule, they live longer. And, though
the most reasonable presumption Is that
this is because they enjoy an easier life
than men, the average woman will
doubtless continue to wish that she had
bean born man.

The Reporter is unfriendly to the tenn
perance element 10 its party for self-evi-
dent reasons,-Elyiia Democrat.
The Democrat man should not censure
others for advocating the same doctrine
that he himself does. He opposes every
thing that even pertains to temperance
In fact the temperance people of the
county receive very little encouragement
in that line from any Of the papers pub
lished in Elyria. They are perfectly will
ling to argue the whisky question for the
neighbonng towns, that is, tell us what to
do, but nothing is said about the condition
of affairs at the seat Of justice, where
whisky and beer are sold without restraint.
Come, now, gentlemen, set your own burg
on the right track before spinning out SO
much free advice to your neighbors.

Thsra are tweptyone townships in Lo.

There are twentyone townships In Lo-
rain county, and in each there Is one Gus
todian, and sometimes three to care for
the public money. There is treasurer
elected in each township, and If city,
village, special or union school district is
inside the limits two more treasurers are
elected. For the school districts they are
elected by the board of directors. These
men are paid per cent of the money
handled for their services. 1t costs this
township about $500 to have this service
performed, ,an6 the county $4,000 to $4,000
Now this is a matter of convenience; but
cannot some other plan be devised to
avoid at least three-fourths oil this expense
and accommodate the public just as well
One extra clerk In the county treasurer's
Office could attend to all such business at
q trifllng expense compared to what is
now dIsbursed for the same service. Or
ders could be drawn direct on the county
treasurer and, as they are superior paper
to bills of exchange for use in the
county, any business house, bank, or even
individuals would receive them as cash,

wrecked. Special trains were made up
at Eastland and Baird on board OF
which were all the physicians and sur
geons of those two towns, bound for
the scene Of the terrible catastrophe to
assist in caring for the dead and
wounded. To add TO the horror Of the
situation part of the town burned
and many persons lost their lives in the
flames.
Saturday noon n telegram passed
through Fort Worth addressed to Gov.
Hogg, signed by J. c. Graves, mayor OF
the stricken town, and W. j. Daven-
port, county Judge of Eastland county,

wounded and bury to the victims.

Most of the loans are taken in

January because the taxes are then

because then the provisions of the
peasants run short, and all kinds of
eatables used by peasants go up in
prices until they reach the climax in
April From April the peasants
begin to earn a little. and the loans
diminish until August. After that
they rise again because after the
crops have been gathered the
peasants begin to pay their debts

themselves are soon without provis-
ions and must take loans again. Some
times the interest charged ON
