Births.
There were IS births reported during
September, as compared with Al in the
same month in 1852: 81 IN 1893. So In 1894;
3 in 1875, and 30 in 1856.
Typhoid Fever.
20: the contagious or infectious dis
eases reported there were q cases OF ty-
phoid fever with four deaths. OF these
2 cases We have made an effort TO find
out the general surroundings of the cases,
particularly IN regard 10 the water sup
ply. While not all Of these cases origin
ated in the city. OF those which came here
FOR medical attendance from surrounding
towns all were using well. spring or river
water. OF the cases originating in the
city ten were using We'll water, and while
IL cannot be proved that this water sup
ply was the direct source Of contagion. Il
is reasonable TO presume such to be the
case. Some few weeks ago the attention
OF this Office was called to a family hav-
ing nine cases OF typhoid fever due UNI
doubtedly to the well water they were
using. The well was ordered condemned
and connections were made with the city
water supply. II is opportune TO mention
that there is a popular belief that wher-
ever Well water IS used il Is far superior
10 the city or Lake Washington water
The relation OF the water supply to the
presence Of typhoid fever IS matter that
I have been much interested in and have
watched closely for some years. From my
observations I can state emphaticalIy
that unless the well be on exceptionally
high ground or sunk TO an extraordinary
depth there are few wells in the city that
are absolutely safe for domestic purposes.
/ believe am safe in stating that at least
rs per cent. OF all genuine cases of typhoid
fever originating in the city can be traced
10 people who use we'll water continually
or occasionally.
Il wish 10 bring 10 your attention a Gus
tom that prevails OF transferring to the
cemeteries bodies OF young children dying
from contagious diseases In many in
stances the collins are taken in hack or
carriage and carried TO the burial ground
in that manner. While this custom has
some features to recommend 1t. partieu-
larry in regard 10 the saving Of expense,
the danger of infection more than coun-
ter-balances this feature | would recon-
mend that the undertakers be instructed
to use the hearse in all future cases OF
deaths from contagious diseases"

POSTAL SUB-STATIONS.
One Will Be Located in What Cheer
Lodge Building.

The branch postofIice and sub-station
will bc located in the building owned by
What Cheer Lodge of Odd Fellows, on
North Main street. just south OF Randall
street
The order for It's location there was ro.
celved from the headquarters OF the de-
partmont at Washington today and bids
for furnishing the branch Office will be
received in few days. IL is proposed
to have the North End station in work
ing order by the first of September.
A sturdy effort was mace by the Demo-
Gratis and Goo-Goos to have this North
End" sub-station located in George B.
Peterson's store near Randall square.
In fact, the department at Washington,
owing 90 the influence brought To bear
had decided to have the station In Peter.
sons store.
Tho Odd Fellows and residents in tho
vicinity of tho fine now building on North
Main street, had all along believed that
the station was To be located there and
the change was not received with favor.
1t was also believed there was "a nigger
I'm the woodpile," so to speak, and so
men Interested In the North Main street
site went to Washington and Informed
Congressman Bull OF the efforts Of the
Democrats and Goo-Goos to throw them
down.
The Congressman saw the point and
he interviewed tho first assistant post
master general. . he order received today
putting the branch Office ON North Main
street, is the result of that interview.
The government knows how To drive n
hard bargain, too
When the bids were first received Peter
son wanted $1,000 rent for his place and
the odd Fellows charged $500. Then
there was reduction ard Peterson had
tho inside track. Thon negotiations were
called Off There was another reduction
and the rent which the government has
now contracted 20 pay Is $40 per annum.
There Is quite saving because OF the
controversy.
