Ridiculous sanitary Measures Have Been
Taken.
New York. Dec. "A special to the

from DIR. w. f.. Bruner, the United
States sanitary inspector at Havana,
covering the week ending Nov. "a.
which show little or no Improvement
In the health conditions Of that city in
spite Of the efforts now being made to
prepare IL for the American army Of
occupation. In the week there were 40
deaths giving an nnu death rate of
114.40 per !, 200, most of them being due
To the filthy condition of the city and
the lack Of good food. Yellow fever,
enteric fever. malarial fever and per-
nicious fever are credited with causing
respectively 4. 80, Ga and . deaths; 60
are attributed to enteritic. 26 to dy-
sentery, one to nine 10
pneumonia and So to tuberculosis. OF
the four cases of yellow fever two were
among the Spanish troops in military
hospitals and the others among civil
ians. DIR. Bruner thinks there are less
Than so cases i'm the city. The report
continues:
II am at a loss "a understand why
the enormous death rate continues.
The weather conditions favor a de-
crease i'm the death rate, and, while the
city Is filthy and dirty in the extreme.
I cannot see hat the native population
should be unusually affected by such
condition of affairs.
There are some few cases of malar-
ial fever occurring among the crews
of vessels i'm the harbor. but they are
mild i'm their nature and yield to treat

MORE REALTY SOLD
Several Business Blocks Have

Money Plentiful and Goes Beg
ging for Investment

The real estate market is now very ac-
tive in this city.
A number Of deals during the past ten
days have been closed and most of the
property changing hands is principally
that of business blocks on the two main
streets in the ce5. Today the Nieder-
lander block. on West Douglas. was sold
10 J. r. Mead, who has purchased several
other properties during the last thirty
days,one Of them being the Rushing block
on East Douglas. There were two deals
closed last Saturday, already mentioned in
the Eagle covering two business blocks
on North Main, numbers 222 and 241.
In addition TO the aforementioned sales.
there IS an offer now awaiting acceptance
IN the east for a s., 900 piece of property,
ana today Reese & Co. made an offer of
5000 for a customer on a block in the
business section.
With these transactions, and the closing
OF the sale of the property recently pur-
chased by DR.. Oldham, corner of Main and
First streets. viii aggregate in round fig
Cres close to $4,000
IN conversation with a prominent real
the many sales being made was stated by
him, as follows:
The best reason can give is that prop
erty is a good investment at present
prices, even though it has advanced con-
siderable. Better rents are being paid, and
as there is plenty Of money lying idle,
with no investments of a bond or mort
gage nature and no interests paid on de-
posits, the natural consequences compel
business men to look around for some uses
for their surplus money, and find the
realty market a safe and profitable one to
give their attention to.
There are some outsiders who are in
communication with one or two agencies
concerning the advisability Of making
some investments here, with view 10
speculation, but it Is not thought any very
large deals VIII follow these inquiries, as
II is looked upon by some as only feeler
TO learn the condition OF the financial and
prosperous activity now being enjoyed by
the people of Wichita and surrounding
country.

SUBURBAN MINISTERS ATTEND
Time Spent in Free Discussions at

The prayer meeting yesterday afternoon
was made of interest by the presence OF
the ministers from the suburban churches.
To those who attended the services were
truly refreshing. Much liberty was felt
and the time was fully occupied by free
expressions OF feeling and desires by per-
sons not before heard IN the central
prayer meeting. The desire of all was for
a greater outpou~ing OF the Holy Spirit.
The prayer service at p. m. was blessed
to those present. The praise service a

profitable attendance upon the sermon by
Rev Wareham at S ?. m. The speaker
chose as his text Gods call 20 Abraham

hunters, and he says: 1--WE know that
there is gold in the Cuban hills. We

a good vein and stake a paying claim on

as We reach Cuba. If We don't strike
it rich on San Juan Hill we will so back
