The City Board of Health held an
adjourned meeting last night, Drs.
Ross, Henderson and Fay being pres
ent.
DR.. Nichols made his monthly report
as Health Officer, which has been pub
lished.
DR.. Fay said he had not reported his
cases of typhoid fever for the last
month, as he understood the sense of
the board that no such report need be
made.
DIR. Ross said that the board wished
the physicians to report their cases,
but as some do not do so, making the
reports incomplete, it would not publish
the cases reported. The board, how
ever, wished physicians to report, in
order that the cause might be investi-
gated and the board might find out
what kind of water had been used by
the patients.
Sanitary Inspector eHrr made his re-
port Of the work done by him through
the month, showing that it had been
very busy one.
DR.. Mcgowan, Milk and Meat Inspec-
tor, made his report, showing that he
had during the last month seized 5OO
pounds of tuberculous meat, 40 pounds
of tainted meat, 40 pounds of vege-
tables, 30 pounds Of tainted fish and 10
gallons of milk. He had investigated
forty-five cases of typhoid fever with
regard to the water drank, and, as far
as he had been able to ascertain, only
one of the patients had used filtered or
boiled water exclusively.
A communication was read from the
City Board of Education, asking the
6 hot
clear the water of disease germs.
DR.. Henderson, in answer to ques-
ton, said he knew a porcelain filter
would exclude disease germs, as it is
used in culture work. He had read the
statements of bacteriologists that
certain filter would exclude fever
germs. He had tried it and found that
some germs passed through, but the
filter was not in good order. He was
willing. however, to take the risk, as
he used that kind and had had no
trouble.
Drs. Ross and Fay had doubts if any
filter in use would prevent disease
germs from passing through. They
both, however, favored the use Of we'll
water from properly protected wells as
safe.
DR.. Fay thought dairymen should be
instructed not to allow their cows to
drink river water, or at least that they
should not wash their utensils in river
water.
The Committee on Infectious Diseases
reported in answer to the question or
the Board Of Education that it had not
been able to thoroughly investigate the
efficiency of the different filters, and,
therefore, did not wish to give an Opln-
ion on the subject, but thought that
good well water was safe.
The Milk Inspector recommended
that the result of the milk tests made
of milk from the various dairies be
posted in some conspicuous place.
where the people could read it. On
motion of DR.. Fay the recommenda-
ton was adopted.

that when the chain gang matter was
being discussed on Tuesday Mr.. Curtis
did not say-as reported in these COL
umns yesterday-that he had objected
to the appointment of this third man,
though the reporter SO understood him.
Mr.. Curtis says it was the fourth man
to whom he referred
Mr.. Jenkins, in voting to allow the
Smith demand said the Sheriff had no.
titled the board Of his appointment Of
Mr.. Smith, and referred to the section
of the law which authorized him to do
so. Sheriff Johnson was not satisfied
with some of the other overseers, and
had selected a deputy Of his own to
look after the prisoners, in the inter
est of his department He (Jenkins)
did not think it would be fair to re-
fuse to allow the salary of his regu-
larly appointed deputy.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said the Sheriff
should have notified the board when
he first appointed Smith, and not wait
until this time. The reason he didn't
do it was because he had this man on
his hands, and wanted to make a place
for him.
Mr.. Jenkins defended the Sheriff from
this irnputation. He did not believe
the county officers We're. dishonest, nor
that any Of them would seek to make
extra places for friends at the expense
Of the people. There had been no meet
ing of the board since the Sheriff ap-
pointed Mr. Smith

mand, and so did brennan McLaugh-

it.

STRUCK FROM The SHOULDER
SUPERVISOR CURTIS KNOCK
OUT YESTERDAY.
Chaingang Guards, Veterinary In
spector and Game Warden
All Laid Out.

During a lull in the proceedings of
the Board of Supervisors yesterday Mr..
Curtis arose and addressed the Chair,
saying that he was tired Of hearing
at every session near the end Of the
fiscal year that the funds were out Of
money He wished at that time to
make a motion that would, if agreeable
to the board, help TO tide over the
present emergency by saving to the
county 1915 per month.
He therefore moved that the chain
gang. the services of the County Game
Warden and of the County Veterinary
be dispensed with from the 11th day Of
June (next Saturday, until the 1st day
of September.
Mr. Curtis said he had not a word to
say against any Of the men who would
be affected by his motion, If carried;
but there viii be no money with which
to pay the salaries. and he would re-
fuse to vote for any Of the demands
for such services.
Supervisor Mclaughlin said that,
owing to the condition matters are in,
the board had to do something, and for
that reason he would second the mo-
tion.
Supervisor Jenkins expressed a regret
that the motion had not been made
some nanths ago, before the money
had given out However. it was bet
ter late than never.
The roll was called, and Curtis Nc
Laughlin and Jenkins voted aye, and
brennan no. The latter thought action
should have been deferred until Super
visor Morrison could be present.
Mr.. Mclaughlin then moved that the
demand Of Deputy Sheriff F. ], Smith
for 500 as Chain gang officer for the
month of May. be rejected.
Mr. Curtis said he had not thought
the fourth man necessary to oversee
the chain-gang while working outside
the city, and so informed Sheriff john
son when he appointed Mr. Smith. He
considered three men sufficient. The
third man. put on by Chairman Morri-
son. was a good man, and had served
in that capacity before. Though of
the same name, he (Curtis) wished to
say, in justice to Mr.. Morrison who
is absent that the latter's appointee is
not a relative of the Chairman, as
many had supposed.
On this connection it should be stated

roprteen Millions Left to Charity.

An eminent clergyman, member of many
benevolent associations, has prepared
comparative tables showing the amount
Of money left for charitable or benevolent
purposes by testators throughout the
tinted States during the past three years.
He finds that the bequests for 1897 are
81 900 600 in excess of those of 1896. In the
former year they were upward of S13, 900.
600 in 1887 more than sl4 100000. Benefi-
cence has other forms than that of money.
Great remedies are among the most prec-
ious legacies bequeathed to mankind.
Prominent among these is Hostetter $

for and preventive of malaria which
often battles other curatlVes. Equally EN-
