Health ORcer Wants Physicinna to
Make Reports Complete.
DR.. William C. Woodward, the District
health officer. has addressed a letter to the
physicians Of the District. inviting their
attention to the Importance of promptly
reporting to the health office all births
occurring in their practice, and asking their
cooperation with the office to secure full
and complete record of the births occurring
in the District.
Although an official record Of srch events

prove to be Of the utmost Importance, and
Notwithstanding the fact that the report
necessary for such record Is required by
law, physicians and others responsible not
infrequently fail to do their duty in this
respect. The frequency of such failures is
shown by the fact that while the gross
increase in the population during the past
fiscal year was $50, only 4,573 births were
reported. of which 2.4G6 We're from physi-
clans and 2,1OT from midwives- Your CO.

curing within this District, is respectfully
requested. The necessary blanks for this
purpose will be promptly forwarded to you

Success Doubtful for Boss Steun-
enberg.

The democrats get one important
ofhce-the governorship-while
the silver republicans get four
supreme judgeship, congressman,
secretary OF state auditor. 1t is
easy to infer from this division of
the places on the ticket that the
democratic convention sacrificed
everything for the sovernorship.
Mr.. Steunenberg was ambitious to
succeed himself, and having con-
troll OF the convention, sacrificed
the interests of the party and the
aspirations of other democrats to
further his own ambitions. His
administration has not been such
as to commend it to the favor of
The people, and, he was far from
beng the strongest man that could
have been chosen. 1t is extremely

more favorable conditions could

j. ). Bonham, charm an of the
Taylor convention, makes affidavit
to the fact that he appeared before
the conference committees Of the
democratic aud free silver parties
and there announced that if thew,
the democrats and silver republic
cans would unite with the Blake
wing of the populist party and put
up ticket, that the TAYLOR wing
would put up no ticket but SUD-
port the fusion nominees. even
though the said Taylor faction re-
celved no recognition on the ticket.
This proposition was rejected.
From this it is evident that the
two parties to the fusion were glad
to find any excuse for shutting
the populists out from the spells
OF fusion, reckoning on the fact
that in the disorganized state of
that party enough votes would
drift to the silver union to make
them certain of victory. But the
results III the state are doubtful
and the results in many counties
disastrous, and democratic party
leaders and their party press are
seeking to suppress or explain
away the disclosures made bv the
of the Bonham affidavit.
