Typhoid Fever In wenty
two Cities.

The Medical Record, tabulating the
typhoid fever record for the twenty
two largest American cities, finds that
in Brooklyn only 19 persons to 100000
of population die of this desease an
nually. In Manhattan and the Bronx
the deaths are 21 to the 100000.
These are the very lowest figures in
the list, the highest being these OF
Chicago, 65; Louisville, 72; Washing
ten, IS; Denver, r. and .Pittsburg, So
Typhoid is preventable disease
Its sources of propogation-water and
milk-are completely within the con-
troll Of municipal authorities, Such
few deaths from typhoid as do occur
in New York can be in large part ac-
counted for by the summer vacations
Contaminated country wells plant the
germs that produse the disease in an
exceedingly small proportion of New
York's population. In New York it.
self pure-water supply and an alert
milk inspection have eliminated this
disease from the category of maladles
to be feared.
Wherever there is a higher death
rate than ours from this cause it means

Above is a likeness Of Judge Rood
showing how lie looked when installed
into the Office of Probate Judge OF
Washington county and time has
dealt with the Judge so kindly that
the likeness viii do for him now-six
years later at the close of his term of
Office.
In passing from the Office Judge
Rood can do so with a feeling that
what he has done has been we'll done,
and that all the arduous work of the
responsible place has had his con-
science put into it. None are able to
gainsay that Judge Rood has made a
capable and painstaking officer. He
has never shrunk from the multifar-
ious duties of the position, nor has he
wavered from the path which his
sense of duty has lain out for him.
For time at least the Judge will
take rest from active affairs, but he
expects to continue with us, he hav-
ing many property interests here that
will occupy portion OF his time. In
the near future he may make an ex-
tended western tour, to occupy sever
al months time, seeing the country.
In the same breath We bid goodbye
TO Judge Rood in his official capacity,
we are glad to welcome and greet the

The Statutory Board Wants
Information.

Marietta Register: In your issue
of last evening, after a long attempt
ed defense of the Commissioners posi-
tion in the Court House matter, and
from gratuituous and unsolicited ad-
vice to whom you term the "Statua-
tory Board" as to HOW they should
proceed in their work, you publish
the following:
1.-THE resolution adopted is in no
sense surprise to those who have
kept an eye on the situation for the
past six months or longer 1t appears
to be the abortive elimination of a
plan long since made, and expected to
be carried through by political influ-
ence, of giving the work of drawing
the plans and specifications to the Co
lumbus firm named. The Commits
sfoners deserve to be supported in
their firm stand against the scheme.
We do not care to go into details of
the story now, hoping that the matter
may soon be adjusted for the best in
terests of the county, but may say
that We have it ready for publication. "
Will you not kindly at once, To-
NIGHT, give your readers the "details
CT the story" that you say you have
ready for publication? If the un-
dersigned, who have given much of
their time and best efforts towards
finding out and doing their duty
without expectation of pay or profit,
and with no fear in the least of what
you may publish, TRUTH OR 9TH
ERWISE, concerning their work, have
entered into a political conspiracy,
etc., as you intimate, the public ought
to know it. Let us have it at once.
Give us the TRUTH, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth, TAX
ing care to give FACTS only that you
can substantiate. AT the same time ii
would not be out OF place to tell your
readers If you know of any plan long
since made" or more recently made,
and expected to be carried through by
the aid of your valuable paper, of Civ
ing the work of drawing the plans to a
Cincinnati firm. Tell all you know,
let the result be what it will.

Meteor's Freak.

A loud explosion, that wrecked three
houses and cracked glass in adjoining
buildings, startled the residents of FL
mira shortly after o'clock Monday
evening. simultaneously with the ex-
plosion there was a rush, roar and
binding fash, which those who
saw it describe as ball of fire falling
out of clear sky. One of the wreck
ed buildings was owned by Henry
Watkins, of Plttsburg. and the glass
in 1t was broken to smithereens.
The noise attracted the police from
all parts of the district, and they at
once began searching for a dynamiter,
thinking that house had been wreck
ed.
There was, however. no sign of fire,
nor was there any smoke, and the po-
lice were Obliged to accept the state
ments OF those on the scene at the
time of the occurrence, that the dam
age had been caused by a falling met
cor.
During the excitement someone
turned in an alarm of fire and the ar
rival OF the department added to the
excitement. A search has been made
for the spot wher the meteor penetrat-
ed, but nothing can be found, and 1t is
the general impression that the eX-
plosion reduced the meteor to powder
dust.
The loss to Mr.. Watkins's house is
estimated at s1OO.-Blnghamton N.

What the people Of Kentucky Will
do TO redeem and elevate their state
cannot be foreseen. What the state
needs is a little more civilization
more regard for justice and human
life, less savagery, fewer revolvers
and knives, less sham chlvalry, and a
wholesome contempt for the methods
which prevail in certain so-called re-
publics OF Central and South America.
The present experience should con-
strain her enlightened citizens to come
together for Cancellation and to hasten
the day when Kentucky shall no long
er be known as "the dark and bloody
ground"

INGRAM VS.. SLAUGHTER.
Personal Difficulty over Operations
of Meathouse.

Atlanta. Jan. 23.-Dr. r. f. Ingram,
well known dentist, and Capt. Bradley
Slaughter, ex-chief of the detectives, had
a terrific personal encounter on Peach
tree street tonight.
DR.. Ingram and Capt. Slaughter are
partners in a meat house. DR.. Ingram nc
cused Slaughter of squandering the funds
and Slaughter invited him out of the city
10 settle the difficulty giving as a reason
for SO doing that ne had had too much
newspaper notoriety already. DR.. Ingram
accepted the challenge, and they started
to a livery stable to get a conveyance, the
mutual agreement being that the victor
was TO haul the other back TO town.
As they got in front of their place of
business, the argument became too hot for
further delay, and hostiities began at
once Both men were badly used up,
Slaughter being considerably bruised about
the head and nose. DR.. Ingram, it is said,
used brass knucks, and Slaughter tried
to use his knife. Just as the affray bid
fair to become fatal two policemen ar
rived and pulled them apart.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
Leben Was Left in a Boat and Then
Could Not BE Found.

N1illedgeville, Ga, Jan. 23.-Mr. F. W
Leben, while on fishing excursion at the
Oconee river yesterday, disappeared sud
denly and mysteriously, and, though
searching parties have worked faithfully
all day, in hopes of finding some trace
of the man, up to this hour nothing of
his whereabouts has been learned.
Mr.. Leben was accompanied on his trip
by Mr.. Iverson Barnes, who came TO the
city just at dark Monday evening to get
a lantern. When he returned to the river
he was unable to locate Mr.. Leben, and
after yelling and following the river banks
for some distance both ways, came back
TO the city and spread the alarm Parties
were organized early this morning, and
the river was dragged where Mr. Leben
was last seen, to no avail
The general opinion is that Mr.. Leben
fell with a heart affection, from which
ne suffered, and was either drowned or
fell PROSTATE in the boat and has been
taken down the river. AS soon as arrange
ments can be made parties will go down
the river in hopes of finding the boat
