Diptheria.

There are all kinds OF reports out re-
garding the diptehria situation, and no
doubt there is considerable exaggera-
ton, but there Is grave apprehension
among all the citizens, and this is not
to be questioned, as this disease is one
OF the most dangerous. The Register
yesterday Investigated the situation,
as best they could and found many
houses with cards tackled on them
and from the citizens the number OF
cases in the city ranged from thirty
to fifty-two. DR.. J. w. Darrah, health
officer, was called on, and the doctor
stated that now only twelve cases were
in the city and showed the report OF
the different physicians, reporting
same. When asked regarding the
number of cards he stated that the
law provided, that the card should re-
main on the house two weeks after the
patient had recovered, or died, and af-
ter the house had been fumugated.
That the cards did not indicate that
there was disease in the house. There
are number of houses now with cards
on which will soon be taken doW1.
OF the twelve cases now on hand, sew
eral will be discharged in few days.
In regard to deaths the record shows
five deaths since April. The do1t5r
also stated that one-third of the cases
had been children not eligible to school.
He also stated that he had placed
card on q house yesterday. where
child was sick with the disease, and
the physician had failed to report
same which is a violation of the law.
When asked why he did not call a
meeting of the Health Board? he said:
81 have not that power, the president
of the board has that power which is
Mayor Goodhue." Would you like a
board meeting? Certainly | would.
and would be glad of 1t. | am trying
to do all can to stamp out this dread
ed disease, and will be only to glad
when it is gone" DR.. Darrah was
deeply concerned and is kept busy
watching the present cases on hand.
1t was stated last evening by many
people that the physicians we're not re-
porting the cases to the health officer,
If this be true they should pc prose-
cuted, as no one can blame the health
officer, when lie does not know where
a case exists.
Mayor Goodhue should call meet
ing of the board. and the board should
fully investigate the situation. If they
do not want to meet, then let them re-
sign. The board has its regular meet

jackson huts and Prince Abruzzis nuts,
with provisions and coal for the three
men whom he lost in that neighborhood.
Here it was that Jackson found Nansen
after his journey over the ice. Yester-
day our artist was sitting by a rock,
sketchins, when polar bear came very
close to him, but he did not see it. He
WAS unarmed and was greatly surprised
to hear a shot and see the bear drop dead
near him. No one Is allowed to go in
boat or be ashore without a gun as wal
rus and bear are likely to pop out any
