Mortality Statistics in Indiana for
Month of August.

The State Board of Health issued its
monthly health bulletin yesterday. showing
the sickness and mortality in this State for
the month of August. The total number of
deaths reported for the month was 1882. a
decrease of 23O over July. The death rate
for August was 1877 and for July AS.
There were more cases of diarrhoeal dis
eases than any other kind during both July
and August. The deaths from typhoid for
August were 137 as compared with II for
July. In August of 1900 there were three
more deaths from this disease than during
last month.
Arranged according to important ages the
August deaths were: Under one year, 6S1;
from one to five inclusive, 34S; sixty-five
and over. 621. During July these deaths
were, respectively, COS, 800 and ESQ.,
Ten more persons died of pneumonia in
August than in July. the number for Aug
ust being sixty-three and for July fifty
three. Diphtheria also showed an increase
of virulence. sixteen dying from it last
month and fourteen in July.
tuberculosis takes second rank to diar-
rhoeal diseases in malignancy, having killed
S67 in August. Cancer lost its grip some
what in August, the deaths being siXty-nine
as compared with 112 for July.
lOlenl deaths were met Dy 40 pSOple III
July and by l32 in August. There was a
large decrease in deaths in public institu-
tiCnS last month, the number being ninety
six as against 2lS for July.
The report for August does not vary from
preceding reports in showing more deaths
in cities than in the rural districts. The
urban mortality for the month was 1,l5O
rate OF 10. and the rural mortality was
7S2, a rate of 1875. Typhoid fever was
the only disease that was more ma
lgnant in the country than in cities. The
State Board argues from this fact that
farmers should learn to supply them
posal of sewage. Until this lesson is
learned" says the secretary persons living
in the country must expect TO continue TO
suffer from typhoid fever. Cities also have
obviously much to learn in the line of pre-
Vention. Diphtheria increased > per cent.
in August over July. In September can
confidently predict a further increase in
this disease, since the schools open this
month and children who have the malady
in mild form and who are consequently less
susceptible, will mingle with more suscepti-
bic companions in the schools and by
states, pencils, drinking cups and other
means transmission will occur Medical in
Spection of school children would very
greatly decrease the number of cases and
deaths from communicable diseases. This
inspection would also lessen scarlet fever
whooping cough, measles and other con-
| tagious diseases of Juveniles"
There were 100 cases of smallpox during
August with no deaths. The cases were

The Election of Charles A. Mcguire
Would Mean Continuance of
Taggart Administrations.
DEMOCRACY is RENOWNED
w. ALLISON SWEENEY HANDS HIS
RESIGNATION TO TAGGART.
He Is Convinced that the Democratic
Party VIII Do Nothing for
the COIored Man.

A well-attended meeting of representa-
tive South Side Democratic citizens was
held last night to protest against the Tag
CART machine and the candidacy of Charles
A Mcguire for mayor. The following res
olutions were adopted:
whereas, Under the present so-called
leadership of the Democratic party IN the
city of Indianapolis the wishes of the great
mass of Democratic voters nave Deen re-
peatedly ignored, and the principles or the
party nave been prOstituted TO build up an
organization based on selnshness, 1or pri-
waite gain, and,
Whereas. The machine thus built up has
grown so arbitrary and arrogant and has
employed methods entirely undemocrauc
in debating TO the great mass OF Demo-
cratic voters that forbearance has ceased
TO be a virtue; and,
Whereas, The nomination of Charles
Mcguire. who is closely identified with this
dictatOrial organization, for the hlSh OF
fee of mayor of the city of Indianapolis
means a continuance of these obnoxious
and undemocratic methods, now, there
fore, be il
Resolved That the situation demands a
candidate for the office of mayor whose
fealty to Democratic principles is unques-
toned. and whose character is free from
even a shadow of reproach.
Resolved, That IL is the sense OF this
meeting that such a man, as the present
emergency demands, is to be found In the
person of Charles A. Gauss. For more than
a quarter of century he has been engaged
in business in this city; as member of
the Common Council Of the city OF In
dianapolis he displayed rare talent ana
sterling integrity In that body as a mem
Der of the committee on railroads and pub
lie lighting his voice was always heard
and his vote always recorded In the IN
terests of the people Of the city.
Resolved. That we pledge ourselves 10
work to secure his name upon the ballot
at the coming city election, on oct 8, ana
that we urge the voters of the city of In
dianapolis. particularly those of the Demo-
cratic party who believe in clean govern
ment. and who are tired or ring rule' 10
sign a petition to that end.
Thomas Marley presided over the meet
ing and J. r. Franz acted secretary.

no bridge of signs to stand upon and the
palaces and prisons were no more. but
over the charred earth signs in plenty

means were creeping to the sea. The
pines in Riverside were singing a Mis-
erere Mel Domino A khamsin wind blew
over the city, the dust of desolation. Men
wept, women moaned and children walled,
but the stars came out with their wonted
brilliancy and the hyacinths drifted on
the bosom of the majestic river, outward
to the ocean, oblivious to the misery they
were passing over the vast fiame-swept
section but one thing remained to tell of
the touch of the hand of civilization The
Confederate monument. AS l gazed upon
the bronze soldier on top of the marble
shaft | smelt the battle smoke and / saw
the form of Pickett on the crest of Gem
etery ridge, flame wreathed and thunder
shook, defying death, laughing at destruc-
ton and revelling in the carnival of an

EARLY CLOSING PROGRAMME.
The Agreement Among Naval stores
Firms.

Attention has been called to the wording
of the petition signed by naval stores buy
ers and factors for early closing on Sat
urdays. Here it is:
With a view to closing our respective
places as soon as practicable after 2
o'clock on Saturdays during the heated
season, we, the undersigned naval stores
merchants hereby agree not to trade after
the above named hour on Saturdays from
May to Oct. l."
This had been construed by many clerks
into an agreement to close at 2 O'Clock.
LAS soon as practicable thereafter is
the hour, however, and with some firms
this means from 6 to o'clock. One man
said yesterday that it meant 6:45 o'clock
in his office. But the general under
standing is that as soon as clerk fin
ishes his work Saturday afternoons he is
at liberty to quit for the day. Those who
signed the petition did not mean to per-
init their clerks to quit the offices early
with desk full of work behind them.
