General Passenger Agent Galloway, Of

the time the 500 cut the rate, the tariff

that time and decentralization resulted
Galloway finally bringing the situation to

Efforts have been made to secure the

|K0CH's GOOD WORK St. PAUL STIRRED UP
Consumption Less Deadly From Be-
ing Known to Be Infectious.
DEATH RATE INCREASES HERE
Larger American Cities Show a De.
crease In Number OF Deaths
From the Mnlady.

B. 4 .
Mortality reports. issued by the health
departments OF the larger American cities,
show that deaths from consumption have
steadily decreased since the discovery by
Professor Koch of Berlin that the disease
Is INFECTIOUS. Like reports from abroad
show similar conditions, and in many cit
les the decrease has been remarkable.
Minneapolis, however, is an exception to
the rule. The mortality from consump-
tlon shows slight increase, notwithstand-
ing the efforts that are now being made to
overcome its infection.
The Minneapolis death rate from con-
sumption is small. but it is increasing in
stead OF decreasing. In 1891 the rate per
thousand OF population was ia. Last
year IT; was 1,22. This is small increase,
yet consumption has stood first in the list
OF fatal diseases on the Minneapolis rec
ords In every year but one of the last de-
cade.
The figures for New York, where the
death rate is much higher than here, show
substantial decrease. In 1881, prior to
Dr. Koch's discovery, the percentage Of
deaths from consumption was 4.27 per
thousand. In 1901. 1t was $50. The aver
age rate is about LAO.
DR.. Edmund Smith says that the slight
increase in the Minneapolis rate Is only
what might be expected. He believes it is
due only to the fact that the city Is grow
ing older. Consumption, he says, has it's
origin usually in old houses where sani-
-tary conditions are poor
In New York Jacob Riis, assisted by
other reformers, has done much to better
conditions in the tenement districts and
to Improve sanitary conditions throughout
the city. These improvements, Dr. Smith
believes, have been largely responsible fol
the reduced death rate from consumption
although he says too that modern methods
Of treatment, founded upon Dr. Koch's
discoveries, have had much to do with
limiting the spread of the disease.

He had also picked up few ideas around
the South St. Paul stockyards. Two
westerners each agreed to give Joe a
ranch job. but failed to provide transpor-
tation so Joe decided to ride a horse to
the land that he dreamed Of The best
saddle horse in Charles Hoffman's livery
stable, near Joe's home, was at his dis
posal Monday morning. So he arrayed
himself in a Pawnee Bill outfit and start
ed west He told boy friends whom he
met on Wabasha street that he would
buy rifle when he hit the prairies The
boys reported his spectacular departure
to Heinzelman, ST., and the authorities Of
neighboring towns were notified. when
Joe rode into Northfeld, Tuesday, small
boys told him the police were looking for
him. He promptly turned the other way
and rode to Rosenlount, where he gave
himself up. His father brought him home
yesterday.
