GRIM REAPER BUSY
Number of Deaths in February Much
. Larger Than in Febru-
ary, 1902.
Total Number Was 233-0f These
Al Died of Pneumonia
Alone.

There were more deaths in Minneapolis
last month than for the month of Feb
ruary for several years. The total num-
Der was 233 as against 123 for last year
and 1S4 for 1901. Pneumonia alone was
responsible for Al deaths. The doctors
say the unusually damp and changeable
weather was probably the cause Of so
prevalent, it has had fatal termination
in only two cases. Two deaths resulted
from typhoid fever as opposed to six
deaths from the same cause for the same
month last year.
March promises to make a record In
the death rate. Already with more cases
to hear from and but a third OF the
month gone 70 deaths have been reported
at the health office. This does not indi-
cate any great increase in the prevalence
Of the diseases commonly called conta-
gious. over last month, however, as the
records show that large percentage OF
the deaths have been due to old age
and consumption.
An examination of the monthly death
rate for. the last two years does not in
dictate that any one month Of the year
has claim to the greatest average NOR
tality, unless it is March. The greatest
total is that of March, 1901, when there
were 263 deaths. The prevalence Of ty-
phoid at that time is held responsible for
|
1902, was col. April 1902, stands second
with $50 deaths. and January, 1901, Is
third, with 233 deaths.
AS a rule, January, February and
March are looked upon as the months II
which mortality among people Of all ages
is apt to be the greatest, pneumonia anc
kindred diseases being generally worse
| during those months.
There were twenty-six deaths from ty
phoid and thirty-five from pneumonia dur
ing March, 1901. In the same months TO-
1902 thirty-six deaths were due to pneu
monia. Pneumonia was about half a.
prevalent for January and February o
those years. Consumption, diphtheria
typhoid fever and pneumonia were TIL
chief causes Of death during those month
for 1901, 1902 and 1908.
The following table shows the numbe
Of deaths per month for the fifteen month
beginning with January, 1901, and end1n
| with March 10 1909.

This arrangement is of great value to the
singers, for by it each has an opportunity
to rest the voice after one performance.
It is to be the policy Of the management
in this engagement to take care of the
line first and then to lay out the best pos
sible seats for those who are unable to
come to the box office in person for their
places. From the present outlook 1t
would appear that the engagement is 60
ing to be as great a success from the
standpoint Of the box office a 8 it Is certain
to be from that Of an artistic one. The
arrangement Of the repertory presents all
of the favorite composers, Bizet. Balfe,
Gounod and Flowtow being each repre-
scented by one opera and Verdi and Wag-
ner by two. The company will come to
Minneapolis direct from Kansas City by
special train, and it takes ten cars to
move the organization. The composition
of the train will be six baggage cars, two
Pullman sleepers, one day coach and one
dining car.

RALPH CASE FINDINGS
In Exonerating the Engineer, the
Drainage Board Compliments
Him Handsomely.

After a weeks delay, the state drainage
commission has finally made public it's
findings in the Ralph investigation which,
as previously stated in II h j o u n a !.
exonerate the Crookston engineer from
wrong doing. The commissions inquiry
was confined to Mr.. Ralph's dealings with
the state, and the statement of the case
given out is as follows:
"A few weeks ago the attention of the
state drainage commission was directed
by an affidavit made by E. B. Scribner,
of Crookston, to the accounts and vouch-
ers filed with the state auditor for moneys
expended by George A. Ralph, chief en-
gineer for the commission, and while no
charges had been made to the commission
against Mr.. Ralph, the commission deemed
it proper to make an examination OF the
state drainage work and the accounts and
records thereof.
Some publicity having been given by
the newspapers to this inquiry and in JUS
tice to Mr.. Ralph and to all parties con-
cerned. we deem it proper to make the
following statement concerning the mat
ter:
LAS a result of this inquiry the COM
mission find:
''Frst-That construction work on state
bitches under the supervision of Mr. Ralph
has been performed in an efficient and
economical manner.
"Second-That all amounts due con-
tractors have been paid directly to them.
'Third-That the sums paid Mr.. Ralph
| have been his salary, amounting to $3.50
| per month, together with certain small
items for personal expenses and expendi-
| lures incurred by him in surveying and
experimenting state drainage work.
| with reference to this division of the
! inquiry the above mentioned affidavit of
E. B. Scribner had been submitted, In
which it was stated that the signature of
| Mr.. Scribner on a certain receipt for $50
which had been filed by Mr.. Ralph with
the state auditor was not genuine. Mr..
Scribner and Mr.. Ralph were asked to ap-
pear before the commission. Mr. Ralph
at that time produced the original receipt
for the $50 paid to Mr.. Scribner and the
signature thereon was admitted by Mr.
Scribner to be genuine. 1t appears that
MI. Ralph had by mistake attached a copy
of the original receipt to the voucher
which he had filed.
"Other items Of expenditure were taker
up and considered and Mr.. Ralph present
ed affidavits of the parties to whom none.
was paid and numerous bank checks b!
which money had been paid, and from
consideration of all matters presented thu
commission came to the conclusion tina
while Mr.. Ralphs bookkeeping and &C
! counting methods had not been accurate
or systematic, he had accounted for al
the money he had drawn from the state

MIR. FRYE REPLIES
Says Paperhangers Are Not Seeking 10
Boom Business by Sanitary
MeaSureS,

c.. T. Frye, business agent OF the Pa
perhangers' union, repudiates Health
Commissioner P. M. Halls assertion that
the union is seeking to boost its business
in asking that an ordinance be enacted
requiring property owners to scraps and
repair the interior walls of all houses in
which contagious diseases have existed.
Mr. Frye says that the need of@such an
ordinance in the interest Of public health
has been recognized in Chicago. Phila-
delpl1ia. and New York, and that it is no
more an infringement on personal lib
erty than compulsory vaccination. Dis
ease germs. he says, are constantly being
bred in houses whose walls are covered
with many layers of filthy paper.

CHILDREN NARROWLY ESCAPE
Fire In Home In Which They Had Beer

sefeoneIv

Two small children of Mrs. j. G. Wen
dell, residing on the third floor at A East
man avenue, had a narrow escape from
death by fire last night. They had been
left alone and the door had been locked.
A fire started on the second floor and rap
idly spread to the floor above. A. A.
Cunfield learned that the children were in
the room above, forced the door open and
carried them to safety although they were
nearly suffocated by the smoke.
The origin of the fire is unknown and it
was not extinguished until the building
had been damaged to the extent of $500.

The Total From All the State

$56,311.48.

There is much desire to know the pres
ent standing of the county funds being
raised for the relief of the famine suffer-
ers Of the Baltic provinces, and a sum-
mary has been made up of them to the
close OF business March 10. The sum-
| ,oarv ia a. follows.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1903-03-11

In addition to these amounts there have
been sent in from the counties various
sums designated for some particular To-
cality, and as these are not at the free
disposition Of the state committee they
have been kept in separate accounts and
not credited directly to the counties
sending them. There is now in these spe
cial funds total Of s3,623.2O, of which
$1.315.9S is for the Swedes; $1,000 for the
Norwegians and $710.S3 for the Firms.
1t would be entirely unfair to judge the
charitable spirit or the work done in any
county by the county reports, for some
counties having little in the state fund
have raised and sent through other
sources large amounts, and it was deemed
unwise and unnecessary for the county
committee to organize thoroughly and
make regular canvasses.
