DEATHS OF A YEAR
Annual Report of Health Officer
HieIscher.
A Low Death Rate and a Favorable
Showing on Contagious Diseases
Expenditures Reasonable.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Health Officer j. A. Hielscher has GEM
pleted the annual report of the board of
health for the year ending Dec. 31st last,
and it will be published in the same
pamphlet with the reports of the city en-
gineer and park superintendent. The
showing for the year is a favorable one,
in spite of the outbreak of smallpox a
year ago.
There were IA deaths during the year,
and on the basis of $4,000 population the
death rate was u, which is low pro-
portion.
The largest number of deaths was
caused by pulmonary tuberculosis, as
usual. There were fourteen deaths due
to the disease, or ten per cent of all the
deaths Measles came next with nine
deaths, while apoplexy claimed eight vic
Tins, pneumonia and broncho-pneumonia
each six, whooping cough and diphtheria
each five, appendicitis and cancer of the
stomach each four, and accidents, heart
failure, old age, labar pneumonia and
valvular disease of the heart each three.
A large number of other diseases claim
ed between one and two victims each.
A large proportion of the deaths were
those of old people. Thirty five died be-
tween age of sixty and eighty years,
while twelve had lived to be eighty years
old. Twenty-four died between the age
of forty and sixty, twenty-one between
twenty and forty years, seven between
ten and twenty years, thirteen between
five and ten years, and eighteen under
one year.
Of those who died. seventy four were
males and seventy were females. Two
were divorced, forty-nin were married,
sixty-nine were single, twenty-three
were widowed, and the social condition
of one is unknown.
Sixty-th of those who died were
born in Minnesota, thirty-two were born
in the United States, forty eight were
foreign born, and the birth place of one
is unknown.
There were ITO male children born and
100 female children. The birth rate of
Vic CICy was lIsO, WHICH,
per cent greater than the death rate.
Two sets of twins were born, there were
nine still births and two illegitimate
births.
There were l53 cases of smallpox, but
no deaths from that disease, forty cases
of scarlet fever with no deaths, thirty
three cases of diphtheria and five deaths,
fifteen deaths from consumption, one
from typhoid fever, nine from measles,
and five from whooping cough.
The expenditures of the department
consisted of $l999S for salaries of the
health officer, 1878 for salary of the
sanitary inspectors, $24575 for collecting
garbage, and $2,495.s0 for general ex-
pense, making total of $3,3l9.53 The
cost of the smallpox epidemic, for which
the city is to be reimbursed by the coun-
ty, was $2,5l095. This reduces the
total expense to be borne by the city to
$SO8.58

GOT TOP NOTCH.
c. S. Thurston of hudson interviewed
at South ST. Paul.

From Saturdays Daily.
The South St. Paul Daily Reporter
recently contained the following notice
of well known Blue Earth county man:
Among the whole-souled stockmen
patronizing today's hog market was G.
5. Thurston of Judson. Mr.. Thurston
accompanied consignment of car of
hogs and to his lot fell the honor of OBJ
tanning the top price of the day. A re-
preventative of The Reporter had the
pleasure of talk with Mr.. Thurston
and found him in happy mood. The
shipment included 20 head, 65 of
which averaged 253 pounds and topped
the market at $6.70. They ran very
largely to barrows and showed that they
were well bred. The five hogs thrown
out, averaged 100 pounds and sold for
1920. Mr.. Thurston is one of the largest
shippers from his part of the state, hav-
ing marketed over 100 cars of stock dur
ing the past year and half. He was
loud IN his praises of the South st. Paul
market and said that the hogs he had
here today sold fully l0@l5c higher than
he had anticipated and that the price
paid was, in his opinion, every cent they
would have brought in Chicago. Mr.
Thurston finds it rather difficult mat
ter to pick up good, finished hogs, he
thinks there are fully as many hogs on
feed in his section as last year.

chance, and when the chance is offered
they will cling to it the most tenaciously
Their hoplessness gives much to contend
with. Mrs. Booth said that among her
most hopeful boys, doing the best on the
outside, were old timers of whom it was
said by judges and officers that nothing
could be done with them
There are those who have committed
offenses, but who could not be called
criminal in any sense. There is a great
difference between taking money to al
leviate suffering and taking it to squan-
der ON the race tracks or in debauchery.
Mrs. Booth related the stories of the
downfall of several men, who did not
have criminal intent, and told how they
had been saved. She closed with a plea
for the exercise of more humanity and
the holding out of a helping hand to those
who have fallen, but who are seeking to
rise
Mrs. Booth made plea for financial
aid for the three institutions which af-
ford homes for eX-convicts until they can
find employment. She secured several
subscriptions to the maintenance fund at
one dollar month. She spoke for two
hours
The next entertainment on the course
will be war lecture by Major General

HEROIC DARING
Government Life : Saving Crew
Receive Gold Medals.

From the thirty-first day of October to
the eleventh day of November, 1888, the
crew of the u. S. life-saving station at
Cleveland, Ohio, saved twenty seven
men and two women from vessels thrown
ashore by the storms that lashed the
waters of Lake Erie. To each of the
nine men in the crew the government
gold medal &c for heroic daring" was
awarded.
One of the crew was Chas. L. Learned.
While attempting to get line to dis
tressed vessel, the life-boat capsized and,
when the boat rolled over, he was caught
beneath it. Finally he was washed out
by the waves and drifted ashore where
helping hands revived him. The other
members of the life crew made their way
to the shore and hurried for the beach ap-
paratus. In about one hour and half
they returned and Learned had SO far
recovered that he made his way to the
scene of the wreck and took his place
with the crew. All hands were saved,
but Learned IS career as life-saver was
ended. In relating the story, he said
that rheumatism quickly set in as re-
suit of the cold and exposure. This was
complicated with neuralgia. 81 had
such pains in my back that could hardly
move" he says, "and the least excite
ment would cause my heart to beat
violently. I had to be very careful Of
my diet and suffered much distress after
eating. I could not sleep. my head
ached, I was all rundown and dis
couraged. Having been disabled in the
government service, Ireceived something
over six hundred dollars in addition to
my gold medal"
Mr.. Learned is now a prosperous far
mer at Sandy Creek, N. Y, and the story
of his restoration to activity is best told
as he tells it. stAbout four years ago, !"
he says, ST saw DIR. Williams Pink
Pills mentioned in newspaper. tried
them and firmly believe that if had not
I should be in my grave now. The pills
began to help me in less than week.
Not only did they benefit my rheuma-
tism, but they built up my strength, so
that ]. was soon able to do a bigger day 6
work than in years before. The insom-
MIA disappeared and sleep was sound and
refreshing"

ATTENTION TO FANCY STOCK.
Farmers Double the Number OF Herds
of BIOOded Cattle.

L believe that there have been more
herds of pure bred cattle, sheep and hogs
established in Minnesota within the last
three years than during all the other
years in the history of the state" said
Prof. Thomas Shaw yesterday. He
stated that at present the interest of
Minnesota farmers in pure-bred stock is
greater than it ever was before, and new
herds are being established all over the
state The interest is not confined
wholly to the three kinds of stock, for
there is great interest in the heavy types
of horses.
The Minnesota farmers have turned
their attention in cattle breeding chiefly
to the milk and beef strains, and several
herds of Red Polls have been established
this winter. As an evidence that the
interest in pure cattle is not confined to
the sections of the state where dairying
and stock raising have become great in
dustries, Prof. Shaw mentioned that one
herd of Red Polls has been established
within the city limits of Duluth, cor
ner of the state which heretofore has
paid little attention to stock raising.
Prof. Shaw believes that the breeding
of heavy horses will add greatly to the
wealth of the Minnesota farmers, especi-
ally if the horses are large enough for
the heavy teaming required in the large
cities. There is always a good demand
for heavy draft horses which have the
breeding to give them good style and ac-
tion.
The state still lacks some important
breeds of stock. just now there is a
large Dakota demand for breeding rams
of the Delaine and Rambouillet breeds
of sheep. The Dakota ranchers wish to
cross their focks with fne-wool stock,
and they would pay good prices for
breeding animals of the breeds named,
but there are none in the state. Mime
sofa breeders could have the Dakota
trade if they had the sheep.
Minnesota breeders of fine swine are
now favoring the bacon breeds. The
Yorkshires and Tamworths are coming
into favor, and several herds have been
established recently.-St. Paul Pioneer
