DEMOCRATIC CROWD
Invitation Is to Be Pressed for

Special to The Globe
SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Feb. 21.-Local
Democrats, as we'll as citizens in gen.
eral, are greatly interested in the meet
ing to be held at Huron next Wednes-
day night by the. Democratic state
central committee for the purpose Of
selecting the time and place for hold
ing the Democratic state convention
Louis convention.
Sioux Falls proposes to make an ag-
gressive fight with the object of cap
turing the convention for this city, and
will have a good delegation Of hust1ing
citizens at the committee meeting for
the purpose OF presenting Sioux Falls
claims and capturing the plum for
their city.
Among the prominent Sioux Falls
men who will attend the committee
meeting in the interest of this city will
be eX- Mayor B. II. Lien, John A. Bow
Ter, ex-chairman of the Democratic
state committee; Stephen Donahoe, a
wheelhorse Of the party: John Emmke
and II. M. Jones. president of the Bust
ness Mems league.
While nothing is known for a GER
tainty regarding the situation, 1t is
understood that Sioux Falls will have
practically the solid backing OF the
Black Hills members Of the state COM
mittee. With support which has been
assured from other portions of the
state there is little doubt that Sioux
Falls will be declared the winner IN the
contest for the convention.
This convention will without ques-
ton be one of the most important ever

Statistics for Last Year Make

to the Thousand.
1903 DEATH RATE.
St. Paul, per 1000 inhabitants. 8
Minneapolis, per 1000 inhabitants g


The healthiest city in the world is st.

That was fact year before last and
earlier; it was also fact last year; and
visitors to the worlds fair at ST. Louis

The pre- eminent salubrity of ST. Paul
atmosphere and environment will be set
forth by Health Commissioner Ohage in
his annual report, to be submitted to
Mayor Smith this week. The commits
sioner has retarded the preparation of his
report in order to get full statistical re-
turns for last year from the sanitary au-
thorities of other cities.
And I haveasfound,' said DR.. Ohage
last evening, that once more our city is
the healthiest in the world The death
rate last year was only s per LOCO inhab-
itants. Many cities that are considered
very healthy have a death rate as large
again as ours.
Minneapolis Claims Next Place.
"The next healthiest city is Minneapo
lis, which reports nine deaths to the
thousand. But it's doubtful whether that
estimate is correct; it probably should be
higher. For Minneapolis has reduced her
death rate by magpifying her population.
That is she has assumed that her popu-
lation has increased about $4,000 since
1900, when the federal census gave her
203, 900 inhabitants. We have been satisfied
to add II 900 as our growth in three years,
or about one-half the increase added by
Minneapolis, though it's not at all likely
that such a difference actually existed.
In 1900 the census gave us. 1853, 900, which
1 increased to 100000 for last year. 1t
was on that basis that our death rate
went as low as eight to the thousand If
I'd made the estimated population 10000
our rate would have been about seven
and one-half.

How to Keep Furs.

Furs need considerable care even
when in use, and many people attend
conscientiously to them in the sum-
mer and yet put them away anyhow
as long as they expect to put them on
tomorrow. This is responsible for
much damage to the pelt. A fur coat
that has been in the rain should be
shaken and hung over a chair for an
hour or two and then put away, with
tissue paper between the folds and in
the sleeves. Sealskin especially suf-
fers from being crushed. The skin is
apt to get creased or wrinkled. and
then the hair will soon wear off.
Furs are best kept on a shelf with a
piece Of camphor in the corner. They
must be shaken periodically to get rid
of the dust, and some furs may be gen
tly brushed with a soft brush The
slightest tear in the skin of fur coat
should be mended instantly, and all
fur garments should be inspected con-
stantly to see how they are wearing.
