FUMlGATE THE CARS.
DIR. Crunbine Tells Why It should
Be Done.

The state board of health is asking
for much needed legislation for the
protection of the public health a
bill, which was drawn by the state
board of Health, has been presented
in both houses, and has a fair show
to pass, as the only objections to it's
passage would be by the railroad
lobby. The bill provides for the fumi-
cation of all passenger coaches on
railroads running through Kansas.
DR.. Crumbine, secretary of the
board, says that he has evidence of a
number of cases of smallpox trans
ported from one town to another dur
ing the past month, and that one case
came before his personal notice. Il
saw a man on a train tive Salina
and Lincoln. Neb.," said DR.. Crum-
bine this morning, who was just re-
covering from d case of smallpox. and
was still in a contagious condition. He
was not fit to be out of quarantine,
but 1 learned that he had Travelled
several hundred miles. Last week a
lady left Topeka for the western part
of h state. She was heavily yelled,
to hide the fact that she had a bad
case of smallpox. 1t is only natural
that anyone wishes to go home when
they get sick, but some effort should
be made to protect the travelling pub
lie. Our bill provides for the fumiga-
ton of all cars at the terminal points
from which the trains start, with the.
exception of local trains, which reach
their destination within "A hours of
the starting time. They should be
fumigated at least once a week. or
at such times as designated by the
board of health. We contend that the
railroads should be in favor of his
measure, as the to the pub
lie of saftey in travelling would in
crease business. There has been no
effort on our part to sneak his bill
through, as we have sent copies of the
bill to the attorneys of all the rail-
roads"
The prevalence of contagious dis
eases in the state is shown ~ the bul-
letin sent out this month to the county
health officers 1t shows the follow
ing total cases of contagious diseases:
Diphtheria, 2T1 cases, IS deaths; scar
let fever. 222 cases, Is death; small
pox, 426 cases, 1 death.

It was not generally known that Mr..

extend to you my hearty c~ongratula-

having Il man of your ancestry and

senator from Missouri since the close of
the reconstruction period. Your father
served in congress. You were born in
Missouri and you came of tina German
stock which in 1861 saved Missouri to

heartily and beg to remain, with re-

a herd of sheep down the bed of the
Arkansas river from Lamar to the
mouth of Pawnee creek, a distance of
500 miles, and 1 found no water in the
river except in rare instances" The
statement was made by J. o. Albert Of
Berthcud on the witness stand in the
Kansas-Colorado water suit Saturday
afternoon Albert was the star Wit
ness put on the stand for Colorado.
The state gained a great point through
his testimony, amply proving thai the

What did you do?" asked Judge

THEY USED RAZORS.
Two Young White Men Have Bloody
Fight at Tecumseh.

AS the result of a drunken row at
Tecumseh Saturday night, two of the
participants, John Smith and Frank
McKenna, were badly cut. The row
occurred Saturday night at about IL
o'clock, and was the outcome of a key
Fe depot platform. In addition to the
two men mentioned, two other Tecum-
sch persons were mixed in with the
celebration.
Fired by bad liquor, Smith and
McKenna, who are ordinarily friends,
started in to bicker; from words the
quarrel grew into blows. Ia of the
men picked UP rocks and started in
to pummel each other, later resorting
to razors. Smith was able to defend
himself better and onfy received a
deep cut on his left arm and another
on his temple. McsSenna, however,
was pretty badly cut up about the
face. One long cut extended from
his cheek to back of the lobe of his
ear, another bad wound was inflicted
on his temple backward, while nu-
merous cuts were sustained over the
entire face. Chas. Williams, the night
operator at the station, jumped in and
managed to separate the men and
barely escaped being cuS up himself.

NEGRO DOCTOR MUST GO

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The acting
commissioner of pensions, Mr.. Daven-

The designations of DR.. McClane
and DR.. Smiley, the other two mem
bers Of the board, have been received
by the pension bureau, and no action
has beer taken on them. They will
not be acted upon, pending the receipt
of the resignation of Dr. Hill, it being
the belief of officers of the pension
bureau that Hill Will send his resigna-
ton and the other viii then withdraw
theirs. The officers say that when Hill
was appointed the officials here did
not know of his color. n neither did
Atkins, who recommended him.
The pension bureau justihes its &C
ton by saying hat there have been
numerous petitions from the old SOL
diers in the vicinity who are obliged
to go to Boonville to take the physical
examinations, asking for DR.. Hills re-
moval.
If DR.. Hill should decide that he
does not wish to tender his resigna-
ton, and that lie sees no good reason
Why he should after being appointed,
a sharp issue would be raised.

STEP IN RIGHT DIRECTION.
The Proposed Laboratory Law Is Ex-
planned in Detail.

To the Editor of the State Journal.
The bill which provides for the
opening of the laboratory of the state
board of health to all physicians of
the state, for the free examination of
specimens from suspected cases of
diphtheria and of sputa from suspect
ed cases of consumption is a step IN
the right direction. The bill was in
troduced in the senate by Senator
Waggener and in the house by DR.. J.
H. Briefly of Cloud county
Nearly every state in the Union mas
Il laboratory where free examinations
of certain contagious diseases can be
made. Ever Montana has such a lab
oratory which is under the control of
the Montana board of health. Inc
anti-tuberculOsis movement which is
world wide gives a new impetus to the
establishment of state and municipal
laboratories where specimens of sputa
can be examined there not only by
aiding in an early diagnosis, but in
calling attention to the need of
sanitary precautions.
The Illinois state board of health
opened it's laboratory to all physicians
of the state and through them to all
the people last m Ohio did
Iikewis in September, 1904. Iowa
has an excellent laboratory which has
recently been opened to the state. The
amount of work done varies in differ
ent states. Those having but one
bacteriologist rarely attempt more
than examining Tor d1phtherla ana
consumption. while the laboratory of
the Minnesota board of health with
four bacteriologists extends its re-
searches to the diseases of ina IS
we'll as man.
Illinois reports a mortality from
consumption last year of 5000. 1t is
estimated thai the mortality from
consumption in the United States is
1872 per ten thousand inhabitants or
about 1000 for each million This
estimate is considered conservative
The mortality in Kansas is probably a
little below his estimate, but not SO
far below as the majority of people
probably think. Vital statistics in this
state are not so complete Is in the
older states, nevertheless six hundred
and deaths from tuber-
culosis were reported to the state
board of health in. 1903 and only
sixty counties reported. Some of the
more populous eastern counties made
no report. while many of the thinly
settled western counties reported
