typhoid fever continues to be the most
fatal Of any of the more dreaded diseases.
Only A cases were reported for the month
but there were u deaths.
On the other hand smallpox seems to be

ruary there were only four deaths.
Scarlet fever does not seem to be as

ruarv, but only three of them caused
death.
There were 43 cases Of diphtheria dur
ing the month, resulting in four deaths
The great bulk of the large number OF

ported 60 cases and Lyon 45. Graham
Kingman and Saline counties each report
ed 40 cases, but no deaths. In saiina the

cases. The only deaths beside the two

WILL BE RED TAPE ENOUGH.
Requires Four Pages to Register the
New Bonds.

Under the new law regulating the
registration of bonds held by the
state school fund it will require four
pages of a new bond register to prop
erly list any set of bonds. The law
provides that not only shall the bonds
tn emse1ves be registered, but the
coupons shall also be registered and
shall be checked off as paid.
This is for the purpose of keeping
a check on future state treasurers. In
the past there has been no check on
the state treasurer. That is why it
has been possible for some coupons
belonging to the school fund and SO
stamped, to be collected but never re-
ported by the treasurer as paid.
Assistant Auditor Nation has been
devising a form for the new register.
The bonds themselves will be regis
tered in the regular order as hereto
fore. Then there viii be sixty columns
for the registration Of coupons, one
column for each set Bonds never
have more than sixty coupons. The
face Of each coupon and the date of
maturity will be shown by the regis
ter. All these will be noted when the
bonds are registered. When the cou-
pons are paid the fact and the date
paid will be written in red ink across
the other data.

Would you like to see the city eff
feet a saving on general expenses of
5000 per year? OF course you would,
especially so if you are a taxpayer.
Such a saving can be made and
without any great degree Of suffering
to any one else, more the joy.
The saving can be effected in the
Office of the commissioner of elections
and though it rests directly with the
board of supervisors of elections it
rest primarily with the personnel of
the city council and their sincerity i'll

ton.
The board of supervisors consists of
a councilman from each ward ap-
pointed by the election commissioner
and is confirmed by the mayor. The
present board consists of Councilman
Swendson, Sixth ward, chairman
Councilman Holiday, Second ward;
Councilman Kutz, First ward; Coun-

BAD FOR Mr.. TAYLOR.
There VIII Be No Pay for Him Until
After July 1.

1t has been generally supposed that
the appointment of Carr W. Taylor to
be attorney for the state board of rail-
road commissioners, would be effective
as soon as the new railroad law went
into effect. This is true, SO far as the
law is concerned, but it may not be
agreeable to Mr.. Taylor, as he would
have to serve without pay until July 1.
Assistant Auditor Nation has dis
covered that there is no appropriation
to pay Mr.. Taylor's salary until the
fiscal year beginning July 1. The leg
islature created the Office to go into
effect at once, but it forgot to appro-
pirate any money to pay the salary
attached to it for the balance of the
present fiscal year. The proper APP
preparations were made for the fiscal
years June so, 1905. and June 80,
1907. but none for the year ending
June /, 1906.
OF course Mr.. Taylor may see fit to
go ahead and serve without pay from
now till July, and trust to the next
legislature to make an appropriation
for the deficiency. That is done some

SUPERIOR MERIT.
Remarkable Curative Properties of a
Remedy for Indigestion and
Stomach Weakness.

Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, a prepara-
ton for the cure of dyspepsia and the
various forms of indigestion and Stom-
ach trouble, owes its great success as
a cure for these troubles to the fact
that it is prepared for disease and
weakness of the stomach and digestive
organs only, and is not recommended
or advised for any other disease.
It is not a cure-all, but for any StOm-
ach trouble it is undoubtedly the safest,
most sensible remedy that can be ad-
vised with the prospect of a permanent
cure. It is prepared in tablet form,
pleasant to take, composed of vegeta BILE
Golden Seal, every one of which act eff
fectively in digesting the food eaten,
thereby resting and invigorating the
weak stomach: rest is natures cure for
any disease, but you cannot rest the
stomach unless you put into it some
thing that will do its work or assist in
the digestion of food
That is exactly what Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets do, one grain of the diges-
tive principle contained in them will di-
gest 5000 grains Of meat, eggs or SINH
lar wholesale foods, they will digest the
food whether the stomach is in work
ing order or not, thereby nourishing the
body and resting the stomach at the
same time, and rest and nourishment Is
natures cure for any weakness.
In persons run down in flesh and ap-
netite these tablets build up the strength
and increase flesh, because they digest
hesh-forming food which the weak
stomach cannot do, they increase the
flow of gastric juice and prevent fer
ings.
