MORE WORK FOR UNDERTAKEN.
Another Little FRAGILE For The
Statistic Maker.

Topeka, Kans., Jan. The
Kansas state board of health is
determined to make its vital
statistics more complete and under
new blanks being sent out by it
the county health officers must
set forth the number of people of
each age from l year up to ITO
who have died during the past
year. This is likely to make a
lot of trouble for the health
officers, for it means that they
must adopt a new system of CLASH
Gcation for their list of deaths.
Another new wrinkle in the 1906
reports is a form for the collection
of statistics about the occupations
of people who have died during
the year. There is a list of fifty
different occupations according to
which the dead ones" must be
classified. This means more work
for the county health officers.

IOLD RUSSIAS
GREAT Loss.
The Internal Disturbances Have
Drained Her Resources.
FOOTS UP into BILLIONS.

Berlin, Jan. 3.-Professor
Migulin, a financial expert, sends
from st. Petersburg an estimate
placing the losses in Russia as the
result of her internal disturbances
at billions of dollars. He lists
Fire at Baku, fifty millions.
Five hundred castles and country
homes burned, twenty-five mil
lions.
Damage to the Port of Odessa
twenty-five millions.
Damage to naval and military
ornaments, twenty-five millions.
Total direct losses one hundred
and seventy five millions.
The balance of his grand total
is made up of diminished railway
returns, $2O,OOO,OOO; losses il
wages $1OO,OOO,OOO; Russian
capital sent abroad 500 100000
bankruptcies as a result of thu
riots $5O,OOO,OOO; loss of golt
through emigration $50, 900, 900
and Withdrawals through foreign
firms $5OO,OOO,OOO.
The country, he says, will Ions
feel this terribly depressing
financial loss, even if the disturb
ances are now quelled, and tn,
people return to their normal con
dition.

Death OF winnie Benedict.


Word has reached this city by
wire that Miss Winnie Benedict,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. D. E.
Benedict of this city, died last
night at the Sisters hospital at
Spokane, Wash. Winnie contract
ed consumption and was sent west
in hopes of regaining her health.
Her mother was with her, as was
also her brother, who lives in that
city. Mrs. Benedict and Winnie
left Hutchinson September q, ssfol
the west, and now the mother
must return with the remains fol-
burial.
Winnie Benedict was IS years
of age. She came to Hutchinson
when she was but eight years old
with her parents, and was vel
known to The young people of thi;
city. She graduated from the high
chool at the head of the class Of
1905, but the close study, and ap
plication also to music, under
mined her strength and brought
on consumption.
Winnie was a girl of bright
sunny disposition and sweet life
1t seems sad that such a charming
bright girl should be called so ear
ly in life. She has lived well fol
she was kind and gentle, anC
taught the lessons that she was sen
to earth to know to show her life,
work. She will be greatly miss
ed by her young friends, who arr
