Statistics of Mortality.

The Bureau of the Census has pub
lished report presenting mortality
statistics for the United States for the
five calendar years 1900 to 1904. This
report was prepared under the super
vision of the late William A. King
chief statistician for vital statistics.
The number of deaths reported in the
registration area in 1900 was $50, $50,
and the death rate per 1000 of popula-
tion was 17.6. In 1901 the rate declined
to 1876 and in 1902 to 16. The rate in
creased in 1908 to 1872 and in 1904 to
1917. The average annual rate for the
five years was 1876 per 1000.
The average annual death rate in the
registration states was 17.S per 1000 in
the cities of 5000 or more population in
1900 and 143 per 900 in rural districts,
which, as the term is here used, includes
everything outside these cities. The
average annual rates were lowest in ST.
Joseph, Mo. (7.6); Owosso, Mich (1O.E
Lincoln, Nebr. Q0.4) and st. Paul.

Big Factory Excursion.

Over 1900 people went from Owosso
to Detroit on the factory excursion Sat-
urday over the Ann Arbor and Mich
igan Central railroads The first Sec
tion left at o'clock and the ten coaches
were packed full of people. A second
train of ten coaches at 6:10 was equally
crowded. The third at GAS took care of
the remainder of the excursionists in
comfortable shape. The very unusual
ly low price, rs cents, for tickets made it
possible for every one to go, have a
good time in Detroit and get home at a
very small expense. With the added
crowd from Corunna about 1000 people
took in the excursion.
The returning trains left Detroit at
8, and IL o'clock, the first section ar
irving in Owosso about II o'clock. The
other sections made much slower runs
returning, but all arrived here in good
spirits and ready to go again.

pened Wednesday morning while she
was on her way to the Asbury church
picnic at the Goss school.
AS thesparty was passing by the
Thorn place the horse became frighten-

ly that Mrs. King was thrown from
the seat onto the horse and from there
to the ground striking on her head and
shoulders. .rlShe was picked up in an
unconscious condition and taken into
Mr.. Thorn's house. DIR. Knapp hap
pened along Just then and was called

Franchise Granted.

The council granted franchise to
the electric line which Promoter j. w.
Thick says is to be built from Saginaw
to Lansing, giving the company every
thing it asked for, making no provision
for the desire of other companies to run
lines through the city and use the same
tracks or streets, thus probably prevent
ing or seriously hindering the construc.
tion of other and more important and
satisfactory suburban lines through
this city. Aid. Sturtevant, Townsend
and Rigley voted no, the other seven
voting.for the company. Mayor Parkill
very promptly and properly vetoed the
ordinance and it is hoped that the city's
interest will be better realized by the
aldermen by the time of the next coun-
Gil meeting.

Rev. J. A. Clyde Says Farewell.

Rev. ]. A. Clyde closed his three
years pastorate of the First Baptist
church Sunday, preaching two very
fine sermons, deeply religious and along
the line of being proud to be worker
for Christ, and working while the best
years of their life in strength and capa-
bility were being enjoyed He hoped
for good reports from the church in
Owosso. His many warm friends in
Owosso took occasion to thank him at
the close of the service for his earnest
work and to wish him and his family
much happiness and prosperity.

Secretary Root Discusses Develop.
rnent of Argentina.

Buenos Ayres, Aug 18.-Secretary
Root visited Estancia and other places,
accompanied by President Alcorta, the
cabinet ministers and the diplomatic
corps.
In the evening the secretary was
present at the reception given in his
honor by the North American society
of the river Platte in Prince George
hall, which was attended by the lead
ing English speaking people and prom
inent Argentine citizens, upwards OF
1900 persons being present. After an
address of welcome in behalf of the
American citizens had been delivered
by President Purdie of the society Mr.
Root spoke on the great prospects for
the future development of the country
by the investment of American cap
ital. He pointed out that since the
time, twenty years ago, when the late
Secretary Blaine founded the bureau
of South American republics the con-
ditions had greatly changed. The
United States, from debtor nation
which had been compelled to borrow
money to build it's railways, had in
comparatively short time become a
creditor nation with large surplus
capital ready and available for dis
posal to help other countries attain
the same position. Argentina was a
country with great potentialities, Of
fering security, protection and ~
munerative return for foreign capital,
by whose aid it would be enabled to
pay it's debts and like its sister repub-
lie, the United States, develop its rich
resources and also become a creditor
nation and help on the smaller Latin
states.

New York, Aug 1S.-The city o

damaged by earthquake. One report
received here Is that the situation in
Valparaiso may prove to be as serious

One report which reached this city
said that portions of Valparaiso were
burning all night and that the bodies
of hundreds of it's residents were bur-
led in the ruins of the buildings.
Valparaiso is fortified seaport of
Chile and the most important CONNER

South America. 1t has population of
about 10000. 1t is the capital of a
province of the same name and is sit

BIG DIVIDENDS THE CAUSE
SOUTHERN AND UNION PACIFIC
RAILWAY STOCKS SOAR ON
NEW YORK EXCHANGE.

New York, Aug 1S.-The scene Of
excitement on the Stock Exchange
following the announcement Of the
first dividend for Southern Pacific
common and an increase of per cent
In Union Pacific common stock had
hardly been equalled since the memor.
able struggle for control of Northern
Pacific i've years ago. The two Pa
cifics became the center OF interest
and Immediately upon the announce
ment of the dividend there was a
frantic rush of brokers to buy these
two stocks. Many of them held orders
for lots of 10000 shares each. Room
traders joined in the scramble to get
the stock before the prices scared too
high and in the confused struggle
which ensued little attention was paid
to prices and the stocks were taken
at whatever point they were ruling at
at that moment. At noon the excite
ment was at boiling point, with I'm
ion Pacific still advancing and the
trading then so heavy that the ticker
was four points behind in reporting
the advances. Southern Pacific was
confined between 81 and IS, while Un-
ion Pacific was bringing new record
prices. The latter stock reached
175k before 2 O'Clock, an overnight
rise of thirteen points.
The speculative furore caused by
the Pacific dividend announcements
grew as the day progressed and spread
to nearly all quarters OF the market.
PENNSYLVANIA and New York Central
showed close sympathy with the I'm
ion Pacific movement owing to the
analogous commitments of those com.
panies in their large holdings OF stock
of controlled companies.
