In vogue. party Of army people, Major
Hlldreth, his wife and daughter: Cap.
tain Kelley, his wife and two children:
Captain Nye and Lieutenant Chapman
started TO transfer from one post TO
another.
There was no transportation avalln-
bic, except an army wagon drawn by
mules. Improylsed seats were put In,
besides plenty Of provisions, and an
other wagon containing arms, ammuni.
tion and some quartermaster stores
that were awaiting transportation was
also got In readiness. The comman.
dant proposed to send small escort
but the officers, who were young,
agreed that the four OF them, besides
two drivers, cook and wagon full
Of fighting material should suffice. No
guard would have been thought OF had
not an Indian outbreak been considered
imminent.
During the trip Nye was obliged to
witness the constant devotion of Chip
man to Marcia IIlldreth, which was
excruciating since Nye had long
worshlped her in secret, But when the
party had half finished the journey
something occurred that fixed the at
tention Of all on q common danger.
Coming to an emlnence on one Of the
foothills, n party Of 200 Indians was
seen below, and from their appearance
and actions 1t was evident that the
expected outbreak had occurred. They
caught sight Of the wagon and raised
n warwhoop.
Major Hildreth, the ranking officer,
possibly because he saw certain death
staring his wife and daughter In the

the other two he proposed to hold the
center. Each flank was protected by a
rocky facade, while the center, through
which ran creek, was comparatively
narrow. The wagons, with their con-
tents, and the women and children
were stationed behind rock In the
rear. Nye briefly explained his plan of

taking a rife at the front but Nye told

higher mortality consumed large guam

uncooked. While these preserved meat
foods were eaten to certain extent in
their own countries, the higher wages of
America permit indulgence in them to
a greater extent, while the greater cost
of fresh meat is an added inducement
to the consumption OF these articles.
It was found also, that the bulk of the
fresh meat prepared at the plant Of

demned ante-mortem by the govern

slaughtered, is eaten by the poor.
About 81 per cent of stock, held for
slaughter upon being condemned on
ante mortem inspection and after the
diseased organs and parts have been
removed, is finally passed upon and en-
ters the market, either as fresh meat
or in the form of meat products, and
is largely consumed by the foreign poor.
My investigations at the Chicago stock
yards show that the majority Of the
stock condemned ante-mortem for tu-

FOREIGN.BORN SUSCEPTIBLE
Italians, Chinese and Native Americans
Have Lowest Death Rate From Dread
Disease-Boost For Vegetarians.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Chicaga scien-
lists are deeply interested in the results
OF TWO years exhaustive research upon
cancer by DR.. G. Cooke Adams, of Lon
don and formerly of Australia, just
made public through the department OF
health. DR.. Adams has proved conclu-
siyely that health plays a most i'm
portant factor in the increase of the dis
ease and its death-rate.
The increase from cancer in Chicago
from 1866 to 1905 was 232 per cent; in
1866, III each l04 deaths was due to
cancer, and in 1905 it had increased to
death in every 20. The results show
that the increase is due to the foreign
Born inhabitants as the native Chicago
born show the lowest death-rate in the
world.
During the last seven years, of $685.
deaths among the Chicago born from all
causes there were only l78 deaths due
to cancer, During the same period there
were 6l,0l9 deaths from all causes
among foreign-boln inhabitants (who
comprise over one third of the total pop
ulationJ and there were 4,463 deaths
from cancer.
The cancer leath-rate per 100000

that the German is 757, Irish 700

one in twelve; of the Irish dying in Chi

from cancer, while in Ireland it is one
in fifteen, whereas, among the Chicago
and Illinois born dying in Chicago, aged
40 years and over, there is only one
death in p from cancer.
The death-rate among the foreign born
from cancer in Chicago is rapidly in
creasing The German and Irish show
the highest death-rate from cancer in
the world, nearly 300 per cent higher
than in their native countries. The
Italian and Chinese maintain the lowest
death-rate of all from cancer as is shown
in their own countries.
Concerning his researches, DR.. Adams
says:
my statistical investigations in Eur
ope, Great Britain and the United States
OF America, fully corroboIate my earlier
Australian observations. The increase
OF cancer and its death-rate in te Uuit-
ed States, particularly among the for
eign-born inhabitants, is alarming, the
mortality of the foreign born being far
in excess of the death-date OF the ma
tive-born and contributing the greater
part toward the generally high NOR
tality. The increase of cancer mortal
ity may be demonstrated by study Of
the vital statistics of any large Ameri-
can city. The tables of Chicago giving
the following results:
In Chicago, from 1856 to 1866 there
was an increase in the cancer death
rate of $50 per cent; while from 1856
to 1895, the increase was 232 per cent;
In 1856, but one in each 1000 deaths
was from cancer; in 1866 this had in
creased to one in l64; in 1905 it was !
in 23 deaths, while in 1906, ] death in
every 2l.8 was due to this disease,
"The same tables show plainly the ter
rible mortality among the foreign born
residents of Chicago, particularly among
the Germans, Irish, Scandinavians and
Slavonians. The cancer death-rate
among the Irish and German residents
OF Chicago is the highest in the world,
beins nearly 300 per cent higher than
in their native countries. The Chicago
mortality tables show that Of four
deaths among Germans over 40 years
of age, is from cancer. In Germany it
is l in IL. OF the Irish dying in Chi
cago over 40 years of age, in every
6 dies from cancer, while the cancer
death-rate in Ireland at the same age
is ! in l5. Simarily the Scandinavian,
SIavonians and other foreign born, ex-
cept the Italians and Chinese, show a
far greater death-rate in Chicago than
in their own homes, the two last named
races maintaining the low mortality OF
their native lands. ..
