Board of Health just published has
to say in regard to sickness and death
in the state during January as fol
| lows:
Bronchitis was reported as the dis
ease of greatest prevalence. Then
follows influenza, tonsilitis, pneumon-
ia. Typhoid fever stands 9Th and in
| the preceding month was sixth in area
of prevalence The order of preva-
lence was as follows: Bronchitis, in
| fluenza, tonsilitis, pneumonia, rheu-
matism, scarlet fever, diphtheria and
membranous Group, typhoid fever
(enteric), measles, pleuritis, erysip-

There were 232 cases of smallpox
reported from Is counties with three
deaths. In the corresponding month
last year, so cases were reported from
10 counties with no deaths.
There were 344 cases of typhoid
fever reported from 81 counties with
65 deaths. 1t is obvious all of the
cases were not reported.
tuberculosis accomplished its us
ual horrible slaughter. 1t killed 349,
3O3 being from pulmonary tubercu-
losis. Of the deaths from consump-
ton, 30 were fathers in the age period
of IS to 40 and left 81 orphans under
12 years of age and 6s were mothers

1876 orphans under IL years of age.
The total number of orphans made

203, homes invaded, 2s6.
There were APT deaths from pneu-
monia In the corresponding month
last years there were. AIS. There
were no epidemics of this disease re
ported, the affliction extending rather
venly over the whole state.
Reports show % cases of diphtheria
from 81 counties with 81 deaths. In
the corresponding month last year
there were PAT cases from 40 counties
with 80 deaths. 1t thus appears that
there is no increase of this disease
The total number of deaths in Jan
uary was 293s, a rate of 13. In the
corresponding month last year, 299s
deaths, rate 1873. The cities showed a

The basis of the agreement reached
between President Roosevelt, Secre-
tary Root, Mayor Schmitz and the
members of the San Francisco School

The skull of Pearl Bryan was dug
out of the ground Saturday in Ken
lucky opposite Cincinnati.
That the skull is that of Miss Pearl
Bryan, the Greencassle, Ind, girl,
who was murdered Feb. 1, 1896, by
Scott Jackson and Alonzo Walling.
Cincinnati Medical students, has been
proved by circumstancial evidence
said by lawyers to be as valid and
relevant as the ciroumstantial evil
dence on which the men were con-
victed of murder in the first degree
and hanged for their crimes in New
port, KY
Their circumstantial evidence is
this: The skull was found in the soil
which forms part of the roadway that
a carriage enroute from the proved
scene of Pearl Bryan's murder near
Fl. Thomas, KY, would take in pro-
ceeding to the residence of doctor
in Newport. where the testimony at
the trial showed Miss Bryan under
went treatment just before she was
killed
The skull alone was found No
other parts of the skeleton to which
the skull belongs has been or can be
found by the workmen, either at or
near the point where the Uranium was
unearthed.
The measurements of the skull
tally with the measurements prescrib-
ed by comparative anatomy of those
of Miss Bryan's skull.

Our United States Senators.


answer some questions asked about
United States senators. He says:
In reply to the question How
many senators represent great cor
porations and trusts?" | would say
that no vote has ever been taken on
that proposition.
In the reply to the question "How
many honest men there are in the
Senate?" it is difficult to classify them
on that basis for lack of evidence. At
present no senator is under indict-
ment and only one is in Jail Sena-
tor LaFollette and Senator Tillman
say they are honest Senator Bailey
is now under investigation; the re-
mainder of the Senate has not yet
been heard from on this point.
How many millionaires are there
in the Senator" AS rated by the So
ciety columns, the Sunday supple
ments and the muckrakers. there are
about ffty-fve. AS rated b. Dun's
and Bradstreet's agencies, there are
ten.
"How many farmers are there in
the Senate, and how many belong 70
the laboring classes?"
Senator Tillman and his colleague,
Senator Latimer, are "sure-enough
farmers. Senator Warren runs n
sheep ranch, Senator Clay has cot
ton plantation, Senator Bailey has a
stock farm at Gainesville, Texas; Sen
ator McCreary has a fine plantation
in the blue gra,s region, Senator
Knox belongs to the Farmers Club
of Pennsylvania, Senator Burrows
shes every time anybody says sugar
beet" Senator Clark of Montana
owns a farm near Connellsville, Fay
cite County, Pa, but does not work
| it himself because he finds copper
mining more profitable. He worked
on farm when he was boy IN
Iowa. and also taught school, and, |
suppose, may be considered farmer
Senator Perkins was once farm
hand, but went to sea as soon as he
smelt salt water. Senator Burkett
was born on farm, but left it be-
cause he was not appreciated. Sena-
tor Proctor of Vermont grows maple
sugar and marble tombstones on his
farm. Senator Doliver is very friend
| ly to the farmers of Iowa, but is not
so anxious about their welfare as he
was before the recent senatorial cleo
ton in that state. He will come
around all right again before his term
expires. Senator Foraker was farm
er's boy, but has not followed the
pillow for some years. Senator Nc
Cumber is also farmer.
AS to workingmen, Senator Alice
of Delaware is a jeweler, Senator
Nixon telegraph operator, Senator
Hansborough a printer and Senator
Beveridge is the working girls friend
He is es ecially friendly to m lkmaids
and in his fifty-hve hour speech on
the child labor law took strong
ground in opposition to young ladies
milking cows more than IS years old
Since that speech was delivered Sec
rotary Wilson of the Department OF
Agriculture has issued bulletin No.
90. entitled, "The Milking Machine as
Factor in Dairying." 1t is much
more interesting than anything SEN
| ator Beverage ever wrote and has
several half-tone illustrations. One of
them represents farmer milking two
cows into the same bucket.

The number of arrests and prose-
cutions in Chicago for the offense of
selling or circulating obscene pictures
and literature constitutes a disquiet-
ing circumstance. All of these pan
ders to the prurient have customers
or they could not carry on business,
and when we consider the number OF
such establishments that have been
raided it is unpleasantly evident that
there must be great many people
in that city who buy printed smut
The whole matter is calculated to
sustain the theory held by a good
many people that the American fiber
is deteriorating. When nation gets
to the point where it encourages the
Iicentious picture industry It is in >
bad way morally.

Reform Needed.

1t is admitted that the actuary in
the insurance department of the state
auditors Office has been allowed to
spend more than half his time in the
service of the insurance companies.
He draws salary of $4,000 a year
from the state. Last year he received
from the insurance. companies 3d.
925 In the month of January, this
year, he was paid $716 by the COM
panies. The actuary is supposed by
the public to be working exclusively
for the state, but Governor Hanly
says "the law does not forbid this
divided service" The law may not
do so specifically, but it certainly does
so by necessary implication.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1907-02-21

The senate has passed the bill TO
classify and regulate the minimum
salaries of school teachers and also
to raise the standard of teachers. The
effect of the Redistribution and of
the salaries and the basis of deter
mining them would be an increase
over present wages of % 1-2, 81 and
81 cents day, pending on the length
of service of teachers.

No Summer Excursion Rates.

The following official statement has
been issued at Chicago by the West
ern Passenger association:
1T was recommended by the execu-
tive committee of the Western Pas
senger association that in view of the
pending bills before the various state
legislatures providing for passenger
rate of two cents mile, no action be
taken in the direction of making re-
duced summer excursion rates.

Again the Human Factor.

1t used to be taught that every dis
aster at sea, properly considered, pre-
vented a dozen others. The loss OF
the Larchmont hardly bears out this
| theory.
There was no nautical reason why
the two boats should have come into
collision. The night though cold and
windy, was clear There was plenty
of searoom The vessels might have
given each other the widest of berths,
they might have put miles between
them. Instead of that, as if governed
by mysterious attraction, they head
ed directly for each other while miles
distant. A swerve of quarter point
of the compass would have sent them
clear, but the swerve was not made.
They held on and crashed together.
The case is not novel, because it is
one that has been duplicated on every
sea, but it is always interesting. What
is the magnetism or physic force that
thus impels pilots to steer mile after
The navigation laws are perfectly
plain and simple. They are marine
rules of the road that are incapable
of misconstruction If they are vio-
| lated it must necessarily be done with
deliberation. Yet as everyone knows
collisions of the Larchmont- Knowl-
ton kind are the commonest Of ma
inc accidents.
Here is the uncertain human factor
| which makes trouble afloat as we'll as
ashore On land the block signal
operator forgets to set his red signal
or the engineer runs past it. On the
water the steersman self-hypnotized
or dreaming, guides his vessel direct
ly in the teeth. of on-rushing destruc-
ton.
Nobody can forsee or guard
against these htings. They are a part
of our mortal inheritance.
Errors as to Average Weather.
Professor Moore, chief of the ma
| tional weather bureau, proclaims him
self as highly gratified by the recent
heavy burden and wide distribution
of snow precipitation. 1t helps to
dispel illusions which bother him in
his official business. He finds wide
spread belief in the idea of changing
conditions, and not a few put so
much faith in them that they think a
readjustment of business plans and
| agricultural operations necessary to
conform to them. Year in and year
out, he maintains, the weather now
is what it used to be- Professor
Moore's explanation of the preva. ing
impression is that the man of the
middle ages or more remembers the
abnormal and in his mind brings il
down to the present day and COM
pares it with the average"
