Representative Sherman Con-

No Present Necessity for an Opera

IRREGULARITY OF THE PULSE
At Present Rate of Progress the Pa
tient Will Reach his Normal
Condition by Tomorrow.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. June o5.-Material
progress was recorded today in the re-
covery of Representative James S Sher-
man. the republican vice presidential can
didate who is lying i'll at a hospital in
this city. His condition today did not
warrant a consultation of the attending
physicians. DR.. Edward P. Garter said
the patients improvement was progress
ing satisfactorily. He called upon Mr..
Sherman at $50 am. and announced that
he would not again return until after
noon. Mr.. Shermans temperature fell be-
low the 100 mark today for the first time
since he entered Lakeside Hospital, Tues
day morning. His fever shows falling
off of 11a degrees as compared with the
same period yesterday. His pulse has
shown greater improvement. the beats
dropping on the average 5s4 beats in the
same time. The respiration went 3A
points nearer normal. The readings would
indicate that if Mr.. Sherman continued
to improve during the next twenty-four
hours as he has done during the past day
he will reach his normal condition by to-
morrow, but this is not looked for as his
fever is not expected to entirely disap-
pear SO quickly.
Without Pain.
He suffered no pain today. and there
is now no probability of an immediate
operation.
MIR. Sherman's condition was appar-
emily better at 12:40 pm. than at any
time since he entered the hospital. Al

He spent a very comfortable night

cool and refreshing.
Irregular Pulse.
The only thing which caused the at
tending physicians any uneasiness was
the constant irregularity of the pulse
The highest point reached in his tenn

This was 1 2-1O degrees less than the
maximum reached Tuesday.

the hospital in a weeks time. but all de

SUBSTA1|0N TO Be HURRIED
PENNSYLVANIA ORDERED TO
SELECT NEW SITE.
Commissioners Anxious Construction
Shall Proceed-To Be Built on
Railways Own Land.

In short time there is to be a railroad
substation in Southwest Washington for
the convenience of railway passengers
from the south, so the Commissioners
say.
This substation was provided for in the
acts of Congress providing for the new
Union station and changing tracks in the
Southwest. The station has never been
built because of delay in deciding upon
a site.
The Commissioners believe that this sta
ton should be built as quickly as pos
sible. At board session yesterday after
noon they decided to get busy and bring
about its construction without further
delay.
Railroad to Select New Site.
The Commissioners revoked their ap-
proval of the site for the substation Sc
lected by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany at the north end of the Long bridge
and now require the railroad company
to select new site on its own property
between Az and 7th streets southwest.
This action was taken because Con-
gress had not acted upon the request OF
the railroad company to authorize it to
use 7.jOO feet Of public space, adjoining
its right of way. at the point selected for
the site, the substation to be built chiefly
on the right of way, but partly on the
public space The Commissioners ap-
proved that site. believing it to be in ac-
cordance with the law, and recommended
that Congress require the company either
to pay for it's use the full estimated
value Of the Land at a dollar foot. $500
or an equivalent annual rental during its
occupation.
Cause Of Delay Removed.
Congress having had six months to con-
slider the matter. and having taken nc
action. the Commissioners believe. ir
order that the substation should be bull,
promptly. the railroad company should
be required to select a new site for the
approval of the Commissioners on land
belonging to the railroad company, sc
there could be no question about its
right to proceed at once to the erection
Of the substatio
The Commissioners are not authorized
by the act OF Congress to select a site
but only to approve site selected. They
can and do ask the railroad company now
to present a site wholly on its own lane
and at a point regarded as convenien,
by those who are chiefly to use the sub.
station between AZ and 7th streets souths

used until a substation is erected are al

The Male Gossip.

When you hear of a gossip you nat
urally think of a women; but, if statis-
tics were possible, it would be discov-
cred that the majority of the gossip
belonged to the tothermost sex. Every
town is literally supplied with be.
whiskered gsssips who are happiest
when relating with embellishments the
sickening details of family scandals, OF
attacking regulations of more useful
and more Industrious world, and they
are the cause of good deal of trouble
in the world. Some of the institutions
of the old days were not so bad, after
all; long ago, the rude forefathers Of
the hamlet had the ducking stool and
the pillory; the former for gossiping
gentlemen. In all probability, if the
male gossip were confined in the
pillory for half day, while the people
he maligned pelted him with henfruit
and dead cats, he would experience {
change of heart and take his tongue
out of training. Today there is no i'm
prisonment for the gossip; but tn,
terrors of the law confronts the pedes
trian who inadvertently expectorat,
upon the sidewalk, or commits som,
other comparatively innocent offense.

NO CENTRAL BANK.

The comptroller of the currency has
recommended central bank but his
Recommendation is not likely to be
favorably received. Even Congress-
man Dalzell, who is called an ultra
representative of the corporate inter
ests, is quoted as saying that Andrew
Jackson has not been dead long enough
to make central bank popular. No,
the lesson that Andrew Jackson taught
is not yet forgotten. His fight against
the national bank-the great bank Of
his day-formed an epoch in our his
tory, and the fight would have to be
made over again if we allowed one to
be established. A central bank with
branches throughout the country would
soon absorb the business Of the coun-
stry and give us money trust even
more sdespotic than the present one
While it is not at all probable that the
republican leaders will agree upon a
2splan for national bank, it is well for
the democrats to be on their guard and
ready to give united opposition to any.
thing that looks toward the establish
4ment of a central bank.-Commoner.

There was wedding in Bedford the
other day that may lead to some great
complications. A man was married to
his fathers widow. The bride was the
mother of boy or 5 years old. Sup
pose an olive branch comes now to bless
the union of mother and step-son; then
what relation would the children be to
each other? The elder would be a half
brother to the younger, and being a
half brother to the babys father, would
make him the baby's uncle. If the baby
has an uncle, brother to that uncle
would also be the baby's uncle, there
fore the baby would be his own uncle.
The babv's father would also be his
half brother. and butt this is get
ting just little bit too complicated
for us, so we will turn the matter over
to some good puzzle solver to work out
the rest of the relationship .-Bedford

Did you ever hear of February
80? The Marine Journal says: On a
ship voyaging across the Pacific ocean
at the end of February, 1904, leap
year, an inquisitive passenger found a
menu dated February 80. At first he
thought he had came across typograph-
ical error, but had to change his opin-
ion. The dinner was given on the
Siberia while crossing from Yokohama
to San Francisco. A day is gained be-
tween Japan and America, and as the
event happened on this occasion ct the
end of February, leap year, the date Of
February 80 was right.

OKLAHOMA TO FRONT IN BANK
PROTECTION.

While congress and the rest of the
state legislatures are talking and dis
cussing the question of guaranteeing
bank deposits, Oklahoma, the newest
state in the union has taken decided
action.
The new banking law for Oklahoma,
whereby is provided guaranty fund
for the protection of depositors in insol-
vent banks, will become operative
February II, 1908. It's makers believe
it will make impossible ruin on an in
dividual bank or permit money panic
in the state. Each stated bank is re-
quired to pay to the state banking
board sum equal to one per cent of it's
daily average deposits. Whenever this
sum is depleted it shall be increased by
further assessments. When a bank
fails, the state bank examiner steps in
and forthwith pays the depositors from
the guaranty funds held by the banking
board. These payments become first
lien on the assets of the defunct bank.
National banks that wish to avail them
selves of the benefits of the law may do
SO upon plan agreed upon by the
banking board, the bank commissioner
and the comptroller of the currency of
the United States.

VALUE OF RIGHT BREATHING.

causing her whole weight to pull against

ring to tear away all the flesh on the
finger, leaving the bone bare. 1t was a

CHANGE RULE FOR REPORTING
BIRTHS AND DEATHS.
Parents of Children Must Report
Birth of Child and Undertaken
the Death of Person.

Under new ruling made by the
state board OF health the birth anc
death of every person in the city must
be reported to the health officer of the
city.
Several years ago the births during
the year were gathered up by the as
SCISSOR when he made his rounds anC
the deaths were recorded with the
city clerk. A couple of years ago
however, this was changed and "a law
was made that the birth Of all children
should be reported to the board at Des
Moines. 1t was soon found, however
that under this system a very incom
plete record was kept SO the state
board has made new rule which is
already in effect.
The new ruling states that when ever
child is born in the city it shall be
the duty OF the head of the family tc
report the birth of the child together
with all required facts to the health
officer.
1t should be noticed that in the new
order that has been issued the parents
of the child are required to make the
report to the health officer and not the
physician as was the case several years
ago. The health officer is then required
to keep record of all the reports that
come in and is to file them with the
state board whenever this is required.
By ordering the parents to make the
report it is thought that much closer
record can be kept than heretofore, a
thing which is needed in order to make
out complete statistics.
In the case of death the undertaken
is required to make the report to the
health officer and must secure certifi-
cate from him before the body of the
deceased can be inferred. The ply
stefan who attended the deceased is re
quired to make full report of the de-
cease and cause of the death to the
undertaken and he in return must make
the report to the health officer.
Another ruling that has been made is
that nobody shall be disinterred with
out special permit signed by the
health officer and the mayor Of the city.
A special permit must also be secured
for every body that is removed and the
removal can be made by licensed un-
dertaker and embalmer only.
So far the new rules and regulations
have not been placed in effect in Leon.
The health officer is held responsible
for the reports by the state board so it
is necessary for him to insist that they
be turned in to him.
The lax method that has been used,
particularly in the registration Of
births, has been generally criticised
throughout the state and the new
method promises to be more accurate
and to give the state what it wants, and
that is complete record of all births
and deaths that occur.
