759 Enter World; $50 Leave 1t.

A total of $50 people died and 759
were born in Little Rock this year
up to and including the month of
November, according to the monthly
reports of City Physician o. X. Judd.
Just nine more people were born than
died in the city last year.
Thi. is statement that might cause
alarm if it were not that DR.. Judd
accounts for the very slight excess in
births by the fact that numerous
births are not reported to him by mid
wives and negroes and that, conse-
quently, his figures are not complete.
The percentage of deaths in Little
Rock is based by DR.. Judd on an esti-
mated population of 10000. Approx
imately, it is II death per 1000 of
population annually. The highest
death rate was in January, supposed
ly the coolest month of the year. This
was lis per 1000 Of population. The
lowest death rate was in the warm
month of June &c per 1000 OF popu-
lation. From January TO June to No
vember births outnumbered deaths in
each month

Commissioners VIII Not Resign.

The recent report that the members
of the Board of State Capitol Com
missioners, in view of the criticism of
their work by Mr.. Donaghey and 9th
ers. would resign, Is stoutly denied by
DR.. J. NJ. Fleniken of Camden, one of
the members of the board.
Dr. Fleniken says that he does not
know of a single surety on the bond
of any member of the board who
would alvise such course. So far as
he knew, all were satisfied that the
members of the board had performed
their duties honestly and faithfully
and desired them to continue in their
positions and complete the building,
as the law directs them to do, and as
they would have done had the ap-
preparation for its completion been
available.
"One of my bondsmen," said Dr.
Fleniken, lis able 20 take the con-
tract and complete it at his own eX-
Dense. He is satisfied with the course
| have pursued and is much opposed
tC my resigning, which ] have never
thought of doing l believe the bonds
men of the other members feel the
same way Resignation would be
equivalent to a confession to all the
charges preferred against the board,
which was inspired for political effect
| only. ! stated some time ago that
those marble columns in the new
state capitol erected under the SUI
| perivision of the commission, would
| serve as, monuments over the political
graves of many Arkansas politicians
who have ridden into Office on the
new state capitol proposition. l am
still of the same opinion.
DR.. Fleniken says that to cancel the
present contract and award il to an
other, he believes, would cost the state
| at least 100000 more than it would
| otherwise tc complete the building.
| DR.. Fleniken proposes to hold his posi-
| ito mas member of the board so long
as the law permits him 20 retain the
membership.
1t is possible, said DR.. Fleniken, that
there will be a meeting CT the board
some time during the week for the
purpose of formulating report of the
commission to Ice presented to the
governor There is very little to re
port he said, but some kind OF report
would be made The commission, ne
says, has spent none of the public
moneys since the beginning of the lit
| igatiCn over the availability of the ap
preparation The travelling and other
expenses in going 10 and from Little
Rock on occasions Of the meetings dur
ing the past two years of ,--e commls
sion have been borne by the individual
members.
DR.. Fleniken believes that the legis
lature, when all the facts in connec
ton with the sts,e capitol construc
ton are presented to it, will take the
proper steps to provide for he com
pletion of the building.
