KILLING BABIES.

A census bulletin estimates tra4
about 100000 babies die every wear in
the United States from preventahla
causes. It is stated by the sana an
thority that the infant death rate is in
creasing. Out of one-half of our pom
ulation one-eighth of a million chill
dren died last year. 1t is reasonable
ITO estimate that as many died in the
unregistered districts.
Now this is most important If
shocking revelation. Aside from ITS
humanitarian aspect it bears directly
on the race. Are we passing laws, es-
fablishing tests and seeking specifics
to stay the ravages OF disease in ami
mails and neglecting our own race by
permitting babies to be born and die
without fair chance to survive?
Some of the diseases of which this
multitude of children died are the pro-
ducts of bad sanitary conditions. ba6
food, bad plumbing. Thousands OF
babies died last year because some one
sold tainted milk because someone else
refused to repair rotten and rack-rent.

Sleeping among the we'll kept records

would bring a gasp of astonishment to
s99 persons out Of every 1000 in this
county. What? Five towns in Hamilton
county, the location of which are not
known to more than twenty-five peo-
pie ?eExactly. And what is more, sew
eral of these towns are pretentions, too
or at least they contain many blocks
Of we'll plated lots, streets, etc.
They were plated in the long
ago and about them were built high
hopes Of their promoters. Much money
was spent in surveying them, having
them plated and recording the plats
But the coming of the steam horse and
Its road OF steel changed the location of
early Hamilton county settlements and
most OF the pretentious places OF gath

faded. with the mists Here are the five
towns above referred to: Callahan

OF these. Callahan is the best known
for 1t Is the newest Of the five. It was
plated in 1878 and was located in Lyon
township. It was the head Of narrow

ON BUILDING UP A TOWN.

lDubuque Tetegrapn-derald.
There is always more or less talk OF
building up the town. Various sugges-
tons are advanced from time to time
of the best means to this end. The
opinion is generally held that every
citizen ought to vie with every other
citizen in doing his utmost to build up
the town In seeking for the bird in
the bush it is always well to keep hold
of the bird in hand. In other words
hold fast to that which is good" If
there be established industries here it
is our duty to keep them; if merchan-
dising houses, our business to do bus
mess with them: newspapers, our bust
ness to help make them better news
papers by giving them the means with
which they can better themselves.
The old man with the bundle of sticks
had no difficulty in breaking each
stick separately. but when he had
bound them together he could not
break them because their combined
resistance was greater than his
strength. So if the community stands
by its merchants, its manufacturers
is contractors. its jobbers and does bus
mess with them TO the exclusion OF
nonresidents it will strengthen them
and strengthen the individuals and
build up the town.
