During March 372 people in Iowa
died Of pneumonia, according to com
plete reports of deaths during that
month received by the state board
OF health. Deaths from tuberculosis
during the same erfod reached a
total OF only 1879. although consump-
ton in the average months causes
more deaths than any other disease.
That the March weather was presum-
ably responsible for the large number
of fatalities from pneumonia is shown
BY the fact that during January only
2S5 deaths were recorded and in
February only 26s.

may be restricted. The pathway Of

The municipal authorities of Natchez
have ordered an election to be held to
take the sense of the property holders of
that city On the question of authorizing
a bond issue for $4,000 in aid of the
construction of the Mississippi River
Western Railroad, the line projected
from Meridian to and across the river at
Natchez The election is scheduled to
take place within the next thirty days.
Most citizens of Natchez are agreed that
the more railroads Natchez can secure,
the better for the upbuilding of the town.
1t is asserted that the projectors of the
line have already closed negotiations with
French banking concerns to take the en-
tire bond issue for the building of the
line, amounting to $500, 900, and the
work of construction will be begun at
both ends of the line and pushed to COM
pletion.
All the surveys for the line between
Natchez and Meridian have been made
and rights of way secured.
For portion of the way the old right
of way of a railroad-the first eyer built
in Mississippi eastward-will be used for
distance of some twenty-five miles.
This will lessen the cost of construction
materially.
