down at Hutchinson, q picture Of
which they may want to throw upon
the screen. This big building Is the
state reformatory. Il has two hun
dred steel cells and there Is not an

secure pictures Of 48 out Of los coun'

THE POPULARITY OF THE NAME
tHERA1n - -s-Ei

New York Herald: In view of the
overwhelming preference shown by it,
readers in changing the Chicago Record
Herald and Inter Ocean to the Chicago
Herald it is interesting to note thas
the name "Herald'' predominates
among the newspapers throughout the
country. In the United States there
are now nearly 100 papers answering
to the name Herald. There are
fifty-five Heralds in Illinois, thirty
three in Indiana and twenty.eight in
Iowa and New York state also has a
good proportion. This is striking tes-
timony Of the popularity Of this name,
and were the great Shakespeare living
today we believe he would be tempted
to revise his celebrated remark,
"What's in a name7'' 81

SOME ODD DEATH REPORTS

New York World: The chief stats
tician of Wisconsin, in examining the
death certificates filed by physicians
with the state board Of health, has dis
covered and disclosed some Of more
than local interest. They reveal sucn
alterations Of sense and science in the
diagnosis Of disease and the causes of
death, as to merit consideration from
reformers who wish to put nearly
every act Of human life under medical
supervision.
A few instances must serve to IL
lustrate the nature Of the multitude.
One report is this: "Went to bed
feeling well, but woke up dead.' An
other says: "Do not know the cause
of death, but patient fully recovered
from last illness.'' A third reported:
"Last illness caused by chronic rheu-
matism, but was cured before death. =
Still another: deceased never hal
been fatally sick. And this: Died
suddenly; nothing serious. =
Some reports are mere absurdlt1es,
such as: "Kicked by horse shod on
the left kidney Died suddenly at
the age of one hundred and three To
this time he bid fair to reach a ripe
old age.'' ''Deceased died from blood
poison, caused by broken ankle,
which is remarkable, as the automobile
struck him between the lamp and the
radiator. !" A mother is reported to
have "died in infancy
The significance Of these reports lies
in the fact that they emanate from
