The disease now is most prevalent in
Wabash county, according to reports to
the state board. In this county 1896
cases and seventeen deaths have been re-
ported. The death rate Is low, the num-
her of deaths equalling only one in ev-
cry eighty two cases reported.
Although only SIS cases have been re-

we're eighty-eight deaths, or more than
one for each ten cases. st. Joseph county
reports only thirty cases with twenty
five deaths, but this is obviously due to q

cases, for the death rate for no disease Is
as high as this indicates.
Allen county, of which Ft. Wayne is
the county seat, is third in the list, with
6SS cases and nineteen deaths.
