Was Eighteenth Death From Diph-
liberia Since Last August

The death of Mary KnowIton, g.
year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs
George Knowlton, 1880 Morris ave-
nue., Saturday night, was the seventh
death to be caused in Topeka by diph-
liberia this year, and the eighteenth
resulting from the diphtheria cpl
den1ic which started in August of last
year.
The death rate. based on the num-
Der of cases reported, is steadily on
the increase. 1t has been pointed out
that in all epidemics. the case fatality
increased with the duration of the
epidemic. This is true irrespective of
the decrease in the actual number of
cases reported.

On the question, which will be

In case it is decided Rosa is the
mother, Frantz will be bequeathcd

his first job. He got to be foreman of

and G accomplished the impossible.
By use of water jacks and self made
devices he made water run up hill. He

w. j. Peters for a price said to be in
excess of 100000. He then went back
to Pasadena and engaged in less siren
