DR. J. N. HURTY'S REPORT.

Startling Facts to Be Given the State Medical Society.

Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, is chairman of the committee on state medicine and hygiene of the Indiana State Medical Society, and read the committee's report before the society at its annual conference in South Bend yesterday. In the report that he made to the society in 1899 Dr. Hurty estimated that in 1900 there would be 4,454 deaths from tuberculosis. His report yesterday showed that the actual number was 4,441, indicating that his prediction was pretty close to the reality. The calculation or prediction made in 1S!H) was based on the consumptive death rate

THE CRAWFOHDSYILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

which existed in Indiana at that time and upon Dr. Hurty's confidence tnat it would not be decreased becauee no steps would be taken looking to its decrease. "Many states are taking active precautions," says the report, "in the way of the prevention of consumption,

which is now called the 'great white plague.' The ways and means committee of the last legislature of Indiana refused to recommend any appropriation for this work." With this significant statement the report closes the discussion of consumption.

Some very startling facts are given in the report concerning the ravages of cancer in this state last year. The existing death rate in 1899 indicated that in 1900 there would te 920 deaths from this dread disease. The estimate was top conservative. The actual number of deaths from cancer last year was 1,034, a rate of 00.2 per 100,000 population. The rate in cilifs was 58.1 and in the country 02 4. ''It is true, therefore,1' continues the report,, ''that for this year euueor has destroyed almost as many as dipntheria and influenza (grip) combined, and also almost as

HiS BIRTHDAY.

Rev.E. Johnson and wife.of Mulberry wore in the city Tue da ?,the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Eddingfield of west Wabash avenue. Mr. Johnson celebrated his seventieth birthday Tuesday, a dinner suitable to the occasion being served at the Eddingfield homo •.

Mr. Johnson is one of tlic best. k::own MetbouU.1, ministers in Indiana and is especially well known in this county where he bas in the past tilled very acceptably several charges. He is still as active and aggressive as ever and bids fair to live many years yet to worry the devil and his minions -and Mr. Johnson is one of the kind that worries them, too. He was born in Ogdensburg, N. Y., May 14, 1831 and was taken to Canada by his parents when seven years of age. He grew up there and after hi3 marriage waa employed by the Methodist Ghurch to conduct the Alderville Industrial school for Indians located near Price Lake between Vetertor? i° Qni4!'!Q: ITe spent ten years a& a teacher, five among iLe Indians and five in a white settlement near the Indian village. In 18G8 he came to Indiana and located in Lafayette, teaching two years in the schools of that city. In 1S70 he entered the Methodist ministry, beint' admitted at Terre Kaute- H? remain^ in the active ministry until 189§ when he asked and was granted a sUpei-iiijUUttttiil reliitloa to the Ounfei-enCe. He then removed to Mulberry, in Clinton county, and he still resides there. He is an especially active temperance man, and since his residence in Mulberry has succeeded in closing the three saloons that flourished when he went there. He is not a third party Prohibitionist but he has accomplished more in the cause of temperance than four-fifths of the active members of that party. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have eight children living. Two of them, Mrs. Eddingfield and Charles Johnson, live in this county.

many as scarlet fever, cererbro-spinal meningitis, whooping cough, measles and puerperal fever."

Under the head of influenza the report says the mortality from this disease reached 426 last year, and that there were Si.meihiug like 100,000 cases in Indiana. "At the lowest estimate," sayB the report, "there will be one thousand more deaths due to complications brought on by influenza. The disease seems to have become domesticeted with us. Its restriction in some degree seems possible if recognized early. Bacteriological examination is necessary to early diagnose tho disease, but there is no provision in this state for such work."

On the subject of smallpox tho report says that the terrible malady has been constantly present in Indiana for ayear past. The number of cases reported to date, beginning with Jan. 1,1901, is 967, and the number of death 8—2 in January in Allen county and 5 in March as follows: Allen, DeKalb, 1 Madison, 1 Tipton, 1 Daviess, 1. In April one person died of smallpox in Marion county. "At new points of outbreak," says the report, "there is always trouble making people believe that smallpox exists. This is because every community supports one or more practitioners who have never seen smallpox and stand ready to deny the presence of the disease. Even when a diagnosis is proven such persons refuse to be convinced because they, having made the mistake, will not change their minds. Business men are prone to look upon a correct diagnosis as inimical to business interests. They are frequently slow to realizo that the disease must be attacked and pui out, and that it will not stop with the denying of its existence. In some localities the physician or health officer who tells the truth has been abused for the favor ho has done, and tho abuse becomes permanent if, perchance, the disease is prevented from spreading, because this fact is then pointru io Bu proof that tho disease was not smallpox. The claim by some that vaccination does not prevent the present smallpox and that even those

who have had it may be successfully vaccinated cannot be sustained. Investigations into many such statements have found them untrue."

When asked for the reason of the low mortality rate in smallpox Dr. Hurty said it is due to' the fact that the disease has been greatly weakened by the widespread custom of vaccination.

Scared the Horses.

The steam "calliope," which wound up the circus parade at noon Tuesday, had the effect of scaring about a dozen horses along the line of march. Several horses climbed upon the sidewalk and P. P. Mount probably prevented Dr. Niven's horse from doing considerable damage by pulling him down and sitting on his head loi' a season.

The horse of Miss Lucy Patterson, colored, took fright while standing in front of Berry's grocery

1

and wont

whirling down Walnut street, kicking and plunging like a newly caught bass in a boat bottom. The buggy was simply knocked to pieces and the horse with fragments of the shafts still hang' ing to him, was captured in front of the residence of Benjamin Wasson on College street.

Gloriously Acquitted.

Charley Seaman, who was tried last Tuesday for trespassing on lots which Wilber Houk claimed ho had rented of H. H. Ristine, was promptly acquitted by the jury. Seaman was working for H. H. Ristine at the time of the alleged trespass and Mr. Ristine emphatically denied ever having rented Houk the property. The trial occupied the entire day and furnished no end of sport for the few who were present. The jury was laughing half the time at the rich evidence and hot passages between counsel and wUneesea, and eyeathe court smiled occaslonlly. Had tho public been aware of the nature of the proceeding the court room would not have accomodated the crowd.

Andrew Jackson Thompson,

Mary Thompson has filed suit for divorde from hof husband, Andt'ew J. Thomp&Hij asking in addition the caro and custody of their t-wo children. Tho complaint is rathe? sensational and Jennie Lightcap is named as corespondent. It is alleged that Thompson was a lazy, drunken, abusive follow, who made his wife earn the living for the family and on one occasion whei she was sick in bed took her money and went oil to Lafayette on a pleasure trip.

Dr. Steele Seriously III.

A Now Albany dispatch says: "Presiding Elder J. E. Steele, D. D., presiding elder of the New Albany district of tho Indiana conference, is critically ill and his recovery is exceedingly doubtful. He has been unable to do district work since Jan. 1st."

Dr. Steele is well known in Crawfordsville and Montgomery county, where he was formerly stationed. He was married hero and has frequently visited here since leaving.

bp Against It.

Tom Watson and Bert Newlin, of Smartsburg, were arrested Monday afternoon on the complaint of B. F. Lane, who charged them with drunkenness and disorderly conduct on the streets of Smartsburg. Lane complained that the conduct of tho boys in this regard was chronic. They were before Mayor Elmore Tuesday and pleaded guilty to intoxication. The other charge was dismissed.

The Beautiful Schiller.

John A. Gilbert has leased tho room at 118 west Main street and handsomely refitted it, and will there talk the merits of the Schiller piano. Mr. Gllbort has hud many years experience in the piano business and states that in the Schiller is found a reliable piano made by a reliable factory, and one he has no hesitancy in recommending.

Didn't Like the Machine.

Tuesday afternoon the horse of Swisher Brothers, tho painters, was standing in front of the residence of Laroy Clore, on east Jefferson street, when an automobile came by. The horee took fright and ran off, furnishing all kinds of excitement for a season. No great domage was done.

Tho Great Scourge

Of modern times is consumption. Many cures and discoveries from time to time are published but Foley's Honey and Tar does truthfully clalm'to cure all cases in the early stages and always affordB comfort and relief in the very worst cases. Take no substitutes.

SORES AND ULCERS.

Bores and Ulcers never become chronie unless the blood is in poor condition—is sluggish, weak and unable to throw off the poisons that accumulate in it. The system must be relieved of the unhealthy matter through the sore, and great danger to life would follow should it heal before the blood has been made pure and healthy and all impurities eliminated from the system. S.S.S. begins the cure by first cleans* ing and invigorating the blood, building the general health and removing from ne

STATE ENCAMPMENT DATE.

National Guardsmen Will Meet In Indianapolis July 21 to 28 Inclusive.

Adjutant-General Ward last Tuesday announced that tho annual encampment of the Indiana National Guard will bo hold in Indianapolis from Sunday, July. 21, to Sunday, the 28th. The site for the camp will probably bo near Fairvlew Park, where tho camp was located last year, although this has not been finally determined. The encampment last year extended from Monday until Saturday only this year it will begin Sunday and end on {Sunday, giving tho guardsmen a whole week for the duties of camp. There was objection to the short time the soldiers had for drill and camp duties last year, and also to tho fact that the camp did not extend over ono Sunday at least. It is expected this year that the guardsmen will arrive in the city Sunday, July 21, and that they will not leave until the night of Sunday, July 28, or porhapg not until the next day.

It is not thought that any new companies will be added to the guard before the encampmentj although Jt ig proposed to reorult the guard bv the addition of .four new companies before any attempt is made to form anew regiment. The governor's staff is expected to appear at the encatapment, and altogether the camp this year is expected to be ono of the best held in the state for several years.

Improving the Elevator.

Attica Ledger: M. J. Lee's elevator :u Columbia street, recently purchased of Armstrong Colvert, is undergoing extensive improvements which, when completed, will make it modern in every respeot, as we'll as safe and strong. New elevators, dumps, floors and timbers are being put In. Chester Britton, manager of the elevator, is a very pleasant gentleman, with whom it is a pleasure to do business. His efforts to make the elevator safe and attractive will be appreciated by the farmers all over the surrounding country.

Mr. Shuey Coming Again.

Lafayette Courier: "Rev. T. J. Shuoy, tho able Valparaiso evangelist, will return to this city next Sunday and at the regular preaching hours will occupy tho pulpit of the First Christian church. Rev. Shuey's second visit will probably determine tho matter aa to who will be the regular pastor of the Christian church. He has created a very favorable impression with the congregation and his recent visit to the city resulted in several additions to the church."

Will be Extended.

It was thought that the circuit cour would be able to adjourn for tho summer vacation about Juno 1st, but it is now realized that this cannot bo done. It will probably be nearly tho middle of June before tho adjournment is finally taken.
