Curtis, a writer for the Chicago Record-Herald.says that Chicago ranks second among the cities of the world in point of salubrity.

The drainage canal also has its effects and aids in supplying the city with pure water. A severe thunder storm visited the territory about Decatur yesterday, though no damage was done ' in this city.
