Hon. John Waymirt , President; • As Secretary it is my duty to report to you the work of the Health Officers of Jasper county, for the year 1884. The statistics collected by the Secretary since the establishment of the Board, February Ist, 1882, are as fOilow8:' "“Marriages -iu 1882, 78; 1888, 8!: 1884,81,' Births reported—lßß2, 198; 1888, 210: 1884, 208Deaths reported—lßß2, 53; JBB3, G 7; 1884,54. ’ The births reported in 1884, occurred in towns and townships as follows: Rensselaer 28, Remington 21, Marion township 29, Jordan 20, Carpenter 21, Milroy 1. Hanging Groye 11, Gillam 8. Barkley 29, Walker 9, Keener 6, Newton 12,i Union 11: townships not reported, 3. Males 114, Fbmales 88, sex n>t reported, 1; total 203. No report from Kankakee or WFeatfield townships. !

October 4, November O, December 9. Of 54 deaths, 24 were under 5 and 6 were over 70 years of age, Of the four still-births, there were males 1, females 3. * The largest number Of deaths by one disease was 6by Pneumonia Consumption caused the death of but 3, ope to every 4.000 of population of the county. A noteworthy feature is the small number of deaths caused by that disease. Iu 1882 there wore 3, 1883, 2, 1884. 3. They died in the following months: March 3, April 2, May 1, August 1, September 1. Males 2, females 6. The deaths during the past year, as reported, have been less than 5 to the 1,000 population. * The eerctary of the State BoarJ says the deaths are from 12 to 15 to 1,000 of the population in the state. I am certain tho deaths in the county, not reported, would not raise the number to nty)re than 7 to the 1.000, which would prove Jasper to be one of, if not the healttiiest county in the state. Of the “Diseases D angerous to Public Health.” such as Small Pox, Scarlet fever, Diptheria, Malignant Typhoid fever, &0., two cases only, were report ed, both of Diptheria. If there were other cases of any of those diseases in the county the past year, not reported by the physicians in attendance, or if there were no physicians called, then the householders are liable to prosecution for hot reporting the same to tidy office. The same is true of any unreported births and deaths. , c .The physicians registered with the County Clerk, and residing in Jasper county, are as follows: Rensselaer. —J. H. Lough rid F. P. Bitters, M, B. Alter. R. Y. Martin. S. W. Ritchey, J. C Doming, W. W. Hardsell, I. B. Washburn. Remington,—S. C. Maxwell, D. H. Patton, M. W. Reigle. Wheat held.—Willard Stock Well.

THE INTER OCEAN. In 1885 The Inter Ocean enters upOa tiie fourteenth year of its existence. (liven unusual confidence by the> people in its early days it has steadily grown in favor until this day, when the publishers take pride in the fact that the paper goes into more homes and has a greater number of readers than any publication west of the Alleghanies. From the beginning —The Inter Ocean has stood firmly by the, principles of the Republican party, and has, .in season and ouv of season, contended for "protection to American Industry.” It does not agree with the idea that tiie mission of the Republican party is finished; on the contrary it beiieves . that, purified by adversity, it will in the near future again rise Vo the higher planes of .thought and action and be ■completely restored confidence of the American people. The i most important agencies in accomplishing this result wilt be Republican journalists,. If a reliable, stanch Republican newspaper whs important *jvfien the Republican party was in power, it is, douoly so now that - the Democracy control t.»e National Government. Tub Inter Ocean wilt in the future as in past be the medium through which the best Republican thought will fie given to tiie people. It will voice the coiivictioiis of advanced Republicans wiihotit being unfair even to Bourbon Democrats. It will be aggressively Republican without beii7g bitterly paftisafi, and wii] give as much attention to the affairs of Cleveland’s administration as it would have given to tne administration of Mr. Blaine had he been elected. With an Associated Press franchise, with special Wires reaching to New York and Washington, with special correspondents in all important points of the country, The In,ter Ocean will use its facilities for collecting news without fear or favor, and so far. as govern mental affairs or party movements arc ttouoerned give a fuller record than any other paper. ■ .. , ■ . All of the old departments will be continued The scope of tiie WOMAN'S KINGDOM will be widened so us to take in all the industrial and reform movements in which woman are interested and engaged. OUR CURIOSITY SHOP, now a standard, will be given greater variety and interest. In tne FARM AND IIOME and ollur department? the widest, possible range of topics will be discussed. Of original short stories and se iarihi, the very nest by American and English authors will be given during the year. Arrangements have been made to publishduring the year short stories by BOYESEN, HOWELLS, EATHROP, and others, and a new serial by ihe j author of '•One Summer,'' and to publish all thesein addition to the seriVis , by MISS BiIADDON and other English authors. >+ In every department of news and literatureTPhe Inter Ocean wifi make a better record than ifever has diffre.
