CENSUS OFFICE,
Washington, D. C., May 1,1889.
To tho Medical Profession:
The various medical associations
and the medical profession will be
glad to learn that Dr. John S. Bil
lings, Surgeon U. S. Army, has con
r-onted to take oharge of the Report
on tho Mortality and'Vital Statistics
of the United States as returned by
; the Eleventh Census.
As the United States has no sys
tem of registration of vital statistics,
sucbas is reliod upon by other civil
j ized nations for the purpose of ascer
taining the actual movement of pop
| ulation, our ceusus affords the only
opportunity of obtaining near an ap
' proximate estimate of birth and death
rates of much the larger part of the
country, which is entirely unprovided
with any satisfactory system of state
and municipal registration.
In view of this, the Census Office,
during the month of May this year,
will issue to the medical profession
throughout the country “Physician’s
Registers’’ for the purpose of ob
taining more accurate roturns of
deaths than it is possible for the enu
merators to make. It is earnestly
hoped that physicians in every part
of the country willjjo-operate with
tho Census Office in this important
work. The record should be kept
from Jane 1, 1889 to May 31, 1890.
Nearly .26, of the registration
books were filled up and returned -to
the office in 1880, and nearly all of
.theai used for statistical purpose.
llt is hoped that doublo this number
j will be obtained for the Eleventh
Census.
Physicians not receiving Registers
[ can obtain theui by sending their
i names and addresses to the Census
j Office, and, 'frith the Register, an of
| fioial envelope which requires no
stamp will be provided for their re
turn to Washington.
If all medical and surgical practi
tioners throughout the country will
lend their aid, .the mortality and
vital statistics of the Eleventh Cen
| .-ns will be more comprehensive and
[complete than they hare ever been.
Every physician should Lake a per-
I sonal pride in having this report a$
[full aud accurate as possible to
make it.
It is hereby promised that all in-
I formation obtained through this
I source shall J>e held strictly confi
| dential. Robert P. Porter,
Supt. of Census.
Centra! America must he a pleas
j ant country for a la/.y man. A let
! ter from Costa Rica tells how lire.
| people' there take lrfer easily. It
Lakes twenty employes to run a short
train of cars. All dress in gorgous
uniforms, and the conductor is re
splendent iu silver and gold decora
tions. Passenger.* purchase* tickets
on credit, aud sixty days are allowed
for the payment of freight bills. Out
• in the coatry goods are carried by ox
i teams, and it frequently takes a team
j u week to make fifty miles. Nobody
is in n'litttjy, and nobody ca«es to do
to-day what can be put off until to
morrow. The necessaries of life are
cheap, and long credit is forced upon
the purchaser. Nobody steals any
thing, and a poor teamster will carry
thousands of dollars many miles for
thirty cents. Such a thing as high
way robbery is unheard of. The
people hate no violent pejudice
against anything except hard work,
and they will do anything to help
a stranger until he proves himself
disagreeable. Ttren they will notify
him to leave, and if he is slow about
It they will force him to go.—New
York Telegram.

{ Herald, -
. Jost before tbc figjit at Williams,
burg nay company was on picket at
the front. The man on the loft of
me, as I Trent on guard at 10 o’clock
one night, was a Dutchman named
Jake Klein. Ho was a good natured,
obedient fellow, and not easily put
opt, but that night he was out of
sorts, and as the rebel pickets were
constantly firing in our direction
Jake finally got his dander up. It ,
was against orders to leave his post; ,
but after awhile he carqe lumbering
through tbe bushes like an ox team
and growled out:
Vbell, shall we do sometlngs?
What can ws do? I asked in re
turn.
Take ’em some prisoners, eh?
Yon’d better go back and keep
quiet.
But dose Rebels vbas shooting all
der vhile. Dot vhasn’t fair play. I
belief I go oafer uud shtop him.
Well, hurry up. I replied with a
laugh; and to my surprise and con
sternation he started off in the direc
tion of a rebel picket post. I called
him, but he answered back through
the darkness:
IfrThas all right. I make dot fel
ler behavo herself or pring him m
some prisoner!
Ho was gone half an'hour before
I heard anything. Then there was a
crashing in the brushy some swearing
and growling, and Jake appeared
with a full-rigged confederate in
fantryman, having a firm clutch on
his collar.
Here vha9 dose feller, be an
nounced as they came to a halt. He
doan’ promise to keep, shtill, and so
I pring him along..
Drat the onery Dutchman, gitowled
the Johnny. He stole up behind me
and jumped on to me like a mountain
before I heard him.
Who vhas some Dutchmans? said
Jake.
You was!
Look oudt a leedle, ole feller, or I*
knock off your head! I vhas only
Dutch iu my mouth; all .the rest vhas
Union. Come along and behave
herself, or I make you dead as crow
bars !
Jake had actnally captured a pick
et on his post and brought him off a
prisoner, and ho did it as any of the
rest of us would go out to drill. The
Reb. was so mad he cried, but he
was turned over to headquarters, and
Private Jake Klein had “Corporal”
as a handle to his'name after a few
days. —New York Sun.
Lately a former Congressman, un
mindful of lqs reduced estate, was
gently turned from the door of the
cabinet room. He had been a man
of prominence and wide influence,
even fame, in a certsin specialty of
public work.. All doors had been
open to him, and all. hands extended,
in welcome. Now he is a place seek
er, and by no means assured of suc
cess. His funds are low, too, and on
the top.of frequent disappointments
came this last blow to his pride. He
turned from the doorkeeper, walked
down the stairs and out of the man
sion with tears in his eyes. Such
are the fortunes of politics and the
reminders of failure which official
life presses upon a disappointed one
in this tomb of hopes, this whited
sepulcher of ambitions and fond
pectations. —Ex. /
The residence of Mr. A. Nichols,
of Timpas creek, was ransacked by
tramps last Friday, while he and hik
family were' absent. They emptied
trunks and drawers, but fortunately
overlooked a washstand drawer in
which was a pbeket-book containing
$250. The most yaluable article
taken was a plug of tobacco.—La
Junta-Tribune.
Judge T. M. Dickey received’ offi
cial *notico of his appointment as
Clerk of the District Court tast Sun
day evening. TJie appointment is
! satisfactory to both Republicans and
i Democrats. —La Junta’Tribune,
in his oration at the
the monument to Confederate sol
diers, at Nashville, Toon.,on the 16th
ult.,the Hon. W.‘C. T. Breckenridge,
of Kentucky, said:
“It is absolutely certain that there
never can be a revival of the attempt
to have a division of the United
States of America upon any lines
like nnto those between the Confed
erate and Federal governments. That
effort, when it. failed, failed necessa
rily forever, and there never was a
more unwise and unnatural sentiment
than the sentiment out' of wjuch has
grown so much bitterness, Sat the
people of the south did not recognize
absolutely the complete failure of
the attempt. There never has been
a man who deserved to be called a
thinker and a soldier who did not
recognize that the surrenders of 1865
were final and irretrievable, and there
has been* in no part of the south any
human being that had the slightest
influence who did not know that the
destiny of his children was commin
gled with that of the United States;
not only so, but that the growth and
prosperity of his state and section,
possibly its very existence, depended
upon its connection with the United
States. Let us have no misunder
standing about this matter. The
states that formed the Confederate
Government-and the people resident
therein recognize and have acted
upon that recognition that en-,
terprise was forever at an end, and
that the growth and prosperity and
power of their particular States de
pend upon their connection with and
relation to the United States. What
ever there is in the future for the
south iB indissolubly interwoven with
the Union of the States. There may
boa Union between Canada and the
eastern states, thjqre may be for other
sections of the ctivhtry possible pros
perity in separation, bat for the south
and her problems thero is no safety
but m a continued and indestructible
Union.
Ten thousand tons of .alfalfa hay
will be put up in the‘vicinity of
Rocky Ford this year. The hay
ought to bring at least five dollars
per ton. In addition to this, one
crop will be cut for seed which, fig
uring on a basis of last year’s crop
ought to bring from 830,000 to S4O,
000. It is safe to say that the hay
and seed crop combined will bring
the farmers $75,000 although many
estimate it at over SIOO,OOO. Is there
any reason on earth why this valley
should not thrive? With such ad
vantages as those we see no reason
why in *a few years we cannot have
a community of wealthy, prosperous
farmers, whero mortgaged farms are
•a thing of the past. —Rocky Ford

At a meeting of the citizens Tues

brate the'Fourth of July at Las Ani

While returning from Lamar last

The voracious potato bug has al
ready made his appearance m thd
country in immense numbers, thanks.
to the hot weather, and all over this *
state and New Jersey the farmers
have started in to fight him. iTie
dealers in farmers’ supplies in this
city have been busy all the week fill
ing orders for destroyers of the bugs.
A farmer from Berwyn stated yes
terday that on his farm the bugs had
dug down into the ground for tho
potato plants, a proceeding unheard
of before. In some portion of the .
Btate rose bugs, which attack grape
vines and rose bushes, are more
numerous than ever before.—Phi la?

Mr. Randall prophesies fl demo
cratic victory in the
campaign of 1892. He will proba?
bly turnout to be a poor prophet.
The are likely to fail for
two reasons—the united democracy
is not as strong as the
party when united. The man \yho
would make tho best candidate for
the democracy is Randall himself,
but the democrats have .not sense
enough to nominate him. They will
probably nominate some free trader
or low tariff advocate, and if they
do that they will be sure to be
beaten.—Denver Republican. #
The Chief family have pnt oat
over 2,000 fruit, forest and orna
mental trees on a claim half a mile
north of Chivington, nearly all of
which are growing nicely. We caa
not urge the planting of trees too
strongly. Buildings may bo erected
any time, but it takes time to grow
trees. There is nothing that will
add more to the beauty and attrac
tion of a home or to the valuO of a
farm, and that assists so materially*
to increase the rainfall as the grow-,
ing of trees and shrubs.—Chiving
ton Chief.
‘Cora planted two weeks ago is
now four inches high and well ready *
for the first plowing. Can the far
famed fertile valleys of the Mississ
ippi and the Missouri equal, to say
nothing of surpassing this? Verily
we sayeth not. This country has all,
qualifications those" preferred locali
ties..can boast of and the far greater
one of the best facilities for supply
ing tho great lack of rainfall they
are forced to suffer and which there
, is no means ot remedying.—Las An-,

A man connected with the peni
tentiary says that nearly all newly
■ arriving convicts go to their cells
serene in the belief that they will bo
' taken out within a few days. They
’ are thoroughly convinced that thb

1 whom they have doubtless had the
sweetest and most encouraging as
surances, will perform wonders to
secure their relief, and be nobly tas
sited by relatives and friends of the
prisoners.—Merry World.
