The annual skating carnival of the
Ladles' Boat Club was held on the thick
Ice at Washington park J e&terd'ay and was
one of the most successful in the history
or the club. There were probably 1,000
people present during the afternoon, the

A great deal of work had been done on
the Ice to render Is as nearly perfect as
possible, and the efforts of the management
were rewarded. Barring a brittleness due
to the extreme low temperature and small
spots of snowed Toughness here and there,
the surface was of the best.
Much interest was displaced in the vari

the day. "What mattered It that a cold

and that the temperature was hovering
suspiciously close to zero? Of course, it
brought blue noses, cold toes and numb
fingers, but nobody minded that, for there
was the clubhouse to go to and a big,
cheery wood Are sending out all sorts of
neat. Besides, this gala event only comes
once in the year, and minor discomforts
were not heeded.
There was a very large proportion of girls
and young women on the ice, and rival
colors worn bya number of them lent a
pleasing touch to a very pleasing scene.

KANSAS CITY-HEALTHY
AXXUAL DEATH BATE PER 1,000 OP
POPULATION lO.O.
Present Winter Wns Remarkable In
.Its Severity Upon the Aired, and
Insurance Statistics Were
Shattered.
Th city health department has prepared
Its annual report for 1S9S, showing that,
from the standpoint of health alone, Kan
sas City Is a good place to live in. Based
on a pppulatlon of 200,000, the death rate
for the year was 10.80, or an average of
not quite eleven people to every 1,000.
The total number of deaths was 2.1S1,
January heading the list, with 209, and
September proUng to bo the healthiest
month, vwth 12S. These statistics do not
bear out the theory of physicians and life
Insurance companies 'as to the age when
death is most likely to occur. For instance,
last year the heaviest death list was
among people between the ages of SO and
40, the number djing between thoso aged
being 27S, a time of life when the aver
age human being is supposed to be in the
best condition to resist disease. Over one
fourth of the deaths were among children
between the ages of 1 and 5 jears, the
total number being 591. Life, in Kansas
City is conducive to longevity, as eleven
people Ued to pass the 90 mark 'and al
most reach the 100 mark before death over
took them. Only forty-two persons grew
sufficiently tired of life to commit suicide.
The births were more numerous than the
deaths, the total being 2,877, of which 0
occurred In August, the highest number in
any one month, and VS In September, the
lowest number in any one month. .
The city dispensary did a rushing bus
iness in 1S9S, the druggist filling 20.D49 pre
scriptions. The city phjsician and his as
sistants treated 1S.C19 patients at the board
of health, and made 4.416 visits. The total
number of children vaccinated was 2,300.
While Kansas City was not visited by an
epidemic the past ear there were enough
cases of contagious diseases to keep the
health department busy, the total number
being 1,161. Of this nunjber 792 were
measles and 193 scarlet fever.

samples did not contain the required
amount of butter fat. There were sixty
four convictions in police court for the
offense.
There were 266 deaths in January and
on accounSt of the unusual cold and damp

have been responsible for about one-third

MR. MACMILLAN EXPLAINS.
-Ee?,s, "WnyL Gas Company HaSjDcduct
eu 40 Per Cent From the'l'rlce '
of City Gas.
In the examination of the books of the
Kansas City, Missouri, Gas Company, by
the council committee, it was learned tliatt
In estimating the gross receipts of the
.company. 40 per cent of tho $10,000 a year
received from the city for street lighting
was deducted for maintenance charges be
fore the city's charge of 2 per cent on the
gross receipts of the company was figured.
When Alderman Munson and the otheri
members of the company were made aware
of this they decided to call the attention
of the council to It in the report which
will bo submitted in about two weeks. The
committee is of the opinion that the gas
company should include all of the $10,0u0
In its gross receipts.
In explanation of the action of the gas
company, k. Macmillan, the secretary, said:
We have made payment to the city of 2
per cent of the gross receipts from the sales
of all gas speclrically and fully, as we ara
directed to do in terms of our contract with
the city. It will be noted that section 3
tequires us to pay '2 per cent of the gross
receipts from the sales of all gas sold.'
Section 4 of our ordinance states that in
making a bid for the annual contract for
the supply of gas to the city for street
lamps, the rate shall not exceed $12 per
annum for street lamps burning gas at the
r1..0' fiVr (4) feet Per hour for the moon
light, or $18 per annum for all night schedule,-
said sum in either case to include
lighting, extinguishing and cleaning. In
determining the amount recehed from the
city for gas sold, through street lamps, the
actual cost of lighting, extinguishing and
cleaning Is deducted from the rate (now
fli per annum), the remainder is the gross
receipts for the ras sold.
"bection 2 of our franchise prohibits the
Eas c?Spany from charging more than $1
per 1,000 cubic feet for gas for 'public or
private consumption.' The amount of gas
consumed by each public light for a jcar
under tho moonlight schedule would be
.abput 8,000 cubic feet, at $1 per 1,000, the
maximum rate the company can charge,
the gas consumed by each light would cost
$3, but tho company is not only required
to furnish the gas necessary for each street
lamp, but also to light and extinguish and
clean the lamp, and It is for furnishing
S.000 cubic feet of gas and tho work, of
lighting, extinguishing and cleaning the
lamps that It is allowed $12 per year. To
construe the $12 as a receipt for gas alone,
would not only do violence to section of 4
of the franchise, which expressly declares
that It shall bo for lighting and extin
guishing the lamps, as well as for furnish
ing the gas, but it would be authorizing
the company to charge the city $1.50 per
1,000 for the gas used in the street lamps
when section 2 of the franchise expresslv
prohibits it from charging more than $1
per 1,000. " '
"By deducting the cost of lighting and
extinguishing the strcefHamRsif rom the $L2
we have a sum slightly lessMhan $1 per
1,000 as the gross sum received for the gas
supplied In lighting the street 'lamps. So
construed there is no conflict between the
different sections of the franchise, and the
city receives 2 per cent of every dollar of
recelptB of the company from all gas sold.
"The company has paid the. city between
$12,000 and $15,000 per annum, and that sum
would only bo increased about $200 per an
num In case it should be required to pay
2 per cent on its receipts for lighting, ex
tinguishing and cleaning the street lamps
as well as from the gas sold, but we feel
that we have put the proper construction
on the company's franchise and paid all
that Is due the city. If, however, we are
mistaken, we shall, of course, promptly
rectify the matter: but as we live in Mis
souri, we ought to be shown."
WANT TO G0JNT0 OPERA.
Many Kansas City Aspirants Seek En-'
Basements With the Xellaen
Comlo Opera Company.
The extraordinary success of Miss Alice
Nielsen has Inspired many other Kansas
City singers with the ambition to go Into
opera. Mr. George C. Crager, .business
manager, said last night that he had re
ceived sixty applications during the past
w eek, but that there were no vacancies ex
isting or likely to exist in the company,
and therefore there was little hope for the
applicants. There are two oung women,
however, who may be sent for to join the
chorus.
Miss Nielsen's remarkably successful en
gagement' closed last night. The matinee
performance was a verltarjle ovation for
the young prima donna. More than 500
women occupied the gallery, and many
stood on each floor. Miss Nielsen received
a bouquet of three dozen American Beauty
roses with the compliments of Miss Maud
Fritz, the bride-elect of Millionaire Flood.'
BRIGHAMITES MEET.
Elder Humphreys Declares That Con
gressman Roberts Will Be
Surely Seated.
The annual conference of the followers
of Brigham Young in the state of Missouri
is In progress at Music hall. Independence.
Eighteen elders are In attendance and tho
session is to last three days. F. H. Nad
Ier, who has been stationed In Kansas
City for the past ear, is the presiding offi
cer. The' eiders who hae been laboring
in the religious field, of Missouri are to be
in session until Monday morning. Last
night at Music hall the opening session
was held and was presided over by Elder
Humphreys, of Paris, Id., and Elder Nad
ler. Informal talks were made on doctrinal
subjects of Interest to the faith. There
will bo a session this morning at 10 o'clock,
one this "afternoon at 2 o'clock and to
night at-7:30 o'clock. 1
There Is a dearth of women at the con
ference, yet all are happy and aver that
one is sulficient, because the law s.is so.
Elder Humphrejs has been laboring with
great zeal at Klrksvllle, Mo., and has, been
ery successful.
"I have been In the field for tbe past
two j ears," ho said, "but expect to return
home in about two weeks. Poljgamy was
never practiced in this state. Relative to
the seating of Congressman Roberts, I
have not much of an opinion to express.
1 believe that ho will be seated and I do
not think it w ill affect the church one way
or another. Roberts' election to the house
of representatives was purely along politi
cal lines. More Gentiles oted for than
against him. He is one of the most gifted
orators in the West, and Is prominent in
the church as well. He was opposed, jou
know, by Governor Wells, who is a Mor
mon. I affirm that there has not been a
plural marriage in the church since 1S90.
Roberts married his wives prior to that
date."

THE NEWS AT LEAVENWORTH.
Judse Hook Avoids a Demonstration
by Slipping; Into Town Ahead
of Time.
LEAVENWORTH, KAS.. Feb. 4.-(Spe-clal.)
Judge IV. C. Hook did not arrive on
the 1:40 Burlington to-day as he had been
announced, 'for the reason that he had
quietly slipped into town on the 10:30 Mis
souri Pacific the night previous. By this
coup Judge Hook saved his modesty the
severe Jolt of listening to the laudatory re
marks of his many friends.
At 9 o'clock this morning he was at his
desk in his law office, poring over the
abundance of work that had accumulated
during his absence. From now until March
1, he will be a very busy man, finishing
his connection with the law business of the
firm of Baker, Hook & Atwood.
Shortly before March 1. he will have ad
ministered, probably by Judge Philips, of
Kansas City, the oath of office. Judge
Hook's first term of court will probably
be held in "Wichita on the second Monday
in March. He will also hear court at
Leavenworth, Topeka and Fort Scott. In
addition to his duty as judge of the United
