TRICHINOSIS IN CEDAR FALLS.-.GREAT
EXCITEMENT

Reported for the Cedar Falls Gazette.
One day last week, one Of our old and
well-known citizens, who is noted for
his fondness for ham and eggs, sat down
to his comfortable dinner consisting in
part of liberal supply of those articles.
The ham being of his own curing was
OF course, particularly nice. After the
ceremonies customary in christian fam
lilies he proceeded to do the honors of
his position IS paterfamiiias. Some
members of his household, who had
doubtless been reading Of the ravages of
the disease, 7richinosis, at Marion, de-
clined to par+ake of the ham, whereup-
on the pater, it is said, lcctured them
in strong terms upon the utter foolish
ness of refusing to eat and enjoy the
good things set before them, and their
absurd credulity in believing all sensa-
tional newspaper items and the vaga-
ries of the medical profession. After
partaking with great gusto of good,
square meal, embracing an unusually
large proportion of his favorite article,
the happy equilibrium of his mind
was disturbed by the report that verita-
BILE trichina was really present and east
ly discernable in some fragments re-
naming after his dinner. The Colonel
was curious, and upon inspection could
hardly believe the evidence Of his own
senses. But on closer examination,
with glasses, the hideous looking hairy
parasite was plainly revealed in all its
deformity. The certainty of the fact so
excited the Colonel, that, it is said, he
for an instant was forgetful of the Dig
nifty Of his high official position and
the usual restraints Of morality and re-
ligion, and actually made use of sundry
expletives not found in the unabridged
editions Of our standard dictionaries
But the matter at once became serious
and urgent. A deadly nausea seized
him when upon rapid but careful cal
culation, based upon the quantity Of
ham consumed by him, he found that
at that dinner alone, he must have
swallowed more than nine hundred and
ninety trichinas. In the midst of his
trouble happy thought struck him
He seized his hat and rushed for the

Chester Sawyer, who departed this life on
last Sabbath in Christian triumph. was born
January I'D, 1897, in Middlobury, VT, and EN-
igrated with his family twelve years ago to
this city, which ever since has been his hons q
BY his integrity and morality, his enterprise
Ing spirit and public acts, he has contributed
in no small degree to the virtue, refinement
and prosperity of Cedar Falls. He had warm
and large place in the affections Of his friends
and neighbors, who evinced their affcctionate
regards by an unusually large attendance at
his funeral, which took place Monday at r. NJ.
at the house. .-... ..
In 1912 he became thoroughly convinosa Of
the necessity of a change of heart through faith
In Christ, sought and obtained pardon and
peace in believing, and united with the NJ. l..
Church, in the communion Of which he lived
and died. He was worthy and influential
member Of the Church holding for years the
office Of Steward and Class-leader, which po-
sitions he filled with honor to himself and
great acceptability to his brethren; though
liberal toward all, he was a warm friend to the
Church OF his choice and an able defender Of
her doctrines and usages. Indeed, he possess
ed q clear, logical and comprehensive mind.
embracing truth after close investigation, and
when once received maintained 1t with manly
and conscientious independence of thought
and argument.
He was true patriot as well as q devoted
Christian. He was a good citizen, q man of
deep pety, kind father and an affectionate
husband, and he will be greatly missed in the
community, in the church-especially in tho
family circle. But, having died i'm the Lord,
he rests from his labors and his works do fol-
low him.

strife,
Only win double life;
They have but left our weary ways,

Chicago Dons tons to the Orphans Home.

Correspondence Cedar Falls Gazette.
CHICAGO, June 18th, 1865.
Friend Perkins:
Having in the course of my rambles
dropped down here at Chicago, I have
put in what time could spare i'm look
ing out for this interests OF our little or
phans at the Home" and find a very
generous spirit manifested. doubtless

kindness of that gentleman, am en-
abledto make the acquaintance Of other
generous and kind-hearted men from

Doctors office. Breathless, excited and
affrighted he gasped, Doctor give me
an emetic." The Doctor, upon obtain
ing an Ineligible statement of the cause
of the Colonel's perturbation, quoted
his fears by assuring him that since he
had all his life been eating hams of his
own curing and had never yet had the
disease, trichihosis, he would risk him
few years moro if he would see that
his ham should be well cooked. Few
persons seeing the Colonel to-day,
would suspect that he had 50 recently
suffered so severe an illness.

G.. d. WILCOX,
PAT. RYAN,
CHAS CAMPBEI,

The inquest was held and the remains
Inferred near tie place where the body
was found. The corpse, having lain in
the water a long time, was very much
decomposed and, disiigured. The de-
ceased had on n black cashmere coat,
butternut colored pants and vest, and
gaiter shoes-no collar. In the pockets
Were found a portemonie containing
twenty-six dollars in greenbacks and
about one dollar in change, a large two
bladed knife, pockct-comb, and a
small key. From the fact that he wore
Masonic pin, he was believed to have
been member of the Masonic order
There were no papers of any kind by
which the body could be identified. 1t
was evident that tho deceased was a
man about five feet and ten inches in
height, large and strongly built, prob
ably weighing not far from one hun
dred and seventy pounds. The Coron-
er's Jury had no other evidence to aid
them in solving the mystery than that
narrated above; but subsequent devel-
opments go far to clear the matter up.
Along about the first of March a Ger
man, named Clement Vogt, shoemak-
or by trade, came to the Falls and took
board at the Inman House. lie repre-
scented that it was his intention to start
n shop here, and he was anXiously look
ing for letters and the arrival of stock.
He was rather a mysterious appearing
man, seeming to have some great troub-
lie weighing him down. He was at
the Inman House about three weeks.
A boy occupied room with him, and
one night he came to the boys bed,
shook him by the shoulders and told
him to wake up; and then the boy
heard the wretched man pacing the
floor enchanting in great anguish, so,
my God! O, my God !" In the morn
ing Vogt was gone, no one knew
whittier. He left Iris satchcl at the ho-
tel, and his collar and neck tie on the ia
bic IN his room. He had been at the
house about three weeks, bringing the
date Of his disappearance about the
first of April, and Mr.. Inman, the land
lord, supposed that he had gone away
thus suddenly to save paying his board.
The lock to the satchel was rather Pc
culiar one, for Mr.. Inman could find
no key in town that would open it, and
was obliged, to avoid breaking the lock,
to have one fitted. In the satchel We're
found, beside clothes, a quantity Of pa
pcrs, number of photographs, and a
demit from the Masonic lodge Mt Xenia,
Illinois. This man, Mr.. Inman says,
was large, wore a black coat, butternut
colored pants, gaitcr shoes, and Mason
ic pin.
The description of Vogt answers ex-
actly to that of the man found dead in
the river. The key found in the
drowned mans pocket fitted the lock
of the satchel. Vogt's actions while at
Inman's would go to provo that he
came to his death, not by accident, but
in pursuance of a settled purpose to
take his own life. The demit from the
lodge at Xenia and other papers have
been placed in the hands of S. H. Pack
ard, Esq, who Is endeavoring to clear
up this mysterious matter.
