Election in Hancock

The result OF the election in Hancock
township yesterday was surprise in
that the contest for the treasurership
proved such walk away for M. M. Shea
who had majority OF 231. 1t had been
thought the result would be In doubt
until the last votes were counted. The
township returned to the old-time dem
ocratic majority and everyone OF the can
didates on that ticket were elected. At
Oskar the Finnish vote was surprising.
Finn and Shea got the bulk OF the votes
there, while for the remainder OF the
ticket the republican candidates got the
old-time vote. The following figures tell

Or. sHRApY ON VENTILATION.

Some Venerable Theories ON This Subject
That Have Been Exploded.
The effect Of expired air upon animal
life is the subject of an interesting arti-
Gle in The Medical Record by DR..
George +. Shrady, its editor. 1--WE need
not" says DIR. Shrady. emphasize the
evil effects Of what is usually called bad
ventilation. 1t Is perhaps true that
acute diseases are not TO be traced to
the same, but it may be safely stated
that there is a distinct deterioration Of
vital forces in those who are constantly
subjected to the impure atmosphere of
badly ventilated rooms. The cause of
the sickening sensation which comes
over us upon entering an atmosphere
contaminated with many breaths or of
the gradual deterioration of the vital
forces which follows confinement in such
an atmosphere is not known. For
number of years prior to 1883 the view
prevailed that the discomfort and dan
ger to health and life in badly ventilat-
ed rooms were largely due to organic
matters contained in the air expired,
and that the increase in carbonic acid
due to respiration has but little effect in
producing the bad results. Recently,
however, several experimenters have
concluded that the organic matters in
the exhaled breath are not harmful, at
least to animals.
Referring to recent experiments on
the subject. DIR. Shrady says: "The re-
suits Justify the conclusion that the dis
comfort felt in crowded, i'll ventilated
rooms is not due to excessive carbonio
acid or to bacteria or in most cases
to dusts Of any kind, but is in reality
due to excessive temperature and I'M
pleasant odors. Nothing in these ex.
periments shows the cause of the I'M
pleasant, musty odor Of an unventilated
room, and attention is called to the
curious fact that cases of fainting In
crowded rooms usually occur in women
and are connected, the authors think,
| with defective respiratory action due
to tight lacing Finally these investi-
cations, the authors declare. 60 to prove
that some of the theories upon which
| modern systems of ventilation are based
are either without foundation or doubt
| full, and that the problem Of securing
comfort and health in inhabited rooms
requires the consideration Of the best
methods Of preventing or disposing of
dust of various kinds. Of regulating
temperature and moisture and of carry
ing off poisonous gases derived from
heating and lighting apparatus rather
than Of simply diluting the air to GER
tain standard Of proportion of carhonic
| acid present.

Losses by Storms.

Sioux City Tribune: A. Pietrus,
of Pierre, arrived with four cars of
cattle. He says the cattle they are
running now they intended to carry
through the winter, but the late
storms made that an impossibility.
Losses, he says by reason of the
late storm, + not exaggerated and
will be quite heavy and a serious
blow to South Dakota catt!emen.
Losses were the heaviest and the
conditions worse east Of the river
from Pierre. West, because of the
breaks and bluffs, the range is not
in such bad condition and the losses
small. On the level country the
snow is three feet deep and the cat
tie cannot be punched or moved.
G. Steube, who came down on the
same train with cattle from Pierre,
reports he has 250 head east of the
river which he has been trying to
get out for over a week, without
success. Dead cattle are being dis
covered daily and more will sue
cumb from lack of forage.
