NARROWLY ESCAPED DANGER.

The people Of Council Bluffs should feel
deyoutly thankful to the Board os Health
for the energetic methods by which the
spread OF diphthoria was prevented. ani the
dreadful disease practically stamped out"
said a local physician las, evening. THE
opportunity for an epidemic was never bet

was n few weeks ago" he cCn;iluel. ".ev
Cral peculiarly malignant cases were dis
covered among the pupils OF one Of the
largest public school buildings, located In

for the development and spread of the dis
sease, where a large proportion OF the peJ-
pie use well water and oren closets. are
the general rule. Yet the action taken by
the board OF health. and the Willingness
OF the members OF the stricken families TO
intclligently follow the rules of the board
stopped the Contag.on almCs. within the
limits assumed by the first development. Il
must be extremely gratifying to the men
who have the unpleasant duty OF admins er-
ing the health laws to meet with such an
intelligent Willingness to follow instruc-
tions."
There are now only few cases of diph-
thereto diseases in the city said City
Physician Jennings. "anI they are all con
valesCing. In my opinion about all DANCE.

minimizing the danger must be attributed
largely to the efficient manner IN which
the state laws We're administered. There
were excellent conditions for an outbreak
and ii is something 10 be more than merely
thankful for that II has been passed safely"
Digging into the reports OF health officers.
physicians and others interested that have
found their way into the city hall, the rather
interesting fact is developed that a very
large percentage Of the cases OF typhoid an !
scarlet fevers, diphthcril and other danger
oUs contagious diseases that have appeared
in the city recently have been in families
using well water for culinary AMI drinking
purposes. County Physician Keller. duriH :

from this township the election board failed

sent the members by the supervisors 20
come In and rectify their Cmiss ion, but they

for the county board was TO make out the

This is OF considerable Importance to a num-

siderable money was wagered on the result
at that figure. Not a few OF the bets have
been settled on the unofficial figures. think
ing that Hager had failed to make the re-
quired majority of $500. T. c. Dawson, re-
publican county chairman, said yesterday
that II the count in all the other counties
held UP anywhere near the unofficial returns
Hager would have over $500 majority.
The allowing OF the bills OF the election
boards has not yet been decided upon by
the board. This matter will be taken up
today and disposed of, an average being
struck Of the claims put in by the different
precincts and townships.
The claim OF V. H. Van Kirk of Silver
Greek for sl,535 damages was considered by
