FRANK WHITcoMR DEAD.
Another Victim Of Spinal Meningitis in
Ilwaco.


Captain Archie Pease last night received
a telegram from Captain W. n. whit
comb. Ilwaco, announcing the death Of
his son Frank. from spinal meningitis.
Captain Whtcomb is one Of the best
known pilots on the Columbia river and
his many friends will deeply sympathze
with him in this his sore afiicton. The
young man who has found so untImely
an end was just turning IS years Of age,
and was very popular amongst his ac-
qualntances.
The following telegram as to the con-
dtion and form Of this dread disease In
Ilwaco was received yesterday:
Ilwaco. Wash. April 2.-Cerebro spl-
nal or spotted fever is a specific infec-
tlous disease and Inflammation Of the
cerebro spinal meningitis or membrane
covering the brain and spinal cord The
disease at Ilwaco Is sparadic. II Is most
common in the winter and cold weather
Of spring in countries where it occurs.
The cases at IlwacO four in number, are
the first to occur In the history Of the
place Each Of the young men taking II
had had lagrippe except one who had
Just returned from Honolulu and cali
fornia and was not enjoying the best Of
health before taking meningitis All Of
them were working and the first three
worked very hard and when quite warm
were exposed to the cold northwest wind
which has prevailed for the last three
weeks. Two Of the cases only have died,
one Is dying, and but little hope for the
other to get we'll Should the cold north
west wind continue young persons, es-
peclally those who have had lagrippe,
should avoid getting warm and expos
ing themselves to a cold draft or wind
and those who have 10 work, thus eX-
posing them, should when through, wrap
up. A heavy silk handkerchief worn
around the neck is valuable to prevent
IL. Cases treated with morphine to al
lay pain are almost sure to die. Such
was the result in the great epidemic Of
1873 when thousands died in the ohio
Mississippi and Missouri river valleys
and the Lake states during the very cold
weather Of January and February or
that year. The disease Is not contagious
and is extremely rare in warm weather.
The case reported at ocean Park IS re-
ported to be tin poisoning. The patient
had been working on the Genmorag and
eating canned meats. and Is reported out
of danger. No one need have any fears
Df taking It by coming to llwaco.
The son Of Captain Whltcomb Is the
one reported dying.

The funeral Of the late Frank Whit
comb will be held at Ilwaco tomorrow
afternoon.
