SPREAD OF A FATAL DISEASE.
Two More Deaths Reported From
Cerebro Spinal Meningitis.

Although cerebro spinal meningitis has
been prevalent only two weeks, the deaths
resulting therefrom are far in excess of
the mortality accruing out OF more than
fifty cases of smallpox. During the past
two weeks seven deaths due to cerebro
spinal meningitis haye been reported, in
Guiding two reported to the Health Depart
ment yesterday
The disease in transmissible, and is con-
sidered contagious by physicians. 1t is
extremely fatal, and persons once affected
seldom recover. This feature OF the dis
ease has been illustrated very aptly in the
cases which have peen reported to the
Health Office.
Attacks are frequently brought on by
exposure TO extreme cold or heat, and the
health authorities are inclined TO think
that the recent blizzard is largely re-
sponsible for this outbreak. 1t is i'm
possible TO ascertain how prevalent the
disease is. This fact can be learned only
through the voluntary action of physicians.
as they are not compelled ny law to re-
port their patients. They are only re-
quired to report the deaths. Congress has
provided that all cases of Aslatlc cholera
yellow fever, typhuS fever SMALLPOX, lep-
rosy, the plague. scarlet fever, and diph-
iberia be reported Immediately, but there
is; not any specific mention of cerebro
spinal menlngltlS, or spotted fever, as
it is sometimes called. Speaking to re-
porter yesterday afternoon a physician
said:
"Cerebro spinal meningitis is one of the
most extremely fatal and dangerous dis
eases that We have TO deal with. 1t may
be caused By excessive indulgence in al
coholic stimulants, cold and heat, and
mental fatigue. In children it frequently
follows scarlet fever, erysipelas, and
measles. The first symptoms are cerebral
congestion. Some of the local symptoms
are intense pains in the head, flushing OF
the face, and feeling as though one can
not tolerate light and sound, also in
creased sensibiity of the skin. throbbing
of the arteries of the neck and head fol-
lowed in some cases by delirium. Into
this delirium there frequently enter delu-
siOns and hallucinations, accompanied by
fever. The temperature OF the body be-
comes warmer, and this is one of the evil
dences of the febrile effect in the first
stage. In the first stage there may also be
symptoms which denote constitutional de-
bility, such as loss Of appetite, disturbed
repose, and more or less weakness. This
stage of excitement usually lasts several
hours.
The later symptoms are distinguished
by somnOlence, ending in coma, paralysis
of the facial muscles and irreguarity of
the pulse. These generally denote a fatal
ending of the disease. 1t is what is known
part by compression OF the brain

February under the three heads of In

Washington and The Washington Aque-

Congress appropriated $4,000 last year
to pay the expenses Of an investigation to
determine the feasibility of ffltering the
water. OF this. Colonel Miller reports
that he has expended 800 in February and
$500 in all. a careful report on the mat
ter is being prepared.
The preliminary steps in increasing the
water supply viii be the stoppage of the
leak into the tunnel under Rock Greek 1t
is proposed to accomplish this by building
complete concrete covering over the
aqueduct tunnel where it passes under the
creek. and by pumping out the tunnel
through the shafts. IL can then be in

use of 1t. So far, Sl3,7l9 has been ex-
pended, leaving s529. .6S4 yet available.

sTRAIGHTEN THE RIVER

| The Review announces a mass
meeting for Rich Hull on the 18th
day of April, of all the citizens of
Bates county who are interested in
Strengthening the Marais des Cygnes
river and reclaiming the value bic
lands along it's course, now valueless
because of the frequent ogerfows.
| It is believed if the river channel
was Strengthened, which could be
done at comparatively small cost
that all the surplus water would be
carried of. At one place it is claim
ed that the river could be shortened
three miles by cut of few hun
dred yards. This matter was agitat
ed last fall and much interest maDi-
tested by the people of Bates couu
ty and especially those owning bot
tom lands. Such project success g.
fully carried out would not only
reclaim these vast bottom landP, the
richest soil in the county, but per

that the state legislature should as

along the course should be assessed
according to the amount and value
of their holdings He estimates that
it would enhance the value of the
land from five to ten dollars per
acre, and if the property owners pay |

one dollar per acre, a most excellent |
investment. We hope the people |
