Washington, Aug. 4.-Omcial letters
received here from the representatives
of the United States in Germany bring
many details concerning the recent ac-
ton in that country looking to the ex-
clusion of beef slaughtered in Belgium
from the German markets and leave
little room for doubt that this is done
for the purpose of preventing the in
direct introduction of an American
product The letters state that proc
lamations have ben issued by the au-
thorities of the Prussian provinces OF
Aarchen, Dusseldorf, Osnabruck Lune-
burg, Schleswig, DanZig and Gumbinnen
and also in the grand duchies of Olden-
burg and Mecklenburg and by the min
istry of Alsace-Lorraine against the
admission OF beef slaughtered in Bel
gium.
These subdivisions of territory COW

introduce any Belgian beef into the en-
pire. While the central government of
Germany takes no Official action in the
premises il is pointed out here that the
is inspired from Berlin and some of
action is taken at the instance of the
imperial chancellor. Others proclaim
that the reason for the step is the fear
of introducing Texas fever through the
American beef cattle slaughtered in
Belgium The exclusion orders went
into effect on the 18th of July.

| Struggle at tWashington-Orfgin of the
| Epidemic Stated - Secretary Root in
| Harness-No Further Cases Deaths at
| the Home-DetaiIs of the German Ex-
| clusion of Our Meats.
Washington, Aug 4.-Regarding the
! probable duration of the present epi-
demic of yellow fever at the Soldiers
! Home and Phoebus, in Virginia, DR..
| Wyman said yesterday: 1T is too early
yet to make predictions as to the sup
| preston of the outbreak, only four
! days having elapsed since the discov-
cry of the fever. The fact that Thomas,
the original suspect, has gone north
takes considerable weight OFF our
| minds, as he is now in a latitude
where there is no chance of yellow
fever doing any great damage. Our
past experience in the south has shown,
however, that yellow fever can be sup
pressed and confined to the original
focus of infection when the precautions
are taken early enough in the out
break. This was shown at Brunswick,
Ga, in 1894. 1t was also true in the
outbreaks at McHenry, Miss, and
Franklin, La.
How the Fever Came to the Home.
The true story of the way the fever
got into the Home is as follows: The
man who brought it there was William
Thomas. He arrived at the Home on
a transport from Santiago, where he
had been visiting between July and
5 last. He was admitted to the home
as veteran, and shortly after de-
veloped chills and fever. In the light
of subsequent events the experts be-
lieve there is little doubt he was af-
fected with a mild case of yellow fever,
although it was not diagnosed as such
at the time. When well enough to
travel he left the home and his baggage
was sent to Phoebus. The man himself
went to Columbus City, Wash, where
he now is.
Secretary Root Tackles the Terror.
Secretary Root, of the war Office,
spent his first day as secretary in deal
ing with the yellow fever problem,
seeking information and endeavoring
to promote harmony. His action in
supporting the choice by General Mer-
rit, of Battery Point, Del, as the prop
er place for the artillery troops from
Fort Monroe is taken as Indicative of
his intention to support the officers to
whom he intrusts particular work. The
surgeon general favored sending these
troops farther north. His intention to
support General Wood by keeping the
fever season, Notwithstanding the rec
concentrations of General Miles to the
contrary, is interpreted by some to
mean that the commanding general
will not be much in evidence.
Situation Continues Favorable.
The yellow fever situation at Hamp-
ton continues favorable and encourag-
ing in the opinion of the officials of
the Marine hospital service. Accord
ing to official reports there has been
no spread of the contagion since
Wednesday nor has any of the cases
nowunder treatment proven fatal since
that time. 1t is hoped to confine the
disease to the Soldiers Home and
Phoebus. Last night DR.. Wyman re-
ceived the following telegram from DR..
Vikery, stationed at the Soldiers
Home: Situation favorable and en-
couraging, no new cases and no
deaths"

ERROR IN THE COUNT.

CanvassinG Board In Des Motnes
County Finds Both Democrats
We're Elected to Legislature.
Burlington, Nov. 1.-THE board of
supervisors were in session yesterday
canvassing last Tuesdays ballot. In
going over the figures they discovered
that glaring error had been made in
the returns of the Fifth ward where
127 votes We're credited to Jaeger and
LAT to Mckee, whereas the count should
have been just reversed, Jaeger receiv-
ing the 147. This gives Jaeger total
of 1859 and Hawkins a total of 1856
votes. electing Jaeger to the office with
a safe majority of thirteen votes. This
makes both the Des Moines representa-
lives democratic. In the recount of the
supervisors vote Wright received five
more than was originally counted for
him. This gives Mr.. Wright majority
of six instead of one. The remainder of
the canvass will not change the origi-
nal figures on the other candidates.

Sources.
Stands High in the Estimation Of
Those Who Have Tested
Its Merits.

There is no doubt whatever as to the
merits of Morrows ISid-ne-o ODDS judging
from the good results obtained right
here in this state. Morrow's Kid-ne-
ODDS are used daily by many Iowa citi-
zens and they all testify without any
hesitancy about the great good they
have received by the use of this great
kidney preparation. Kid-ne-oids will
positively cure kidney backache, dizzi-
ness. sleeplessness, nervousness and all
urinary disorders arising from disor-
dered condition Of the kidneys. An
other citizen adds his testimony as
follows:
Mr.. II. r. Hunt, Linden avenue, Wa
terloo, Iowa. says: II have suffered with
kidney diseases with its many symp-
) toms for years. have used different
kinds of kidney remedies. but none of
them gave me relief. suffered great
deal from pain and lameness across the
small of my back. Recently was adj
vised to try Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. /
took them according to directions and
they have relieved me entirely OF all
my former troubles
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills
but yellow tablets, and sell at SO cents a
box at all drug stores. and at Mcbride
