Ida Grove, July Ada Grove is con-
siderably agitated over the outbreak
of typhoid fever. About three weeks
ago Misses Myrtle and Maud Ferguson,
daughters of Landlord Ferguson, were
taken sick with a severe fever. Next
a dining room girl came down with the
same symptoms. A day or two later
the colored cook took to bed. A con-
sultation of physicians was held and
they pronounced the cases typhoid fe-
Yer but no clue to the cause was
found. Later Miss Olive Spellbring,
living upon the hill and quite a dis
tance from the hotel was taken sick
with Very malignant typhoid fever
symptoms and the next day Miss
Boyen, a young lady clerk boarding at
the hotel Was Sick. The board OF
health then met and requested DR..
Spaulding, DR.. Holman. DIR. Karter-
man. DIR. Conn and DR.. Moorehead TO
Investigate the cause of the outbreak.
The doctors made thorough investi-

trouble TO come from hydrant at the
hotel that is used to supply the water
for the dining room. This hydrant was
placed in an old Well and afterward
the we'll was used as a cesspool. The
We'll is forty feet deep. but al present
is filled with Stops above the vent
opening in the bottom of the hydrant,
so the cesspool contents find access to

CRY. The Tennessee delegation was the
first to start the revolt this morning
and adopted resolutions endorsing Hill
for vice president and pledging them
selves to vote for him. Several leaders
of delegations called on Hill and urged
him to be candidate. To all he an
swered that under no circumstances
would he be a candidate. Hill was par
ticularly active this morning and it is
evident he is still working for a cons
servative platform and still had hopes
of success in accomplishing that object.
The feature of the morning was the re-
opening of the Sulzer boom. Altho
Sulzer seconded the nomination of kel-
lar in the New York delegation yester-
day he was, it is said, acting under or
ders, and was still inclined to let the
vice presidential lightning hit him if it
could.
