Smallpox News suppressed In This
Cfty-Onc yirulem Case.

Ctty-Onc Nirulent Case.
The Press declares there is not one
man in every one hundred in the state
today that knows Ottuniwa has ever
had a case Of smallpox. and yet 1t en-
tertained one of the most viruent eases
yet reported in the state Guaranteed
and Isolated the Victim. cured him and
sent him on his way without the conta-
gipn being spread to d single person or
any one outside the city learning of its
existence. Out-of-town people called
here as usual attended to business
matters and the case did not in any
way injure the commercial interests of
the city while 0ttunwa authorities
took good care that no danger of a
spread occur.
1t could not be called seiiishness that
prompted this action on the part of OF
tunNa authorities. they knew posi-
lively that they had prevented, by their
PROMPT and energetic action. any possi-
bic spread Of the dread disease and
they did not desire 10 see business ru-
med at the best time of the year by a
sensational story being circulated. As
a result the victim. while he was cared
for better than would have been the
case had panic ensued, did not COM
inun;cate the disease to airy one else
and when he left the city cured man,
he WAS dressed better than when he
arrived.
To the newspapers of Ottumwa is
due large share of the credit The
papers volunteered to keep out any
story of the smallpox and so success
fully did they keep their word, that
state papers would not believe the story

CHOATES USE OF AN OLD STORY.

In this era of new ideas and startling
inventions old jokes still retain their
youthful vigor. Nor are they confined to
minstrel performers and monologue art
lists on the vaudeville stage. No less a
wit han Joseph Hodges Choate, the law
partner of William Maxwell Evarts and
the present ambassador from this coun-
try to the court of St. James, recently
found a very old joke useful and appro-
pirate.
A reporter called to see him.
MI. Choate is a busy man. said the
clerk.
S am L." responded the reporter. !
LET me take in your card?'
"Neve mind the card. He knows me-"
Without further parley he opened the
door and confronted Mr.. Choate, who
was talking with a visitor.
Good morning. Mr.. Choate," said the
reporter. cheerily. II am a reporter"
Mr.. Choate looked at the intruder
curiously. Take a chair, sir" he said,
quietly.
Il want to see you about this story
showing a clipping from the Morning.
"Ah!" returned the lawyer, with his
peculiar chuckle. I'm glad to see you.
Please take two chairs"

hesitate to use it.-Philadelphia Post.

CHICAGO MANS TITLES,

Some time ago a Chicago man decided
to name his infant daughter Eulalia, in
honor of the Spanish %nfanta. Having
done SO, he thought it would be the
proper thing to inform the princess OF
the honor he had paid to her.
In the course of time he received a
reply from the infanta, in which she gra-
ciously thanked him, wished her little
namesake all happiness, and at the same
time desired hat her assurance of dis
tinguished and profound consideration
might be conveyed to the people of Chi
cago.
The letter was beautifully written on
superfine paper, with the royal arms of
Spain blazoned thereon in colors. 1t
was the direction of the envelope, how
ever, that most excited the admiration
of all who beheld it. The address ram:
Eel Senior Don William Bilkinson,
Metal, Lath and Fireproofing; Estimates
furnished: Single and Double Expansion
Bolts. Tel. Canal $3.50. Factory. Blue
Island avenu Offices. - Halsted
street, Chicago, North America, United
States"
The secretary had evidently been in-
structed to leave out non of Don Bilkin-
sons titles of honor.-San Francisco Ar

rheumatism. Many

acute a%rticular rheumatism. Many
other diseases, including pneumonia,
bronchitis. govt, athritis, heart disease,
Bright's disease, iockjaw, hydrophobia
and obesity, is this apparatus, called the
"Sprague," after A. v. M. Sprague, it's
inventor, expected to cure.
The apparatus consists of steel cylin.
ders which inclose the body, arms and
legs. The cylinders have Innings Of cop-
per, brass and nickel, asbestos, ribs of
cork. asbestos treated wood and cotton
drilling.
Burners with big smokestacks supply
the heat, and there are many tubes
through which fresh su%perheated air is
drawn in and the perspiration laden air
driven out.
The Sprague was set up in the Sturgis
pavilion and DR.. Sullivan readily agreed
to become the first victim. The burners
with great rapidity. When DR.. Sullivan
was experiencing a temperature of 400
degrees it was thought sufficient.
Cold wet cloths We're kept on DR.. Sui
livan'S head and he was giyen a sip of
water every few minutes. After 40 min
utes of this baking he was taken out.
rolled in heavy lankets and aid on a
padded table. Fifteen minutes later mus
cular nurses gave him a Swedish mas
sage.
All the physicians. including DR.. Sulli-
van. declared that the \iment was
completely successful and tina the APP
paratus will revolutionize the treatment
of certain diseases.
DR.. George l.. kessler of Brooklyn re-
ports a case of a patient weighing 21S
pounds being reduced to $50 pounds in
Is MINUTES by the Sprague. He has re-
manned at the latter weight ever since.
