SMALLPOX In IOWA.
Three Hundred aud FIFTY Cases Re.
ported to State Board.

Des Moines, April 24.-SmallpoX is
getting to be quite a serious thing in
Iowa. The records of the state board
of health show that from October,
1898, to July, 1890, there were 223 cases
and two deaths in Iowa. From July to
November, 1899, there We're no cases.
From November, 1899, to April, 1000,
there We're $50 cases and seventeen
deaths. Secretary Kennedy thinks
many cases have not been reported
lately, and that is certainly the fact i'll
Des Moines. There are now twelve
recognized cases in this city and the
fact that they are widely scattered
over the city is taken us an indication
that there have been many exposures.
Persons having the disease often make
every effort to conceal its real charac-
ter because of its effect upon their
business. a lively fight is now in prog
ress to keep the pest house out of GER
tain localities. 1t is an industry that
no section of the city desires.
The local authorities all over the
state seem impressed with the notion
that the state board of health can help
them. As a matter of fact, it cannos.
1t cannot compel a local health Office
to perform any act. 1t is authorized
to make regulations for the manage
ment of infectious diseases when they
appear, but it can only rely upon tae
local health authorities to enforce
these. Ii the local authorities fail to do
so, the remedy lies with the citizen1.
who may, if they choose, compel the
authorities, by mandamus, to perform
their duty.
The number of cases of smallpox in
the state now is said to be greater
than in many years, and they are
widely scattered. The disease is in
mild form. There are twenty-one cases
in Oskaloosa, and cases are reported,
generally in considerable numbers, at
Davenport, Fort Dodge, Lincoln town
ship, Hamilton county; Grant town
ship, Hardin county; Marietta, Liberty
and Taylor townships, Marshall coun-
ty; Marshalltown, Green Mountain,
Savior township, Polk county; Das
Moines. Ruthven, ST. Anthony, Grin
nell, Highland township; Palo Alto
county; Toledo and other places.

BRICK PLANT STARTED.
Residents of Rlyerview Addition Want
to be Annexed.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The new brick and tile plant recent
" erected in Riverview addition, com
rnenced work, this morning. Yester-
day evening the residents of that pro-
gressive addition to Ottumwa were
startled by a strange whistle that
sounded neither like a locomotive nor
yet a Mississippi river steamboat whis-
tie. Inquiry developed the fact that
lit was the brick plant whistle that
woke the echoes and another industry
was added to Ottumwa. This leads
down to the fact that the residents of
Riverview addition desire to be taken
into the city of Ottumwa. For some
time they have made an effort in that
direction. Theci ty fathers instructed
them to prepare a petition, get all the
residents of the addition to sign it,
present it to the council and they
would be taken into the corporation.
1t is said that but one man whose
property is on the line between the adj
dition and the city limits refuses to
sign and does not want to come into
the city. In view of this fact, the res
idenss of that part of town are talking
of organizing an independent city gov
efnlHeht. lney say they VIII lneOfPo-
rate, elect a mayor, city council and
other officers necessary toe conduct a
town. For some time they have had u
store and now that they have manu-
featuring concern, the feeling that
they should reap the benefits of city
government has again come to the sur
face. AT the present time there are
twenty houses in the addition and
twenty more will be built this spring
and summer.

SETTLES HE CASE.
Street Roilway Company Pays for Lost
Leg,

From Tuesdays Daily.
The case of George Anderson by his
next friend VS.. the Ottumwa Electric g.
Steam company, was setsled yesterday
and dismissed. The order approving
the settlement did not state the
amount the plaintiff received. The PEI
tition was filed last fall and asked for
$4,000. damages on account of personal
injuries sustained. The petition al
leges that plaintiffs leg was cut off by
an electric car while near the corner
of Charles and Ward streets on the
South Side. Plaintiff also said that the
car was running at the rate of twenty
miles per hour and was in charge of
Motoneer Charles Morgan at the time,
who it is alleged, was careless in oper-
ating the said car. Scott g. Ayres were
attorneys for plaintiff and John w.
Lewis for defendant.
Ella Ashby, colored, recently con-
yicted of the charge OF petit larceny,
was sentenced to fifteen days in the
county Jail. Ella was indicted on the
charge of stealing silver watch be-
longing to DR.. Davis, the corn doctor.
1t was charged that the woman, while
the doctor WAS attending to her pedal
ailments made it known that
she had the mumps and desired the
doctor TO examine her throat. The
mumps at that time had not developed
to any appreciable extent and ii re-
quired close scrutiny to discover the
swelling. 1t is said that the doctor
was compelled to examine the throat
very closely aud momentarily lost
sight OF, his watch pocket with the re-
suit that Ella got his watch. She was
arrested soon after the occurrence, in
dicted and. convicted. The sentence
followed.
A jury was secured yesterday in the
case of John Wilson VS.. w. j. Baker, a
suit on contract. At the close of de-
PENDANTS evidence today the defendant

Shoemaker was drowned in the Des
Moines river Saturday night or early

to be in doubt. His body was, found

gon driver who was crossing the
Grand avenue bridge. 1t was partly in
a boat and with the head and arms in
the water, at the north end of small
island. Those who first reached it
thought the young man had been
dead but a short time.
The island is near the east bank of
the river. 1t is supposed that Shoe
maker fell in an epileptic fit as he was
started to leave the boat for the land
or sand bar. He had been subject to
fits for several years.

Placed Poison i'm Food.

Muscatine, April "a. Some unknown
person entered the home of Mrs. Jos.
Nyenhuis and succeeded in placing q
quantity of arsenic in the victuals,
and if it had not been that the would,
be-murderer made a little too much
noise, the plot would probably have
resulted in the death of some member
of the Nyenhuis family. This is the
second time that such an attempt has
been made. The parties concerned and
the police are utterly at a loss to ac-
count for the affair.
