Iowa Falls, Feb S-Little short of a
sensation was caused here last evening
when 1t was announced by Health Off
Ger Morton that case of smallpox had
been discovered in the northern part of
the city. The case had been reported by
DR.. w. p. Burke, who had diagnosed.
the case as smallpox and this opinion
was verified by the health official. Steps
were Immediately taken to control the
disease and such stringent measures
have been taken that no fear of the
spread of the disease is anticipated. The
victim of the disease is a young married
man by the name of Brewer, who has
been taking some special courses of
study at Ellsworth College. His home
is at Garner, la. The house where he
roomed. as we'll as that OF his board
ing place, We're promptly quarantined
(, and every precaution taken to prevent
further contagion. Last evening the
local board of health took the matter in
hand and ratified the action IF the
health officer and ordered that Ellis
worth College and its inmates be strict
ly quarantined. This order not only in
cludes every student at the institution,
but the faculty and the help, and as a
guard has been placed about the
grounds no one will be permitted 10 en-
ter or leave the grounds or buildings,
thus making 1t impossible to spread
from any case that might develop at
the college. Every student and iil-
structor has been vaccinated and every
possible precaution will be taken q
keep the spread of the disease down to
the minimum, and in fact no new cases
are anticipated Steps will be taken at
once to provide q pest house for use in
case 1t should be necessary in the de-
development of other cases. The
board of health and physicians fee
confident they have the disease we'll in
