Muscatins.
Muscatine horses are afflicted with
the "sneezes." 1t is not the distemper,
but it is something allied to 1T and
much resembles what one would call q
good old-fashioned case of the grippe.
The animal is at first seized with an at
tack of coughing, which continues for
some days, growing more violent and
then gradually wearing off. In Chicago
and other large cities there has been
considerable complaint on the part of
the liverymen and other owners of
horses and the disease has been proven
fatal in a number of instances. A rep-
resentative of the Journal investigated
the matter here in Muscatine and dis
covered that the same epidemic prevails
here. altho not to an alarming extent.

paid, and she was allowed to go home.

Dubuque.
The board of supervisors met in spe-
cial session Tuesday forenoon for the
purpose of taking some action toward
the erection of detention hospital for
!, smallpox patients. Several weeks age
the Dubuque Medical Society took III
the subject of building such hospital
and appointed committee to present
the matter to the board of supervisors
This committee carried out the sugges-
tons of the society, and urged the board
| to take such steps as would lead to the
8 erection of suitable place for such
2 cases. The board of supervisors at one.
started out to look up locations, but
found that it would be impossible to Sc
3 cure ground on which to erect such an
: institution, as no one would sell land
2 for any such purposes. The board could
: erect a hospital at the poor farm, but
7 that would not be suitable place for
: the reason that it is ten miles from the
!. city, and the removal of such patients
: out that distance would be impossible
The supervisors then decided to consult
THE board of health of this city, with a
view of getting them to cooperate ii
