JAMES WILSON,
DEFlEs STATE BOARD.

Trustees in Carroll County Township
Refuse to Obey Vaccination Order.
Des Moines, March 1s.-One Iowa
township has set itself up to be greater
than the whole state, and an interest
ing legal situation is expected.
The controversy grew out of the or
der of the state board Of health to en-
force vaccination. Members of the
board of trustees in Roselle Township.
Carroll county. met as local board
of health and refused to vaccinate In
addition they hurled the lie back into
the teeth of the state board by passing
the following resolution. a copy of
which was duly forwarded to the lat
ter body:
Believing that in 1901 more died of
vaccination in the United States than
from smallpox, we will not order vac
cination. for we believe the public
safety is the supreme law"
Reports are that there are at least
twenty cases of smallpox in Roselle
township, and the town of Carroll has
guaranteed against it. The state
board of health calls the attention OF
the township to the law and cites the
county attorney Of Carroll county to
do his duty.

Waterloo, March 19.-The family of
j. w. Miller at 1888 South street, were
startled yesterday by an explosion OIL
the cooking range in their kitchen. The
explosion occurred about o'clock,
while the morning breakfast was be-
ing prepared and there were three
women In the kitchen at the time. None
of these suffered any serious injury,
.altho the stove was blown into thou
sand fragments which were scattered
over the room. The force with which
these fragments were thrown is SHOWN
by the fact that where they struck the
walls or the ceiling the lath was broken
and the plastering knocked loose. one
Of the women was struck a little below
the knee by a piece Of the range, but
the force of the blow must have been
broken in some way for the injury in
ficted was not serious, altho painful
for time, and leaving very evident
scar.
The cause of the explosion was the
overheating of the water front, which
had become empty by the turning off
of the water. The house is a new one,
having been completed only recently.
and the range was also new. When the
water was turned on about ten days
ago, at the time the family moved into
the house, 1T was found that there was
leak in the water pipes at the point
where connection was made with the
water front in the range AS the water
system was also connected with the
furnace in the cellar the pipe to the
range was shut off until the leak should
be mended. BY reason of the leak the
water front had doubtless become
nearly or quite empty during the ten
days since the water was shut off. and
consequently was easily over-heated
when a fire was built in 1t in the morn
ing. There was probably just enough
moisture in 1T to form the most danger
Gus explosive and there was no posi-
BILE escape for the imprisoned steam
except by bursting the steel in which
II was confined.
The incident should be reminder OF
the great danger that is incurred by
permitting the water front to become
| empty in a stove where connection Is

fires continue to be built. Engineers
generally understand very we'll that
there is little danger OF the explosion of
a boiler so long as it is full of water
and that there is great danger when 1T
becomes empty. Those who have
charge Of kitchen ranges are not al
ways so well informed in regard to this
fact and the result is that the appar-
emily harmless cook sto1S becomes a
source of great danger to those who
work about it.

Bad One.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa CITY, March 19.-"There is one
thing that makes me afraid of board
of control of educational institutions
said a man of some state prominence
TODAY. as he sat in the Kirkwood hotel
watching the students skurry into the
new hall OF liberal arts across the
street. Il am afraid of the alumni. me
educational institutions have very con-
siderable bodies of alumni, especially
the state university. The charitable
and penal institutions under the controi
of the board of control of which Judge
Kline is chairman have no alumni, at
least no alumni who are of any influ-
ence and care to claim alumniship. l
have heard of reunions of Kelley grad
yates, but never yet of reunions OF dis
charged convicts, lunatics or feeble
minded persons
..When the board of educational in
situations comes into power. ii 1T ever
does. it will very probably have some
new ideas on reform. Some professors
NAV be turned out or various changes
made that would rouse the alumni all
over the state. There are other univer-
sity professors who are loved and hon
ored the same way Chancellor McClain
is by his former students. At present
the state university is run by the board
of regents, who manage we'll and wise
ly. Those who have noticed the power
of alumni would fear a general cleaning
out of the new board at any time"

Consumed by the Flames.
Special to Times Republican.
LaPorte, March 19.-The Hileman
opera house at LaPorte was totally
burned Monday evening; loss $4,000;
insurance, $1,000. The building was
the property of j. NJ. Hileman, the fur
niture dealer of the town.
On Monday evening there was a
dance in the hall and after the terpsi-
chorean pleasures the fire in the fur
mace beneath the structure was left
burning In some manner the element
was communicated to the interior of
the play house. which was discovered
by a neighbor to be on fire about l
o'clock. The flames had already spread
over the auditorium and broken thru
the roof. The fire company could do
nothing to save the building or con-
tents. The loss includes the opera
house piano.
The firemen did good work in pro-
tecting the surrounding property, saw
ing residence only six feet distant
from one end of the building.
The temple of Thespis was formerly
church, but was remodeled and added
to about two years ago, nicely answer
ing the need of the place as an opera
house.

Davenport, March 19.-Fred Thiel
jumped off the ferry dock at the foot
of Main street, evidently with suicidal
intent. at $50 o'clock yesterday after
noon. The teamsters loading sand on
their wagons nearby saw the man as
he leaped into the water and rushed
to the rescue. As soon as they could
they unbuckled the lines from their
horses with view to throwing them
to the man. but when they did SO he
refused the aid. The transfers finally
made a loop in their lines and threw
them in lasso fashion and caught the
man and pulled him out.
During the effort of the rescuers the
drowning man shouted to those ashore
to let him drown. He sank beneath
the water two or three times before
the men got a hold on him. After
he was taken from the water he would
say nothing. nor has he talked on the
subject at any time this afternoon
Theil is about 25 years old.

When person has been shown that

flavor and beautiful deep brown color

cream is added.
! A Chicago man, Peter G. Hoist. at
315 Englewood avenue, writes: Read
ing in the paper the other day some
thing about Postum Cereal, it awoke
in me reminiscent vein.
about five years ago, when was
miserable dyspeptic, 1 first heard of
Postum Cereal Coffee and put it to
careful test
81 had been afflicted for years with
chronic dyspepsia and all the medi-
cines I had tried were in vain. One
by one had to leave them off and was
in despair as to what should do for
relief.
my first taste of Postum was about
ten o'clock one morning. l did not
dare to take cream with it for l knew
what the result would be with my
stomach. That is, I thought l did.
I have since learned that cream can
be taken in Postum even by bad dys-
peptics, but I had my first taste with
only hot water In 1t and little sugar.
The second cup followed the first and
a third followed the second. took my
departure munching some of the dry
grains of Postum as l was determined
to investigate it's effects thoroughly.
"That day 1 had no dinner and ex-
perienced no distressing sensations,
on the contrary felt as tho my appe-
tite had been appeased.
The next day l began to use Postum
regularly and before the first package
had been entirely used discovered the
most encouraging symptoms. The dys-
pepsia and headaches which had been
subject to daily entirely disappeared,
The bowels improved steadily and
regularly.
II ate cautiously, but was sustained
by the Postum Coffee After the first
package l tried it with milk, then with
cream, without experiencing the least
inconvenience. OF course l was de-
lighted and the future looked bright.
From that first experience up to date
my health has been splendid. l have
increased in weight from 1919 to 1877
pounds, and can digest anything l de-
sire. l can say honestly and cheer
fully that would recommend Postum

ment on foot among the business and
local monied men looking toward the
installation of an electric line between
this city and Ames, and perhaps be-

ford and perhaps Perry. The ques
ton has as yet taken no definite form,
but is being seriously discussed among
parties who are in a position to fur
nish encouragement, in a financial
way, if called upon to do so. Having
heard of this movement, prominent
and well-to-do farmer residing be-
tween this city and Ames has become
very much interested in the project
and backs his talk by good substan
tial offer. He says that If the line is
guaranteed he will take $4,000 stock
in the company and grant a right OF
way thru his four hundred acre farm
If the line can be brought that way.
Business men of the city who have
given the matter serious thought see
the absolute necessity Of such line
