one of its strangest is reported from Grant
City, Mo. During recent thunderstorm

smoke. Two men went to it at once and
found a small hole about two inches in
diameter bored through the stack from
top to bottom. They plugged the hole up
and stopped the fire and later cut the
stack open. The hole was cut as clean
as If a knife had been uesed, but the hay
in the stack was uninjured.

Hoffman's statement, confined to the
high school, nor does it necessarily fol-
low that these pupils contracted the
disease at the school buildings, as the
pupils are at the school building only
five or six hours out of the twenty-four.
DR. Hoffmans report further makes 1t
appear that the cause of the l66 cases
of typhoid fever was contaminated
tank in the high school attic.
Now the fact of the rlatter is that
the water which passed thru this tank
was not used in the high school at all
this wear until the epidemic of fever
had passed its worst stage While the
epidemic was raging SO many tele-
phone messages came to my office with
respect to the city water which the
children were using that. while we had
no evidence (nor yet have) that the re-
yer contracted by the pupils was due
to the city water, or that 1t had been
contracted at the public schools, we
considered 1t best to clean out the tank,
which was carefully done by the high
school janitor. and used the water from
the deep we'll on the high school
grounds. We had chemical analysis
of this water made by the high school
scientist, who reported that 1t was OF
high degree of purity. Then we or
dered the water from the we'll turned
on especially requiring that it be al
lowed to run thru the pipes for con-
siderable length of time before being
usel I wish to make clear this one
fact that the typhoid fever epidemic
had been raging for weeks before any
of the we'll water from the tank was
used in the high school building and its
use was then begun because Of many
requests that we abandon the city
water.
1t will also be observed from the
above statements that the fever pre-
vailed, in the same manner as In the
high school building, in the other
schools, such as the Click school. In
which there is no tank, and where no
we'll water was used.
You can imagine the weight of grief
that rested upon the teachers when we
knew that so many of our children were
sick. We tried In every way to protect
them, but as we We're and are still lg-
norant of the cause. we were helpless
except to visit them as much as pos
sible to cheer them UP and try to provide
In every way that the sick ones might
have an opportunity in the fall to be
passed on If possible, into their new
grades.
We are grateful to know of the dan
ger that turks in the tank as reported
by Dr. Hoffman, and every precaution
will be taken to make the conditions
of the local water supply of the high
school thoroughly sanitary.
If the cause of any of these cases of
fever is to be found in the sanitary
condition of the public schools, we want
1t found right away. and we shall well
come any aid to help us find it and
correct it that our children may be
safe.
Very truly yours.

HONOR CAN NOT BE SOUGHT
Fraternity Forbids Its Solicitation, and
for That Reason the Honor Is More
Than Complimentary-First Time
Marshalltown Man Has Ever Been
Selected for the Position.

A dispatch from Spirit Lake today
announces the election of Mr.. John w.
Wells, of this city, as grand commander
OF the knights Templar of Iowa. The
news will be learned with pleasure by
Mr.. Wells friends here, and especially
those of the different Masonic bodies,
with whom he has been intimately as
ISOLATED for years. The election of the
knights Templar places Mr.. Wells at
the head of the highest Masonic body
Of the state, and is a compliment that
comes to a comparative few. 1t is the
first time a Marshalltown man has
ever been elected to the position.
The honor conferred upon Mr.. Wells
is especially complimentary because OF
the fact that the recipient Is forbidden
by the usage Of the fraternity to So
licit the honor for himself. The con-
fidence of the grand commandery in
the recipients ability Is bestowed by
the selection, and the honor is the high

REV. PURDY RESIGNS.
Pastor of the Friends Church Will Take
Up His Work at Oskaloosa.


Rev. Ellison r. Purdy, who has been
pastor of the Friends church in this
city for the past two years, has re-
signed his pastorate, effective Septem-
Der /. Rev. Purdy has accepted call
from the church at Oskaloosa, and will
take up his work there on the first
sunday in September.
Rev. Purdy leaves Marshalltown be
cause Of the fact that his field In Os-
kaloosa is more promising, and will
give him a wider scope for his work.
The membership of the Oskaloosa
church is about half again as large
as here, as Oskaloosa is sort of rec
ogniZed center of the Friends church
in Iowa. The leading UNCONVENTIONAL
school of the state, Penn College, is To-
Gated there and it is for this reason
principally that he makes the change,
In order that he may work among the
young people during the terms of
school. The Friends Of Oskaloosa
have no church building, but the SER
vices are conducted in the college
chapel. The church has been without
pastor during the past year, mem
hers of the college faculty having sup
piled the pulpit. A call was extended
to Rev. Purdy year ago, but he did
not care to leave the work here after
only a years stay.
Rev. Purdy's work in Marshalltown
has been exceedingly pleasant and
prosperous, and the church has grown
under his direction. His people will
miss him, as will many other friends
whom he has made during his residence
here as a pastor.
AS yet no definite conclusion has
been made for successor. One or
two names are now under consideration
by the committee that will have the
work of securing a new pastor in
charge, and a decision will probably
be arrived at by the time Rev. Purdy
is to leave

TRUE PREVENTIVE OF HAY

Hyomei Destroys Germs Of the Disease

There can be little or no doubt as to
hay fever being a germ disease. It is,

All who are subject to this disagree
able trouble, should use Hyornei daily
for at least two or three weeks before
the time of their annual attack. In
this way the annoying paroxysms OF
sneezing and running at the nose and
watery and smarting eyes, can be
avoided.

possible for anyone to breathe air at
home which is almost identical with
that Of the Adirondacks or White
Mountains, or other resorts whore hay

Ganiah smoking.

In Jamaica ganjah, variety or
Indian hemp, is smoked by all classes,
with terrible results. 1t is stated that
It was this weed that was used by the
leaders Of the Indian mutiny to drive
the sepoys into the passions of raging
mania which they exhibited during
that campaign. Ganjah smoking at
fects the beginner in q peculiar way.
While under its influence his senses
