thru very severe and unusual surgical
hospital For several years past she
has been suffering from stomach trou-
BILE; during the past few months after
each meal. undigested food had to be
removed by the use of the stomach
pump. When the diseased parts were
exposed 1t was found that the pyloris
was badly intiamed and the inner part
almost closed. A longitudinal incision
was made into the pyloris, and the OPP
ening enlarged to its natural size. Miss
Mead is now getting along splendidly
and her entire recovery is almost as
sured. Dr. Killingsworth, assisted by
DIR. Sellards, of Clarinda, and DR.. My
ers, medical student. of Kansas City,
performed the operation.
Upton.
Upton has two cases of smallpox at
the home of Mrs. Ella Sheets on
Eighth street. The family attended a
picnic south of town on the Fourth
and became exposed to some of the
cases In that neighborhood before they
had been detected and proper precau-
tons taken to prevent the spread of the
disease. Wednesday 1t was found to
be smallpox and the family were i'm
mediately placed In quarantine as were
also Mrs. Julia Humphrey, and Mrs.
Charles Humphrey and children living
next door, and the family of w. III.
Sheets. The case is very pathetic
one. There are four children in the
family including baby one month old
and to make the situation worse. Mrs
Sheets now has the disease. Should
she become unable to take care of the
children, the situation will become
much worse.

The Insane commissioners had a sad
case to deal with Tuesday when they
went out to Fairfield township to In
quire into the mental condition Of Mrs.
Ella Il. Clousen. Mrs. Clousen is a
resident of Pennsylvania and came
here a few months ago with her hus
band and four children. They have
been living on the farm of j. M. VIM
gerd, for whom Mr.. Clousen worked.
When they arrived they were with
out funds and had to borrow money
with which to start housekeeping.
They did not get ahead financially and
this seemed to prey upon Mrs. Clou-
sens mind. She also became sick and
this added to the worry she was al
ready subjected to proved too much and
her mind became unbalanced about the
Fourth. Her husband was unable to
take care of her and the case was plac-
ed in the hands of the commissioners.
Deputy Sheriff Barclay left Tuesday
afternoon with the family for Clearfield
county, Pennsylvania. their old home.

MANY FISH KILLED.
Game Warden Lincoln Finds Hi
Water Did Much DAMAGE.

water Did Much Damage.
Cedar Rapids, July 21.-State Fish
and Game Warden George A. Lincoln,
has been on tour Of investigation to
the western part Of the state, and has
been making a thorough investigation
of the conditions of the bodies Of water
in and around Council Bluffs, relative
to the stock of fish they contain. The
waters in this particular section of the
state We're stocked with croppies. bass
and other game fish by Warden Lin
coin two years ago, and the result of
such replenishing has been shown by
the long strings of fish which have
been pulled out Of the lakes in and
about Council Bluffs. The fish supply
at Lake Manawa was supplied last
year by the United States fish hatcher
les with croppies and bass, but the war;
den states that the past season has been
the worst for the fish in the Iowa
streams of any season since he has been
identified with the state supervision of
the fish and game laws.
1t appears that the high waters dur
ing the flood period caused all of the
creeks and rivers to overflow their
banks, and the fish naturally swan
into the shallow waters of the bayous.
When the waters receded the fish were
left in the shallow ponds. and when hot
weather came on they died One of the
worst problems that the warden has
met with this season is the SEEMING of
these ponds and the backwaters for the
fish and placing them again in the
streams. Warden Lincoln also claims
that the work of his department has
been greatly handicapped this year be-
cause the Twenty ninth general as
sembly failed to make the needed ap-
preparation and for the completion OF
the work he had to depend upon the
LOYALTY of the loccl deputies.
