A PECULIAR DISEASE
Young Man at Dubuque Suffering
From a Malady, the Nature Of Which
is a Puzzle TO Physioians--suffers
Great Pain.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque. May 5.---For several weeks
past young man named NJ. j. Helm
has been a patient at Mercy hospital.
He is about 90 years OF age and was
born and reared in Dubuque. In June.
1908, he enlisted in the United States
navy and was assigned to the gunboat
Wheeling, on which he served almost
two years. The Wheeling was sent to
the Samoan station and spent con-
siderable time at Apia, the capital OF
the Samoan Islands, which now be-
longs to the United States She made
a cruise or two while the young sail
or was one of her crew. but her head
quarters were at Apia. She had a
complement Of 400 ,nen and out OF this
entire number. Mr.. Helm was the only
one to succumb to the peculiar disease
with which he is now suffering. The
ships doctor treated him, but was UNI
able to give him any permanent re-
lief, and he was finally ordered to be
transferred to the government hospital
at San Francisco, where he remained
about two months. The ships doctor
informed him that he could not do
anything for him on account of the
hot climate Of the tropics. telling him
also that the only place he could find
relief would be in colder climate, and
he arrived home last October. For q
time he got along without much suffer-
ing, but when the weather began to
get warm his sufferings Increased. He
remained at his home 373 Windsor
avenue. hoping that he would improve.
but he did not, and at last he was
obliged to go to the hospital
Before Mr.. Helm was seized with the
disease he had light complexion, but
now his face and entire body is a
dark red color Whenever he had q bad
attack his skin cracks open, causing
intense pain, and then drops of In
scales almost as large as n dime. The
attacks are accompanied by burning
fever which causes great thirst; and
the only relief he obtains Is when his
entire body is rubbed with vaseline or
some similar substance. The ends Of
his fingers and toes have cracked open
on several occasions. He has been un-
der the care of the Dubuque physician
since going to the hospital, and has
hopes that he will ultimately recover.
He believes that the disease was caus-
ed by bad drinking water, poor food
and tropical climate; but the fact
that he was, the only one out OF 400
others who Jared no better than he.
would lead to the conclusion that the
disease may have resulted from some
other cause, altho he was perfectly
sound and healthy when he enlisted II
he had not been he would have been
rejected by the examining surgeons.
He shows great deal of nerve under
the circumstances, and he has many
friends who will wish that his re-
covery may he speedy.

a MAN WITH A PAST.
Crawford County Authorities Have to
Deal With Strange Character.

Denison, May 5.--The sheriff of
Crawford county yesterday morning
started for Corvallis Benton county.
Ore. with a man named Russell Gif-
ford, who was found to be insane by
the insane commissioners Of Crawford
county.
Mr.. Clifford came to Crawford coun-
ty some time last winter. He was in
destitute circumstances, and with a
severely injured limb and was conse-
auently taken to the county poor farm.
He was a very queer acting genius,
and it was thought he was of unbal-
anced mind. When the Crawford
county poor farm burned suspicion
strongly pointed toward him as being
the man who set fire to the building.
but the evidence obtainable was not
sufficient to warrant criminal prose-
cution. He was, however. taken before
the insanity commission, and found in
sane, and as his residence was found
to be in Benton county, Oregon. the
matter was taken UP with the state
board of control. and they ordered the
insanity commission here to direct the
sheriff to take him to Oregon.
This patient always talked as tho
he had very large land possessions in
Kansas and in Oregon, and to hear him
talk you would think he was million
aire. He also claims q membership in
the New York board of trade. He
claims that when he was injured he
was on his way from Oregon to New
York CITY, going over the Canadian
Pacific railroad and that there was a
railroad wreck, in which his limb was
injured. After the injury. he claims
that he was taken to Detroit by the
railroad to be treated and from there
to Chicago and finally to Omaha, where
he claims heMas tired of the treatment
resolved in the hospital and left of his
own accord and came to Crawford
county, Iowa. He also claims that be-
fore he was injured on the railroad he
had on his person several thousand
dollars, and that when he was being
cared for, all his money was taken.
Altho he is a man who looks to be be-
tween SO and GO years Of age, he claims
to be but 80.
Clifford seems to be man with a
strange history, having for years lived
In a suspicious manner in Oregon, and
altho nothing is known as to his ever
having committed any crime. 1t Is sus-
pected by some that there is crime
of some kind hanging over him and he
very much objects to being taken back
to Oregon. His sole aim seems to be
to go to New York City where he
claims he must dispose of some goat
wool and hops and look after his board
Of trade interests.
