Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1905-02-15

Governor Cummins has requested
President Roosevelt to review the
case of the Iowa veterans at Shiloh
against the national battlefield COM
mission in charge of the erection Of
monuments at that point. The COM
mission insists that the inscriptions
on the monuments of the Fifteenth
and Sixteenth Iowa regiments shall
not show their presence during the
fighting of the forenoon of the first
day. The Iowa veterans appealed to
the secretary of war and were turned
down. Governor Cummins says he
will take the case to congress if the
president decision is adverse.

A Crying Need.

Marietta needs a grocery store
where people can fine what they
want and where they can leave
their orders and know that no
inferior goods will be sent; one
whare polite attention and prompt
service, together with correct ac-
counts make it pleasure to do
business.
That Faw & Rogers, The Fancy
Grocers, are striving to supply
this need is evidenced by the great
variety of high class goods carried,
both imported and domestic, the
quality of each article being
backed up by the guarantee of
this firm, whether expressed or
implied; and by the character of
help employed. Instead of push
ing the articles that show the
biggest profits this firm seems to
delight in selling the very best of
everything, such as Postell's Gel
egant" Flour, "Clover Hill" But
ter, Chase & Sanborn's Coffees
and Teas, Peters Milk Chocolate,
"Sdgar Loaf" and other high
grade canned goods, and many
other we'll known brands too nu-
merous to mention.
If you have had trouble about
your groceries, or for any reason
contemplate making change, we
would suggest that for the next
month you would entrust yonr
orders to

MRS. MACKAY TURNS
FROM SOCIETY TO SCHOOL

New York, Aug. 3.-Not only the
men but practically all the women of
the beautiful little town of Roslyn
turned out to vote at the school cleo
tion today and when the returns are
counted tonight they are expected TO
show the election of Mrs. Clarence
Mackay as a member of the school
board by a splendid majority. Some
time ago Mrs. Mackay began to make
an interest in the village schools and
as a result of her Investigations she
concluded that some radical changes
in management and methods would be
a benefit to the community. Forth
with she began to neglect her duties
as social leader of the millionaire's S
colony of Rosiyn and entered upon
a vigorous campaign for the office of
school commissioner. For a month
or more she has addressed public as
semblies, aired her views through the
village press, button-holed voters in
the streets and otherwise waged a
campaign after the manner of the
most practical ward politicians. And
despite the opposition of the old men,
bers of the board 1t appears practical
ly certain on the fact of the early re-
turns that the affairs of the Roslyn
schools during the ensuing year will
be conducted according to the views
of he beautiful wife of the young
millionaire.

jor Reed, in association with DR.. Car
roll, had, however, already demon
strated that this bacillus was one
widely disseminated In the United
States, and bore no such relation to
yellow fever.
In June, July and August, 1900, the
commission gave it's entire attention
to the meteorological study of the
blood of yellow fever patients and
post-mortem examinations. In TWEEN
ty-four cases where the blood was re-
peatedly examined, as well as in
eleven carefully studies autopsies,
bacillus iceteroids was not discovered,
nor was there any indication of the
presence in the blood of a specific
cause of the disease.
Noble Volunteers.
Application was made to General
Leonard Wood, military governor of
Cuba, for permission to conduct ex-
permiments on nonimmune persons
volunteering for the purpose. Money
and full authority to proceed were
promptly granted, and to the ever
lasting glory of the American soldier,
volunteers from the army offered
themselves with the utmost fearless
ness.
DR.. Lazear became martyr to sci.
ence as a true hero, but no other ia.
tality occurred. @
Camp Lazear was especially con
structed for the experiments, about

inmates of the camp were put into
the most rigid quarantine. The most

health of every man to be experiment.

Thoroughbred Mosquitoes.
The mosquitoes used were espe
cially bred from the eggs and kept iso
lated within wire netting. Insects
wanted for the experiment were al
lowed to fill with the blood of a pa
tient; afterwards, they were purposely
applied to non-immunes In camp.
In December, five cases of the dis

such applications, in January, 3, anG
in February, 2, making in all, 10, ex

symptoms of the disease, the new pa

in camp was rigidly protected from
accidental mosquito bites, and not In

New Orleans, La, Aug. 3.-Atten-
tion throughout the world is now di-
rected earnestly toward the federal
governments demonstrations which
practically rid Havana of yellow fever
and placed the sole stigma of the dis
ease upon the "stegomyia fasciata," or
yellow fever mosquito. For this is
now the accepted theory, and New Or
leans has settled down to fight the In
fection on this line. 1t is to be di'
rectly a fight on the mosquito. ''Yel-
low Jack" is expected to fall with the
insect.
Major Walter Reed, of the United
States army, had charge of the yellow
fever work in Havana during the
American occupation and nearly all
the convincing experiments were
made under his direction, with the aid
of DIR. John Guiteras, of Havana. Ma
jor Reed and those with him freely
risked their lives in making the ex
periments which are now medical
tests the world over. Major Reed
lived through the yellow fever trials
only to succumb to appendicitis in
Washington three years ago.
Tackled "Yellow Jack"
In June, 1900 Major Reed was SEN
to Havana as president of a board, tC
study the infectious diseases of Cuba
Associated with him were Acting AS
sistant Surgeons James Carroll, Jesse
w. Lazear and A. Agramonte. At this
time the American authorities in
Cuba had for a year and a half en-
deavored to diminish the disease by
general sanitary work, but while the
mortality had greatly diminished, vel
low fever had apparently been en-
tirely unaffected. In fact, owing to the
large number of nonimmune foreign
ers, the disease became more anC
more frequent and the lives of many
valuable soldiers were lost.
DR.. Carlos Finlay, of Havana, haC
advanced the theory that mosquito
conveyed the unknown cause of yellow
fever, but he did not succeed in dem
onst1 ating the truth of his theory.
DR.. H. r. Carter, of the marine hos
pital service, had written paper
showing that although the period o.
incubation was only five days, yet 6
house to which a patient was carried
did not become infected for from IF
teen to twenty days. To Reeds minC
this indicated that the unknown infec
tive agent had to undergo a period o.
incubation of from ten to fifteen days
in the body of the biting insect.
Reject Bacillus Theory.
Up to this time the most generally
accepted theory was that of Sanar
elli, who claimed that the bacillus
iceteroids" discovered by him, was
the specific agent of the disease. Ma

and remained long enough to allow
himself TO be bitten several times.
He was attacked by yellow fever,
while two susceptible men in the
other compartment did not acquire the
disease, although sleeping there thir-
teen nights. This demonstrated that
the infectiousness of the building was
due only to the presence of the in
sects.
No Other Infection.
Every attempt was made to infect
individuals by means of articles that
had been soiled by patients suffering
with virulent yellow fever. Young
Americans slept for twenty consecu-
tive nights in a room from which mos
quitoes were excluded, in contagion
with articles soiled with discharges
from fatal cases of yellow fever. They
suffered no disturbance of health. -Four
of the non-immunes were subsequent
ly affected by blood injections and by
means OF infected mosquitoes.
Some Conclusions.
THE specific agent in the causa
tion of yellow fever exists in the blood
of a patient for the first three days
of his attack, after which time he
ceases tG be a menace to the health
of othens.
"A mosquito of q single species
| the 'stegomyia fasciata,' which Is IL
| lustrated in this article, infesting the
blood of the patient during this in
fective period, is powerless to convey
the disease to another person by its
bite, until about twelve days nave
elapsed, but can do so thereafter fol
an indefinite period. This mosquito
lives about two months.
yellow fever cannot be spread in
any other way than by the bite of the
previously infected 'stegomyia.' Art
icles used or soiled by patients do not
carry the infection"
Triumphed In Havana.
These conclusions were at once ac
cepted by the sanitary authorities oil

half the disease had never failed tC

the chief sanitary officer in Havana
Major w. G. Gorgas, instituted meas
ures based entirely on the conclusion
of the Reed commission. Patients
were at first rigidly isolated. All the
rooms of the house were sealed and
fumigated to destroy the mosquitoes

from the terrible disease.

YOUNG HAL WINS 2:11 PACE YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON IN EASY
FASHION FROM A FAST FIELD.

A telegram to John Cuneo, mana

Mo-, states that in the 2:11 pace yes
terday afternoon Young Hal took
down first money. clearly outclassing
a field of very fast horses. The best
time, 2:16, was made in the first heat.
Judging from this, 1t may seem as IL
the Albuquerque horse had it all his
own way. as Young Hal has mark
of 2:10A.
The dispatch added that next week
the Barnett string would be moved to
Harrisonville, Mo-, thence to the state
fair at Sedalia. From there the sta
BILE will be taken to the Illinois cir

greatest possible advertisement that
Albuquerque can get.
