route this extension will take and It's
objective point has been a subject OF
much speculation and Mr.. Ellsworths
statements are naturally of much IN
terest turnout northern and northeast
ern Iowa Mr.. Ellsworth said In SUBJ
stance that it had long been the COM
pany's desire to build north from here,
it's present northern terminus, In order
to secure a connection that will give
access to the markets at Minneapolis
and st. Paul. He further stated that
CORPS of engineers would be sent
out at once and that three preliminary
lines would be run that would each pc
separate and distinct. Each line will
then be carefully estimated ana the
cost of construction ascertained. me
amount of probable business on each
line will be carefully calculated and
the local assistance along each route
will also be taken into account in de-
termining the route to be chosen by
the company. In each case, the pro-
posed lines will bring the Short Line
into close connection with other we'll
known roads, which affiliation will be
effected in making the shortest route,
by fifty miles between st. Paul and
Minneapolis and Kansas City via Des
Moines.
The indications now are that the
company will take up the matter of
extension, which has been delayed for
several months and that as soon as the
route can be determined, the contracts
for construction will be let President
Ellsworth is giving the matter his I'M
divided attention and is very enthus-

Fort Dodge, April 27.-T. j. O'Hara

were sentenced to work ten days on
the street in police court Tuesday
morning, were taken out yesterday
and sEackled together by the legs were
put to work cleaning the streets. They
made a terrible howl when the chain
was brought out but their protests
were of no avail.
This is the first time during the
present administration the prisoners
have been shackled in this manner
when put on the street. This method
is only resorted to in extreme cases
like the present. Both O'Hara ana
Wright have been nuisances about
the city for a long time and are utterly
worthless. When it was decided to
put them on the street it was known
that they would make run to get
away from the work and 1t was de-
cided to place them in position
where they could not run. and where
they would really have to work for
once in their lives. They, with the
rest of the gang are down on Fourth
street, where they are shoveling up
the dirt left In the gutter by the
sweeper.
There are five in the gang at the

noon, while the outfit was at work
in the vicinity of Duncombes woods,
he sided we'll out to the edge of the
crowd and made break for liberty.
Being unable to leave the rest of the

Display Of Fruits Spread tuberculosis
and Other Diseases, is Theory Upon
Which Sioux City Health Officer are
Working.

Special TO Times Republican.
Sioux City, April 27.-Believing that
the spread of tuberculosis and of con-
tagious diseases may be caused by the
accommodations Of dust from the streets
upon fruits displayed. in front of stores,
and that the sanitary conditions OF
Sioux City, and in fact Of the whole
country, are not what they should be,
DR.. G. J. Ross, city health officer, will
call a meeting Of all the health Off
GERS Of the county for the consideration
of sanitation in general. The introduce
ton of AN ordinance governing Ins
matter is among the possibilities. me
Chicago council now has under con-
sideration such an ordinance.
The exposure of fruit and confec-
tionery to the dust and germs OF the
street will be one of the first sub1ects
TO come up for the investigation OF tbs
health officers, who will be organized
into a society at the first meeting.
DR.. Ross declares that the danger To
public health as result OF the dis
play of vegetables, fruits and confec-
tionery in front of stores, and by side
walk vendors, is almost inestimable'
and that the spread of infectious mat
aides is made possible thru this means.
Especially is this true OF rough
skinned fruits, such as peaches ana
| berries. 1t is hoped by DIR. Ross tha-
the agitation of the matter may result
| in the adoption of measures of pre-
vention.
"a better means of spreading disease
germs could not be found" declared
DIR. Ross this morning. An lnestlm-
able amount of harm results. Think OF
the amount of dust laden with disease
germs that is carried constantly from
| the streets, and ,alights upon the fruits
vegetables and confectionery.
.Germ-laden dust is being continual
| lv stirred up in the streets by the boots
| OF horses and is waited by the breeze
| to these eatables. What is the result
tuberculosis is fostered, and other
dangerous diseases contracted. be-
lieve that many cases of the most VIZ
ulent type are caused In thls ihah-
ner.
Measure is Demanded.
..The health officers cannot exercise
| too much care in this regard. Natural
ly there would be considerable Oppose
ton to an ordinance preventing the
display of fruits, but if the pubic
health demands such a measure, be-
lieve it will be favorably considered by
the council"
The different health officers OF the
county will be notified by letter the
first of next week, and as soon as
meeting can be arranged. it will be
held in Sioux City. Every township
health officer will be notified. and an
organization perfected, which will take
up the study and prevention of dis
eases in general.
Not only will sanitation he discussed
but the matter Of recording deaths and
births, which devolves upon the health
officers will be taken into considera-
ton. The quarantine laws will be
talked over and measures to prevent
spread of disease will be considered.
Another object of the organization
proposed by DR.. Ross will be for the
purpose of preventing the spread of
disease from one township to another.
