Of their nominees on the official bal

BIG GERM SHIPMENT
Twenty Varieties OF Rare speci-
mems Sent to Iowa City From
DR.. krall of Bohemia
REPRESENT MANY DIsEAsEs

Malta Fever Disease Common About
the Mediterranean-such a Labora-
tory Is Most Gruesome Sight.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City. Dec. 10.-One of the most
remarkable shipments ever received
| in this city arrived in the office of DR..
| Henry Albert, state bacterioiogist of
| this city from the laboratories of Herr
krall of Prague, Bohemia. 1t consisted
of twenty different specimens of dis
ease germs of cultures" as they are
called in the medical profession, all of
which are exceedingly rare in this
country. Herr Krall is one of the most
noted psychologists in the world hav-
ing in his laboratory all of the time
not less than 1000 such cultures, rep
resenting that many different known
diseases. Among the more important
cultures shipped to DR.. Albert are
the organisms which cause Malta few
err, disease common about the Medi-
terranean and the foot and mouth dis
ease, once very prevalent in the New
England states, but now entirely
stamped out.
The study of disease as the product
OF bacteria, or minute animal organ
lsms is only development of the past
lew years in medicine. But since the
discovery Of that theory the work Of
the bacteriologiSt has been an attempt
to discover the nature of the organism
that produces every kind of disease.
Hundreds of such organisms have been
discovered and ola nd
used in the determination of diseases.
But the remarkable part about it is
that these bacteria can be preserved
alive by any bacteriologist. The germs
are removed from the diseased portion
of the subject and placed on a certain
kind of jelly on which they feed This
jelly is then placed in glass tube,
the mouth of which is corked with
cotton to permit the passage of air
but exclude all dust. In these little
tubes the disease germs will propa-
gate themselves, nourished by the jelly,
and furnish innumerable specimens for
experiment on the part of medical
classes A laboratory of such "cui-
lures" is a gruesome sight. Hundreds
of these little glass tubes are neatly
arranged in racks. In each is the little
drop of jelly and the germs which
could destroy hundreds of people. The
utmost care must be used in handling
and experimenting with these bacteria.
One of the most interesting specimens
in the possession of DR.. Albert is the
germ which is light producing. This
germ is sometimes found in decaying
fish, causing it to glow in the dark
ness. The light producing bacteria Gull
ture, when taken into a dark room,
will glow in similar manner.

Pomeroy, Dec. 10.-During the last

Calhoun county are dying in great

The facts in the matter are that some
time ago a number of herds of cattle
were taken sick with what veterinaries
called cerbro spinal meningitis. Since
that time there has probably been
three to foVr hundred cases, with very
few deaths. The people in this COM

TRAIN KILLS SKATER
Crashes Into Party of Young People
Who Were Resting On the Bridge
Near Rathbun-Two Receive Serious
lnjuries-WelI Known Family Be.
reaved

Special to Times-Republlcan.
Moravia, Dec. 10.-1he daughter of a
well known Rathbun family dead, and
two others seriously injured. is the
tragedy into which a merry party of
skaters were plunged Saturday night.
The eastbound local freight on the
Milwaukee road ran into a group of
twelve young people on the Charlton
river bridge at an early hour. The
dead:
Miss Ethel Hockins, aged IS years,
of Rathbun.
The injured:
Fred Workman of Rathbun, arm and
leg broken.
Mabel Herne OF Rathbun, arm brok-
en-.
The accident occurred near Rathbun,
few miles from here. The young folks
had been skating all evening and grow
ing tired had clambered to the bridge
spanning lAiS river W TSSl, lduSuliIS anu
shouting as they raced along the track
for places to sit.
Unaware that the local freight was
due about that time, their merriment
was turned into cries of pain and alarm
when the big mogul crashed into the
party. Most of the people escaped by
jumping to the ice below. number
receiving minor injuries in that way,
but three were caught under the pilot
and tossed, manned and bleeding, into
the air.
Miss Hockins was killed almost in
stantly, being dragged some distance
by the engine. Her body was crushed
and bruised and she sustained inter-
nal injuries.
Fred Workman is in a serious condi-
ton, and it is thought suffered inter-
nal hurts. He is about 20 years old.
Miss Horne's wounds are not dangerous
and she will recover.
Owing to the darkness the engineer
did not see the party as he drew near
the structure, and when the train en-
tered the bridge it was going at a rap
i'd rate, and was upon them before a
warning could be given,
