TYPHUS BACILLUS is FOUND
Or. Presto Announces Result of inVes-

Mexico City, May 21.-Dr. Presto in
a treatise submitted to the Academy of
Medicine says he has found the long
sought and elusive bacillus of typ1us
fever which abounds in cephalus Ii
suid more than in the blood of typhus
patients. His experiments with germs
and the lower animals are of great
medical interest. DR.. Presto is now
searching for an antidote of preventive
of the disease. The discovery of the
bacillus is considered most important.

Edward J. dresser.

William l.. Carter, professional
bondsman, has been arrested on an in
dictment charging him with the MUIR
der of Edward ]. Gresser, farmer
living south of Des Moines. Carter
was not admitted to bail and is con-
fined in the county Jail at Des Moines.
1t is alleged that Carter planned the
murder in order to cover up forged
deeds to Gresser's farm, which he de-
sired to file so as to gain possession
and then hired an assassin TO strike
the fatal blow.
Edward Gresser last was seen alive
on the evening of Oct. 2, and it is be-
lieved he was killed that night. The
murder was discovered Friday morn
ing, Oct. 6, by neighbor who looked
through the window. Justice Keney
of Allen township was summoned and
at once impanelled cororST's jury.
It was found that all the doors and
windows were locked on the inside,
of the window before which the dead
body lay was bullet hole. The
wound in the mans head disclosed at
a postmortem that the bullet had
struck the temple and travelled down
ward into the neck. 1t was evident
that he had been shot by some person,
probably on horseback. just as he was
bending over the lamp which sat upon
the small table in front of the window.
1t was alleged next day that William
Carter on Oct had filed deed pur-
porting to be signed by Gresser, trans
ferring the farm land to him. Carter
at once was summoned before the jury
He said that on Sept % he paid to
dresser at the Capital City State
bank, by check, $3.50 for the farm. Car
ter, however, said that though he paid
on that day, he did not get a deed I'm.
til the following Saturday.

His Large Family Paid.

AS a general thing there is cause
for rejoicing in the average American
household when the first baby is born,
and when there comes to the happy
parents check for $1,000 from the
child's grandfather on account of the
advent of the precious offering of the
stork there is continuous joy. Not
very far from Ackley lives George
Cramer of Butler county, Iowa, and
his family of twelve children. During
the past quarter of century, at the
birth Of each child the father of the
head of the household, who resides in
Germany, has sent to his lucky son
his check for $1,000, making gifts in
all amounting to $4,000 as the result
of raising Rooseveltian family. The
son has placed the money to such good
use that the money coming each time
child was born has doubled, trebled,
and made the father and the mother
and the children rich In money, lands
and happiness.

Poisoned Candy Case.

A dozen chocolate bonbons which
had been soaked in carbolic acid were
sent to Miss Melia Christensen, daugh-
ter of well known Clinton saloon
keeper, last week. The total consign-
ment was deadly enough to kill doz-
en- people. When Miss Christensen
opened the box her suspicious were
aroused by the smell of the acid, and
an examination made by a physician
disclosed the plot to end her life. The
box was mailed in Clinton and the adj
dress had been painted on with fine
brush, with the inscription merry
Christmas" above it. The case has
been turned over to the county au-
thorities who are investigating.
