SLEEPING SICKNESS MOST FATAL
Professor Koch Finds Villages Inhab-
tied Only by Women and Children.

Berlin. Professor Robert Koch,
who resigned the presidency of the
Berlin Medical society in May last in
order to continue his investigation In
equatorial Africa of the so-called
sleeping Sickness" in his official re-
port to the imperial ministry of the
interior, says the malady attacks par
ticularly men in the prime of life and
the mortality of the sickness has been
so great that whole villages are now
inhabited only by women and chill
dren. The population of the Sese
islands, northwest of Victoria Nyanza,
which in 1902 was 10000, is now 12,-
900.
DR.. Koch has found that atosyl, a
preparation of arsenic, is as efficacious
in the treatment of the sickness as
Quinine is in the case OF malaria Writ
ing from Sese islands under various
dates previous to December 1, he says
he discovered from study of the hab-
its of the glossina palpalis one of the
insects disseminating "trypanosmes,"
as he terms the germs; that it lives
in the underground or on water plants
growing near the margins of lakes,
and feeds on dead water fowl, fish and
crocodiles.
At Sese islands 900 patients are
now being treated for the disease.

In his opinion, Judge Brennan has

who sat with him on the bench and
heard the evidence. Judge Howe
and Judge Miller, who were called in
to consultation, also concurred with
Judge Brennan in full
The opinion completely puts an end
to district court procedure, except dt
vorce and equity cases until the legis.
lature shall pass some act which shall
assist the county out of most re,
markable plight. Should the legisla
ture fail to pass the expected statute,
the county would be juryless the en-.
tire year. However, the discovery
that no provision has been made for
the drawing of jurors any place in
Iowa next year makes it imperative
that measure Of some kind be
passed and there is every reason to
believe that a month or six weeks
will cover the delay in the Polk coun.
ty courts Of justice.
Not the least startling feature OF
the opinion is the possibility of whole.

who are roundly scored by Judge
Brennan. The law makes it a mis-.
demeanor for any man either directly
or Indirectly to request that he be
placed on a jury list. The recommen-

clares that the investigation shows
50 ineligible names on the grand

the supervisors. It also shows 20

Judge Brennan doubts whether an in
