WILD RUMORS OF DIPHTHERIA.
But One Case in CoIfax Now N ever
Has Been General.

Has Been General.
So many rumors have been in circula-
ton in regard to the prevalence OF diph-
liberia in Colfax that it was thought best
to look into the matter and find out the
facts in the case. A representative OF
The Gazette called on DR.. Palamountain,
city health officer, and asked him for a
true statement. The doctor stated that
what cases of diphtheria had been in the
city sprang from the colored boy who
came with the Sells Floto circus and who
died here. That was the only death.
At one time on Poverty fat there were
10 cases, owing to the fact that one was
concealed, which allowed the disease to
spread. All other cases were taken
promptly in hand and the homes quar-
antined, hence the disease was not al
lowed to spread and is entirely eradicat-
ed on Poverty fat.
One case developed is what is known
as Russian town. Wild rumors were
afoat at one time that from Is to 90
cases existed in that part of town, but
DIR. Palamountain says there was but
one case, which was reported without de-
lay and the house quarantined. The
patient is cured and the quarantine
raised.
But one case OF diphtheria exists in
Colfax at this time, that of Ellis on Mill
street, and application has been made to
have quarantine raised there, which is
likely to take place at any time. 1t will
thus be seen that there is no epidemic OF
diphtheria here, neither has the disease
spread at any time; also that in all cases,
save one, which was concealed, the Off
Gals have been prompt TO act, thus
checking any movement to make it gen.
eral. Colfax can report a clean bill of
health, as clean as any city, big or small.
that we know of. This should set at
rest rumors that may be circulated in
the surrounding country, causing farm
ers to believe that contagious disease
is prevalent and that this is good
place to avoid for the time being

Erroneous Information Sent Broad
cast About IL.

Erroneous information has been sent
broadcast in regard to the grand jury.
Judge Chadwick has not set day for
the jury to meet, and only day before
yesterday appointed the jury commits
sioners, hence they are not engaged in
selecting the grand jury. Furthermore,
the grand jury chosen will not have pow
er to act until August 1, therefore if the
affairs of Mr.. Kipp's office should be in
vestigated before that time it would have
to be done by the old or present grand
jury. Judge Chadwick said he would be
