How to Check the Spread Of Measles.

The demands of the community in re-
gard to measles are few and simple:
Report to the mayor. His placard on
your door will warn the neighbors'
children not to expose themselves.
Keep your children home from school
and do not attend public gatherings.
When the children recover tell the
mayor you are ready for disinfection.
Don't make this farce. Don't hide
your best furnishings in the garret or
down cellar. The gas, formaldehyde,
will harm nothing except the microbes.
Help the disinfecting officer. He is
the agent of the community which
wishes to be assured that your home is
properly disinfected. And the COM
munity pays the bill.
E. L. DAVENPORT, Mayor.

Or. and Mrs. Kessel departed on the
$40 train for Minneapolis. On the 10Th
of May they sail from Quebec on the
Empress of Ireland, and will spend
about three months touring on the con-
tinent.
DIR. Kessel is the owner and surgeon
of large hospital at Cresco, Iowa,
known as the Kessel hospital. He is a
physician and surgeon who stands high
in his profession, and has the respect
and personal esteem of the most emf
nent medical men. Miss Magaw has
been anaesthetist at st. Mary's hospi-
tai for fifteen years and her remarka-
BILE success in her chosen work has won
recognition from medical authorities
all over the world.
The marriage of these two profess
sional people who have so much of in
terest in common, is a most happy
event, and hundreds of friends of the
bride in Rochester express pleasure
and good wishes. Among the heauti-
full wedding gifts were many choice
pieces of cut glass.
The announcement cards which DR..
and Mrs. Mayo have issued as mark
of esteem for their friend and profess
sional associate, give the "at home''
date as September, Is, 202 West Second
street, Cresco. Iowa.
The above will be read with interest
and pleasure in the many homes in
Cresco and vicinity where DIR. Kessel
has ministered to the suffering. All
unite in wishing the newly married
couple pleasant voyage and safe re-
turn, and that they may continue to
live lives of service, for that is real
happiness.

OPERA HOUSE.

As heretofore advertised, the drawing
for the gold.handle umbrella will take
place 10 the Opera House tonight a!
$50 O'Clock and the lucky NUMBER an
nounced. But owing to the enormous
number of coupons Issued, the manage
meut realizes that 1t will be impossible
to have eli holders Of same present st
that time. Ia The event of the lucky per-
son not being present when the number
Is announced, the management re-
serves the right to withhold presentation
until the final show. If at that time the
lucky person is not In the ball the
lucky one will be published In the Ga
z tie. The patron holding same will
have three days 10 which to claim the
present. The above is the only fair
method, owing to the limited seating ca
pacity OF the Opera House.

Enlisted Mems Trials.

Owing to the fact that Gen. Ed
gerly, commanding the department of
Dakota, the headquarters of which
is at st. Paul, Mimi, is temporarily
absent from his post, it has been
necessary for the president to act
in the cases of twenty-three enlisted
men of the army on duty in that
department who were convicted by
court-martial Of various attractions
of the army regulations, principally
desertion. In the large majority Of
these cases the president approved
the findings and sentence of the
court, but in a few cases he miti-
gated the sentence to lighter pun.
ishment than that imposed.
