EATING DISEASED MEAT.
Mason City People Startled by Recent
Disclosures.

Mason City, July 25.-During the
past few days it has been discovered
that diseased meats were being sold
in this city. For the past four months
the herds of cattle which provide the
people of this community with milk,
under a city ordinance, have been ex-
.amined for tubercular trouble and In
quite number Of instances diseased
COWS have been found. The duty of
the inspector seems to end after he
had made the examination, and Instead
of disposing of the cattle as directed
under the state law-selling to packing
house where a government inspec-
ton is maintained, or quarantinfng
and killing on the premises, it has been
discovered that these diseased cattle
are being sold to butchers who are ig-
norant of the fact that they have been
condemned, and not having an inspec-
tor at slaughter houses, these meats are
being sold from the block to innocent
consumers. The knowledge OF this
condition has aroused the people and
they are now demanding an inspector
for the slaughter houses.

Three Deaths From Typhoid in
Rockwell Family and Seven
Cases Develop
WATER SUPPLY TO BE TESTED
Mason City Expert Called to Invest
gate and Determine Cause Of Out
break-otlfsr Deaths Expected in
TheiIsn FamiIy-oeneral News ,ot
Iowa.
Special to Times-Republican.


Rockwell, July 25.-With three
deaths from typhoid fever and several
other cases of illness from the same
disease, there is much uneasiness here,
and becteriologist was summoned
from Mason City to investigate the
water supply and other conditions. in
the hope Of determining the cause
Of the outbreak.
There are now seven cases with a
total of three deaths within the past
few weeks with prospects OF two more
deaths, Judging from the present con-
dition of the patients. The deaths
have all been In the same family. A
few days ago death came to Mrs.
Theilen, in whose family there were
six or seven patients, followed q lit
tie later by the death of a daughter,
Mary Theilen and two remaining chill
;dren are very Ill.
A temporary hospital has been ar
ranged over one OF the store build
ings where there Is plenty of air and
sunshine and where conditions are as
good as need be. The town Is taking
care OF the family.
This week Mrs. Bahr, mother OF
Charles Bahr. a farmer living near
Rockwell, was taken with the same
disease. Mrs. Bahr lives opposite the
stricken family's home, and 1t is
thought caught the malady from them.
This new case has alarmed the peo-
pie and to locate the cause of the
trouble DR.. Albert was called from
Mason City, and a test of the water
will be made. 1t liz beginning to look
to some of the people there that the
water supply may be the cause. How
ever this is not believed to be due to
the cause Of the illness in the Theilen
family, as it is said they We're UNI
sanitary about their house.

SUNDAY CONCERTS TO CONTINUE
Sacred Music is to Be Furnished Clear
Lake Band, However.
cn.olol Ar, NNi,,.cs- q Il r.ahlfnan

Clear Lake. July 25.-It is now GER
tain that the Sunday evening band
concerts will be given every Sunday
evening this summer, in spite of the
determined and bitter opposition Of
the churches and the ministers. But
those who want the band are at least
doing all In their power to appease the
church people A large number of the
citizens. and the Commercial club of
the city. have raised a large sum of
money for the purpose of buying sac
red music for the band. Heretofore
the band has played but little sacred
music on Sunday evenings, because Of
the simple fact that they had little
sacred music to play.
But the latest move Of the citizens
who desire harmony, will obviate this
difficulty, and hereafter the band will
confine itself to sacred music upon the
occasions Of the Sunday evening con-
certs. The selections have already
been ordered, and the band will soon
be spending its leisure hours in the
practice of the same. The church peo-
pie seem to be taking to the latest
proposition quite kindly.
