Council Bluffs Family Nearly
Eat Fowl Terribly Infected
With Tuberculosis
DISCOVERY PARTLY ACCIDENT
Mrs. c. J. StiIlweI Noticed Peculiar
White Spots Under Skin of Chicken,
and Sent Portion of Its Flesh and
Liver to State Health Inspector,
With Startling Results.
Special to r,mes-Repup1lcan.

Council Bluffs. Feb. 27.-Danger of
tuberculosis from an unexpected
source, has sent a chill thru Council
Bluffs housewives Mrs. c. ]. StillWell.
residing on Glen avenue, purchased a
chicken from one of the local markets.
While dressing the chicken. which
looked fat and plump. she saw some
thing that attracted her attention as
not having been observed in fowls be-
skin, of the appearance Of small
patches of fat.
Mrs StiHwell cut out portion OF
the flesh, also the liver. which she
sent to DIR. Miller, state health in
spector. Later in the day DR.. Miller
reported to Mrs Stillwell that the
white spots she saw in the chicken
We're tubercular pus spots. He also
told her that the liver of the fowl was
filled with pus and that the chicken
had been a walking invitation for
death to those who might have eaten it..
The fowl. save for the spots had
nothing in its appearance to indicate
that it was other than. healthful
fowl. 1t was not emaciated and many
housewife might have been excused
for having cooked and served it, as
the discovery was partially an acct
dent.
That there are others. and many
others, in like condition. is reasonably
certain. and that many chickens are
eaten every day in more or less ad-
yanced stages Of tuberculosis. is
equally certain. For a time at least
the consumption of chickens in Council
Bluffs will suffer a severe falling off,
and the inspection that is given to
cattle and hogs in the packing houses
Of the land is scant in comparison with
the inspection chickens will get on
Glen avenue in Council Bluffs in the
future. The discovery has emphasized
the necessity for a more rigid inspec-
ton of market products in the state.

One of the most daring mail rob-
berries ever committed in this part of
the state occurred here, when a mail
pouch containing thru letters from Ell
Paso, Tex, to Chicago was stolen from
the Rock Island depot here The sack
in question was laying on truck by
the side of the car and was stolen in
some manner entirely unknown to the
authorities here There were no reg
istered letters in the sack. In a va
cant lot about two blocks from the de-
of it's contents. All of the letters that
were left in the sack had been opened.
1t is evident that the robber or rob-
bers did not care to secure checks
or money orders, as both kinds of pa
per for large amounts were found in
the opened letters. Government de-
tectives have been summoned.

Frank CLANCY was claimed by
death suddenly last evening by an at
tack of heart failure. Mr.. CLANCY had
just completed his evening meal at 6
O'Clock, and arose from the table to go
into the store in the fore part of the

any warning. Frank CLANCY was

the past seven years Mr.. and Mrs.

Denison.
Word has been received to the ef-
feet that an Assyrian club has taken
an interest in the case of Joseph and
Solomon Hasan and committee has
been appointed to raise funds to secure
new trial for the young men con-
victed at Denison for the murder of
Fred Nefvil. The Hasan boys and
their dead cousin were in Omaha on
a business trip few days before the
murder was committed, and having
many friends in that city everything
possible will be done to aid them in
their fight for liberty, as those best
acquainted with them are satisfied they
are guiltless. The Omaha club will
send an appeal to many OF their
countrymen in other large centers in
an effort to raise the necessary funds
to bring the case to the attention of
the supreme court. The young men

sc Discovery" is not so good for
acute coughs arising from sudden
colds, nor must it be expected to
cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that
but for all the obstinate hang-on,
or chronic coughs, which, if neg
lected, or badly treated, lead up to
consumption, it is the best med.
icine that can be taken.
It's an insult to your lntelli.
gence for a dealer to endeavor to
palm off upon you some nostrum,
Of unknoum eombosit1on in place of
DR.. Pierce's world-famed medicines
which are OF KNOWN COMPOSITION.
Most dealers recommend Doctor
Pierce's medicines because they
know what they are made of and
that the ingredients employed are
among the most valuable that a
medicine for like purposes can be
made of. The same is true of
leading physicians who do not hes
itate to recommend them, since
they know exactly what they con-
tain and that their ingredients are
the very best known to medical
science for the cure of the several
diseases for which these medicines
are recommended.
With tricky dealers it is diff.
ferent.
Something else that pays them q
little greater profit will be urged
upon you as rjust as good" or even
better. You can hardly afford to
accept substitute Of 1sknou7s CON-
bos1dos and without any particular
record of cures in place of Doctor
Pierce's medicines which are OF
KNOWN COMPOSITION and have
record of fo,ty years Of cures behind
them. You know what you want
and it is the dealers business to
supply that want. Insist stpon Il.

The Klaus Gradien Ice Company
which has storehouses in Fishertown
have achieved quite a difficult feat ir
floating ice down the river from Eas
Davenport. The company began cut
ting with % men last Friday, and by
noon Monday had plowed up and
f1oated three large floats, one about q
block by half a block in area, contain
ing the equivalent of 1000 cakes; an
other containing 1,4O0 cakes and a
third 600 cakes. 1t was a dangerous
matter to float the ice down river with
the men on it and land the big floats
securely at Lagomarcino's landing
but the feat was successfully accom-
plished and the company think they
have manifested their ability to han
die an ice crop under any contingent
cies.
