TASTED EIGHTEEN DAYS.
Fat Steer Loses 200 Pounds During
lonu Imprisonment.

at Seeer Loses ZUV POUNDS During
Long imprisonment.
Oskaloosa, Aug. 10.-Eighteen days
without food or water is the record
made by a steer on the George Nor
row farm near Fremont. Mr.. Morrow
is feeding a bunch Of about four hun
dred cattle. He does not reside on
the place and the stock is left on the
pasture where there is an abundance of
forage and water. A neighbor in pass
ing the place one day noted that the
stock had broken into the barnyards
and had access to the corn cribs and
stables, a thing he knew Mr.. Morrow
did not approve. He therefore took the
liberty to drive the stock out of the
buildings and afterwards locked and
secured them against further intrusion.
Eighteen days later Mr.. Morrow had
occasion to enter one of the barns and
was surprised to find one Of his steers
therein 1t had been locked in by the
neighbor when ne shut up the build
mss almost three weeks before. 1t
could not get out and had been with
out food or water for the entire period
1t was more dead than alive when
found by Mr.. Morrow and had lost over
two hundred pounds. MIR. Morrow
got the animal to it's feet, but he spent
the entire day in giving 1t food and
water in proper quantities. The steer
is coming along all right now and Mr.
Morrow believes that he will save it.

iNFANTlLE PARALYSIS MAKES
APPEARANCE AMONG Chill
DREN OF IOWA.
HOT AND DRY WEATHER
FAVORABLE FOR DISEASE
Several Cases Reported From Dubuque
and Disease is Quite Prevalent in
Adjoining states-Not Away. Fatal
But Effects Are Frequently Perma-
nent,

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, Aug. 10.-Infantile paraly-
sis. has made it's appearance here, and
the prevalence of the malady in Min
nesota and Wisconsin has caused
physicians here to fear the epidemic
will spread into Iowa.
The technical name of the disease is
anterior polio-myelitis and it is caused
by hot dry weather. 1t is stated that
1t is a germ or 1nicrobe disease and
that once started in q season Of hot dry
weather, an epidemic is liable to en-
sue.
Speaking of the matter we'll known
physician said that an epidemic Of the
disease was narrowly averted last sum-
mer. when during a dry period twelve
cases were recognized and reported.
The disease affects the extremities
and is an affIiction of the spinal cord
resulting in paralysis of the legs,
usually one leg but some times both.
While the disease is not necessarily
fatal, the growth and development Of
the leg 1t affects is retarded and re-
covery from the effects of it is very
slow, the affliction in many cases re-
naming permanent.
| The physician who was speaking Of
the disease stated that he understood
Winona is having a very severe epi-
demic Of the disease and that more
than twenty cases have been reported.
The people are greatly alarmed and
the authorities are trying the expe-
dent Of sprinl<ling the whole town
thoroughly. Since the medical theory
is that rain puts check on the spread
of the disease, physicians are watch
| ing the result Of the sprinkling in
Winona, and If it proves efficacious
there, will recommend 1t in case the
disease becomes prevalent here.
The disease attacks children, the
majority OF the cases being under two
years, tho some cases are reported of
children over ten years.
In this condition it is stated that the
appearance of meningitis among chill
dren is sign that conditions are fav-
orable for the appearance of infantile
paralysis. There are number Of cases
of meningitis and the disease is very
malignant, most of the cases thus fai
having resulted fatally Several cases
- interior lpolio-myelitis are reported
and physicians are apprehensive that
unless the drourn rs sroken there may
be a spread of the disease.

Special to mes-Republican.
Geneva, Aug. 10. = What nearly
proved to be a fatal accident occurred
on the road half mile west of Cen
eva, Sunday night. Will Kotenbeutel
and wife were driving home, and met
Arthur Towle, who was riding a bicycle.
AS it was very dark night, and Meth
er had a lantern; they ran directly into
each other Mr.. Towle was knocked
off the bicycle and trampled on, and
sustained severe bruises on his face
and head. The bicycle was completely
wrecked.
Mr.. KotelbeuteTs team ran away and
finally tipped over the buggy. The oc-
cupants of the buggy were caught ir
the top, and were dragged for several
rods, when the buggy was broken from
the running gear, and the team freed
itself from the wreckage. Mr.. Koten-
beutel received some bad contusions on
his head. The buggy was very badly
smashed up. AS the scene of the &C
cident was on a high grade, it is very
fortunate that more serious results die
not occur.
