TOWN OF ROCK FALLS
FINDS FUNDS GONE
Reported That Expert Now EXamin-
ing Books Will Report There
Has Been Mismanagement.

Sterling, H., Aug. 17.-The expert
who is investigating the finances of
Rock Falls and the condition of the
municipal electric light plant is OK
pected to make detailed report in a
few days.
lnofficially. but from an authentic
source, it is declared that the report
will show mismanagement of the funds
of the city; clerical errors on the part
of different officials; that the munich
pal electric light plant is running be-
hind and has been for many years !:
that the present method of handling
the city's money is antiquated, and
that there is no way of checking up
the public accounts.
Other rumors of possible criminal
prosecutions are in circulation. The
municipal lighting plant has been a
bone of contention in Rock Falls for
many years. and charges and counter
charges regarding its management
have been numerous.

MOULDY CORN TO BLAME
Practically All Cases of Pellegra
Traced to This Source.

Peoria. ILL.,. Aug. 17.-Dr c. H.
Lavinder, of the United States ma
rine hospital, called to Bartonville to
examine the cases of alleged pellegra
at the state hospital, confirms the di-
agnosis of Superintendent Zeller and
DR.. Egan,s of the state board of
health. Lavinder examined 40
cases.
AS 80 per cent of the known cases
of pellegra have been traced to
mouldy corn. DR.. Zeller has forbid
den the, use of cornmeal at the hos
pital.
A pellegra patient appears par
boiled. In 1904 and 1907 two pa
tients died at the state hospital whose
record shows boiled to DEATH" The
1907 patient was in charge of Anna
Newton, a nurse who was discharg-
ed. Zeller now is convinced the pa
tient had pellegra and the fact that
he died in the bath mere coinci-
dence. Zeller has recalled this
nurse.

EXPECT A CAR SHORTAGE
Prosperity Wave Marked by Heaviest
Traffic Known i'm Single Year.

Traffic Known in Single Year.
Washington, Aug. IA heavier
business than has ever been known
in a single year is looked for by
Chairman Knapp of the interstate
commerce commission for American
railroads during the present fiscal
year.
The serious situation anticipated,
not only by Judge Knapp but by
other officials of the commission and
by operating railroad men generally,
is that there may be a shortage of
cars. The crop prospects are con-
sidered SO bright that the transpor-
tation companies may be taxed be-
yond their capacity to handle the
freight.
According to figures submitted to
the commission, the railroads have
recovered from the low business
pressure of year and a half ago,
and now are handling almost as
much traffic as they did in the rush
months of 1907. which was the ban
ner year in American railroading.
