PARALYSIS AeATlNe.
epidemic at Waterloo Checked by Cool
Weather.

Waterloo, Sept. 5.-Not a new case
of infantile paralysis has been reported
in Waterloo for over a week. This
statement will be reassuring to the
mothers of the city who have looked
on the danger with dread. The cool
weather that has prevailed in this part
of the country for the last fortnight is
held by physicians to be responsible
for the surcease of the epidemic. In
fantile paralysis is a strictly hot wealth
er disease" stated one doctor who has
had considerable experience with it,
"and case is seldom reported in the
frost months" While it has been re-
ported in Iowa for many years the
total number Of cases annually have in
previous years reached only a few hun
dred. This summer the disease became
epidemic, and so far over 10000 cases
have been reported in the state.
Mayor Rector, who is much inter-
ested in the situation. stated today that
he was much pleased at the relief
During the forepart of August the Sit
uation in Waterloo was considered
serious. Many cases were reported
and 1t was then that the local board
of health decided to quarantine each
case and require reports to the city
clerk the same as for smallpox and
diphtheria. The total number of cases
discovered in this city during the cpl
demic was tWenty.one.

PRIEST SCORES SUNDAY
Waterloo PreIate Opposed to Coming
Of Evangelist and Asks His People
To Stay Away From Meetinss-Says
Sermons Arc Vulgar.

Waterloo, Sept. 5.-Rev. II. H. Fork
enbrock, pastor Of ST. Mary's Catholic
church, requested his parishionerS
Sunday morning at the regular service
not to attend the BILLY" Sunday meet
ings that are billed for Waterloo in
November. He gave as his reasons, the
lack of all necessity of christian people
going to such gatherings as Sunday is
known to conduct. Father Forkenbrock
did not forbid his congregation from
to remain away The language that is
used in some of the copy-writed SER
mons he declares is not fit for decent
persons to hear, and that children
should by all means be kept away from
the meetings.
In speaking of the coming meetings
Father Forkenbrock said lin CONVEX
sation with a great many people of
Waterloo, both Catholic and protest.
ant. 1 have been convinced that the
best citizens of the city do not want
the meetings held here. They all agree
that such gatherings are of the nature
that do not tend to elevate, and the
class they appeal to are better citizens
when not stirred to fanatical fury.
IF the priests and ministers of Wa
terloo have lost the power to lead and
teach their people and have to hire a
man to herd the flock and drive them
by sensational methods into the proper
paths. then it is high time that we give
up our places and get better men to fill
them. Special services in any one
church, or missions conducted at reg
ular intervals, are of a different char
acter and have the proper effect for
which they are conducted, but the idea
of calling in hired wholesaler of reli-
gion to deal it out to the crowd at 50
much per meeting is beyond the pale
Of religion"

GOT WRONG LICENSE
Iowa Youth Secures Hunters License
at Burlington and Pastor Refused to
Perform Ceremony Until an Ex-
change Was Made.

Burlington, Sept. 5.-Frank Andrews,
aged Is, of Sandusky, Iowa. came to
Burlington Saturday to be married. but
instead Of securing 4 marriage license
at the court house, he purchased a
hunters license instead. Armed with
the hunters license he and his bride,
Nellie Gladys Mackey also of San
dusky, appeared at the Methodist par
sonage and requested that DR.. Schrek-
engast marry them. All Went we'll UNI
til the groom was asked to produce the
license and the minister discovered the
mistake. Andrews then hot-footed 1t
again for the court house and corrected
the mistake.
The groom applier at the office of
the county auditor for a license. Dep
uty Auditor Lilly proceeded to make
out a hunters license. Andrews an
swered the questions to his heghth,
weight, color Of eyes and gave other
data which is not at all required in u
maSriage license, but it was his first
license and he did not know the differ
ence. He learned an hour later, how
ever, and brought back the hunters
permit and exchanged it for a marriage
license. AS he was under legal age, the
consent of both parents was necessary
for the issuing of the permit.
The ceremony was duly performed at
1880 Saturday afternoon and the happy
couple returned to their home in Lee
county.

ADVERTISING KossuTH FAIR.
Booster Club Accompanied by Brass
Band and Drum Corps On Trip.

Special to Times-R Republican.
Whittemore, Sept. 5.-When it comes
to advertising her county fair kossuth
takes back seat for none of them.
Friday morning at 1870, President j. NJ.
Farley, of this village. headed a dele
cation that before night had visited
every town in the county north of the
c., NJ. & ST. +. railroad, and so soon as
the boys get rested up they are going
to take a day and call on the people of
the south side. The NJ. w. A. band
accompanied the boosters from AlSona.
The trip was a most enjoyable and
profitable one also. The crops in the
north part of Kossuth county are so
much better than was expected, it was
indeed a pleasure to ride between fields
of corn that in short time will be
out of the way of frost and to view
the grain and straw stacks.
Secretary T. p. Harrington and
President Farley deserve much credit
for working up this trip and with good
weather the attendance at the Kossuth
county fair will. no doubt, be greatly
increased because of 1t.

were told to report to the warden's
office. On doing so they were given
their time.
The laws Of several states make 1t
an offeDse for an employer to dis
charge man for performing his duties
as a member OF the National
guard. The state of Iowa, however,
has no such law, but 1t would seem q
peculiar thing for an officer of the
state, and for performing their duty
as members of the national guard of
the state, especially in view of the
fact that the governor of the state Is
commander-in in chief of the national
guard. This is probably the first In
cident of the kind in Iowa.
The matter has been reported to the
adjutant general. who will doubtless
take it up with the boarl of control OF
other proper state officers.
