Infantile Paralysis Transferred to HUI.
man Beings BY Chickens.

Washington, September 1.-THE
startling theory that infantile paraly-
sis is transferred to human beings
from chickens was submitted today
to the public health and marine hos
pital service by prominent physician
of this city.
DR.. j. l.. Lewis, who brought the
matter to the attention of the authori-
ties, cited six cases in Bethesda, Md.
in which six families had been strick.
en- with the dread and battling disease
after disease bearing every mark of
paralysis made its appearance among
the poultry at the homes of the vic
tins.
The case was brought to a climax
by the death of Henry J. Hunt, a
nephew of General X. C. Langdrum,
of Drummond, Md, member of one
of the most prominent families in
Maryland.
The poultry about the Langdrum
farm where Hunt lived were stricken
with an unknown disease recently
They appeared to become entirely
paralyzed and many died. Investiga-
ton showed that the poultry in all
that section were being killed off by
the disease. Then infantile paralysis
appeared among the residents.
Hunt, a young man twenty-four
years old, and known locally as an
athlete, was soon stricken. He was i'll
only five days. DR.. Lewis then decided
to bring the matter Immediately be-
fore the health authorities. Accord
ingly, several chickens which had died
from the strange disease were turned
over today to the marine hospital
officers and an examination of them
will be made.

Fisherman Who Abused People Wher
They Refused to Buy.

From Saturdays Daily.
A stranger who has been catching
carp in the river and peddling them
about the city was yesterday ordered
out of town. He has been in the city
for a couple of months, following the
business OF fisherman, and it is said
that where ladies have refused to buy
fish of him he has become abusive.
He was found prowling about the
premises at 328 Jackson street night
before last. The man gave his former
home as Springfield, III. His face
would indicate that most of the profits
OF his fishing went into booze.

From Fr'iay's Daily.
Yesterday was strenuous hand
shaking day at the Garden City fair.
The various candidates for county
and legislative offices were all there
with possibly two or three exceptions.
There are thirty-nine candidates for
the various positions on the repub-
: lican ballot, and few less on the
democratic list. Trees, fences, cattle
sheds and buggies all bore evidences
of an approaching election name
} here and picture there. The fair
management seemed to enjoy the pres.
ence of the candidates as their at
tendance meant additional revenue, and
; the lemonade stands naturally profted
, thereby. The candidates are genial
lot of fellows, and they know that
! many voters who cannot be seen at
home may be found at the fair
the annual gathering place.

deferred many from attending that

the last day, however, was the ban.

The Garden City fair is one of the
oldest in the state. 1t was organized
years ago when Minnesota was an in

this annual exhibition, and once a year
