wAlrrEMoRE DENIES 1T.
Disputes Or. Frost's Statement That
Epidemic Spread From Thcre.

Whittemore, Sept. 2o.-Edtor Times
Republican,: In your ISSUE OF Sept. IL
tho following appeared under Des
Moines date line:
1T Is now regarded as almost certain
that the entire epidemic OF infantile
paralysis in Iowa this year came direct
from a case that was brought from the
east and gained foothold in tho town
of Whitteemore In the summer OF 1909.
1t was discovered by DR. Wade Frost
while in northern Iowa that there We're
in all fifteen well defined cases de-
veloped from that center. II was his
belief that this was tire origin OF all
the trouble in Iowa this year
That the source OF the epidemic of
infantile paralysis passing over the
state of Iowa at present can be traced
to Whittemore is a pervens!on of fact.
There were no cases OF infantile para
lysis in Whfttemore during 1909. There
were nine cases in 1908 but there were
many cases Of the disease turnout the
state at that time and we are unable
to see by what source DIR. Frost would
trace the origin OF the present epidemic
to this locality. Our local board OF
health was, perhaps the first in the
state to ask the assistance of the Iowa
state board Of health and the report
given to our local board by the state
board of health physician did not indi-
cate that we were dealing with a con-
tagious disease, nor did his report rec
ommend isolation. We do not believe
that there has been case OF the dis
ease outside of this locality that the
source of infection can be traced here

TURIN MERCHANT MISSING.
He Is Reported to Have Left for
Omaha With $1,000 on Person.

0Indnd VISn S0sO0O OF GoTSOns
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 20.-Relatives
and friends Of Chris Rasmussen,
wealthy implement dealer of Turin,
Iowa, are greatly alarmed over his dis
appearance.
Rasmussen is reported to have left
home the morning of Sept. 6, saying
he was coming to Omaha to purchase
the late fall and winter stock for his
implement house. He is said to have
had close to $1,000 in currency on his
person when he started for the train.
AS nothing has been heard from the
man since the date named. Turin rel
atives have asked the police here to
institute an investigation. The police
have been among the implement job
bers here and while most Of them know
Rasmussen, none Of them remembers
of having seen him recently. The
dealers say that so far as they know.
he has not been in Omaha this month.
Relatives at Turin believe that Ras-
mussen came to Omaha and that he
met foul play here. The police do not
hold to this view, however.
