CHICKENS SPREAD DISEASE.

PuIIsts and coeksrsis Pose on One
Leg, Then Tumble Over Dead.
Des Moines. April 21.-An unusual
story Of chickens becoming afflicted
with infantile paralysis, losing the use
Of one leg, and falling from their roosts
at night, reached the state board OF
health yesterday.
It came in connection with the report
of physician at Garnaville in the case
of Irene Tackman, a girl suffering with
the disease. The physician-Dr. j. W.
Hudek-advances the opinion that the
girl caught the disease from the chick
ems.
In his statement the doctor says that
many chickens on the Tackman farm
lost the use Of one leg some time ago.
At night. he said. the chickens would
fly up to a roost. They would stand
there as long as possible on one leg
the ntumble to the ground dead. What
investigation he has made leads him
to believe that the chickens are suf-
fering with the dread infantile paraly-
SIS It is known that the illness Is
contagious and he believes the little
Tackman girl contracted the disease
from the fowls.
DR.. Sumner stated this morning It
has been discovered in the past that
chickens sometimes suffered from the
disease and that when DR.. Frost, the
government expert, was in Iowa last
year, chickens were sent to him for
examination.

Des Moines, April 22.-"f anyone
wants to know what the abolition of
the army canteen does to the army he
should go to San Antonio" said Major
w. 8. Conkling, surgeon of the Fifty
fifth regiment. He had Just come
back from the south where he was one
Of the Iowa officers assigned to duty
with the regular army in camp.
''The city OF San Antonio granted IL
censes for saloons that are located in
tents and temporary shacks in row
just outside the fence of the camp
grounds. There are fifty saloons oper.
ating day and night dishing out every
thing imaginable for the soldiers and
wholly without restraint"
Major Conkling does not give very
flattering description Of conditions at
the big camp where 1900 regulars are
waiting the order to do something. The
ground is very small and there is no
room for maneuvers or drilling. The
army officers there know no more
about the plans Of the government than
is generally known.

MANY SALOONS HIT
Council Bluffs Attorney says All But
Five or Six Of the Fifty three sa-
looms There Must Close Doors.

Council Bluffs, April 22.-County At
torney F. j. Capell created stir last
evening when he announced that OF the
flfty-three saloons now operating here,
all but possibly Ave or six will be
closed by the recent ruling on the
Moon law.
A number sufficient to bring the total
to twenty-nine can reapply and secure
licenses. but 1t is anticipated that an
endless amount Of trouble will be en-
countered in deciding which shall be
allowed to run.
The county attorney rules that all but
the favored five or six saloons are now
being operated in violation OF the law
and this fact may operate against fu-
ture licenses. The court ruling cuts the
number of saloons almost in two.
