Condemn River Land.

Keokuk, Oct. Another step in
the first condemnation proceedings
brought by the Mississippi River
Power company, which is building
the dam here, was taken yesterday
afternoon when sheriff's commits
sion appraised 222 acres of land
owned by Albert Hagerla in Green
Bay township. Lee county. The
amount the land was appraised FOR
was announced today and is ST.
1850. This is about $500 more
than the water power company Of
fered and more than $4,000 less
than was asked by Hagerla.
Unless an appeal is taken by
either side the land will pass into
the hands Of the company. Nearly
one hundred farmers in Green Bay
township are interested in the case
for the reason that the water pow
err company will have to deal with
about quarter Of million dollars
worth of property affected by over
flow from the dam and over which
there has been more OF less dispute.

Marshalltown, Oct. THE germs
Of infantile paralysis. spread BY
flies feeding on carcasses Of chick
ems which died from the disease. II
the unusual situation that con-
fronts the health authorities Of the
town of Rhodes, in the southern
part of this county. An outbreak
of the disease has resulted In one
death already, and seven are Ill.
In tracing the infection the au-
thorities are convinced that the dis
ease sprung from a paralytic illness
among young chickens in the same
neighborhood near Rhodes, where
the epidemic has appeared. No less
than 1000 spring chickens lied
and insufficient care in disposing OF
the carcasses permitted flies to feast
upon the infected meat, and thus
spread the germs over food in the
homes where the disease has APP
peared. Chickens alone have not
been immune, but fifteen or twenty
young pigs are sick, several have
died already, and one calf has been
stricken In every class Of live
stock affected the victims are all
young. Full grown fowls on ranges
with young chickens that were
stricken did not show any signs Of
the disease whatever.
The little girl who died from the
disease was Elizabeth Wfgnal, 4
years old, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Wignal. living west OF
Rhodes. Her cider brother. Charles.
6 years old, is Ill Of the disease,
having contracted it few days be-
fore his baby sister died. X

Restless Attitude Of striksn Indi-
Gates That Trouble May be Ex-
pected At Several Points
Along Illinois Central.

New Orleans, Oct. 7.As q result
of the attack by Illinois Central
railroad strikers and sympathizers
on the school building where lis
strikebreakers were quartered, the
latter yesterday afternoon were es-
Icorted to a train by armed guards
and rushed out OF the city.
The onslaught OF the mob against
the strikebreakers came with such
suddenness that the police detail
had no opportunity to summon rein
Iforcements. Corporal William Pet
erson, in charge Of the squad, how
ever, displayed such fearlessness in
the face Of Overwhelming numbers
that the mob's spirit wilted and a
bloody encounter was averted.
Corporal Peterson pinioned VIII
liam J. Mason, said to have thrown
the first missile and who was the
supposed leader Of the attack. The
next stone. it is said, was thrown
by Philip Dunn. and he was placed
under arrest
Here the mob started to rescue
their leader, but Peterson's threat
that his men would shoot to kill the
first man who attempted harm to
the officers. brought the mob to G
halt. The arrival Of police reserves
at this juncture put an end to fur
Their rioting.
The other men fell back tw9
blocks from the railroad property
and dispersed. not. however, until
assurances had been given by the
city authorities that the strike
breakers would be taken out of New
Orleans before dark. This the rail-
road company had already arranged
TO do.

fore half past o'clock our men
will let them depart In peace. !

hour for what happens II the strike
breakers are still here.
This is what w. E. Bowen, secre-
tary Of the Federated Trades. and
local strike leader, told Acting May
CIR McCracken and Inspector OF Po-
lice Reynolds. At $3.50 promptly
the strikebreakers were marched
from the old school building under
heavy police guard. placed aboard
a special train and rushed out OF
the city for McComb City. Miss.
There Is still evidence Of the spirit
Of riot among many Of the strik-
ers and further trouble is expected

Lacrosse, Wis, Oct. FROM
twenty-five to thirty business
houses, comprising all the stores on
10th sides of two streets, and as
many residences have been wreck
ed by the food at Black River Falls,
Wis, resulting from the washing
out Of the embankment around the
Lacrosse Water Power company's
dam at Hatfield.
The water, flowing with resist
less current and in tremendous
volume, undermined one big build
ing after another, and as 1t collaps-
ed and crumbled to pieces the de-
bris was carried away. The Tre-
mont hotel, substantial three
story structure, was the first to go.
No precautions could be taken to
stop the wrecking Of the town, the
residents finding 1t difficult prob
lem to secure safety for themselves.
None of the stocks in the stores was
saved and little of the heavier fur
niture in the houses, the people, al
though they knew of the overflow
ing of the Hatfield dam, showing
little fear until the water burst ups
on them.
The city is in darkness, the cleo
trio light plant being one of the
first agencies to be put out of COM
mission.
The disaster was caused by the
sudden rise of the Black river be-
hind two dams of the water power
company following rains which last
ed almost a week. The dams with

tearing out big section of the riy-
er bank and coming down upon the
country below in almost as great
volume as though the dams had
been swept away.
The $5,000,000 property of the
water power company is believed to
be greatly damaged. the breaks on
the side relieving the pressure, and
today it is said the main dam,
which is a concrete structure. 100
feet thick at the base and so feet
at the top, would probably stand
all the force which might be direct
ed against it.
Besides the damage at Black
River Falls, great tract of sur
rounding country was oyerrun.
Effort was made to send warning
to farmers, but the telephone wires
were the first to go down. and the
fate of many settlers, who knew
nothing OF the food until it struck
their localities, is the cause Of some
apprehension.
Below Black River Falls are sew
eral villages, including Roaring,
Creek, Irving, North Bend. Melrose,
Holmen, Lytles, Midway and Ona-

to strike them today. Forces OF
men have been sent out to strength

along the river.

Wisconsin Telephone company at

troubles of the Secretary of State are
not few. Secretary Earle W. Hodges
Monday received request for a
commission as Justice of the Peace,
and instead of the usual dollar which
accompanies such applications, he
received 81 certificate issued by the
City of Little Rock in 1872. The
sender called attention to the fact the
Certificate bore upon it face pro-
mise to pay interest at the rate of
8 per cent, and asked that the Secre-
tary of State collect interest and
principal, deduct his 81 and remit the
balance. AS Secretary Hodges is not
running collection agency, he did
not present the certificate, which is
valueless anyway, as the series of it's
issue has been Cancelled many years
ago. l-
