Dr.. Albert collected twenty two
common drinking vessels a. follows:
Six from hotels, one from q court

The examination was conducted by
Dr. Boyd Of the state university bac-

by DR.. Albert, who communicated the
result to the state board. as follows:
THE following represents the kinds
OF disease producing bacteria and the
number of cups on which such were
found: Diphtheria bacili on two Cloth
cups were from school houses OF a
city in which there were a large mum :

on seven. In addition. seven OF the
cups contained epithelial cells and mu :
Gus from the mouth"
The quantity of pus bacteria and
others in the cups was so great that
when they we're dipped in n solution

Dining Car on Great Western Burns
While Speeding Between Stations.
Waterloo, JAN 22.-The dining car on
the Chicago Great Western, st. Paul to

tween 4 and o'clock Saturday morn
ing, while the train was a short dis
lance north Of fredericksburg. accord
ing to Deputy Sheriff Leighton, who
was a passenger on the train.
The blaze originated In the kitchen
and in a few moments had been famed
by the wind into q raging confiagratson.
Fortunately the car was on the rear
end Of the train and so the other cars
were not endangered.
The blaze illuminated the scenery for
miles around as the train sped like a
meteor across the fields. When the
train reached Fredericksburg a fire
alarm was turned in and the volunteer
fire company responded. In about an
hour the blaze was reported extin
guished but not until the car was COM
pletely ruined
AS 1t was necessary to take the car
to the Oelwein shops. 1t was not un
coupled but the train had proceeded
but short distance from the town
when the flames were again famed
into action. and 1t was necessary to
return to Fredericksburg and give the
fremen another try at 1t.
Naturally the fire caused consider
able excitement on the train but no
one was injured and the only incon-
venience caused was a delayed train
and the necessity OF many passengers
going without their breakfast

Special to Times Republican.
West Union. Jan. 22.-When court
opened here today Judge Hobson faced
one of the heaviest dockets he has ever

have. each asked for $4,000 damages
from City Marshal Chivington. Of Oel-
vein, and his bondsmen, r. S. Fox. and
C. Kutschat. also Superior Judge f. J..
OConnor. The two young men state
that they were on their way home from
ST Paul and on the night Of Dec. q
last they asked for lodging at the city
hall of Oelwein. The next morning,
without trial. and in accordance with
a phone message from Judge OConnor;
they were made to work on the streets
shoveling snow and were Inundated by
carrying around a ball and chain.
