FIFTY CASES OF SMALLPOX.
Alarming Condition of Affairs i.
Reported in Western
Iowa.

Algona, Ia, Jan. 11.-About two
weeks ago a peculiar disease broke
out in the neighborhood just north
and west of Springfield township
among several families and spread
until a large number were afflicted
with something that caused the
whole body to be broken out with
pimples, but no one seemed to be
very sick.
The pupils in one district all had
the same disease and the teacher,
when her school closed for her
Christmas vacation, was covered with
the pimples. She went to her home
in Mankato to spend couple Of
weeks.
Finally one of the older men of
that neighborhood was taken sick,
and, being much worse than the 9TH
ers had been, called DR.. Burton, a
former Gilmore doctor, now residing
in Blue Earth, and he pronounced
the trouble a very malignant case of
small pox. The old gentleman, Jo-
seph Cefelski, died the next day.
1t is reported that there are at
present over so cases of the disease
in that neighborhood.

Should Join Forces.

Hon. C. A. Ficke: The question
between the prohibitionists AMI the
anit-prohibitionists is not one OF ends
but one of means to be employed to
a common end; the suppression of
intemperance. Viewing the problem
thus, ones understanding is baffled
by the failure of prohibition leaders
to realize how powerful a union Of
forces for good would result. and
how swiftly obstacles in the pa h OF
success would vanish would they but
choose more rational means to their
end; and, instead of denouncing
those who reject compulsory total
abstinence, invite their cooperation
in fighting intemperance upon some
basis which would not force them to
do violence to lifelong convictions.
BY such union of forces millions of
anti-prohibitionists contending for a
principle and not for beer, from the
use of which many of them totally
abstain, would be converted from ad-
versaries into powerful allies in the
effort to crush intemperance."

had decided not to take the trip and
sought to have the money refunded.
A draft for sc cents was sent him.
The draft came back yesterday In
the meantime Billy Sunday had been
holding revivalS in Wichita. Some
where in his audience must have
been Hays, for in the letter which

ductor out of the fare. Inclosed find

A Hungry Wolf.

Allamakee is a wild and woody
county, still. Rural Mail Carrier
Toilet Johnson on route 3, had an
experience with a large wolf Tues
day forenoon that was the real
thing. The carrier was driving his
team through corn field along his
route just west of Rossville, when
he came upon a wolf watching for
rabbits. The first thing he knew the
wolf was following him. The car
rier would stop his team every few
yards, and Mr.. Wolf would stop-al-
ways keeping a rod or two behind
After travelling this way for some
distance Toilet made up his mind
he might just as well die right there
as few rods farther on, and not
having any revolver along he opened
up big jack knife. Mr.. Wolf was
mad by this time and hungry, and
his hair was standing up like a mad
dogs. Toilet got up in the sleigh
and was prepared for fight, but his
gestures caused the wolf to stop and
think minute and then slowly
backed off and ran out of sight. Toll
lef is now better armed, and carries
a gun and accident policy. The hui
morous side of it is that Carrier
Krieger on route five is almost scared
to death, and it takes all the persua-
sion of the whole crew to get him
started out each morning since.

$4,000 ISLANDER SUIT.
Physician and His Wife at Waverly
Defendants in Big Suit Brought
BY George Sanders.

A $4,000 SANDER suit is booked
for the approaching term of court at
Waverly. George G. Sander asks this
amount for malicious SANDER from
DR.. w. A. Rohlf and Mrs. w. A.
Rohlf The papers in the case are
voluminous.
1t appears that Sander was engag-
ed to marry Miss Mary Pothast. DR..
Rohlf is Dr1ctising physician and
George c. Ter called upon hi n
for medical treatment. The stories
that Sander HOW alleges that Dr.
Rohlf put atOAC caused Miss Cla'
Pothast to ref sc D become his wife,
and broke the engagement.
Mr.. Sander las also instituted pro-
ceedings against Mrs. Otto Wolthers,
who was Miss Clara Pothast, for ma
icious SANDER and another case
against her for 900 for breach of
promise. Other cases are pending
and are liable to be filed at any
time.
Some five years ago fight was
commenced on the doctors of WAY
erly, and some are of the opinion
that this case is simply an out
growth. However, it is stirring the
old county as it has seldom been
stirred before.

TEAM TAKES ICY PLUNGE.
Horses Fall Into River at Nashua,
Being Rescued With Difficulty
by WOrkmen.

Nashua, Jan. 22.-While putting
up ice at the A. ID. Leaman ice rouse
today, a team belonging to Charles
Leaman and valued at $500, came
nearly being drowned. They had
been left standing tied to a tree,
when one of them caught his head
under the bride and got loose, back
ing into the channel, team, harness
and hobs. A dozen men ran to their
rescue and they were gotten o4t by
running them up the chute. All that
saved them from drowning being
that their heads were out of water,
as it was one horse came nearly be-
ing drowned, going under the ice.
One of the men reached under the
water and loosened the harness from
the hobs. They were run around
after being taken out, until they be-
gan to get warm, when another har-
ness was put on them and they were
taken to Hartman's livery barn,
where four sets of blankets were put
on them and it is thought they will
come out all right.

PERFORM OPERATION.
DefOrmity of Mason City Child
Removed by Chicago
Surgeon.

The operation performed by Dr.
Frederick Mueller of Chicago, who
conducted clinics in Mason City some
time ago, on the year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Z. r. Brown has
been watched with a great deal of
Interest by the medical fraternity.
Dr.. Mueller was associated with Dr.
Lorenz. The little child had a dislo-
cation of her hip ever since birth. In
the operation the ligaments were
loosened at the knee, the deformity
adjusted and weight attached
which stretched the leg until it was a
little longer than the other, but it
will shrink little and be the same
length as the other. DR.. Mueller says
this was one of the most severe eases
he ever saw. The pain and suffering
of the child has been terrible but
the assisting physicians are quite
confident that when she gets up she
will have the full use of her leg.

Child Died on Train.

Humboldt Republican: On Friday
night of last week lady was going
north on the M. & st. L. passenger
at night, with five weeks old twins
The train became snow bound and in
an effort to get through the steam
was cut off from the coaches, and
one of the little babies chilled to
death, and the other suffered intense
ly, and it was feared that it could
not live. Everything possible was
done by the passengers to help the
little ones and their grief stricken
mother. Passengers loaned their
overcoats and wraps, but without
avail. 1t is most deplorable case,

ed within a hundred years.

MASON CITY HAS RECORD.
Town of $4,000 Population Has Two.
Thirds as Many Murders
as London.

Mason City, Ia, Jan. 22.-Dr. L.
c. Clark of the First Methodist
church, touched upon local condi-
tons in a sermon recently. He GER
tainly made some surprising state
ments. This city with its less than
fifteen thousand population had dur
ing the year 1911 eight murders or
attempts at murder. He said that
the report from London, the largest
city in the world, only showed twelve
murders in the same length of time,
and Paris only fifteen. He believed
that violators of the law should be
more rigidly dealt with and it is the
easy method criminals have of get
ting out of trouble that brings about
conditions such as now exist here.

laugh at funny story told by her
daughter about what she had seen
at a circus at Boone, Mrs. Fox began
to laugh yesterday and could not
stop until she was under the influ-
ence of chloroform. Besides her at
tack proved so contagious that Drs.
Aplin, Bush and Bulge, who were
called to treat the strange case, be-
came affected by the hilarity, and
composed themselves with conside"-
able difficulty.
Opiates were given, but they only
increased the intensity of the laugh
ter. When the chloroform was ad-
ministered Mrs. Fox fell asleep, and
in the morning was in her usual good
health.

Lost Four Good Horses.

Wesley News-World Last Tuesday
Mike Matern had the misfortune to
lose four valuable horses. He had
put six horses in the pasture where
there was a farm building full of
wheat. The horses discovered a place
where the wheat had run out and
partook of too much of the grain.
When Mr.. Matern discovered the
horses it was too late and four of
them died in a short time. The other
two were in very bad condition for
some time, but we understand that
they rallied and are all right now.
