City wholesale district. Whole packs of
the pests have been seen at one time
along Perry creek where the stream
flows thru the business district. 1t is
estimated that aside from the danger
OF the spread of disease, the rodents
destroy thousands of dollars worth of

have been captured in that city. and
it is estimated that many of the crea

cases of the plague are anticipated in
other cities along the Mississippi river.
The Iowa board of health has issued
a bulletin warning the people Of this

the disease can easily be brought here
