CITY INVADED BY
PARALYSIS SCARE
Symptoms of Dread Disease
Bring Quarantine Restrictions
to Two City Homes

Two cases of-ilIness affecting chill
dren in the Hans Collie and George
Norton families this city caused
Health Officer Caine to place them
under quarantine restrictions early
last Sunday pending developments.
Symptoms indicating infantile par
alysis were present but late yesterday
all fears were removed and the quar-
antine will be lifted tomorrow or ear
ly Sunday morning. DR.. Burns of the
state health department was here
Monday and after examining the pat
tents stated he failed to find serious
cause for alarm but advised that quar-
antine restrictions be maintained.
In the case of the Norton child, a
boy about six years of age, it is
claimed that thoughtless men, while
working in sewer, had drenched the
boy with cold water which afterwards
caused his illness and developed a
high fever, accompanied by all the
symptoms of paralysis. He was in
a precarious condition when the doctor
was called. The Collie child, a girl
about nine years of age, had been
sick for a week before medical aid
was summoned. Her paralysis sym
ptoms were even more pronounced.
DR.. Burns. who arrived IN the
city Monday, was on his way to the
town of Stevens in the western part
of the county where two cases had
been reported, and to Herman ant
Starbuck to investigate others. Ac-
coroing to DR.. Burns fourteen pro-
nounced cases of paralysis exist in
this section of the state. All the
cases he came to investigate in Ste
vens county proved due to other causes
but in Pope county he found two par.
alysis cases in the same family both
serious. DIR. Caine accompanied him
to Herman and Starbuck. While DIR.
Sums was happy to find the four all
legged cases hereabouts groundless
he complimented the action of the
county health officer and urged that
similar restrictions be taken in al
future doubtful cases which may de-
VelOp.

WHEAT MOUNTS TO
new W HIGH PRICES
Adverse Conditions Due to Plant
Disease, Insects and Weather
.1a Cut Production

Prices on wheat and -four took a
sudden jump in Morris yesterday and
today grain men are paying the high
est price for wheat since civil war
days. Adverse conditions due to
weather, plant disease and insects
damaged the country's principal farm
crops during July and resulted in a
loss of 105, 900, 600 bushels in pros
#pective wheat production according to
the department of agriculture at
Washington. The report was issued
this week and spectators all over the
country began buying.
Reports from all over the country
tel of reduced yields. In Nebraska
and Kansas and the north Pacific coast
the yield is generally good and thresh-
ing is going on. The rest of the
country is in a bad way. In Canada,
Italy and Russia harvesting has COM
menced with unfavorable reports.
Grain men in Morris state the sud-
den raise in prices are not due to spe-
culation. They are looking for an
active bear rush to depress markets
within the next few days and the new
specculators who always come into the
market on bull activities may be
cleaned up. At the same time they
fear markets may really be on a
steady incline.
Quotations on Morris produce this.
