Everything Possible is Being Done
to Prevent Spread of the
Dread Disease in the
Community.
ONE CASE BAFFLED PHYSICIANS
The Patients Will be Placed in a De
tention Hospital Now Being
Erected in Sparboe Court.

Webster City's first cases of infan-
tile paralysis We're diagnosed yester-
day as such and are today being iso-
lated in a detention hospital which
is being established at the expense
of the county in Sparboe Court in the
extreme southwest portion of the
city one block from any dwelling.
The first case is that of Fred Rein
hardt, aged 10 years, living with his
mother, Mrs. William Reinhardt, at
1902 Seneca street. The boy has
the disease in a bad form and the
lower limbs are the worst affected.
The second case is that of Charles
Baker, a nine year old lad whose
father has been travelling about the
country as a horse trainer. The
child had been i'll about two weeks
when brought to this city about one
week ago and physicians had dag
nosed his ailment as typhoid fever.

PICKED
AT OUTING CLUB
N. M. O'Conner Loses and Regains
Fifty-Seven Dollars All
in One Day.

N. M. O'Conner had one of the
scares Of his life Sunday, while play
ing golf at the Outing club grounds
when he went to the locker where he
had hung his heavier trousers, at the
conclusion of a game of golf, and
discovered s57 was missing. The
locker door had been closed but not
locked-in other words the locker
was not locked.
Persons on the grounds had re-
called seeing lad about the grounds
during the day, who was not a men,
Der Of the club, and he was approach
ed and questioned, with the result
that he turned over the money. The
boy had simply been tempted by the
easy access to the lockers and their
contents and had not been able to
resist the temptation of so much
money. The young man has prev
iously borne a good reputation and
those interested were not inclined to
prosecute, if he returned the money.

Mr.. Curtis stated that $50 roses
of various varieties were cut yester-
day in the Curtis greenhouses. This
number includes the American Beau

REV. F. R. BABER
RESIGNS Passionate
Pastor of United Brethren Church
Makes Change on Account
of Climate.
!, I'm RAE

On Sunday Rev. E., R. Baber, pas
tor of the United Brethren church
in this city, announced to his con-
gregation his intention Of resigning
the work here to seek a more temp
crate climate. This announcement
will be received by regret by all who
have been in touch with this splen-
did family during their short years
residence in this city. Rev. Baber
felt that to stay a few months long
err would be an injustice to the con-
gregation who should be in posi-
ton to know they might retain
pastor for at least three years and
possibly five.
The long and severe winters Of
this section is the only reason for
the change, which will either be to
Geneva, Neb., or to Salina, Kan. The
pastor held a pastorate at Topeka,
Kan, before coming to Webster City,
and Kansas has been the scene of
his work for nearly forty years, al
though Iowa is his native state.
The family are regretting very
much the severing of pleasant ties
formed in Webster City. In all his
experience, Rev. Baber never lived
in a town he liked so we'll as Web
ster City; but the work of this con-
gregation is so scattered, including
the work at Mulberry Center and
elsewhere, that the long drives with
the thermometer below zero are an
important factor in the decision.
family such as that of Rev. Baber's,
is an asset to any community and
their departure from the city will
cause genuine sorrow to all.
Rev. Baber and S. C. Thompson
will leave tomorrow for the United
Brethren conference at Toledo, Ia.
and it is with pride that the pastor
carries a report Of this congregation
here In which the pastors salary
and all benevolences are paid up to
date. The church has continued its
steady growth during the present
pastorate and no doubt will continue
to prosper.

EDUCATIONAL FILMS
SHOWN AT ORPNEUM
Webster City is First Iowa Town to
Show Them-An Should
Sec Them.

Two moving picture films-"The
Price of Human Lives and Playing
the Lone Game" will be shown at
the Orpheum theatre, one on We'd
nesday evening, Sept. ~, and the
other on Thursday evening, Sept. %.
These films are sent out by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis and will
be available in Iowa for period of
three months, starting the health
campaign in Webster City. The films
will be shown in addition to the reg
ular program at the Orpheum.
The films are shown here under
the auspices of the Home club, which
is connected with the Iowa Associa-
ton for the Prevention of Tubercu-
losis, which in turn is affiliated with
the national organization. Mrs. F.
R. Mason of the Home club has had
charge of this philanthropic work
since it was introduced into the club
several years ago and many different
things, such as selling Red Cross
seals at Christmas time, have been
accomplished by the club women.
Anything to assist in the state
wide anti-tuberculosis activities is
worthy Of the patronage of all and
the Iowa association will no doubt
realize a goodly sum of money from

by them in connection with the

WEBSTER CITY HAS TWO
CASES >!NFANT|Lf PARALYSIS

err on Odell street, he was taken to
Mercy hospital for treatment. For
the past three days a consultation Of
physicians has been held over the
the case which is puzzling, is the
fact that only the tongue is paralyz-
perplexing symptoms of the case and
it was last night diagnosed as an
terror poliomyelytis. The phase of
ed-an abnormal phase.
Because of the fact that the case
was in the hospital, City Manager
Vollmer was called upon to at once
provide detention hospital or
house, for the reception of the case,
and after considerable hustling he
managed to secure a portable house
which is being erected at the coun-
tvs expense, upon a vacant lot in
Sparboe Court, one block from any
residence. Both cases of infantile
paralysis will be taken there and a
tent be erected for the special train
ed nurse who will have charge of
them.
Fumigation of the room at the
hospital and the home on Seneca
street will mitigate all danger of
the spread of the disease which has
never been found to be contagious
one. It is only infectious through
contact with the discharges from the
nose and throat, so far as known, al
though really very little is known of
the disease.
Precaution is excellent, however,
and mothers will do well to spray

Appreciative Words,

A woman from out of the city
spent Saturday here on business
which was finished about three
hours before train time and had no
other place to go to rest but the rest
room. She was only one of many
who have used this room in like
manner, but as she left to go to the
station she said, eff I never come to
Webster City again, / shall remem-
Der 1t for its pleasant, comfortable
rest room. This has been one of the
pleasantest days in my business life,
because l have had a pleasant place
to rest!"

MEETING OF COM
MERc|AL LEAGUE
Organization Expects to Wind up its
Affairs at a Meeting Next
Monday Night.

Eight of the directors of the Com
|mercial League held a meeting last
might in the city hall to discuss the
rest room proposition and also to
talk over the prospects of reorgani-
zation. The prospects for re-organ-
ization are not very good. There is
one thing the matter in this city and
that is the selfish spirit which pre-
dominates in some quarters. The OBJ
ject seems to be with a few men to
"do" the other fellow before he
"does" you. The commercial league
which will grow and which will be
of real benefit to the town is the one
which seeks to better the entire life
of the community.
Algona has such a league and
their dues are in proportion to the
work to BE done A permanent
home is but small factor in the life
Of league. If there is good spirit
one of helpfulness for the entire
community-the home will come lat
err as matter of course. 1t would
be better for the present organiza-
ton to die and be buried. It is al
ready dead but still unburied. The
burden of actual running expenses is
too heavy for dozen or fifteen
young business men to keep up
alone. They resent--and rightly
the doing out of five dollars by some
citizen who accompanies his gift
with the remark, "T don't intend to
be member of the league, but here
is So" A real league wants spir-
it first, of at least a majority of bus
mess and professional men, or even
Of retired men, then after that an
organization of directors and officers
chosen by majority preference with
dues large enough to make men feel
they are really joining something
worth while.
Webster City will have a real
league some time, but it will have
to be league and not section of a
league. AS matters now stand the
league can do nothing alone for the
rest room. They are in arrears up
on the room up-keep and about 500
was raised last week; the remainder
will be raised later.
Another meeting will be held next
Monday night to close final details.
The board of directors have been
guilty of some indiscretions and
have insisted upon pushing four
flushers to the front who used the
league to vent their personal spleen.
There has also been too much of par
tisan politics among the directorate.
