Epidemic of Typhoid in Osa-
WatOmie State Hospital.
Twenty-Five Cases Are Report
ed to Board of Health.
EFFORTS TO STOP IT FAILED
Local Physicians Appeal to To-
peka for Assistance.
Belief That Cook Brought Dis
ease to the Institution.

An epidemic of typhoid fever was
reported today from the state hospital
at Osawatomie. Twenty-Five cases
have been found among patients of the
institutions. DIR. j. ]. Sippey of the
state board of health will leave tonight
for Osawatomie.
That alarming conditions exist at
this hospital was admitted in state
house circles today by persons in
touch with the Osawatomie situation.
Efforts of the medical staff of the hos
pital to stamp out the disease have
failed and the state health board will
investigate. 1t is the belief of DR..
Carmichael, superintendent of the hos
pital. and members of the state board
of health that the disease was COM
municated to the hospital by en-
ployees. Denials are made by state
officials that the epidemic was due to
insanitary conditions in the institution.
Disease Is Spreading.
The spread of the disease in the hos
pital has been rapidly increasing, re-
ports state. Two months ago the
number of cases of typhoid were linn
tied to two or three. At this time
there are no less than twenty-five pa
tients suffering. Sanitary conditions
of the hospital are high class. it is
contended. On that basis it is argued
that the disease was communicated to
the inmates and attendants by an en-
ployee who is said to have brought the
disease germs to the hospital from
OsaWatomie.
Cause a Mystery.
I'VE will make a thorough investi-
CATION and will take every step toward
al Immediate stamping out of the dis
ease" said DR.. Sippey. The manner
in which the disease spread in the
hospital is a mystery, however. We
are convinced that the epidemic can
not be due to lack of sanitary condi-
lions, as they are good. One report is
to the effect that the disease was com
municated to the institution by a cook
who had visited in town and brought
the disease germs to the hospital
DIR. Carmichael himself is among
the persons who have recently suf-
fered from the fever. A number of
other officers and attendants in the
hospital have recently been sick. At
this time. reports indicate, there are
twenty-five cases in the hospital.
There have been no deaths.
