the same as those of cholera.
DR.. Rodenmayer said the disease ap-
peared to be an inflammation of the
bowels and an attack on the stomach
of the victims. Children of a sound
condition are able to withstand the at
tack, but those of a delicate constitu-
ton expire invariably within three or
four days. ----.--
The nature of the disease has not
been fully determined by the attend
ing physicians. Remedies have proven
to be effective in a number of cases,
but failed in other instances. The
plague has been repeatedly termed the
'bloody flux."
A majority of deaths, the physicians
say, is due to the fact that the parents
of the children fail to consult a phys
ician in time to save the child's life.
In most instances the illness Of the
child is believed by the parents to be
only a slight attack of Indigestion or
some other slight disorder, and neglect
to call a physician before the disease
takes strong hold on the victim and
prigs the child's entire system.
The intense heat during the past
week is believed to have contributed to
swell the list of the children that sue
cumb to the disease.
An exact number of children still
suffering from the "bloody fiux" can
not be obtained, but it estimated that
at least 40 in Scott County are now
confined to their beds as result of
an attack of the strange disease. Jesse
Grafton of Oran, who has lost two
children during the last week, has two
others suffering from the malady.
Both are said to be in very critical
condition.
The 3-year old son of Walter Chitty
of Oran is also expected to die. The
boy has been ailing for five days, and
has been unconscious for several days.
A son Of J. w. Lindley, who lives on
a farm a mile west of Oran, is in
a precarious condition.
The child from Sikeston that died
in the Cape several days ago under
the same symptoms as the children in
Scott County, was Henry Francis Mol
lenhaur, the son of Peter Mollenhaur.
The child died Monday morning at the
home of its aunt, Mrs. Joseph Schwab
on North Frederick street, and was
buried Tuesday morning. Other cases
have not been reported in the city.

KILL OFF ELEPHANT
WHO BOTHERS FARMERS

johannesburg, June 81. Because
the farmers complained the animals
destroyed crops and had killed several
persons, the Government of South At
rica has commissioned a band of hunt
ers to kill off part of the herd of $50
elephants in AIDA Bush, so miles from
Port Elizabeth. This is the only herd
now remaining in Southern Africa.

Expects To Be Called With
Band to Training Camp In
Few Weeks.
SPECIAL ELECTION WILL
BE HELDIN FIRST WARD
Councilman Anxious te See I'm.
prOvements ade He MAdvoca-
ted in City Council.

DR.. c. E. Schuchert, representing
the First ward in the City Council, will
tender his resignation as member of
the City Council in a few weeks, he
announced yesterday. Owing to the
i fact that the band, of which DR.. Schu-
ebert is director, has been accepted as
unit of the Missouri Sixth, the
councilman is expecting a call at any
time.
The resignation of DR.. Schuchert as
member of the City Council will ne
cessitate a special election in the First
ward. The election must be called by
Mayor Hirsch after the resignation of
Councilman Schuchert has been ac-
cepted.
Several weeks ago DR.. Schuchert of
fered his musicians, which is asknoWl-
edged to be the best in Southeast Mis-
souri,, as the band Of the Missouri
Sixth. Brigadier General Clark ac-
cepted the offer and ordered DR.. Schu-
ebert to have his men mustered in.
Major Linxweiler of the Missouri
National Guard came to the Cape last
week to swear in the members of the
band. twenty-five were accepted, and
with four additional players, the band
will be brought to war strength.
1t is not definitely known when the
band together with the Cape company
of the Missouri Sixth will be called
out, but it is believed that the order
to have them report at the State train
ing camp a Nevada is forthcoming in
4 few weeks.
DIR. Schuchert was elected council
man last April. He ran on the Hirsch
ticket against Ed S. Blumer, whom he
defeated by small majority. Since
he has been a member Of the City
Council DR.. Schuchert has become the
author of several important bills,
which were passed by the City Coun-
ell.
1t was due to DR.. Schuchert's efforts
that the ordinance authorizing the
paving of Broadway between Lorimier
and Middle street was put through. !
He was also one of the strongest sup
porters of the paving Of North Main
street, which is part of the First ward. |
DR.. Schuchert said yesterday he
would like to see the improvements
started before he rendered his resig- |
nation. He said he was confident that
the work on Broadway could be begun
in short time. Bids for the contract |
will be asked by the City Council at
the next meeting, and the contract |
may be let at the following meeting,
which will be held on the third Mon
day of next month.
DIR. Schuchert created strong sem |
timent against himself when he be-
gan advocating the present street
cleaning system. Many citizens have
protested because of the unsanitary
results, but the councilman refused to
yield to the many complaints. He
maintains that the present street
cleaning system is better than ever
before, and that at present more
streets are cleaned within a week, than
were before in whole year.

The first case of the new disease
made its appearance at Oran about
two weeks ago. The number of chill
dren falling victims to the plague in
creased from day to day, and phys
icians became I larmed at the wide
scope the bseas gaining. Every
treatment was gwen the children. 1t
is estimated that from 40 to so chill
dren are suffering from the disease in
Scott County. and several are in such
critical condition that the physicians
have given up hopes of recovery for
the little ones.
A number of adults have also been
found to be suffering from the new
disease. A woman, 60 years old, liv-
ing near New Hamburg, is reported in
n precarious condition and not expect
ed to live. Other cases throughout
the county have been reported, and
the physicians are bending efforts to
curb the malady.
DR.. Henry Rodenmayer of Kelso in
formed The Tribune that the symp-
toms of the new disease were similar
to those of cholera. As a rule, he
said, the first signs Of the disease fol-
low hearty meal, consisting prin-
cipally of vegetables. The cause, how
ever has not been definitely determin-
ed by the physicians.
The ailment proves invariably fatal
in at least eight out of every ten
cases. Infants and children of IL to
20 months are mainly subject to the
disease. Physicians have found that
nearly every case can be traced to
fresh vegetables, and in many cases
