Influenza Is spreading rapidly In
Fort Madison, with not very much be-
ing done in the way of preventive
measures. The order of the state
board OF health and or General Blue
seemed to have been ignored there. at
least Il. TO last light, alth ough there
were cases there for several lays
But the energetic example OF Koo-
kuk bore good fruit, and this morning
Mayor Smith, of Fort Madison, tele-
phoned Mayor Lotion to ask what
KeokulS was doing and advice as to
what to do up there. Mayor Lotion
told Mayor Smith to see The Gate
City of last evening for particulars of
action here, and the Fort Madison
mayor said that that city will do the
same rs ksckuk.
burlington is taking some proven
tive measures, but like some other
cities 1t seems to be waiting for the
epidemic to become dangerous in that
city before trying hard t, sop it.
Hamilton has about a dozen cases
and It Is complying with the illinois
state board of health regulationa
which take the direction of isolation
of patients and their famr:es-quar.

ored in Iowa or by most sanitarians

MANY THINGS
ARE CHANGED

ManeuVering by
Many

1t was after II o'clock yesterday
! forenoon. when the Keokuk board of
health issued it's order stopping assem-
blies in Keokuk and sent it to The
Gate City.
The way things occurred in the next
hour was interesting.
! Seven different news articles in
| type and the forms had to be hurried
/ ly pulled out and changed, because
they contained references to events
placed under the ban for Saturday
and later. Besides these larger news
stories, there was job lot of items
about everything from boy scouts to
Sunday school classes and social af-
fairs that had to be quickly culled
from the proofs.
Before that was accomplished the
telephone began to emit countless
orders to omit various church society
and other notices sent in earlier in the
day.
A bulletin was posted on the war
bulletin board as soon as the board of
health order was issued and those in
charge of future meetings heard the
news and got busy win >stonishing
celebrity. Within fifteen minutes, the
management had telephoned notice
of the football game of Saturday be-
ZIG called off. Also, the ques. o.: be
gar to arrive at the fount Of inforna-
ton. the newspaper ofrErc.
The first querist wanted &c know
ir &c order forbade him motoring in

the queries whether this and [, at
secluded for last evening would ocour,
and so on.
Another voice on the wire wanted
TO know whether it closed the meat
shops and grocery stores, and was
told that on the contrary doctors rec
ommend eating plenty during the cpl

They have $500 worth of bonds

Nauvoo council and Geo. Hemmy
lecturer.
The Nauvoo physicions weighed
and measured large bunch OF babies
as per request of the government last
Thursday and Friday to learn how
many perfect and near perfect chill
dren this grand old town has.
A number of Nauvoo ladies say that
Mayor Montgomery should prevent
users of ice from washing the crys-
tai blocks on sidewalks in the bust
ness portion Of the city as well as
washing dirty automobiles.
Ralph Lane, the cream and poultry
buyer in Nauvoo is reported very iii
at his Hamilton home. His many
Nauvoo friends hope he will recover
rapidly and soon be among us again.
After Ellis Daugherty took sick and
was compelled to take to his bed, Mrs.
Daugherty and her eldest daughter
also became i'll and the family is en-

Their legion of friends hope nothing
serious will result from their illness
and that the members of the family
will soon be up and around again en-
joying their usual good health.

Family Should Stay at Home.
| 1t seems to need to be emphasized
that the board Of health order does
not restrict travel of well people in
| the least-on just the contrary 1t does
prevent them standing or sitting still
in large groups.
But the mayor today asked special
emphasis to pc placed on the desire
of the health board that all the mem
bers of family containing a case of
influenza stay strictly at home.
Talk in the street indicates that
any persons wandering around the
neighborhood out of house contain
ing case of influenza will be con-
sidered unfriendly to the rest of the
population and be treated rather I'M
kindly by their fellow citizens.
Epidemic Committee Meets.
The committee appointed the other
day to act with the Keokuk board of
health as assistants in preventing the
spread of the epidemic will hold its
first meeting at the former church
time Sunday.
1t will meet in the city council
chamber at 1920 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
The Keokuk Electric company
notified the mayor that its cars. in
Guiding the interurban car, will be
thoroughly disinfected repeatedly as
long as the disease lasts here.
The sleeping quarters of the hre-
men at all the fire department sta
tons were disinfected today.

He was answering somebody who
told what Davenport is doing, and he
went on to say that Ii Davenport
chose to let conflagra ton burn there,
1t should not cause the abolition of
the keokuk fire department regula-

In prevention, the city government
is being given the active and highly
appreciated assistance of some of the
very large corporations here.
