Fort Dodge, June lS--In all probable
ity the Fort Dodge street ear system
under the present management and
conduction will be thing of the past
on June 81. when the franchise expires.
This statement was made by w. H.
Buckles, manager of the Iowa Foundry
and Manufacturing company OF this
city. who has been appointed receiver
of the Fort Dodge Street Railway COM
pany by Judge II. E. Fry, Of the dis
trict court,
How much longer than June - that
the cars will be operated remains a
question" continued Mr.. Buckles.
THE present arrangement VIII con-
tinue until that time, unless ordered
stopped sooner by the court. The court
will have the jurisdiction following
the termination Of the franchise. How
ever, ii is certain that the ak will fall
and fall decisively."
The appointment of Mr.. Buckles was
made last Friday, but the petition for
receiver was not filed in the Webster
County district court until Monday.

were approved.
Debts Amount to More Than $4,000.

brought the action, charging that the
company now owes S4,s56.0S, that IL is
insolvent, and owes $4,000 as accrued
interest upon bonds which are out
standing. The petition also states that
the company is operating at a steady
loss.
Homer Loring, Of Boston, president
of the Fort Dodge Street Railway
Company. is also president of the Fort
Dodge, Des MSeaes and Southern inter
urban. but companies in control of the
two systems are entirely different in
membership and their business is con-
Quoted entirely Independent of each
other.
Council Considers Matter.
The city council was informed by
The Messenger OF the statement made
by Mr.. Buckles in regard to the prob
ability Of the street car service ending
on June 81. The council was in session
at the time. A short informal discus
sion OF the matter was held .
So far as taking any action is con-.
cerned, the council feels that its hands
are tied. There Is no law in Iowa which
permits a city to operate its own street
car system, so even a discussion of
municipal ownership is without pur-
pose. ....
When the franchise ends, all the
council could do would be to order the
tracks torn up, but such a procedure
would accomplish nothing.
1t is felt that the onl" way the
street car system can be saved Is to get
some man or group of men interested
enough to buy it. So far no likely pur-
chasers have appeared.
Interurban Uses Track.

nue. south and Fourteenth street to the
station on Eleventh street and Central

He was taken to the hospital where
everything was done for him that
could possibly be done, but nothing
could again build up the body that
had lost its vfgor and strength, and

Worst Epidemic Ever known Sweeping the COun-

New York, Jan. .10,-Another cpl

much anxiety on account of its in

army surgeon, in his report, states
that his first cases were German sol

trenches. They communicated the
disease To our boys, quarantine
measures were adopted with no re-

claim there is absolutely no cure for
this disease, which they have named
Lachenitis. There are no two cases
alike and American physicians are
as much at sea over. the malady as
were their French contemporaries.

Custom Had ORIGIN Long Ago.

The almost universal habit of turn
ing aside the head and suppressing
the sneeze or cough has an interesting
origin. 1t is derived frem human ex-
perience. In the middle ages (and
probably much earlier), when frequent
plaques of various diseases swept
away whole populations in Europe, it
was suspected and even believed that
infection was conveyed by coughing
and sneezing. Hence the adoption of
the precaution.
