ELGIN REPORTS ACCIDENTS.
Unusual Number of Casualties Re
corded the Past Week. ,
Elgin and vicinity supplied an un
usual number of casualty reports the
past week as noted in the following
in the Elgin Recorder:
Mrs. Louis Gemmeke and little babe
arrived in Elgin the latter part of
last week from Barber, Idaho, and
brought with her the sad intelligence
of the death of tier husband, who was
killed in the logging camp of the Bar
ber Lumber Co. a few days prior to
her arrival in Elgin. Mrs. Gemmeke
accompanied her husband s remains
to Spokane, where they were interred.
Gemmeke s death occurred while 'he
was at work in the woods and came as
the result of a cable breaking, allow
ing a log to swerve slightly out of its
intended path. The log struck the un
fortunate man with full force and
his death was instantaneous.
Mrs. Baker, who conducts the
boarding house at the Reed sawmill,
was the victim of a painful accident
last Sunday as a result of being
caught beneath a falling horse. TJhe
Recorder is not acquainted with all
the details of the accident but it is
reported that the horse she was rid
ing fell, either by slipping or stum
bling and Mrs. Baker was caught be
neath the animal, sustaining severe
bruises. Dr. F. ,Wi. Whiting, of this
city, was called and rendered the in
jured lady as comfortable as possible.
The 3-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. Weech was the victim of an un
usual accident the latter part of last
week while returning with his parents
from Elgin to the Weech home in the
Pine Grove district. The father and
mother had driven to own, bringing
the boy, spent the day shopping and
on their way home in some unac
countable way the little one fell from
the hack to the road and sustained a
broken right arm and collar bone, and
that injuries of a more' serious na
ture did not result is a wonder.
Davy Blumenstein, popular mem
ber of the Elgin ball club was hit by a
pitched ball in the forenoon game
with the Imbler club Sunday and
painfully injured. Howell was pitch
ing for Imbler and a wild ball st.-uck
Blumenstein on the back of the head
while he was at bat. The fort.! was
such that it rendered the victim un
conscious for a few minutes. He soon
regained consciousness, however, but
suffered until yesterday morning with
a severe headache, from which he is
now recovering and it is thought no
serious resuits will follow from the
injury.
edge and experience in the hands of
the city. From the most prominent
sources uWhand the report of the
gathering include these facts:
"This epidemic is important," said
one authority, "because' of the psycho
logical state it has produced in the lay
public and the opportunity it offers
for research in this little known sub
ject." He pointed out that during the
first six months of 1916 fifteen times
as many children had died of diar
rhoea as of infantile paralysis, six
times as many of measles, ten times
as many of diphtheria and four times
as many of whooping cough, without
exciting any panic.
"Ninety-nine per cent of the chil
dren affected this year are under 10
years of age," said Commissioner Em
erson. They were trot exposed to the
epidemic of 1907, and hence form an
easily inflammable group. Probably
from 5 to 8 per cent are subsequent
cases in the same family."
Neglect of medical diagnosis and
trust in self-styled healers of various
cults has done much harm in spread
ing the disease, he asserted.
' Micro-Organism Is Known. ,
Infantile paralysis is an infectious
and communicable disease which, is
caused by the invasion of the central
nervous organs the spinal cord and
brain of a minuta, filterable micro
organism which has now been secured
in an artificial culture and as such
is distinctly visible under the higher
powers of the microscope.
The virus of infantile paralysis, as
the micro-organism causing it is
termed, exists constantly in the cen
tral nervous organs and upon the mu
cous membrane of the nose and
throat and of the intestines in per
sons suffering from the disease; it
occurs less frequently in the other
internal organs, and it has not been
detected in the general circulating
oiood oi patients.
Although the micro-organism of in
fantile paralysis is now known, the
difficulties attending its artificial cul
tivation and identification under the
microscope are sudh as to make futile
tho employment of ordinary bacterio
logical tests for its detection. Nev
ertheless, the virus can be detected
by inoculation tests upon monkeys,
which animals develop a disease cor
responding to infantile paralysis in
human beings.
No Ground for Early Despair.
But what it is imperative to keep
in mind is that the recovery of pa
ralyzed parts and the restoration of
lost, muscular power and function is
a process which extends over a long
period of time that is, over months
and even years. So that even a se
verely paralyzed child who has made
little recovery of function by the time
the acute stage of the disease is over,
may go on gaining for weeks, months
and even years until in the end he has
regained a large part of his losses.
Fortunately, only a very small
number of the attacked are left se
verely and helplessly crippled. La
mentable as it is that even one should
oe so affected, it is nevertheless a
reassurance to know that so many re
cover altogether and so much of what
appears to be permanent paralysis
disappears in time.
Hence the present experience, se
vere and serious as it is, is not some
thing new; the disease has been se
verely epidemic before and was
brought under control. The knowl
edge regarding it now is far greater
thwn it was in 1908; and the forces
which are dealing with the epidemic
are probably better organized and in
more general co-operation than ever
before. The outlook, therefore, should
not be regarded as discouraging.
