A Fever Lair.


There seems to be sufficient reason for the
virulence Of the yellow fever at Shreveport, La
Its location IL natural fever lair, surrounded
by vast extent OF low land and bayous, always
charged with poisonous malaria at low water.
As is notably the case in places naturally un-
healthy, very little Is taken to avert disease
by any sanitary precautions. The town, by
recent description, was in q condition of filth
well calculated to invite plague. Among other
offensive sights to be met with, were the bodies
Of putrid animals sweltering in the sun, in va
rious parts Of the town, while mud-holes, reek-
ing with niasms, poisoned the entire atmos-
phere. Not long since boat loaded with one
hundred o. more Texas cattle was sunk in the
river near Shreveport. The carcases of the
drowned animals were picked up from the
wreck, taken ashore and skinned for their hides
and were then allowed to remain where they
were thrown, fostering in the sun and purify
ing. If these facts be true, 1t Is not necessary
to seek in the current removal of the great raft
in the Red river above the city, the true cause
for the appearance OF the frightful epidemic
which is now terrifying and Staying the hapless
citizens. BY the kilograms to-day from Shreve-
port 1t seems there Is abatement in the fright
full mortality there, and the distress is spoken of
as "indescribable." IL is satisfactory to note
that generous contributions for the sufferers are
being raised all over the country.
