cool; mercury last night 81; new cases.

CAIRO, Sept. l3.-The excitement over
the two cases of fever yesterday has nearly
subsided.
Mulky died this morning, was promptly
buried, and the premises thoroughly dis
infected, Several hundred panic stricken
people went north by the night and morn

reported this morning has done much to
quiet the excitement.
We foster the hope that the city is in no
greater danger now than before the de-
velopment of these cases. Centralia has
quarantined against trains from Cairo.
