Partial List of the Bead Many Rev Cases,
but Less Malignant Type-The Labors
and success of the Physicians.
P1AoUEMENE, September 10, 1878.
To the Editor OF the Democrat:
Since my last great many cases OF fever
have occurred here. Last week was cool and
caused great increase OF cases, though the
fever is thought to be less malignant. We
hope this is so, though many have died and
many are very sick.
Among the dead are Mrs. Divide Hebert,
Gardner Behler, Thomas Fl. Harrison, VIM.
Sahlman, one OF the Howard nurses, and a..
J. Gordon.
Mr.. Harrison was lay reader in the Epis-
copal Church and was studying for the min
istry. He of1iciated here at q number OF
funerals, there being no Protestant clergy
man here, and, taking the fever, went to his
long account after few days illness, much

of Avoyelles, besides DR.. Lehman, young
Jewish physician, officiating as Jewish min;
lister in the synagogue here, who has treated
q number Of cases.

about 1875 cases In hand last Monday, and the
number continues. AS many Of these cases
are in the country, 1t is manifest these gentle
men are working very hard. In fact, how

and set about it practically. His labors here
have been great, and / must In simple justice
add that his success In treating the frightfu
malady he found sweeping away, our people
has been as great, If not greater than that o
any other physician.

about 1000 or 5000 people present to witness
the race between Frenchy johnson and Hos
mer. The water was in fair condition. but,
through many delays, the word to start was
not given until about 6 30 p. m.
The course was supposed to be two miles
and return, but It is likely 1t was not SO long.
On the start Hosmer took the lead and kept
it until the finish, winning by about four
lengths. Il was said Frenehy had some diff
ficulty to find the turning buoy. The affair
appeared to be very badly managed.

SAYS the San Francisco Chronicle:
Aud so it appears that the pure and
unselfish Senator Howe Of Wisconsin
attacked the Presidents civil service
reform policy because the President
refused to appoint him to the seat ON
the Supreme Bench made vacant by
the resignation of Justice Davis of
Illinois. This is worse than Conk-
ling. He got angry because the
President declined to appoint his
friends TO office. Howe thinks of no.
body but himself. The State of Wis
consin will leave him out in the cold
after the 4th Of March, 1879, and
therefore he has been looking tor
life office.
