COLLAPSE OF THE BULLS"


C0NFlDENCE-NEws FROM ALONG THE
LINE OF THE MISSISSIPPI CENTRAL. UP TO
NOON YESTERDAY, AND FROM HICKMAN
AND COLUMBUS,
--Aayiecs from Columbus up$o ycstcr-
day evening report no fever, and an abatc-
mcnt of the uneasiness felt there for the
past three days.
Up to noon yesterday for the "a hours
previous, there were ut New Orleans a32
new eases, II deaths; at Canton IL new
cases, 3 deaths; ut Grenada new cases.
deaths at Holly Springs 8 new cases,
deaths.
AT Martin, or Frost, as it is more com
monty called, about 20 miles from here on
the Mississippi Central road there were no
new eases and no deaths up to last
evening, Our readers will recollect with
what avidity the bulls seized upon some
sensational news from this point few days
ago, and sworc by all that was good and
bad that whole families had been stricken
down with it, The outcome of that stuff is
that there has not been Il single case OF the
scOurge there, although there were few
cases of ordinary fever, and these are now
all .conyalesccnt.
The following appears in the St Louis
Dispatch of Friday evening; Hickman,

Chase IL Cabot, ST. Louis: Wootcn is dead.
One new case j. X Muse On the
same day gentleman in Cairo 40 miles
from Hickman and from the disease telc-
graphed 30 new cases there during the
same time. Who is to be believed! The
Cairo man, or the person right on the
grounds with the facts to base his statement
on. There has been "bulldozngn about
this Hickman business, and time will reveal
the causes underlying it,
During the "a hours ending at noon
yesterday, Hickman had 3 new cases and
? deaths. A gentleman well known in
Cairo, who resides six miles this side Of
Hickman, was in town yesterday, and hc
says physician told him the day before
that from wh@ he saw of the sickness and
he had been night among it from the start,
he was convinced that il was an aggravated
type OF III" aCamp fcyer-a disease always
prevalent there in one form or another dur
ing this season. Of the year. The doctor
has lived n Hickman and vicinity for
twenty-six gears, and has practiced there a
great portion Of the time. The more the
features Of the Hickman fever are exam
incd, the stronger the proof becomes
thG Hickman has had o. yellow fever this
seaon.
By the publication of the following
opinion Dr. Rauch has in measure re-
pared the injury he did Cairo in the express
siol Of another opinion of different
nature few weeks ago There has never
been moment since the outbreak Of the
pesilence that Cairo has been
in Danger from il. We have had il here
this season at time when the heat was
extraordinary, when our sanitary condition
was imperfect, and when everything was
favorable to an epidemic, if such thing
were possible under our atmosphere, But it
has never been possible. We have had the
same state Of things precisely every time
the yellow .eyer has been prevalent south.
Cases have been imported, but they
never spread, and when we make this
assertion, We have the experiences Of 1913
before onr eyes. These experiences will be
re opened and discussed at the proper time.
We not only lave had the fever here this
year, but every obseryant man in this com
munity will bear us out in the statement
that our quarantine has been Intellectual. 1t

been more strangers in Cairo than for any
similar period, unless we except holidays
and other special occasions, during a year
past Indeed this fact has become matter
of common comment. We can not say, of
course, that these strangers were all from
infected districts but they were utter
strangers-and the presumption is reasona-
bic that they were refugees from the
scourge. So in truth, Cairo in addition
to having had the disease within its limits,
has practically been without quarantine,
and these two facts put together ought to
be ndisputabe proof to every sane person
that the disease cannot spread here, The
doctor says: "Cairo, Sept. 6, 8 p. m. To
the Associated Press From personal
knowledge and inspection | am satisfied
that there is no yellow fever in this city.
/ am also of the opinion, if the present
sanitary and quarantine precautions are
continued for ten or fifteen days longer,
that there will be none-at least
none will arise from any in
lection that may accidentally be brought
here. From careful examination Of the
