Yellow Fever Scare in Indianapolis.

A special from Indianapolis to the
Chicago Tribune, oath, says: On the
18th inst. Jennie Fauts, young woman
perhaps 20 years of age, living in the
rear of the First Presbyterian Church,
on New York Street, fell in faint after
having suffered from dull aching pain
for several days, which could no longer
be withstood. She took her bed and
was treated for fever till Wednesday
evening, when she was removed to the
City Hospital for better care than she
could receive in a private house among
comparative strangers. DIR. Davis, Su-
perintendent, noticed vomit that look
ed very much like the dreaded black
vomit, and upon examination the pres.
ence of blood corpuscles and acid reac-
ton, which are characteristics of the
original back vomit accompanying yell
low fever, were discovered. The Su-
perintendent at once sought the advice
of a prominent physician in the treat
ment of the case, but their united skill
could not resist the ravages of the dis
ease, and she died last night as stated
on the ninth day after the attack.
OupL. DdVlS StdtcS tHGIe nave oocA
five such cases, three of them fatal,
within the past few weeks. He acknowl-
edges the disease is something like yel.
low fever, and the treatment pursued
has been as for yellow fever. There
were two or three cases of yellow fever
here last summer, imported from the
South, and it is feared that the fever
germs are here, and will be liable to de-
velop under hot weather, particularly il
it should be wet and low. Interviews
with several leading physicians show
that they knew of these cases at the
hospital, and that the sanitary condi'
ton of the city is such as to cause de.
cided measures to be necessary to pre-.
serve the city. DR.. Fletcher pronounced
the hospital case yellow fever, and said
that, while there was no probability Of
the spread of the disease now, still We
are liable to have trouble if continuou:
warm weather should set in followed by
June rains. Most of the physicians
take issue with the Board of Health ,and
declare the sanitary condition Of the
| city to be very bad.

AGRiCUITtRAh EOfEs;

Cows should never be pastured with
pigs, sheep, geese or chickens. They
all render the grass offensive to the neat
er animal. The horse can pasture with
neat cattle.
SHEEP, owing to their shyness, should
bE treated with great kindnsss. Their
treatment should be such thai they will
actually learn to entertain an affection
for their keepers.
EXPERIENCE with the Colorado beetle
should prompt the early planting of po-
tatoes; also abundant manu,ing and
good preparation of the soil. The lat
ter often doubles the crop.
A LITTLE dry sand covered over po-
tatoes when they are first put in the Gel
lar will destroy any unpleasant odor
they may have. 4 sprinkitns of dry,
air Stacked lime will mitigate tenden-
cy to rot.
THE use of salt in the care of farm
animals seems to aid an economical di-
gestion, and assists assimilation of the
requisite normal amount of feod while
it is also believed that it makes the flesh
harder and gives the animal functions a
more regular and healthy action. In
England the average daily allowance of
salt is for calves one ounce per day,
ycar-cld animals three ounces, fatteniDg
oxen six odnces and mich. cows four
ounces. Sheep, it is said, will never
stray from Enclosures where salt is kept
for their constant use, provided, OF
course, running water is also found in
the pasture.

papers as claiming to have had 25 years

Editor Democratic Statesman:
Yesterday morning, 1t about II. so,
this peaceable town was thrown into
quite commOtion by scene which is
acknowledged to be one of the most
tragic that has ever occurred in this
place. While Mr.. Wash G.. Butler OF
this county was standing in w. j. May
fields store talking &c two men Mr..
John Cooper stepped in the back door,
saying, get your pistol" This was
addressed to Butler, who stepped from
the two men, when Cooper shot him in
the bowels. Butler stepped behind
the counter to get his pistol, saying,
"Yeu took advantage of me-" Cooper
ran out of the door, Butler following
him, shooting him in the nip. Cooper
returned the lire, and several shots
were EXCHANGED by the parties. all tax
ing effect. Il was not until Cooper
had gone about 100 feet from the store
that he dropped. Butler was still able
to walk back to the store. He was
shot in the breast, IN the bowels and in
the side. Cooper was shot IN the hip,
and in the breast Just below the neck.
Both lived about three quarters of an
hour, dying within seven minutes OF
each other. The cause is an old fued
which originated SIX years ago.
Both men were young and Of power

have the privilege OF licensing summer

would conduce TO the comfort and
pleasure of those who may visit the
place. In Europe, and even in the

the place of resort for everybody, and
