At noon to-day the temperature

from the west, and a heavy bank of
dark clouds gathered near the hori-
zOn p~resaging another cooling thun-
der shower. Near sunrise this morn
i'm the mercury marked 79', and
du, ingthe coolest hours of the morn
ing it dropped to 75'.
Though at present mainly confined
to the Clay street and Jones avenue
neighborhoOds the fever is gradually
spreading to all parts of the city.
Scattering cases continue to appear in
unexpected spots.
Several physicians report the cases
under their immediate observation as
of an unusually mild type, and some
decline to term it yellow fever. They
go so far as to say that the recent
excitement and departure of the peo-
pie was entirely unnecessary and UNI
called for. Other physicians say that
some cases under their treatment are
OF a very virulent and obstinate char
acter, while Others are exceedingly
mild.
