EFFECT OF THE WARM WEATHER.
The warm weather of the past few days

temperature is lowering and a cool wind
is blowing, and the Indications are that
colder weather is approaching Editor r.

with yellow fever. Three were taken down

quite sick ,snone are dangerously so. One
Of the little boys, Rufus, is having
his second attack. Mr.. Russell had the
fever in September, but his wife
has thus far escaped. The, parents and

another of them have been sick since early
in September.

No less than u dozen husbands have told the

Two thousand and thirty dollars was re-
ceived to-day by the Citizens Sanitary As
ISOLATION.
Yellow fever is forgotten in the wild de-
lIrium of election excitement. Big crowds
assemble every night i'll the streets to see
the returns displayed by the stereopticou,
but the crowds are dark hued mostly, and
they frantically cheer at everything. The
returns from the state are still only partial
but enough are i'll to prove that the general
results will not be changed. Ex-Unted
States Treasurer Gen. +. F. Spinner, who is
living at Pablo, received a telegram of con-
graduation last night. and the writer said
that the boys up there missed him.
