three miles up, there is but a strip of sand
about 80 rods wide and feet above the
water level and he thinks it possible the

through one or the other of these points.

showed every sign of recovering. Tuesday
night he began suddenly to sink, and be-
tween the hours of II and 10, breathed his

pears before the county commissioners and
tells gloomy tales about the spread Of
the epidemic and the destitution of
the poor people of Enterprise, and
asks for $1,000 for sanitary work and
quarantine purposes. Appeals for aid are
also still sent out by the board for help to
the Jacksonville committee and to various
cities throughout the country. The board
of health secures 81, 900 from the commits
sioners, making a total of nearly 81, 900 ap-
propriated by them. The next thing we
hear after this is that the board of health
