masters are being appointed daily. OF
these one-third are to fill vacancies; an
other third are appointed in the places Of
postmasters removed for cause; the other

the pleasure OF the postmaster general, IL

CALDWELL, KS, April 1.-THE Okla
homa excitement was at its height here To-
day. Ii was almost impossible TO get

II Is fertile rolling prairie. The cattle

announcement by Capt Hayes, who Is

thought q large majority of the boomers
will take advantage OF the opportunity and
midnight tomorrow will witness grand
rush into the strip. The campers realized
that all cannot cross the border nj the same
place, and there will be a scattering along
the border for miles. A terrible wind and

DR.. Jerme Cochran, the state
health officer of Alabama, after al
extended investigation tour
through South Florida and Ha-
vana, has just returned. DR.. Coch
ran was asked what be though
about the danger of an outbreak
of yellow fever this summer, he
said:
81 am entirely satisfied that there
has been no yellow fever IN Florida
except the Que solitary case at San.
ford, since last January. There
has been very general feeling of
apprehension among the health al
thorities OF the southern states
that yellow fever might have lived
through the mild winter in Florida
and might break out afresh during
this summer 1t is impossible to
make any confident prediction, but
| am inclined TO believe that there
will not be any fresh outbreak in
Florida this year unless there is a
fresh importation of the disease"

expressing the unqualified opinion
that he Is the ablest man yet talked

to rebuke the Times as follows:

this county, was the fortunate holder OF
one-twentieth Of ticket No 90, 800 which
drew the second capital prize of 500, 900
in the Louisiana State Lottery Drawing
on April 18th last. This entitled Mr..
Topp to $500 which was promptly
paid on presentation Of his ticket. Mr..
Topp has held tickets in drawings on
several other occasions and at different
times drew small sums--enough to
about cover his expenses. On this oc-
casion he drew handsome sum--an
amount that gives him good start and
makes him independent. lie is a clever
gentleman and his many friends con-
graduate him on his good luck. Our
Duck Hill friends have always been
quite lucky in the drawings of the Lou
isiana State Lottery. Last fall Mr.. Dink
Butt drew $500, and other parties have
drawn small sums ranging from S. to
SIS. These facts inspire great deal'ot
confidence In the fsirness of the draw
ings. Most of the tickets procured were
purchased direct from M. A. Dauphin,
