Montgomery, Oct. 23.-The local situa-
ton rs exceedingly discouraging. Thir-
teen new casss were reported today,
ten last night, ard 1t is undoubtedly true
that half dozen more would have been
reported had the attending physicians
not been prevented from attending the
meetings.
DR.. John w. Dening, one of the best
and truest men in the city, disd this af-
ternoon. He has been sick for. several
days, but his case was only reported
today.

ported by the board at o'clock this af-
ternoon:

l.. Rozier, Jr., three years old, same adj

Cleaning Up
The city is making a strenuous en-
dsavor to clean up. Chief Inspector
Noa has twelve inspectors circulating
in the residence districts and ordering
premises cleaned, fumigated, etc In the
city stables is large quantity of fumi-
gants and disinfectants which are be-
ing dispensed gratis. The fire depart
ment is flooding the streets nightly.
A Pathetic Case
A pathetic case comes from BrasseI
street. AT No. 6, in that thoroughfare.
resides Mrs. Joiner and her son and lit
tie daughter. Mrs. Joiner is almost blind.
Her son is quite i'll, and as he is the
only support, the little family are fight
ing hard battle. The nelghbors are
greatly alarmed and have not visited
them. DR.. CASTOR is the attending ply
sician. The blindness of the mother and
the inexperience of the little girl rem
ders treatment of the patient decidedly
primitive. The neighbors have called
the attention of Chief of Police Gerald
to their circums TIA noes.
The Fever Spreading
Several government fumigators ar
yived here tonight and reported for duty.
They will proceed with their work to-
morrow.
Perhaps the most alarming feature OF
the situation is that the fever has
crossed The deadline, Court street. Every
quarter OF the city is infected now, onc
case having crossed the deadlins, on
Washington street, another having
crossed 1t on Columbus and one having
found its way far over in the southeast
Nm part Of the city, on Brassell street.
other Places infected
Auburn is said to be falling into the
procession DIR. Sanders attention has
been diverted to that city by suspic-
ious case there.
Phil Gayle of this city Is reported to
be stricken at Mount Meigs. 1t is sug-
gested that irsasmuch as nobody cared
to visit Montgomery on account of the
fever, the keeping up of the local quar-
antine would be an unnecessary expense.
The city might now depend upon the
state quarantine and morey employed
for local quarantine could be used ad-
vantageously among the poor for medi-
cinas and food. Alabama has already
qEarantined against Memphis.
The Governor Upheld
