NO YELLOW FEVER In SCRANTON,

NS AahAS " aAt AN
Since the last issue Of the DEMO
cRAT-STAR there has been no material
change In the health conditions Of
Scranton. AS we stated last week, II Is
our opinion that there Is not now. MOI
has there been a S OF genuine yell
low fever in this town. We admit
that there are Il good many cases OF
denguc and bilious fever, but not more
than we have every fall, and the type
of fever is very mild, yielding readily
TO treatment. Not IA single death has
occurred from any disease up to this
time, and all the cases under treat
mcnt at present are doing well.
DR.. w. A. Cox informs us that he
has discharged several OF his patients,
who were under his treatment last
week, hut has yet under his care about
eight patients with bilious'remittcnt
Herewith not even Il SUSPICIOUS
case OF yellow fever; and still CON
tends that there was no yellow fever
among all the cases he has treated.
Old yellow fever nurses Of New Or
leans and Of this place declare the
same thing, aud say it is not YELLOW
FEVER. In spite OF this Overwhel'
ming testimony those young sO-callcd
experts have the audacity to declare
the prevailing sickness on the coast
to be yellow fever.
Why? Hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars appropriated for quarantine
purposes, tempt them.
Unfortunately, our neighborint
town, Ocean Springs, had an unusual
number Of fever cases Of a mild form
and was visited by the doctors OF tn
New Orleans board OF health, VIII
were honest enough TO pronounce !
simply a mild type of dcngue feveI
On their return home they were vi
braided for their want Of considers
ton for the welfare of the profession
and were induced to make anOthe
visit to the beautiful seashore resort
and then and there declared the sicl
ness to be yellow fever. After the d.
@claration was made New Orleans, B
loxi, Scranton and Mobile, the cite
on the east and west that have bee
in intimate connection with Occa
Springs, must also have a few cast
, to carry out the scheme 20 ultima1
success. The scheme has worked, hui
dreds Of inspectors, detention can
officers, guards, etc, are emylOye'
and the pittance they receive will
S a thousand times Oyerbalanced by Il
! great loss inflicted to commerce al
the people by the INFAMOUS sCHEM
. The schemers are nov frightene
. and are doing all they can to rene,
matters, but we are afraid it Is t
late.
We believe it is a gigantic scher
to swindle the United States COVER
A ment and charitable people.

Obituary.

Eddy-On Monday morning, Feb. y,
Mrs. Hannah Eddy, after long and
well spent life, past silently into the
realms of eternal rest, aged so years, Z
months and s days. Mrs. Eddy was
born in Grafton, N. H., in 1916, and
came to what is now known as Kenosha
county with her husband Willard Eddy
and FIVE children from Erie county, N.
Y, in 1843 with team and wagon,
being on the road twenty -four days,
locating on the farm in Wheatland,
where she lived long and peaceful
life. Her husband died in l847, leav-
ing the deceased to take care of herself
and six small children. The deceased
worked hard and took care of the chill
dren until old enough to care for them
selves. The deceased connected her
self with the Free Will Baptist church
of Wheatland in the early sixties, of
which faith she remained consistent
member until death. Her immediate
sickness of several months she did not
seem to suffer much pain, but seemed
to get weaker until the last. Deceased
leaves surviving her one son and two
daughters, viz: Ozro w. Eddy, of
Wheatland; Mrs. Alma Hubbard, Of
Reading, Kan, and Mrs. Ann Turner,
of New London, Wis. The funeral was
held from her late residence last Wed
nesday forenoon at 10 o'clock. Rev.
Davidson, of Salem, officiating.

PLEASANT PRAIRIE.

Since Lemuel Hill and family, who
have long been residents in this Vicin-
ity and who are highly esteemed by all
that know them, are about to remove
to Waukegan, H., to make their home
the Aid society of the M. E. church of
this place established themselves at
the home of Mr. Hill on Feb. %, with
many packages of dainties, such as
pies and cakes and too many other
goodies" to mention. These were
richly prepared by thes ladies for a
farewell festival. A feast indeed it
was. It never rains but it pourso
was literally carried outLby the looks
of the daintily decked tables. Some
of the participants of these bounties
were the following: hTr. and Mrs. r. n.
Waldo, Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Barter,
Mrs. Leiber, Mrs. Ell. A. King, Mrs. 1.
l.. Carpenter, Mrs. I. A. Yates, Mrs.
M. b. Ford, Mrs. r.. S. Houston, Mrs.
Lizzie Houston, the Misses Hubbard,
Evans, Schmutz, and Frank Waldo.
Owing to an unavoidable circumstance
Rev. and Mrs. Robinson. much to the
regret of the society, could not be with
this happy party. Part of the afte,
noon was devoted to the household
chats and music. Instrumental and
vocal music by Miss Hubbard and
several songs by the society were very
appropriate on this occasion. At the
close IF thn dinner hOnr Albert BARTER
made short speech after which the
society presented to the family a gift
of beautiful lamp as a token of re-
membrance. After many we'll wishes
and hearty hand shakes, the company
left for their several homes.
