McEwEN CLOSES.
Link by Link He Forges the Chain Against
 Luetgert the Sausage Maker.

Chicago, Oct. 12.-Assistant States ment in the Luetgert trial today and will be followed tomorrow by Attorney Pha- len, who will make the opening address for the defense.
 MT. McEwen took up the entire day with his argument, and went over the case carefully, calling the details of the evidence for the jury and showing how one circumstance fitted into another submitted by the state finished, in his opinion a full and complete circum- stance to the chain proving that Luet- gert had murdered his wife in order that his relations with his servant girl, Mary Siemmering, might remain un- disturbed.
 Throughout the entire argument Luet- gert listened to the speech of the at- torney, who was asking for his life, with the greatest attention. He never took his eyes off MT. McEwen for more than an instant, and the heavy scowl that is habitual with him deepened as the assistant states attorney pointed out circumstance after circumstance that weighed against his innocence. It is now practically certain that all of the arguments will be finished so that the case will be given to the jury by Satur- day night at the latest.

 Dear Doctor: found yellow fever at Wagar. It has been there for several weeks, and is traeeable to Mobile. A number of persons have been affected, perhaps fifteen or twenty.
 Teh attacks have been light, so much so that doctor was not called until quite recently. Dr. Chyman, of Jackson, was called Friday or Saturday and very soon became apprehensiue.
 The patients whom I saw is one of the proprietors of the mills ther= and is very critically i'll. In fact I thought there was very little chance for his recovery, his kidneys having apparently ceased to s=crete.
