nouncement of the ninth case Of yell

tined the inmates and took all neces-
sary steps to prevent the spread Of the
disease. This Is the first case reported
up town, all other cases being In the
lower section, and in this instance. as
in all others, the origin of the case has
been traced to Ocean Springs.
Helena, Ark. has set pace which
all river towns are likely to follow, and
which will probably effect a suspension
of river traffic until the present scare
dies out. Yesterday the board OF health
of that city decided that no boat from
south Of Vicksburg should be allowed
to land at that port. Monroe has also
declared a rigid quarantine against
this city, and all trains are being thor
oughly searched.
Atlanta promises to be the refuge
