LOWER TEMPERATURE
Has a Marked Effect on the Yellow Fever
at New Orleans.


NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 22.-The local
fever situation was greatly improved
Tuesday morning by materially low
er temperature, the thermometer at
o'clock Tuesday being g. Incubation
of yellow fever germs requires a sus-
tanned Fahrenheit temperature of 20
and if the present cool spell continues,
conditions promise steadily to grow
better. While IS cases were reported
Monday, at least nine were properly to
be accredited to Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, and only one of these cases
was of anything but a mild type, the
exception being an unacclimated
stranger. There have been no new
cases reported Tuesday morning and
no deaths.
Dr. Touatre, an eminent and expert
enced yellow fever physician and a
member of the board of experts, says
in an interview that the records since
1858 show that yellow fever has never
been declared epidemic in any year
after its appearance here inside of two
or three months. That was the case
in 1853, SO, '67 and rs. The history
of the epidemics of the last half
century prove that all epidemics
waned with the first cold of Oc-
! tober, disappearing almost entirely
| in November. If we add month and
half more to the period of incubation
| for infectious foci to establish them
selves, we are brought almost to the
end of October to have an epidemic. An
epidemic at that late date is out of the
question. Dr. Touatre produces num-
Der of instances where fever broke out
in August, September and October,
only to be quickly stamped out by the
frost before it had assumed the proper
tions of an epidemic.
EDWARDS, Miss, Sept. 22.-New cases
of yellow fever since last report are as
follows: Mrs. Greaves, ST., and George
Elliott, both white, and three or four
Negroes, names unknown. Col r. r.
Robb died Tuesday morning at o'clock
of yellow fever. He lived five miles in
the country. He was buried at noon
and the hearse fumigated at once.
Mrs. Henry 10 reported not doing well.
Mrs. Greaves, ST., mother of Mrs. Hen
ry, was taken with the fever Monday
and is quite sick. All other cases re-
ported as doing well.
New ORLEANS, Sept. 22.-There were
nine cases of yellow fever reported to
the board of health Tuesday afternoon
: at o'clock when the days work of the
physicians ended There were, how.
ever, no deaths recorded and the doc
: tors all agreed Tuesday evening that
the situation was steadily improving.
The fever at present instead of devel-
oping into malignant type, is as mild
. if it is not milder, than when it first
, appeared here, as witness 81 cases in
q two days without single death.

Soper, according 10 hts own story,
came away from Missouri in 1891, and
was over in Washington two months.
He then came TO Oregon, and lived In
the Willamette valley, above Oregon
City, for year and a half. He then
went to Portland, he says, and lived
there four years, being known as Sandy

railroad yards. He was married In
Portland, and his wife is there now,

six years, locating his man in Portland
