YELLOW FEVER SCARE.


New ORLEANS, Oct. 12.-From tne

low fever situation. The board OF
health is daily demonstratin thai WIN
a fair show it is possible for modern
science to restrict and stamp out the
disease. But the people who must
suffer from strict application OF seen

that the pathway of the board OF
health is beset with difficulties. II
there were strict compliance with the
health laws; if prompt report was
made of cases, the fever germs would
be quickly wiped out But it begins
to look now as if from thirty to forty
eases and from four to six deaths will
be daily recorded until Jack Frost
puts in an appearance.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-THE yellow
fever situation shows no decline in the
number of cases reported. The death
column is about normal. There mas
been no increase in the malignancy'
but existing conditions are not favor
able for the eradication of the disease.
The weather is warm and sultry and
unusual for the season, and if it keeps
on there will be little improvement
for the time being.

SLAYER Of Andrew Nelson In Fayette Coun-
ty Given q New Trial.
DIES MONIES, Oct. 13.-The supreme
conrt has reversed the district court
in the case of Frank Dorland, convict
ed in Fayette county, for the crime OF
manslaughter Dorland gets new
trial. Dorland and Willie Smith were
both indicted for murder of the first
degree and separate trials were grant
ed them. They were accused OF kill
ing IAndrew Nelson while out on
drunken carouse. The testimony
showed conclusively that the death OF
Nelson Was caused by knife cuts by
Smith while Nelson was INDUCING
only in violent blows with his fists.
In view of this showing verdict Oh
manslaughter only was given. The
district court, however, did not take
into consideration the fact that the
defendant was intoxicated at the time
he committed the crime and the SUI
premc court holds that the trial court
erred In not allowing the question to
be considered in determining the
crime Of manslaughter. Further the
supreme court holds that no element
of intent was proven against the de-
PENDANT and without that he could noI
have been convicted.

LANSING, Mich, Oct. 10.-Michigan's
wheat crop this year will amount to
"a 5.O07 bushels, or an average OF
1916 bushels an acre. This statement
was given ont by the secretary OF
state, and is based on the results OF
the dressings from 10000 acres,
100, goo OF which are in the section
where three-fourths of the crop is
raised. The extreme drought renders
1t probable that much of the wheat
sown thus far this fall will not grow,
the drought being greater than that of
any previous year. 1t is estimated
that oats will yield 1910 bushels,
barley Ellis bushels, and corn Ga
bushels an acre, while potatoes will be
81 per cent, beans So per cent, winter
apples IS per cent, and late peaches II
