EreSh-Air Children.

Tuesday forty-eight little children
from Baltimore, sent out by the Fresh
Air Society of that city, arrived at
Kearneysville, where they were met
by the farmers Of that vicinity and the
Leetown neighborhood who had agreed
to give them country pleasures for a
week or two. The little tots-bOys
and girls together-were in a high
state of pleasurable excitement, and
had their bundles and boxes with
them. Rev. w. R. D. Moncure, the
good pastor of the Leetown Baptist
Church, was instrumental In finding
homes for the children, whose fare was
paid by the society named above. The
society makes another appeal in the
REGISTER this week for this most
kindly charity. Who will organize a
movement here?
The same day twenty children were
received at Shenandoah Junction and
twelve at Vanclevesville, making a
total of eighty.

Wheat Going Up.

There has been a gratifying advance
in the price of wheat this week, and
today our local dealers are offering IS
cents. There was a jump of 81 cents
a bushel on Monday, reaching SO cents
on the Baltimore markets. Tuesday
it lost a cent and a-half, but yesterday
it recovered the loss, closing at So
cents for spot wheat. The advance is
apparently on solid basis. Expert
enced grain men sum up the whole
situation as one of notable improve
ment in the markets of the world. Ca
bles from the other side are of ia
vorable tone. From France came the
message to a prominent firm that
threshing was disappointing. Inqui-
ries for wheat to be sent to the Argen-
tine Republic have been received by
leading exporters,and foreign inquiries
come from many parts ofthe old world
A few of our farmers have sold al
ready at prices ranging near 60 cents,
and it is needless to say that they re-
alize they were too hasty. We call
attention to the able article on the
wheat question by DR.. Ghiselin in an
other column, whose views coincide
with our own. There can be no ques-
ton that the farmers have the power
to force the price up if they will bat
hold their crops awhile, and the re-
ports from the grain centers that wheat
is coming in. slowly looks as if they
have their eyes open.

A negro by the name of Henry Fife
was arrested last week in Richmond
for an attempted criminal assault upon
a young lady, Miss Russell, while
walking with two lady companions on
the tracks of a railroad near that city.
After Flies arrest it was discovered
that this was his second attempt of a
similar character on that day, he
having knocked down married wo-
man, Mrs. Marks, but was frightened
off by her screams before accomplish
ing his purpose. Both of the ladies
identified the brute, after his arrest,
as the person who assailed them. He
was promptly indicted, and Monday
be was tried, found guilty and SEN
fenced to be hanged August Goth. 1t
is such prompt enforcement of the laws
that will go a long way towards doing
away with lynchings.

There were no new cases reported at
Ocean Springs up to noon, but the wealth
er was heavy and sultry and one of the
patients was not expected to live. She
Is Miss Laura Atkins.
Charles Zeigler, son of prominent New
Orleans people, was among those stricken
yesterday at Ocean Springs, but his con-
dition is not considered serious. When
the fever had been declared epidemic
and yellow fever he closed himself up
in his home and did not venture forth,
excepting to go to the detention camp
as soon as it was ready. Isolation, how
ever, did not prevent the germs from
entering his home. The work of the
New Orleans sanitary forces continues
undated today and the officers employed
themselves in hunting UP many of the
rookeres where people are closely
crowded in illy-ventilated homes and
where they live in filth. Many of these
places were subjected to complete disin-
lection and cleaning. The weather today
has been warm and threatening.

at Cairo.

Memphis. Sept. ia special to the
Commercial-A Appeal from Cairo, ILL.,,
says:
DR.. Guiteras, the yellow fever ex-
pert, who arrived here from Mobile at
noon. has pronounced the two suspicious
cases at the marine hospital to be yell
low fever of q mild form. Owing to the
prompt measures taken there is no dan
ger of its spreading. The hospital Is
thoroughly guarded. There are several
cases of sickness on the government
dredge boat Alpha, lying at East Cairo;
KY, and Drs. Guiteras and Egan VIII
investigate them tomorrow. One or the
men in the hospital came from this boat
and the other from Point Pleasant;
eighty-five miles below here. The board
of health has instituted strict quar-
antine against East Cairo. Tonight, Dr.
Egan, secretary of the board, issued an
order addressed to every railway enter
ing the state from the south. institutlng
quarantine against the states! OF Ala
hama. Louisiana and Mississippi. For
all that portion of the state south OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern
Railway, Chicago excepted. Will be re-
uuired to show a clean bill OF health.
There is no excitement here, the people
feeling confident that the corps or the
board of health physicians are masters
of the situation.

SCORING DIR. SWEARINGEN.
He Was Right in 1896, md He May
he Right Now.

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 19.-(Special.)-
The action of State Health Officer Or.
Swearingen in calling upon Mayor Rice
of Houston to abate the quarantine reg
ulations of that city, and his statement
that municipal guarantees are under MS
jurisdiction was the subject of much COM
ment here today, particularly i'll view
of the fact that Galveston maintains Il
quarantine against goods shipped from
Algiers. La, while the state authorities
admit them to the state. Health Officer
Fisher, when asked today what he
thought of the matter, said that in his
opinion he thought the state authorities
had no right to interfere with the quar-
antine regulations of chartered cities,
when such regulations are not antago-
nistic to the regulations made by the
state. and when, if more rigid, it is APP
parent that they are made so solely Tor
the protection of the city and not for the
purpose of gaining commercial advantage.
The action of the state health officer
recalls an incident which occurred here
in November, 1895. The British steam
ship Helen came here from Para, Brazil,
without clean bill of health, in bad san
itary condition and with sick sailors
aboard. She was delayed in quarantine,
DR., Blunt. the local quarantine officer,
Dr. Magrudcr, United States marine. sur
geon, and DIR. Fisher city health physi-
clan regarded the cases as suspicious;
Later, DR.. Swearingen came here and
pronounced the cases not yellow fever
and ordered the ship released. He gave
it as his opinion that the cases were
simply continued fever, caused by bad
sanitary conditions. DR.. Fisher was I'M
willing to let the ship come to the
var roads. Quite controversy arose
as to the right of the city in the matter,
and City Attorney Smith was called upon
for an opinion. He cited the charter
powers of the city at length, and summed
up his opinion in the statement that the
city had right to make and enforce
quarantine regulations more rigid than
those of the state. but would not have
the right to enforce regulations less rigid.
The ship lay in the outer harbor. for
twenty-five days and was then permitted
to come to the wharves. Dr.. Fisher and
Mayor Fly being then satisfied that dan
ger had passed
The Santa Fe Railroad has announced
the postponcment of its big excursion for
Galveston, advertised for next Saturday.
Reports up to last Saturday indicated
that about 1000 people wanted to come
here, but there are so many quarantine
inspections to be gone through and new
quarantine lines are being established
daily that the management concluded il
would be unjust to their patrons to sub
jcct them to so many delays
Very few people are travelling on south
Texas railroads just now, the uncertaint,
of quarantine regulations which may be
announced causing people to remain al
home. The result is that the trains are
running light, and it is probable that the
service on some of the lines will be re-
duced by taking off part of the trains
| in day or two.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1897-09-23

DR.. Wyman thinks the system of inspec-
ton Will be pretty thoroughly organized.
Past Assistant Surgeon Mcintosh, Or
dered from the marine hospital at Louis
vile, has reported his arrival at Mem
phis to relieve Past Assistant Surgeon
Young, who Is detailed to river inspec-
ton service at that point Past Assist
ant Geddings is at Jackson. Miss, to
confer with DR.. Hunter of the state
board of health, relative to the estab-
lishment of a detention camp near Ed
wards or Jackson.
Surgeon White, at Camp Fontainbleau,
reports that he has admitted during the
past six days thirteen persons and today
forty-two persons, and some are en-
pected from Mobile tomorrow. The
camp Is laid out with 200 tents and 100
more can be added. Each tent holds
four or five In pinch. -Four Scranton
people were today discharged from the
camp by consent of DR.. Kelly. The ar
rival of about seventy-ive refugees at
Atlanta yesterday was reported by Sur
geon Sawtelle. There was one sus-
pcious case slightly i'll, which will be
detained ut the detention camp for ten
days.
Surgeon Carter telegraphs from Mem
phis that Young. with the concurrence
of the state board of health, will place
inspectors on the north ends or the
lines from Mississippi to meet the ma
rine hospital inspectors from New Or
leans.
From Nashville DR.. Wyman received
word that the Tennessee state board
of health has ordered quarantine (Which
includes all persons and baggage) against
the entire state of Mississippi
The war department has in contem-
plation the transfer of the garrison from
Barrancas, Fla, to Chickamauga. where
the troops will go into camp. Surgeon
General Wyman will give directions to
facilitate the passage of the soldiers
through the various quarantined points.
1t Is also probable that the old Mount
Vernon barracks, five miles north of Mo-
bile, will be converted into detention
camp for persons leaving the city. Sur
geon Glennan recommends that the gov
ernment purchase full camp outfit with
accommodations for 25O persons as
first installment.

The Sunday calm was intensified today,
all traffic being suspended and the

of worshippers, usually the distinctive
feature of the day. Not only have
many people gone away, but those re-

prcmaturely yesterday and the Sunday
