MEAT HIGHER ON THE COAST
Chicago's "Big Four" Have Been Buying
Stock Cattle on the SIy

San Francisco, Sept. THE Call says
tina meat, particularly lamb and veal,
is going to be higher in California dur
ing the next six months than it has been
for several years past, as the result Of
operations Of the Big Four Messrs
Morris, Swift, Armour and Cudahy, Of
Chicago Realizing some time ago that
feed would be abundant this season these
men began purchasing lambs, calves and
cattle in large numbers and shipping
them east 10 fatten. They drew largely
and quietly on the vast herds Of Nevada.
Arizona and Oregon and before local
wholesalers knew il, had snapped up
nearly everything in sight. An ad-
vance in price has already been made
and now Miller and Lux. and the West
ern Meat company, the two largest coast
dealers, are working hard to procure a
sufficient supply for their trade.

GOLD COIN BURIED IN MEXICO
Komantic Story of Money Which Is Soon to
be Recovered.

New York, Sept. IA hundred and
out with the pick-that is what Uncle
| Sam has at this moment, though he doe:
not know himself of his hidden treasure
But it is there-cold, yellow, glitterine
| coin, buried for years beneath the dirt
and mould Of Mexico, and traced by the
| tireless patience Of the man who is soon
| to get out on mis- voyage to return with
| this fortune There will be no dangers
to overcome, such as struggle with cold
and famine, but very quietly and pleas
antly he will dig up the boxes in which
lie the riches that will make him a veal
thy man for life.
The authority for this statement is
Captain Alfred May, who is at present
in this city. Captain May asserted that
he has located the place where the treas
ure was buried, and that as soon as he
can leave business he will set out and
procure the wealth which will be the re-
suit of many months of patient search.
The captain is German, a sea captain,
and was one Of the 'forty-niners.
According to Captain May, the way he
came TO get onto the track OF the money
was this: He met here in 1898 an old
man from Illinois, Hiram Pennoyer, who
told him that his son was married to the
daughter of an old veteran Of the Mexi-
can war, living in Chicago, This veter-
an told Pennoyer that while he was on
a campaign in Mexico in 1S47 he was
present when the money boxes belong
~, ~
OF the wagon by the breaking of S@
wheel, and that the coin had been buried
by a companion OF his. This companion,
a sergeant, was killed in a fight a few
days after burying the money, and the
old veteran said nothing about il to his
superior officers, the breaking down OF
the wagon while crossing a river during
a storm being sufficient excuse for the
loss
After the war closed the veteran went
to California. where he was paid off, and
then returned 10 his wife in Chicago. On
account of his broken health the woman
would not LEI him return. 50 the man
waited for son TO grow large enough
10 go after the gold. On the sons at
tanning manhood the old father fitted
him out and sent him on the journey. but
the lad went astray. and. spending ali
the money turned into a loafer. On the
marriage of the daughter OF the veteran
with the son OF Pennoyer, the veteran
told Pennoyer the whole history OF the
affair and gave him plan OF the spot
where the gold was buried, as we'll as full
directions how TO locate the place
When Pennoyer told May the story
May offered 70 go and get the money for
a share in the result. So. equipped with
the map and full history Of the event, he
reached Vera Cruz and set out on his
journey toward the direction % Jalapa.
He <ound that the description given by
Pennoyer was correct in the main. but
there was slight error in the bearings
that at first puzzled him greatly. Pen

ing OF a landmark. but the general idea

NEEDN'T BE SCARED
YELLOW FEVER HAS NO CHANCE IN
WICHITA.
Cities Throus bout the Country are Scared
Over the Appearance OF Yellow Fever
in ssissippi-There lie Not One Chance
in Million of 1t Getting to This City
Even Though 1t becomes Prevalent
The Disease Does Not Flourish Over
One Thousand Feet Above the Sea Level
How to Prevent 1t.

The appearance Of the yellow fever in
Mississippi has scared the people
throughout the United States. At Aus
tin, Texas, the officials have taken &C
tive means to prevent the disease from
entering their city. An Eagle reporter
yesterday called on Drs. Purdue and
Hoffman and asked them what the prob
ability was for yellow fever reaching
this city or section of the country. DR..
Hoffman said that there were three rec
ognized areas Of Infection. The focal
zone in which the disease is never abb
sent, including Havana, Vera Cruz, Rio.
and other Spanish-American ports. The
second was the perifocal zone or regions
Of periodic epidenics, including the ports
OF the tropical Atlantic in American and
Africa. The zone OF accidental cpl
denies is between the parallels Of 45 de-
grees and So degrees south latitude. If
the temperature falls below 20 degrees
the germs are killed and the disease Of
course disappears. l. rarely happens
that there is a case of yellow fever in
latitude exceeding 1000 feet above the
sea level. Wichita being over 1900 feet
there can hardly be any danger from the
epidemic even should it become preva-
lent throughout the country. The negro
Is less susceptible 10 the disease than
white persons and people living in the
south are not as liable as those from
northern chimes. The last serious cpl
demic OF yellow fever was in 1878 when
good many people died in the south.
DR.. Purdue said that yellow fever was
strictly an infectious and not contagi-
Gus disease. a person is not liable to
be afflicted unless they are Immediately
about a patient The measures 10 be
taken, as recommended by DR.. Stern
berg, head Of the United States corps Of
physicians, is the exclusion of the exotic
germ Of the disease by sanitary super
vision. During an epidemic individuals
VINO must remain in the locality should
avoid the regions in which the disease
prevails most. They should live temper
ately. avoiding ali excuses, and should
be careful not TO get overheated, either
in the sun or by exercise. Up 10 date
there has been no cure for the disease,
although people who live in a Clearly
manner do not die in proportion as
about one to five. Closing his remarks,
the doctor said: mo, there is not one
chance in a million Of the fever coming
to Wichita"
