board OF health met Wednesday night
DIR. Olliphant had no additional cases

CURED IN New Orleans, and was able &c
say that the local situation had vastly
improved, and that there were no pres

the death OF the Gelpi child. New Or

cases of fever without result. Now they
are ready to render any assistance in
their power 10 the government and 10
the Mississippi authorities in oottling
up whatever fever exists IN Ocean
Springs and Biloxi.
Deep interest has naturally been felt
here in the outcome Of the examination
Of DR.. Guiteras, who arrived at Ocean
Springs Wednesday morning. On his
arrival in Ocean Springs DR.. Guitcraa

respondent wired 10 the city that he

his examination, had not been entirely
convinced that any yellow fever has eN-

seems TO be determined that no mor'
sickness of any kind shall be imported
within its borders. The cases are very
rare wherein the gauntlet has been run

S. NJ. Gardner was in town Saturday
and incidentally talked politics little
Mr.. Gardner made good campaign con-
sidering the conditions surrounding it.
Mr.. Gardner is a man of convictions and
most loyal and patriotic republican,
He has always labored industriously for
the success of the party ticket in former
years, because he thought republican
success meant the greatest good to the
greatest number Of people. So it is a
little hard for him rs we'll rs for other
good republicans to see how some who
profess to be republicans should have
opposed the ticket. MIR. Gardner ex-
pressed thanks to those who aided him
in the race and sincerely regrets his
defeat for the sake Of his party more
than for personal reasons. His conf
dence in the principles of the party and
IN the ability of the party itself'to carry
out those principles, is rs firm as it ever
was. In other words he is as good a
republican as he ever was or even better,
if possible, than ever before.

Mistaken Identity.

IA peculiar case is reported from the
south part of the county which involves
some points of law of general interest.
In 1890 MAIDS Petersen, of this county
borrowed $4,000 of an Atlantic bank
giving his neighbor, Neils Hansen, as
security. After while both these men
moved west, neglecting to settle with the
bank. The bank in due time in trying
to make it's collection, finding Mr.. Peder-
sen had gone and finding Neils Hansen
in the neighborhood, and supposing he
waa the man who signed as security,
notified him to pay. This Mr.. Hansen
reported to the bank explaining there
were two Neils Hansens, that he was not
the Neils Hansen who signed the note,
and proving this by his Signature. The
bank president then assured him he
would have no further trouble about the
matter. Later the bank in collecting,
however, put the case in court and Mr..
Hansen was notified to appear. This he
did not do, relying on what the bank had
told him. In court judgment was OBJ
tanned against him for $500 and his land
is advertised for sale. He evidently
made a mistake by not appearing and
defending then. fHr injunction is asked
