Grand Junction. Colo. Sept. 7.-rhe
seventh annual celebration OF the
Peach Day festival that has become
famous In the Grand valley. and which
has advertised this city more than any
other event, opened auspiciously this
morning. Lowering clouds threatened
for time In the early morning hours
to spoil the first day Of the festival.
hut as is usual when rain threatens
In this sunlit valley. the clouds parted
and more glorious day could not
have well been provided than this.
The arrivals have increased with ev-

head over the great Grand mesa to-
morrow 1t will see domiciled tempo

Colorado somewhere near 10000 pi.o-
pie.
The Colorado Midland band arrived
over the Midland this morning. and.
together with the Teller Institute band

The program OF the day opened with
the wet test in the iircmans tourna-
Cripple Creek second.
A ball game between Leadvillc and
Grand Junction came next and the re-
suit was a tie-l2 10 II. when dark
ness stopped the game.
Perhaps the greatest spot of attrac-
tlOn to the visiting thousands Is the
Cottonwood park. which contains the
two pavllions OF horticulture and ag-
riculturc. That such Il display can he
made in 50 few years after planting
the first orchards Is II matter of Won
dcrmcnt to all. The pavilion of horii-
culture is mass OF fruit. Peaches.
pears. grapes. apples. nectarincs and
n great variety Of other fruit makes up
the display. Every orchardist Of con
sequence In the whole valley has rep
resented his orchard with the best
products. There are grapes of every

display is equally large and represent
ntive OF the pruluc,> Of the valley In
that line. Mrs. Martha Shute. sccrc-
'ary Of the State Board of Horticul-
ture. said to the Republican man to-
day that ''the display In fruits was one
of the greatest ever given In the state.
and In regard to beauty and quality

At noon tomorrow the free distribu.

several squares In length. Mt which

New Orleans, La. Sept. 1.-THE
Louisiana State Board Of Health kept
faith with her sister bodies Of the South
and the rest of the country this after
noon. when 1t made official announce
mcnt as the result Of careful autopsy
that Raoul Gclpi. IL years of age, had
died of yellow fever. GclJi was the son
OF prominent people here and had been
spending some time at Ocean Springs,
where he was taken down with fever
and brought home here. Soon after ar
irving home, despite the b 'st Of medical
attendance. he died.
DIR. Theard. the physician In charge
immediately reported TO the Board of
Health and expressed the opinion that
the death was due TO yellow fever. This
AFTERNOON an autopsy proved that Dr.
Theard's idea OF yellow lever was cor
rect. Steps We're promptly taken to
prevent n possible spread Of the dis
ease. Az the ease was one OF importa-
ton, the doctors expressed confidence
that they would be able 10 check the
spread Of the disease.
The death OF young Gclpi naturally
caused no little excitement In the city
among the lay public. Physicians. how
ever. expressed no apprehension and
stated their belief that It WAS quite
possible TO arrest spread of the fever
The board during the day had ordered
q rigid quarantine against all points on
the Gulf coast, and had taken every
precaution to guard against the entry
Into the city OF any person from Ocean
Springs. Biloxi, or other points on the
sound which II was thought the fever
might reach.
