TRocHA NORTH OF MOBILE.
Citizens Determined That Quarantine
Shall Be Respected.

Mobile, Ala, Sept. 21.-There has
been an accumulation of cases today.
The president of the board of health
states that, had the physicians recog-
nized and reported promptly the sus-
picious cases, many Of these cases
would have been announced several
days ago. The number announced to-
day is II, making Is in all SO far an
nounced, of which number three have
died, two of which were previously re-
ported, and one was today discharged.
Three suspicious cases are under sur
veilance.
Frank Donaldson, one Of the days
new cases, died tonight. c. L. Swayzle,
the Associated Press operator at the
Register office, was taken sick tonight.
There has been quarantine line
drawn from Chesabogue creek, north OF
Mobile, some five miles northwesterly
to the Mississippi, to form an absolute
embargo against Mobilians penetrating
into the interior of Alabama. This
trocha is guarded continuously.
Some 200 people from this city start
ed out into the country this morning,
intending to take refuge at farms from
10 to Is miles out. They encountered
the guards at the trocha and were
stopped there At O'Clock most of
the immigrants were still there in the
open air, fearing to return to the city
and not able to go further.
The people here are still in a panic,
and leaving when they'can.

Socorro, New Mexico, Sept. IL, 1897.
We do not claim any boom for CEN
raj New Mexico, but our hard times
are over. Wool has ready sale and
sheep are back at the figures of 1892,
md are going up. Cattle are bringing
better price than for years past-the
luty on hides helped do this. In this
county the Graphic smelter is running
ill time. also the mine, making 10
;ons bullion every "a hours. There is
market at good prices for every pound
# lead ore that can be mined. In the
Magdalenes gold and silver camp, the
Con 6dence mill and mine started up in
July as also did the Maud S. mill, each
IN full time. At Cenillos new smell
ter is being built to treat lead ores
from the Magdalenes. On the eastern
slopes of the Magdalene mountains I
think every miner is employed develop
ing for gold. Wheat is high and COM
mands ready sale. There is no boom,
but there is a return of confidence, and
men are at work, who for the past four
years have not known what was going
to happen next. One other thing is
noticeable. You miss the train loads
of Mexican cattle and Mexican lead ore
that has been going to the Eastern mar
kets for the past three or four years.

Two Deaths in New Orleans.

New Orleans, Sept. 2l.-A trifng
improvement in the fever situation
marked the close of the days work on
the board of health. There were two
deaths today, as against one yesterday,
but there were fewer new cases. At 6
O'Clock this evening there were still two
cases under investigation by the experts.
OF the cases investigated today, four
were declared by the experts to be yell
low fever, and, as usual, they were
widely scattered. This is the record:
Deaths-E Harmon and Santa Graf
fato.
New cases-Marie Dubois, Rafael

CHER.
AS a general rule, the patients who
are suffering with yellow fever are re-
ported tonight to be improving, with
the exception of DR.. Lowell, whose con-
dition is not considered satisfactory.
There have been total of 80 cases
here, and the death rate has not
reached 10 per cent, thus showing the
mildness of the type OF the fever now
prevailing.
Marion Dowden, a member of the
Ouachita guards, who were guarding
the city, was accidentally shot this
morning at Monroe by Henry McCor-
mick, fellow member, and it is not
thought that he can recover.

Cotton, CAL, Aug. %, 1897.-The
Portland Cement works, cap
ital about $3.50, 900, has opened for
business. Forty men are now en-
ployed. An increase of hands is an
nounced. All material except petrol
cum and few minor ingredients are
obtained here. Labor has advanced to
wages formerly paid, $1.75. The South
arn Pacific and the Santa Fe both re-
port increase Of freight, local and
through. Large areas were set out in
:itruAfruits. Crops generally are album
liant, and every available man is in
occupation. Perhaps nothing is more
encouraging to prove. the confidence
than the irrigation enterprises that are
being undertaken, requiring vast CAPT.
tai to complete and extensive patronage
over many acres of land and long
time to reward the outlay. These,
with personal enterprise, show corfi-
dence and prosperity.

McConnellsville, o., Sept. 10, 1897.
This county is almost purely an agri-
cultural one. There is only one fac
tory. The farmers are greatly en-
couraged over the increase in price OF
wheat, wool, etc., etc. The factory
mentioned has in the past few weeks re-
ceived such largely increased orders as
to greatly encourage everyone and OF
course necessitate the employment of a
larger nunber of hands.

COMING OUR WAY

The efforts put forth to have Wichita
mail transported over the Rock Island
and Missouri Pacific railroads from Kan
sas City has become a reality. All Kan
sas City mail deposited in the Kansas
City Office before S:45 D. m. will be des-
patched via these two roads. But we are
still confronted with the fact that the
Kansas City postmaster has it within
his power to hold mail until after that
hour and stamp il after S:45. But the
business letters and bankers mail every
one knows is mailed early in the evening
and will reach the city in due time, but
should any Of our business men receive
letters on the late mail bearing the date
OF S:45, send it in to the superintendent
OF mails Mr.. Reed, in the government
building in this city, whose duty it will
De to take it up and see that lie is rem
edied. And should you receive mail that
you have reason TO believe has been held
over for the o'clock or later stamp, a
letter of inquiry will disclose it, and
what will be better than all, will be for
business men to ask their correspondents
to deposit their mail early in the even
ing and the trouble will be ended in the
event thar they comply with your re-
quest. Continue to examine your dates
until the work is entirely and completely
accomplished.

Jerry Simpson is fast getting where
the ancient and famous Woodbine gets
curve on itself. Brown of Pratt and
Brown of Kingman are both after him
and Judge G. w. Mckay has gone for
the sockless statesman's scalp in way
that is calculated TO do him UP brown.
And when the sttement is made that
jerry is 10 be done up brown, the es-
pecial mint involved refers particularly
TO Brown Of Pratt, whose term in the
state legislature was simply Brown S
preliminary campaign for the nOmina-
ton to congress.
Mckay is after Simpson because ne
doesn't think Simpson is on the square.
Brown Of Kingman is after him because
Simpson let Brown out of his deal for
state printer. Brown of Pratt is after
Simpsons place as much as he is after
Simpson. But Baroer county has real
grievance and it is suggested in this let
ter from j. W. Pote5, VINO lives at Jerry
Simpsons home Mr.. Potes says:
My opinion is that Mr.. Simpson did
not support the Populist ticket in Far
Der county this fall. From what / have
learned ana what 1 nave observed, 1
feel very sure that the third ticket was
put in noni9ation through his influence.
] know that mis- most enthusiastic sup
porters in the county advised this
course. Mr.. Simpson was requested to
assist US in the county this fall. but re-
fused to do so. / have it from a leading
Democrat in this county that Mr.. Simp-
son and his friends advised the defeat
Of the Populist ticket and 1 know that
many Populists who pride themselves on
being Simpson men knitted candidates
on our ticket. While I have no positive
proof that Mr.. Simpson did not vote the
Populst ticket, 1 am satisfied it is a
fact. His political hackers here do not
claim that he did anything for the ticket
and 1t is folly for foreigners TO make
that contention.
81 am Populist. one OF the original
Alliance men in this county and am not
ashamed Of it. But 1 am a worshiper
of no man, even though he happens 20
belong to my party. There are many
things in Mr.. Simpsons public record
which I cannot indorse and each day
seems to add to his political sins. 1
ann convinced that his only aim in poll
tics IS his own advancement, with but
little, if any, regard for the principles
of the Peoples party, and mis- selfshness
and indifference in our local campaign
has strengthened that conviction. I re-
greet that I must speak thus of man
for whose success in politics I have done
much in previous years, out could say
nothing else and speak the truth
Simpson had mighty good personal
reason for playing the Indifferent racket.
The Popuhsts of Barber county OF the
vulgar lire boss, and they had COM
menced to let MIN get in the rear a cog
at a time. Simpson couldn't stand that,
50 he let the ticket go by default, which
was very easy thing to do with the
Populist party this year.
Simpsons only hope is IN his predic
ton Of a panic. IF that comes true he
ts safe for a denomination. The panic
without the prediction would have done
Simpson no good.

Whether the earthquake caused it or
