YELLOW FEVER.

CONSERVATION prevails in a portion
of the South, over this deadly and
merciless plague. The first case
seems to have come from Ocean
City, Miss, and has spread to other
towns along The coast. Some say it
is only mild form of Yellow Jack
and otherspronounce it dengue fever,
whatever that is, but the people from
their.many battles with the boss,
do not desire to renew his acquaint-
ance ir any guise. The health au.
thorities have taken hold, and the
government with its hospital marine
force and equipments, with the best
experts in the country, are on hand.
Strict quarantine has been establish
e | not only there, but in Alabama,
Texas and Florida. The science
CLEANED from the experience of the
past will be forcibly, and we hope,
successfully applied.

BRYAN ON DOLLAR WHEAT
Law of supply and Demand Regulates

Law of Supply and Demand Regulates
the Price of All Commodities.
Philadelphia, Sept g.. The Press
prints a letter from William j. Bryan,
the first utteranee after three months
of travel and observation during the
return of prosperity. Among other
things he says:
Wheat has risen because the foreign
crop has been exceedingly short. The
fact that silver and wheat have parted
company will cause no dismay to those
who understand that the law of sup
ply and demand regulates the price of
both. Nothing can better disclose the
weakness of the Republican position
than the joy manifested by the Re-
publicans over events for which their
administration and their politics are in
no wise responsible.
IF the Republicans desire to claim
credit for the price of wheat they must
assume the responsibility for the fam
inc in India A great rise in price
should be followed by a rise in wages .
Mr.. Bryan says that the joy over the
increase of money from wheat is evil
dence that we have too little money;
that If the farmers are benefited by the
rise in one of their products how much
better it would be if the rise was uni
versal; that the price of wheat will
fall when the foreign demand becomes
normal, and that the present spasmod-
ic rise will aid rather than injure the
cause of binetallism.

WILL GIVE HIS WHOLE TINE TO
BASE BALL-President N. E.
Young, OF the Base Ball League, has
resigned his government position TO
give his exclusive time to base ball.
He has on hand a couple OF projects
which he may bring before the at
tention of the magnates at their fall
meeting. Mr.. Young now sees many
of the games at Baltimore, and he
talks freely of his own ideas of some
improvements which, he thinks,
would tend to the welfare of profess
sional base ball. One of his plans is
to have the clubs make three trips,
instead of two, each season. He
also thinks that the proper way to
pay the expenses OF the League is
to take a small per centage of the
gross receipts instead of making as
sessments-easy for the wealthy
clubs, but which may appear as
hardship for those organizations
which are los ing money or just
about quitting even.

THE STA TESnAN MIDDLE

THE STA I'ESHA MS MIDDLE.
A book of Ordinances for the Cor
poration has brought the editor of
the Statesman to the necessity of
measuring swords with the Demo-
cratic City Council. The printing
of such book at the present juncture,
although ordered by the previous
Council, is wholly unnecessary, for
the simple reason, that it has only
been few years since Mr.. II. Fl.
Emmert, Attorney for q Democratic
Council compiled the Ordinances, and
the same were printed aud distribut-
cd. But, there seems to be more
money around than can be properly
ueed upon needed public improve
ments, hence new compilation and
publication. This furnishes the bone
of contention. The Council has
awarded the printing TO the Demo.

and asked if he had anything to say
He suggested that the governor be
seen, but when informed that the re-
porters had been referred to him Gen
eral Reeder said:
II have resigned. The governor last
Thursday night sent me a written re-
quest for my resignation, in which no
reason for such a request was stated,
but which I at once acceded to. The
governors request was very formal"
General Reeder turned the depart
ment over to Deputy Secretary Barnett,
and left for his home in Easton. 1t is
known that the resignation was asked
for because Governor Hastings did not
approve of General Reeder's being one
of the signers of a bond indemnifying
the state treasurer for money paid out
to the legislative employees who were
alleged to be on the payroll without
authority of law.
Governor Hastings last evening ten
dered the office of secretary of the COM
monwealth to Colonel James H. Lam
bert, at present insurance commits

to consider the matter and consult with

..Knife That Killed Mrs Lnetpert 4.


Chicago, Sept. 9.-The defense in the
trial of Adolph Luetgert for wife muir
der We're surprised by a move of the
state yesterday. What is considered to
be one of the strongest pieces of evil
denee in the trial was introduced. Mrs.
Christine Feldt, Luetgert's one time
sweetheart, was called to the stand by
the state for the third time. Assistant
State Attorney McEwan handed her a
pocket knife, the blades of which were
stained and rusted, and asked her if
she had ever seen it before. She testi-
fed that the sausage maker had given
her this knife for safe keeping on the
day of his arrest. The prosecution as
serts that it was with this knife Luet-
CERT murdered his wife before placing
her body in the boiling potash where it
was dissolved. Luetgert admits that
the knife is his property.

LOO miles, including over so miles of
