l .STRICp QUARANZYAE [.

The Pine Bluff Board of Health should maintain q strict and rigid quarantine against Memphis, and all other infected yellow fever points. At thls time a great re- sponsibility rests upon the Board of Health, and should yellow fever make access 10 Pine Bluff, public in- dignation against the Board would know no bounds. Therefore, the Board owes it to themselves and to the people to exert their every ef- fort in the prevention of the dread malady from reaching this place. Just one case of yellow fever here would not only play havoc with our business interests, but greatly frighten and alarm the people. Let the Board of Health, therefore. maintain strict quarantine, in which effort they should have the hearty cooperation of all officers and citizens, regardless of persons or parties.

Gave His Daughter Poison.

w. p. Person recently lost his place
in the freight department of the Santa
Fe railway at Los Angeles. His efforts
to secure employment were vain, and
he wrote to friend named Ball that
he would kill his 8-year-old daughter
and himself.
Person then detailed his plan to his
daughter. He told her that she would
be able to see her mother, who is dead,
if she took poison with him. She did
not want to die, but, thinking she must
obey her father, drank the carbolic acid
he gave her. Person then took prussic
acid.
Ball arrived just as Person was gasp
ing his last breath. The girl, whose
tongue and throat were burned, was
taken to a hospital and her life saved.

ing copper metal.
Arch@ologists believe that at some
prehistoric time the country surround
ing Mora was densely inhabited by a
race Of people who were much farther
advanced in civilization than the Indi-
ans. The many mounds around Fish
lake show that a mighty race Of people
lies slumbering there, whose history is
yet unwritten only as one can read by
the mounds of earth which were used
as sepulchers for their dead and which
demonstrate beyond a doubt that they
were q numerous as well as powerful
people.
Two Investigators excavating
mound found skeleton apparently
embalmed in a kind of cement, which
seemed to be prepared for embalming
the dead. The skeleton appeared to be
in a perfect state of preservation and
showed by measurement height Of
feet for the individual, built in good
proportions. AS soon as the air struck
it the bones crumbled and disappeared.
Taking the country northeast from
Fish lake, where there is a group of 81
mounds. one finds a regular system of
, dams extending clear to Lake Superior,

the prehistoric man had regular

great city around Fish lake to Lake Su-
