the PeOpIe-It Is Now a Dangerous
business to Discuss the Fever Sit
uatiOn ina That City.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept 2O.-The city council
put price on the head of the "rumor
fend' this afternoon by passing an ordi-
nance prohibiting the circulation of false
reports of yellow fever cases, upon pen
atty of 800 fine or 30 days on the chain
gang.
This ordinance, which the police have
been ordered to enforce to the letter, is in
tended to put a quietus on the numerous
reports of fever cases that have been fly
ing about since the commencement of the
epidemic.
Every day there has been one or more
cases reported at different places, the ru-
NOR gaining such circulation that the
health authorities have had to deny each
in turn. In most instances the reports had
no foundation at all.
From now on the police will nab every
fellow who is found discussing these ru-
mOrs and it will be dangerous for a per-
son to open his mouth about the plague in
Atlanta.

question. Even if it could be checked
within thirty days th@ damage would al

this season. 1t would also have left it's ug-
ly usufruct in lost reputation for health,

The loss will amount to many millions of
dollars to the infected cities and their
tributary country. 1t can be repaired. 1
firmly believe that it will be. But it will
take time and labor of years to remake
what this fever invasion has unmade with

The ice cream was made by the soldiers
and the fact that the sergeant-major and

are poisoned, leads Surgeon Ives to deter
mine that plomani or baccilli was in the

the freezer perfectly clean
The effects of the poison, Surgeon Ives
says, may not prove fatal although sew

several bandmen are also poisoned. the
condition of the garrison is distressing
Capt. Hubbel, commanding the post and
battery, and his officers, are aiding Sur
geon Ives all possible to alleviate the suf-
ferings of the poisoned.

convicts to some one of the fertile ISL

them in raising cotton and in other agri-
cultural pursuits.
Another PLAN which is favored by Chair
man Hewlett Hail. is that of putting the
convicts to work on the public roads,

the misdemeanor convict question with a
view to recommending to the Legislature
that these be placed under the supervision
