If this quarantine, which cuts us
of from all sourses of information,
continues much longer, we will
have to send a committee of our

The Quarantine.

Our Polio Jury is a body of SEN
sible men and their action in all
matters that have come under their
jurisdiction has met the commen-
dation Of majority of our best
citizens. In the matter of quaran-
timing the parish against that dread
scourge yellow fever, they were
prompt, and they have done the
best they could under the circum-
stances to protect our citizens. We
find nothing in their action to crit
icise in the way they have quaran-
tined against New Orleans, but in
view of the fact that Shreveport
and all points west have guarded
all roads connecting with the Texas
and Pacific from infected points, it
does seem that the quarantine, not
only ceases to be beneficial in that
direction, but absolutely dcstruc-
tive to the interests of business.
This rigid quarantine against a
quarter from which it is next to
impossible to expect contagion, is
injuring our people much more
than any one can calculate. Many
Of our farmers cannot gather their
cotton for the want Of money to
pay for the picking. Our Bank
has been cut off from all connection
with other banks, our merchants
cannot supply money to their Gus
toners, and our farmers have,
many of them, hundreds of bales
of cotton standing in the fields
that they cannot get picked with
out the money.
Suppose an equinoxial gale, such
as we have seen, should sweep over
the fields now white with the feecy
staple, what would be the result?
Why, hundreds of thousands of
dollars would be lost where there
is no necessity for it,
Our Police Jury should relax
the quarantine against the W est so
that our merchants and the bank
could supply themselves with the
necessities of business. This can
be done with absolute safety.
There need be no relaxation of
vigilance against any infected point,
in fact, no business man, or any
one else that we know Of, wants
any, but it is a useless hardship,
this keeping up o rigid quarantine
against a quarter of the country
that is entirely safe, and that is
doing as much as possible to keep
itself free from the fever.
Our people are demanding pro-
lection from yellow fever, but they
also demand protection from inju.
ry from a quarantine that is des-
tructiye to their business interests
and that does not add to their pro-
lection from the fever.

WORDS OF WIsD ON.

(FrOm The AMERICAN, Philadel-
phia, Penn.
Woman is seldom merciful to the
man who is timid.
Madam Roland defined marriage
as all institution where one person
was expected to provide happiness
for two.
The darkest hOurin the life of any
young man is when he sits down TO
study how to get money without
earning it.
The most cruel animal in the
world is one that kills other ami
mails simply for the pleasure it gets
from killing them. 1t is a biped,
or two legged animal and is called
man.
Two things, we'll considered,
would prevent many quarrels; first
to have it well ascertained whether
we are not disputlng about terms
rather than things; and, SECONDLY,
to examine whether that on which
we differ is worth contending about.
What a vast proportion of our
lives is spent in anxious and USE
less forebodings concerning the tu-
ture-either our own or that of our
dear ones! Present joys, present
blessings slip by, and we miss half
their sweet flavor, aud all for want
of faith in Him who provides for
the tiniest insect in the sunbeam.
O when shall we learn the sweet
trust in God that our little children
teach us every day by their contid.

table, 10 faulty, so irritable, SO un-
just, and He who is SO watchful, so

bring MS sleep, peace and home?

1t seems that quarantines, like
Louisiana justice, have an eye to
business, as Brick Pomeroy used to
say. Some people can come from
other cities and other parishes and
get into town and others can't.
We did not know that Alladin had
left his wonderful lamp lying
around loose, or we might have
known that Fosters gang would
have stolen it and been able to pass
anywhere or through anything, and
we would not have been surprised
that any one of them could pass
through an iron-bound quarantine,
yet such seems to be the case.

The Yellow Fever.

This much dreaded disease hay
ing made its appearance in our
State and gotten foothold in New
Orleans, the metropolis Of the
Southwest, our people became al
most panic stricken from the first.
All of us know, either from hear
say or observation, that when it
becomes epidemic it equal to any
other plague to which the human
family is subject, therefore it is
but natural that we can think of
but little else. While we have Ia
ken precautions to keep the fever
down, we also are cut off from full
statements of the condition of the
disease throughout the South.
The only communication now in
existence between us and New Or
leans, is the telegraph, and we can,
Of course, get only meagre infor
nation in that way. The towns
where the wires run get daily re-
ports, bat before they get far from
the office they are SO garbled by
the imagination and fears of the
people that one can seldom place
much confidence in what he hears.
At this point we hear daily from
the city, and can have tolerably
correct idea Of the progress the
fever is making. For the last
two weeks there have been in the
neighborhood of 100 persons strick-
en- with it and about 80 of these
have died. Those who study such
things, say that the percentage Of
deaths is very small. and the fever
must be Of the very mildest type,
or the physicians have learned a
better method Of treatment than
previously used. Many of those
who have had the fever have re-
covered and gone back to their af-
fairs. One of the most serious
difficulties in the way Of stamping
| it out is, That it got into the ltal-
ian quarter, where it is said the
people are crowded together like
sardines in a box. There is no
chance to isolate them, and when
one takes it he is surrounded by
dozens Of others who are exposed.
In this quarter there may be many
deaths, while in other quarters in
the city there will be few.
Physicians hope that owing to
the lateness Of its introduction it
will not be as serious as it has been
in former years, besides, there has
been such great improvement in
sanitation in the city that it will
not find so fertile a place for gene
ration.
The latest report was 10 new ca
ses and two deaths.
This world is full of hollow
shams, struttlng human peacocks
and cringing, fawning idiots. Let
some mep get but all insignificant

and they are Immediately raised

ATTACKED A WOMAN
MRS. OMAN OF SAN PEDRO AS
SAULTED WITH A RAZOR
A Strange Attempt at Murder by an
Unknown Man Who Makes His
Escape

A strange attempt was made Sunday
night at San Pedro by an unknown man
to murder Mrs. Margaret Oman, widow
and teacher in the public school at that
place. The attackupon her was most
brutal one her assailant attempting to
cut her throat with razor.
The assault was committed at about
$3.50 o'clock in the evening, while Mrs.
Oman's mother, Mrs. Williams, was
away at church. She was alone in the
house, which Is located on the hill, not
far from the Clarence hotel. While she
was reading her attention was attracted
to noise on the rear porch. She went
out to see what was the matter. AS she
opened the door large, swarthy man
confronted her. He clutched her shoul-
der, and holding aloft an open razor,
shouted in a rough vote, well, III just
cut your throat" Suiting the action to
the word, he began slashing viciously at
Mrs. Omans face and neck. She made
desperate struggle to free herself from
his grasp, and in the scramble was cut
about the chin and neck. The alright
ed woman managed to cry out 80 that
she could be heard, and neighbors start
ed to the rescue.
The would-be murderer evidently
heard their footsteps, for he loosed his
hold and started to run. AS soon as he
had left, Mrs. Oman sank to the floor in
a dead faint, where she was found when
her friends who had been attracted by
her cries arrived Her face was covered
with blood, but an examination showed
that none of her wounds were danger
Gus.
When she recovered Mrs. Oman re-
lated what had occurred, and the report
spread rapidly. Searching parties were
formed and secured the town nearly all
night but failed to catch the murderous
assailant. If he had been found it is not
improbable that he would have been
summarily dealt with, as Mrs. Oman
is highly respected in San Pedro. She
is the widow of the late cashier of the
San Pedro bank, and since his death has
been teaching in the public schools.
Consequently, when the circumstances
of the brutal attack upon her became
known, excitement ran high. Thus far.
however, the man has eluded capture.
Mrs. Oman can in no way account for
the assault, except on the theory that
robbery was the motive, and that when
she unexpectedly appeared before the
would-be thief he became enraged and
was willing to murder her rather than
take the chances of being identified.
