FEVER is
Situation in Mississippi is Very
SeriouS-The Governor is
a Fugitive.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. S.-The yellow
fever situation throughout the state of
Mississippi is assuming grave proportions.
The area Of the fever has so enlarged
that infection may be said to be general
throughout the state, as there is not a
section that has not been visited. Three
interstate railroads have practically sus-
pended business, and several short lines
are on the verge. of a temporary shut-
down, due to the lack Of trade. Twenty
thousand or more people have hurrled!y
left the state and are refugeeing in North
ern cities, eagerly awaiting the approach
of cold weather.
The disease continues to increase steadi-
ly in Jackson, the state capital. Since
September p there have been forty-four
cases there, of which tWenty-four were
negroes. Only five deaths nave been re-
ported since the beginning. The weather
for the past thirty-siX hour has been
considerably cooler throughput the state.
Jackson, Miss, Oct. S.-GOv. A. j. Nc
Laurin Of the state of Mississippi and an
ex-senator of the United States from this
state, is now a fugitive from yellow fever
in the heart of the great pine section,
whittier he has flown for safety:
Having voluntarily abandoned his office
and being turned out of his native home,
he Is III" IL NdA0CIlhS C1u6CS3 u.N, ~
far as known. has not tonight a place to
lay his head.
Early in the week he went to his old
home at Brandon, but on Wednesday the
city council held a meeting and passed an
order requiring the governor and his
household to leave the town. The same
evening another meeting was held and
the order was amended as to the family,
but the governor was ordered to move on.
This he did, and went southwardly
along the dirt road into Smith county.
This is the last that has been heard of
him here. All efforts to communicate
with him have been unavailing.
The lieutenant-gOvernor is still in reach,
but has no jurisdiction so long as the
governor himself is in the state. No
state business of any character can be
transacted. No state papers requiring
the governors signature are valid.

Y GETS WORSE.
Alarming Increase in Number Of
Cases in Mississippi-Patient
Burned to Death.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 10.-The yellow
fever situation in Mississippi grows rap
idly worse and unless cool weather comes
soon nearly the entire state bids fair to
become infected.
Harrison, in Jefferson county, has a
population of only $50. and nineteen
cases developed there yesterday and last
night, DR.. Harrison being among the num-
Der. Harrisburg, in Perry county, now
has fourteen cases.
In Jackson the little yellow flags mark
ing the presence of infection increase rap
idly. There is now only one section of
the city without a case of disease, North
Jackson, and there are two or three Sus-
piciOus cases there under surveillance.
Two new cases this morning, added to
the record, both on Capitol street, Miss
Minnie Gordon and Ed. Herbert.
DR.. j. Is. Harrison, health officer of
Tallahatchie county, reports that at Phil
lips, Letor county, a mob of frightened
natives burned a dying white man in a
negro church, where he had taken refuge.
The victim was a tramp. and had vel
low fever. DR.. Harrison, who was at
tending the sick man, was called away on
urgent business. Returning in a few
hours he found the church in ashes.

REPORT On INDIANS.
Commissioner Jones Notes Craft
flying Progress in Educa-
tiOnal Work.

Washington, D. Cy Oct. 1O.-The an
nua report of Commissioners of Indian
Affairs William A. Jones shows Il general
steady advancement ID the condition of
the nations wards. Education, the great
est factor in solving the status Of the In
dams, is being pushed forward in the
service and now there are 147 we'll
equipped boarding schools and an equal
number of day schools engaged in the
education of 23,952 pupils. The average
attendance and enrolment has steadily
increased for the past twenty-one years.
Various inquiries made by commissioners
during the year show significantly that
81 per cent of those pupils who have zone
through the schools and returned TO their
homes are reported to be in good physical
condition, contrary to the frequent sug-
g~estions that the change might break q
naturally strong and vigorous constitu-
ton.
The school plants in the service are val
ued at over $3,OOO,OOC, and larger funds
for keeping them in repair, etc, are
urged.
Discussing the work of the commission
to make allotments on the UncomDahere
reservation, Utah. the commission says it
is believed many allOtments were made
to Indians not occupying the lands al
Iotted and willing to remove to the Vim
tan reservation and that authority for
Sucn allotInentS is questioned as well as
whether the Indians in possession of the
lands can be allotted. Congress is asked
to legalize the allotments ON the Uncoua-
pahgre reservation made after April /,
1898, to remove all doubt. Referring to
the torturing and burning of Seminoles in
Oklahoma last January the report says
it is thought indemnity will soon be paid
by the government to all members of the
Seminole nation injured by the mob of
lawless whites in that occurrence and the
whites guilty of the outrages are now be-
ing prosecuted. The report gives in de-
tail the work that has been going on at
the various reservations during the year.

INDIANS RACE IS RUN.
Geronimo, Once the Terror of the
Southwest, Says Minnesota
Reds Are Foolish.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 10.-"The Mime
sofa Indians will see that they have made
a great mistake in going on the warpath,"
says Geronimo, the far1ous Apache chief,
who is one of the Indians now in camp
at the Indian congress-.
Il have never been in Minnesota, but I
hear that up there and for hundreds Of
miles beyond the white men are as many
as the blades of grass. If that is so, what
can Il few poor Indians do in a fight?
They are making a great mistake and are
fools. For years [ fought the white men,
thinking that with my few braves I would
kill them all and that we would again
have the land that our great father gave
us and which he covered with game. [
thought that the great spirit would be
with us and that after we had killed the
white men, the buffalo, deer and antelope
would come back. After I fought and
lost, and after | travelled over the coun-
try in which the white man lives and saw
his cities and the work that he had done,
my heart was ready to burst. [ knew
that the race of the Indian was run"
Asked what he thought would eventual
Iy become of the Indian, Geronimo hest
tated a moment, and then, pointing to the
west, replied:
"The sun rises and shines for a time
and then it goes down, sinking out of
sight, and is lost. So it will be with the
Indians.
when I was a boy my old father told
me that the Indians were as many as the
leaves on the trees, and that way off in
the north they had many horses and furs.
I never saw them, but / know that if
they were there then they nave gone now,
and the white man has taken all they had.
1t will be only a few years more until the
Indians will be heard of no more, except
in the books that the white man has writ
ten. They are not the people that the
great father loves, for if they were he
would protect them. They have tried to
please him, but they do not know how.
SCHOOLS are good things for Indians,
but it takes many years to change the ma
ture of the Indian. If any Indian goes
to school and learns to be like a white
boy, he comes back to the gency and
there is nothing for him to do but put on
a blanket and be like an Indian again.
This IS where the government is to blame.
When it takes our children away and edu-
Gates them it should give them something
to do, not turn them loose to run wild
upon the agency. Until that time comes
educating the Indian is throwing money
away. What can an educated Indian do
out in the sage brush and cactus?
There will be no more big Indian wars.
The Indians fighting days are over and
there is nothing left for him to do
but to be a beggar and live OF charity
around the agency"

KEEP OUT CHEAP LABOR
Native CubanS will be Protected
Against an Influx of Ne
grOeS from jamaica.


New York, Oct. 1O.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Santiago de Cuba says:
complaints are being made by residents
of Santiago regarding the continued i'm
portation of Jamaica negroes, many of
whom are of the criminal class. and who
are obtaining work and crowding out the
natives; On these complaints Gen
Wood has issued an order that no boat
shall be allowed to land passengers of
this class. If any are proved to be of
bad character they will be deported.
None of them will be employed on public
works, preference in all cases being given
Cubans.
'This interfered in some degree with
the operations Of the iron mines, the
managers of which are advertising in ia
maica for laborers through the ~consuls.
Notification of Gen. Woods order will
probably be sent to Acting Consul
Springer at Jamaica"

Distress in Russia Predicted.

Advices from Russia point to an acute
economic crisis and probably a wheat fam
inc during the coming winter. The crops
in Northern md Central Russia are a
complete failure, and what was thought
to be a record harvest in South Russia
proves to be a harvest far below the aver
age. The grain is sparse, small-sized and
very light. The farmers are throwing
their stocks on the market in order to
meet the Michaelmas demands and the
heavy laborers' hire. Prices, therefore.
have fallen considerably, but a reaction is
inevitable and prices are bound to boom,
as experts predict that the supplies are
wholly inadequate to meet the winter re-
Quirements.

American Flour for Pope's Last Wafer

For the last Host" which His Holiness
will receive. the sacred wafer of the body
of Christ, the fields Of America, in whose
Catholic interests Leo XIII. has taken
such deep and anxious interest, will con-
tribute, all unconsciously, the dover of
their bloom.
From Minneapolis, the busting town of
the far West, comes the flour for the
sacred wafer of st. Peters. From the
great rich uplands of Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Dakota, Montana and Manitoba, the
wheat has poured in to Minneapolis,
whole mills near the falls of Minnehaha
Laughing Water) grind the rich grain to
rich powder.
In the convent of the Sacred Heart at
Rome the privileged sister makes the sa-
cred wafer for the Pope. She also makes
the wafer bread for the Vatican and the
waters for the sisters communion in the
chapel of the Order of the Sacred Heart.
The last holy rite before the Pope's death
will be the swallowing of the holy wafer.

the gold the belt had contained had fallen
into the water. 1t was in $40 and $40
gold pieces. The face had been partly
