Murphy also gave orders that every
precaution be taken to prevent the
spread of the disease. He said that ex-
traordinary precautions would be
taken to this end
Col. Warning was apparently well

was suffering from yellow fever.
Immediately isolated.
Col Warning was Immediately isolated
In his apartments in the ninth floor of

in which he lived. There are nine fam
lilies in the house.
Precautions were Immediately taken
TO prevent the spread of the disease. No
one but the physicians and Mrs. Waring,
who had had the disease, and is there
fore immune, were allowed to see Col.
lWaring. Everything that was taken in
or out Of the apartment in which he was
lying was disinfected. Inspectors of the
board of health were stationed at and
In the house to prevent people from get
ting near to the sick man.
The doctors Mt first did not think the
case was malignant one. When Col
Warnings temperature rose to 1851
however, the physicians became
alarmed and the case was considered
In Its most serious form, and Col. War
ing was treated accordingly. 1t was
plain that he was getting worse. The
black yomit, the most serious symptom,
was fought off until one o'clock this
morning. The end came six hours later.
Remains Cremated.

ing. The body was placed on board
and taken to Swinburne Island. It was
there placed in retort and DR.. Doty
himself lit the fire which cremated the
remains.

moved from the house the apartments

That Popular Loan

When congress authorized the sale
of bonds to aid in the prosecution of
the Cuban war, John F. Murtha of
Plymouth Rock was one of the very
first to subscribe for $500 or $1,000.
In the shuttle for the national banks
Mr.. Murtha's subscription has proba-
bly, been lost and no bonds are likely
to come to him. The National banks
were determined to get these bonds at
their face instead OF paying small
premium as in other bond sales, and
Secretary Gage was undoubtedly in
collision with them, and about so per
cent of the bonds through fraudulent
and fictitious bidders have been traced
to them. Mr.. Murtha is the only
farmer in all this region so far as we
know who made application for them
and he fails to get any thus far.

SAME HOPEFUL FEELING.
No Change in the Peace Commission
Situation-Speedy Termination
Expected.

Washington, Oct. 31.-Advices from
Paris are to the effect that there is
no change in the peace commission sit
uation. The administration has the
same hopeful feeling of success that
was entertained Friday at the cabinet
meeting, and the statement is reiter-
ated that negotiations are in fair
way to be brought to speedy termina-
ton. The question of the Philippines
has not been formally considered by
the peace commissioners, but there
has been some informal discussion be-
tween the American and Spanish rep
resentatives, with the result that the
American commissioners have indicat-
ed to the administration that the set
Element will not be as difficult as an
ticipated some time ago. AS indicated
in the dispatches from Washington
few days ago, the determination seems
to have been reached by the United
States government to retain all OF the
Philippine islands, and the question
for controversy will be over the allow
ance to Spain for the islands. This
feature of the case is now being care
fully considered by the administra-
ton in Washington and by the Ameri-
can commissioners in Paris. In this
matter the conclusions of the United
States government will be based upon
what is believed just and proper and,
as in the case of the Cuban article Of
the protocol, the United States posi-
ton will be in effect an ultimatum.
If accepted by the Spanish commits
sioners, as is believed to be likely, the
details would then remain to be ar
ranged, but no difficulty is anticipated
after the main question is settled.

Hard Portfolio to Dispose of.

Paris, Oct. s1.-The newspapers here
declare that the difficulty which is de-
laying the formation of a new cabinet
lies in the selection of the minister of

cept the portfolio of war, it is believed
that NJ. Depuy will not find a general
willing to accept.

This condition in county affairs APP
peals to the people for a change in the
administration that can only be
brought about by infusing new blood
and new men into the places of trust

ton of the county was increased by

has increased the tax levy so that the
taxes are becoming heavier every
year, and withoutany apparent cause.
During the time the democrats had
control of county affairs nearly all
the iron bridges of the county were
built and paid for, the poor farm
bought and paid for, the Jail and
Sheriff's residence built aud paid for,
and the debt of the county entirely
paid, with less valuation of proper
ty and less percent of tax levy than
has prevailed since. We do not say
there is anything wrong in our coun-
ty funds, but it will be we'll enough to
have the county books overhauled
thoroughly, to ascertain where the
leak may be. In Mitchell county
where the same method of settlement
of county affairs prevailed as prac-
ticed here, it was found on overhaul,
ing the books by a competent ac-
countant that there were defalcations
of over $4,000 against most of which
the statute of limitation had run, re-
leasing the surety on the bond. We
trust that everything is all right in
our county, but it will do no harm to
elect A. L. Wallace supervisor, and
L. H. Burns Auditor, and have such
an accounting as will determine the
condition of affairs.

currence of yellow fever and its en-
trance into the gulf cities Of the United

way down from Wlnona to se-

but aside from that no train
has arrived. Two engines went
out with the snowplow and got
stalled. The crews walked to

to bring them to town. Then
three engines were coupled to-
