JACKSON, Sept 9.-The operator at
Taylor was reported as down with the
fever this morning. hence no report
could be gotten from Taylor and Or
wood tonight. A report received from
DIR. Gulley at Meridian states that there
arc no developments in the suspicious
cases there. and DIR. Purnell's report
from the Edwards neighborhood is TO
the same effect. DIR. HARRISON tele-
graphed today from Waterford that the
case out in the country that was first
reported fever and then simply sus.
picious is really the fever. DIR. Landry
is in charge of the case, and has ii
thoroughly guarded and isolated. The
trocha around Taylor and Orwood Is
believed to be impossible, there being
a Gordon of guards around the places
to prevent the possibility of a spread.
DIR. Hunter states that the situation Is
about the same tonight, and the fever
shows no sy mptoms of getting beyond
the boards control.

The freight agents of the several
railroads doing business in this state
were cited some time ago to appear be
fore the railroad commission in answer
to petition of the Mississippi Live
Stock Association for a reduction in
rates ON cattle shipped in crates, OF
singly. but only one of them. Mr.. Powe,
of the Mobile & Ohio, put in an appear
ance at the meeting last week, the 9th
ers tclegraphing they could not attend
because of the quarantine restrictions.
j. A. =. Campbell, Jr., representative of
the stock breeders association, desired
that single shipments of cattle be rated
as fourth-class matter on all railroads,
and that where the shipment was over
two lines the second line should not be
permitted to charge more than 30 per
cent of the amount charged by the re
ceiving road. Mr. Powe objected to
this, as it would be a serious inequality,
a proposition to which Mr.. Campbell
assented. and withdrew that portion of
his demand. Mr.. Powc stated to the
commission that his road was always
willing and anxious to do anything
possible to further the interests of the
farmers and the cattle breeders of the
State. The commission postponed tina
action until the next meeting.

OPEN THE CAMPAIGN.
NiddIe-of-the-Rosd Populists In Con-
ventien OF Cincinnati Nominate
National Ticket for 1000.

Cincinnati, Sept. THE middle-of-
the-road populists Tuesday reorgan-
lied the peoples party, renewed Its
former declaration OF principles, and
nominated its national ticket two
years and two months in advance OF
the date of the election. The object OF
this early action was to head on any
such fusion a that OF 1896.
After numerous nominating and sec
onding speeches in presenting two
names for presidential candidates,
ballot was taken resulting as follows:
Wharton Barker, of Pennsylvania,
1913 As; Ignatius Donnelly, of Mime
sofa, 90 is. On motion OF Mr.. Don
nelly the nomination OF Mr.. Barker
was made unanimous. 1gnatius Don
nelly was then nominated by acclama-
ton for vice president.
A very long platform was adopted
which incorporated the provisions OF
the Omaha platform as well as the adj
dress adopted at the morning session.
The declarations in the platform do
not differ from those OF other plat
forms except in the plank which espe-
cially denounces Senator Marion But
Ter, OF North Carolina, as chairman OF
their national committee for attempt
ing ito drive the populist party into
the democratic organization" The
resolutions also provided for the reor-
ganization of the party with Milton
Park, of Dallas, Tex. as chairman.
The boiling delegates said they were
instructed not to participate in the
nomination of ticket. The conven-
ton adjourned without fixing any time
or place for another convention.
The most important action OF the
convention was the adoption of the
referendum system as the cardinal
principle In the future of the govern
ment Of the recognized party. After
the nomir tions had been made reso-
luton was offered by Capt. Frank Bur
kett, of Mississippi, providing that the

tories and that said referendum be
taken in accordance with the rules

and perfectly calm voice, delivered her
address.
The first public utterance of the
queen to her people was listened to
with profound emotion. Her enuncia-
ton was so perfect that her clear voice
penetrated to the farthest recesses of
the church.
After the address, the queen sat for
