Men succumb to Charlton Epidemic,


Particularly alarming reports Of
the rayages of the se-calied charbon,
heretofore regarded only as dis
ease affecting cattle and stock, have
been received from the Florida par
ishes of Louisiana.
The reports, which comes through
a Pontchatoula source, are calculated
to only augment ihe dread In which
this disease is held by reason of the
fact that several well-autbenticated
instances of deaths of people are
cited.
Heretofore deaths have been re.
corded only in the case of cattle and
horses. but the reports referred to
note fatalities in the cases of two
men, with another expected and per.
haps others to follow.
The two cases in which the dis
ease is said to have terminated fatal.
~ are those of John Little, of Clio,
Livingston parish, and the assessor
of that parish. The assessor Of
Livingston parish is T. A. Solassi,
who resided at SpringviIle. The
third victim of the malady, who is
reported to be in a dying condition,
is Mr.. John Snyder. The pecu-
liar and deadly disease presents
symptoms that have so far baflied
the physicians of the afflicted Sec
ton and as a result appeals are be-
ing made by the people there for.
assistance and advice in treating
the scourge. Among stock the dis
ease is said to be particularly fatal
to life, one farmer losing no less
than eight head Of cattle in one
night while another lost fourteen
head of stock in one day.
Local physicians are at loss to
account for the virulense of this
particular visitation Of the disease.
Veterinarians who are more or less
familiar with the ordinary. appear
.nce of charbon are equally unable|
o determine the reason for its uni
virulence New ORD

THE REruNp1xG ORDINANCES.

Elsewhere in this issue of the Regis
ter is presented an outline of the refund
ing ordinance drawn by the City Solic-
itor under the instructions of the spe-
cial Council Committee. and which,
read last evening, was laid aside until
Thursday evening for further consider
alton. The ordinance contemplates
ten-thirty-four loan. under the State
law, with a special tax sufficient to pay
the interest and one-thirty-fourth of the
} principal annually, but that portion of
the tax applicable to principal, during
the first ten years, is to be banked at
the best rate Of interest obtainable,"
said interest going, not to the loan ac-
count, but into the city treasury, and
is to be held until 1909, when the first
series of bonds can be redeemed There
after the tax will be applied annually
to the payment of interest and the re-
demption of principal until the loan
is wiped out. Assuming that the loan
can be negotiated at a four per cent.
rate, the interest will amount to $17,-
600 per year. or $4,000 for the ten
years before payment on principal can
be commenced. One-thirty-fourth Of the
loan represents $12,610 per year, for ten
years, or s126.100, and the interest will
be $4,000 additional, total of $780,
100, which will be demanded of tax
payers on this account before a dollar
of the principal is paid, and then the
debt will be dragged along for thirty
four years more, principal and interest
easily doubling it before 1888.
This IS plain business proposition,
and taxpayers should consider It as
personal matter At present we are
paying off the city debt at the rate of
about 100000 of principal a year, the
interest rate being a fraction less than
six per cent. At the end Of ten wears
we shall have paid one-half the debt.
CT little more. and with the saving
Of about 81 500 in interest each year,
the city will rapidly, under the exist
Ing system, arrive at an easy financial
condition, not only as result of the
saving in interest. but from increased
taxation as natural result OF the
growth of taxable property, and this
without any increase in the tax rate.
On the other hand. if we refund, two
things result: First, taxation is in,
creased; and. second. we practically pay
none Of the principal of debt for ten

But rather lift your voice to praise
The beauty Of October days
One little garden, just in view,
Is blooming through the misty dew.
Each bright-ge mmed fower-every one
Has turned TO face the absent sun.
The creeper's crimson leaves entwine
With purple blooms upon the vine:
As round the latrfce work they wait
TIL Sol uRbars his golden gate
Bright marigo.as. like orange burnt.
Uphold their heads and bear the brunt
OF chilly nights. Their sturdy forms
Win last till come Novembers storms.
And there a bank of scarlet sage
Is blooming near youth and old age.
While close beside the snowy mist
Mods TO chrysanthemum' budding grist:
Now here and there amid a space
The larkspur peeps with smiling face
And drains the honeysuckle wine
That subtle floats out from the vine

II is strange infatuation which has

Over in New York Governor Roose-
welt has removed from Office the
Treasurer of Chautauqua county, be-
cause he retained interest in public
funds, received present of S1O0 from a
bank in which he made deposits of
county money, and generally looked
after his own interests. This won't do
at all. In the Republican State Of

years, but tae money representing cne-
thirty-fourth of the new bonds is an
! nuaiiy taken from the people and
placed in bank, while the interest ac-
count on the whole amount runs on.
Which Is the better plan: to continue
| to pay as the bonds mature and get
out of debt, or 'stave" the debt off,
| while paying increased taxes and inter-
est? This is the practical and business
question to be solved by the voter.
But it will be urged that the COM
promise loan is due and payable July
1st next. and that the city.cant meet
this obligation of $4,000. That is I'M
doubtedly true; but how would it do to
! refund the compromise loan by itself,
AS the lesser of two evils. and go on
paying off the other debt? This bur-
den, although delayed a decade, would
be no greater than in the past. for
practically none of these bonds have
been paid for ten years, and by the
time the refund OF this issue became
redeemable we would have knocked the
old issues almost out. and would be in
a position to make short work of the
rest.
This Is matter to be studied over.
The'difference between per cent. and,
say. so is not so great that the city
can afford to pay interest and increased
taxation for ten years ever 1t. To be
sure, it is suggested that the city's reg
ular levy may be reduced. but we all
know how that will work out, for the
cry is always more money!"

portant public question, and think it
