NO NEGROES WANTED
 AT FL DORADO.
Careful to Explain That Trouble Arising Has No Connection
 With Parnell Feud.

Fl Dorado, Feb. 29. A notice was posted last Wednesday on the door of Superintendent Wheeler, who is building the county jail, stating that no negro bricklayers were needed here. The next day Wheeler was told by the business men of the town that his men would be protected, and to go ahead with his work. Nothing more was heard of the matter until Sunday morning about two o'clock, when the house occupied by the negroes was fired into, about twenty shots being fired. None of the negroes was hurt.
 County Judge Marsh at once offered a reward of one hundred dollars each for the arrest and conviction of the parties, and early Sunday morning Constable Peters and Deputy Guy Tucker had four men in jail. This morn ing MT. Nelson and Josh Askew were fined fifty dollars, and An drew Carrigan and Bob Wallace were fined twenty dollars.
 It is reliably stated that De- putty Marshal Holman will be here tomorrow and arrest them for violation of the United States law.
 This has no connection with the Tucker-P feud.

NO SURRENDER"
 IS ORDER ISSUED.
Japanese and Russians Are Again Preparing for Combined Land
 and Sea Struggle.

Port Arthur, Feb. %. Gen. Stoessel, commander of the Rus sian garrison in Port Arthur, has issued a general order direct ing the attention of the troops and inhabitants to the fact that the Japanese intend to land and storm the fortress.
 The general declares the Jap- anese consider the seizure of Port Arthur to be a question of national honor and from their obstinate attacks and lombard ments of the fortress and bays he can only conclude that the enemy will make an effort to capture the place, failing in which the Japanese will destroy the railroad and withdraw.
 "The enemy, however, pro ceeds the general order, lis mis- taken. Our troops know and the inhabitants are herewith inform ed by me that we will not yield.
 We must fight to the end. As I, the conamandant. will never give an order to surrender, call on all to make up their minds to fight to the death. Those who leave without fighting will not save themselves. There is no way out. On three sides there is the sea, and on the fourth will be the enemy. There is no means of escape except by fight ing"
 Russian spies bring the infor- nation that the Japanese fleet has received orders to attack and capture Port Arthur on March 1 at all costs.
 It is known that Japan has landed a heavy force of troops on one of the Elliott islands near Dalny, and about one nights march from Port Arthur.
 It is confirmed that a Japanese torpedo boat destroyer was blown up and another sunk dur ing the recent fighting. The wreck of the latter was subse- quently washed ashore.

BRAKEMAN
 IDENTIFIES
Corroborates Partially Story of Negro Bash Duggitt--- Bud Tyler Under Ar rest---Is Identified
 By Shaw.

H. c. Wallace, brakeman ,on No. 80, Saturday night, which passed through here north bound at 10:40 o'clock, came in Monday night in response to a request of Sheriff Randy and Trainmaster Hobbs to tell what he knew of and identify, the negro Bush Duggitt, captured near Minturn Sunday.
 Tuesday morning, Wallace was taken to the jail and told to walk past the different cells and identi- fly the negro, who rode to Alicia upon his train the night in ques- tion. When in front of the cell occupied by Duggitt, he stopped and said, That is the negro. " He identifies Duggitt as the negro who rode from Newport and jumped off the train near Alicia, but not as the guilty negro.
 To a reporter for the Independ- ent, Wallace courteously gave a very complete recital of his story, which we follow below.
 No. 80 was laden chiefly with oranges and stock, and to use railroad vernacular was burning the rails on her rth-bound trip, when stop was made at 10:40 p. m. at Newport. Here the ne- gro Bush Duggitt promised to pay Wallace $2 for the ride into St. Louis and was slowed away in a refrigerator car, entrance being gained through one of the ice doors in the top.
 Wallace says that when he pushed the door down the negro rammed it back up and that he tol9. him the conductor would be along soon and put him off if he didn't lay still. He then locked the two top doors of the car and the negro began yelling.
 
 Another negro over six feet in height and yellow in color also rode a nearby car as far as Camp bell, and a third negro was hang ing about the train before it left Newport, but didn't make any attempt to steal passage.
 The freight made a stop at Alicia, and as the brakeman thought the negro's actions were suspicious, he informed the officer there and told him the man they wanted was in that car. The officer went out to or ganize a posse and the train left in the meantime. Wallace says that he has no doubt that the negro overheard the talk, became frightened and managed to break the rotten holdings of the top dobf bolts.
 Wallace was sitting on the sec ond car with another brakeman named Ross, when the two mo- ticed Duggitt standing upon the top of the car. They yelled and the negro ran to the edge and jumped, though the train was probably making 35 miles an hour. He must have lighted on his feet, but Wallace could see him laying all spraddled out, with his arms extended as though he had been pitched forward by the movement of the train after striking the ground upon his feet.
 The car was not examined for the negro's coat and shoes and the brakeman does not remem- Der whether he had them on or not when he jumped. Wallace says that the negro wore bib ouaralls a black snllare c11t coat

CURIOUS ECHOES.
One Place Where a Pistol Report Is
Repeated Sixty Times.

The suspension bridge across
the Menai straits, in Wales, pro-
duces one of the most remarkable
echoes in the world, says Stray
Stories. The sound of a blow with
a hammer on one of the main piers
is returned in succession from
each of the crossbeams which sup
port the roadway, and from the
opposite pier at the distance of 576
feet, in addition to which the sound
is many times repeated between
the water and roadway at the rate
of IS times in five seconds.
An equally remarkable echo is
that of the castle of Simonetta,
about two miles from Milan.
The report of pistol is repeated
by this echo 60 times.
a singular echo is also heard in
grotto near Castle COmber, in
ireland.
In the garden of the Tuileries, in
Paris, is an artificial echo, which
repeats a whole verse without the
loss of single syllable.
Another wonderful echo is heard
outside the Shipley church, in Sus.
sex, which echoes some 20 syllables
in the most perfect manner.
The well-known echo at Wood
stock repeats itself no fewer than
so times. In one part of the Pan
theon so great is the echo that the
striking together of the palms Of
the hands is said to make a report
equal to that of a 12-pound can
non.

PREVENTION OF HOLD
FEVER.
Circular Issued by the State Board
of health of Kentucky.
TO the Health Officials, Physicians
and People Of Kentucky.

TO the Health Officials, Physicians
and People Of Kentucky.
This Board again feels it to be a
duty to call the earnest attention
of our health authorities and peo-
pie to the increasing prevalence
and mortality from typhoid fever
and to the consequent growing i'm
portance of the constant use of the
methods endorsed and confirmed by
scientific research and observation
for the prevention of the diseases
1905 cases of this disease and
1879 deaths were reported in Ken
lucky last year, chiefly confined to
peep!e il the prime OF life and USE
fulness. The cost of caring for
those sick of it, to say nothing OF
the sorrow, suffering and loss of
life, for the year, is reported as
being $963,75O.
Typhoid fever is probably the
most preventable of all diseases, not
even excepting smallpox. tits now
definitely known that, like choleia
and dysentery, the germs of the di
sease are contained only in the dis
charges from the bowels and kid
neys of those sick of it, and that il
is necessary for person to swallow
some of such discharges, or things
polluted by them, in some way. in
order TO contract the disease. They
usually gain entrance to the system
through infected water from wells
or streams draining inhabited areas,
and polluted by infected fecal mat
ter, or such matter may be carried
by flies and deposited on the food,
utensils and hands in unscreened
kitchens and dining rooms. The
germs may also be- carried on the
hands of careless attendants, or on
soiled clothing, or indirectly, by
using milk or other articles of un-
cooked food or drink from cans and
vessels washed in infected water
Ice from infected water is also dan
gerous, as it has beer proven that

freezing does not kill the germs.
A large volume of water may be in
fected from one case, and, if al
ready polluted with organic matter,
become ready culture fluid for the
multiplication of the germs. In
the now noted epidemic at Ply
mouth, Pennsylvania, involving the
sickness of i,104 persons, and the
death of ia, the outbreak was
traced to the use of water from a
stream infected by the discharges
from enc imported case. The re-
cent disastrous epidemic at Ithaca,
New York, causing many deaths,
and requiring the suspension of
Cornell University, was traced to
the use of a public water supply
similarly infected.
On the other hand, in the dis
tressing and fatal epidemic which
chung to our military camps at
Chickamauga, Camp Mead, Mon
tauk Point, and other places, dur
ing the SpanIsh-American war, flies
were found to be the principal car
riers of the disease by the United
States Commission appointed to
investigate the origin of the out
breaks. By the use of white pow
der sprinkled over the discharges
in the latrines, thousands of these
pests were tracked direct from these
and found covering the food, hands
and utensils in the kitchens and
mess rooms of the common soldiers.
Cultures taken from the feet, legs,
bills and intestines of these, flies
showed the germs of typhoid fever
in countless numbers. The kitch-
ems and mess rooms of the officers
were screened, and they almost un-
iformly escaped the disease. Other
facts no less convincing as to both
water and flies being carriers Of
this disease might be multiplied in
definitely, IL space permitted. In
a smaller way, they must be com
mon in the experience of most ply
sicians in active practice. Hs
Based upon the teachings OF the
foregoing facts, the following rules
have been prepared with care for
THE guidance OF all persons inter

ested in their own and the public
health:
l. When it is known or suspect
ed that a person has typhoid fever,
he should be placed in a large, we'll
ventilated room, with the windows
and doors we'll screened, and such
preparation should be made from
the first day for the thorough and
systematic disinfection of all dis
charges from the bowels and kid
neys as will protect other mem bers
of the family, the ate ndants, and
! the community. & A8 " tf ~ (
2. A solution of chloride of
lime, eight ounces to the gallon of
water, should be provided in guam
tity, and a quart of this should be
put in the bed-pan or vessel each
time before it receives the dis
charges, and should be we'll stirred
and allowed to stand in the vessel
at least an hour before it is buried
An equivalent solution of creolin,
or thick white-wash made from
the fresh quicklime, may be used
In the same way when the chloride
of lime can not be obtained, but
with these at least two hours will
be required to complete the disin-
| lection.
3 Soiled bed or body linen
should remain in the chloride of
lime solution for an hour, and may
then be safely put in the family
wash. Soiled paper or clothes used
about the patient should be imme-
diately burned. Attendants should
! wash the hands frequently, and the
lips, ana rinse the mouth always
before eating. No one should par
take of any food which has stood
in the sick room. All of these pre-
cautions should be continued until
the recovery is complete and until
all diarrhea has ceased.
4. Typhoid fever is not contag-
icns IL the sense commonly under
stood, and If the precautions above
Indicated are faithfully and intelli
gently carried ont, a case may be
treated in any family or community
with perfect safety. If others have
the disease, it will be because they
were infected from the same source

as the patient, or contracted it else
where. The same precautions
should be observed in dysentery
and all other diarrheal diseases, in
GLIDING summer complaint in chill
dren.
5. All well water and unfltered
water from rivers draining inhab-
tied areas, where typhoid fever and
diarrheal diseases are likely to &C.
cur at any time, and milk tored in
cans or vessels washed in such
water, should be looked upon as
suspicious, and should always be
boiled before it is drunk by any one
not immune from typhoid fever. In
the absence of a reliable, filtered,
public water supply, carefully col
lected and properly stored, cistern
water is safest.
6. The windows and doors of all
dwelling houses, and especially of
the kitchen and dining room,
should always be we'll screened, and
the flies actually kept out. Unless
this is done, carelessly managed
case Of typhoid fever, or other di-
arrheal disease even mile or more
away, may be source of danger on
account of flies AS mosquitoes are
now known to be the carriers of
malaria, the same precautions will
protect from this poison also.
The universal and effectual prac-
tice of these precautions would re-
quire intelligent care and some ex-
pense, but would result in the prac-
tical disappearance of one of our
most common and fatal domestic
pestllences, Wnlcn is not only q dis
grace to our civilization, but an an
nual scourge and tax upon the PEG
pie of Kentucky in comparison with
which yellow fever and cholera,
plague and other exotic diseases so
feared by our people sink into in
significance.

90 Cent Wheat.

The Franklin county mills sell
ing Hour IN this place have ad-

aud wheat has gone up to 90 cents.
The unusual demand for the
cereal is attributed TO the war
situation in the far east. The
wheat supply Of the United States
and Canada on February |, as
shown by official statistics Is the
shortest IN period of five years.
The supply on hand on that date
this year was Ga, 7O2, 900 bushels;
on same date in 1903 it was So.
12l, 900 bushels; IN 1902, S5,321,.
600 bushels; in 1901, 95,O41, 900
bushels and in 1900, 96, 1861 600
bushels. The supply Of this staple
on hand at the time is materially
less than it has been for years
