New Orleans is now cut off from
the rest of the world by strict quar-.
antine regulations, owing to the prev
alence of yellow fever. The work of
thoroughly cleansing the city has
been inaugurated and emergency hos
pitfalls established. New Orleans is
probably the fithiest city in the
United States and has always been
the breeding ground for yellow fever
germs. 1t is only in recent years
that any attempt has been made to
establish a sewerage system owing
to the engineering difficulties in
volved in gravity and drainage. Much
Of the water used for cooking and
drinking purposes is taken from cis-
terms. Some of the streets are so
foul as to be almost impossible, while
water is allowed to become stagnant,
or is unavoidably SO, in many parts
of the city. Added to these imme-
date conditions the city is surround
ed by lagoons and marshes of decay
ing semi-fropical vegetation, where
millions of mosquitoes are born every
minute. If it has been demonstrated
beyond question that these insects
disseminate yellow fever germs, then
there is little wonder that New Or
leans has frequent visitations of the
plague. The people of New Orleans
cannot lift the city out on to high
and dry land, but much could be done
by the board of health to improve
the sanitary conditions Of the place.

MEMORIAL SERVICES
Decoration Day Fittingly Observed
 in Phoenix.

In common with all patriotic com munities the country over. Phoenix people yesterday assembled to pay fit ting tribute to the memory of the nations soldier dead. and especially those whose final resting place is within this immediate vicinity. Owing to the warm weather here at this season of the year it has been I the usual custom to hold all services in the forenoon and precede every thing by the decoration of the graves at an early hour before the regular exercises begin. Yesterday morning committees of the Woman's Relief corps and relatives and friends of the soldiers who are buried in the Phoenix cemeteries visited those hallowed spots and covered the graves with flowers and evergreen. It was the opinion of all who saw the cemeteries during the day that never before were wno is the time for all good men to the flowers so profusely strewn. Be tween and 10 o'clock in the fore noon the local veterans of all the American wars assembled in veterans hall. the members of the respective or ganizations to themselves, and march ed to the city hall plaza. They were escorted by the Indian School band B company of the national guard, and two cadet companies from the Phoenix Indian school. The Woman's Relief corps also marched from Veterans hall to the plaza along the sidewalks.
 At the plaza the ritualistic service of the Grand Army was read. as also was the famous Gettysburg speech of Abraham Lincoln, this being read by Miss Flora Mills. junior vice com mander. Governor Kibbey was intro duced as the orator of the day and de- livered a pleasing and intensely inter esting address. appropriate to the oc- casiOn. Rev Dr. Lewis Halsey read an original poem of more than passing interest, the words of which are as follows:
 With flowers rare,
 Borne by the fair,
 Columbia decorates each soldiers
 Grave;
 This is his story
 And this his glory
 He gave his life his country's life to
 save.

 Everyone who has catarrh. or even a tendency to catarrh, should use Hyo- mel now, for the benefit will be gained twice as quickly and the disease thor oughly eradicated from the system.
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs but one dollar. and includes neat pocket inhaler, medicine drOpper and sufficient Hyomef for several weeks treatment. The inhaler lasts a life time. and if more Hyomei is needed. extra bottles can be obtained for 50 cents
 In Phoenix there are scores of well known people who have been cured of catarrh by Hyomei. If it does not cure you, II. Goodman will return your money. This is the strongest evidence he can offer as to his faith in the re- medy.

OVERWORKED HIMSELF
The Mental liberation Of J. E. Cap
 finger, an Old PhOenician.

J. F. Caplinger for sorae time em- ployed in the government service at the Tonto dam site was taken into GUS tody yesterday on suspicion of insan- ity. His trouble is supposed to be due to overwork and it is thought that when he has had a few days of proper rest he will be all right. He was seen yesterday afternoon at the sheriffs of
 flee by a reporter for The Republican who knew him several years ago but had not seen him for nine years. Cap finger immediately recognized him and asked about persons who were living here at that time. He regarded his condition as a kind of disagreeable joke and had no doubt that he would be well within d very short time.
 About six months ago he was em- p1oyed in the office of the government works at Livingstone and was later transferred to the hooks at Roosevelt. The work was much more arduous and Caplinger worried over it working un til late at night. He was attacked by insomnia and finally became wild and 1ncoherent He said among other things that he was going to Wash lngton and secure an appointment as supervising engineer and then he would return, discharge MT. Hfll and begin the work all over again and see that 1t was done right.
 The officials at the camp did not be- Iieve that Caplinger's condition would improve there and thought it was bet ter that he return to his home at Louis vile, Ky. He was sent to Phoenix on the pretext that he was suffering of appendicitis and required an operation. In the meantime one of the employees of the service here was directed to look after him and make arrangements for his return home. He came here nearly a week ago and though he is not drinking man he drank consid- erably after his arrival in the city. Tn his condition of mental excitement this made matters worse and yesterday En- gineer Ad Parish of the government service secured his incarceration. It is not likely that he will be detained long.
 Caplinger came to Phoenlx first in 1890 for his health His family in Kentucky is said to be a good one and wealthy. He spent his winters in Phoenix for several years going in the summers to other parts of the country. He put in one summer here however, in getting out a city directory which was perhaps the first one ever issued in Phoenix
