FEVER IN NATCHEz
DREAD Sco3rge Breaks Out
in Mississippi Town.
STARVATION PREVAILS
Twenty Cases Reported by Health Au.

Sunday night at Jackson it was re.
ported to the state board of health by
the local health authorities at Natchez
THAT there were twelve cases Of ye.,
low fever in that city, all of the vic.
tins being negroes except one, a white
woman, Mrs. Einstein, the wife of a
white peddier. It is not stated where
the disease came from, but it is be-
heyed that it was carried over from
Louisiana by negroes. According to re-
ports received in Jackson a good many
people are leaving Natchez.
Sundays record in New Orleans
showed the smallest number Of new
cases since August 6, and the largest
number Of deaths, thirteen, on any day
since the fever made It's appearance,
The unusual number of deaths is
attributed in "a measure to the change
In the weather, Saturday night being
cool and pleasant, In great contrast to
the weather of the preceding week.
The principal news from outside the
city was the announcement from
Natchez Of the discovery of six cases
here, and the attempt to blame New
Orleans for them. This is regarded as
rather strange in view of the fact that
of all the tight guarantees against
New Orleans, Natehez has maintained
che tightest, not even allowing its own
people to enter if they had been near
Now Orleans.
The official report in New Orleans
for Sunday was as follows: New cases

Get Cars.
Some COmplainants Say Empty
Cars Are on Tracks.

It begins to look as though there
are no freight cars In the state of
Kansas. Every mail brings to the
state board of railroad commissioners
a new batch of complaints from peo-
pie who are trying to get cars in
which to ship grain, and who claim
that the railroad companies refuse to
attend to their needs.
Some of them say that the COM
panies have empty cars standing on
the tracks. and will not let anybody
load them. Others say that they have
deposited their one-fourth freight
charges, and filed formal demand for
cars under the reciprocal demurrage
law passed by the last legislature, and
still are unable to get cars.
G. 0. StOtts of Yates Center is one of
those who put I'D a deposit, and says
that the Santa Fe won't produce the
cars. J. D. Harpster of Willis, Kansas.
wants grain cars. Mohett Brothers at
Larned, say that the Santa Fe won't
send cars up to Rozeu on a branch line
to get grain which is ready for ship
ment there. The Murdoch Grain coN-
pany of Clifton claim that empty cars
are standing on the Central Branch
sidetra cks, and that the company re-
fuses to allow them to be loaded, but
has announced its intention of sending
the cars empty down into Arkansas.
