Pierre, S. D., May 3.-Farming in
South Dakota has certainly taken some
big strides this season, this being one
of the earliest and most favorable sea-
sons for seeding known in the history
of the state. Thousands Of acres were
sown to wheat in March, and while the
good work still goes on, a good many
are now "even this early" planting
corn. and it s common conclusion that
good corn can be raised anywhere in the
state. In fact, those who have persist
ed in raising corn and hogs along with
small grain, are the ones who have the
big bank accounts today, and they fare

spoke in advocacy of this amendment,
holding that it was just and equitable.
Mr. Rhoades on behalf of the tele-
phone people stated that the company
proposed to establish and maintain an
exchange in Hamilton that would be
open night and day; that will connect
with both the long distance and rural
systems and which will necessitate an
expenditure of $4,000 and will furnish
employment for superintendent, one
line-man and two operators. He said
that this plan would fall through and
the exchange would not be esta blshed

sisted upon.

From the 81. IL RepablIc.

Since the year 1878, when yellow fever
invaded 1872 cities and towns OF the
Southern States and caused II, 1,954
deaths within the space of five months,
the United States have been compara-
lively free from the disease.
New Orleans, Mobile and other Gull
Coast ports have suffered from the raw
ages Of the plague at different periods
since, but the number Of deaths has
meyer been large.
Five years after the signing Of the
Declaration of independence, almost to
the month, yellow fever made its first
appearance in the United States at
Boston.
During the summer more than 400
deaths occurred in Boston, but the dis
ease disappeared with the coming of
winter.
New Orleans has suffered to q greater
extent than any other American city,
although Baltimore, early ii the nine
teenth century, was seized with several
epidemics.
NEW ORLEANS EPIDE3ICs.
Beginning with the year 1919, when
careful records Of the disease were first
kept by the authorities Of the Crescent
City, the deaths in the greatest cpl
denies were as follows:

Biloxi Schools will Open.

The Biloxi schools will open on the
third Monday in September, the 18th
day of the month, one week later than
the Bay st. Louis schools.
The Biloxi Herald says: This deci-
sion was reached at meeting of the
school board Tuesday night, at which
every member was present.
Capt. L. r. Bowen, member Of the
board, arrived in the city with his fam
lily the past week from Hot Springs, via
Mobile, and was one of those who IA
vored opening.
Prof. Owings has heard from nearly
all Of the teachers, and they have ex-
pressed their willingness to come te
Biloxi. A great majority of them are
in Mississippi and can get here vis
Mobile.
Mayor Bradford said that the city
would screen the schools, if, in the
opinion of the school board, it became
necessary to do so.
The janitors were instructed to clear
up the school buildings and to fumigat'
them on the Saturday before schoo
opens.

Scattering figures from Texas and
other points in the Southern States not
included in this table bring the official
total to 1855 deaths. The number Of
cases We're estimated at 400.
GREAT PLAGUE AT NORFOLK.
The twin cities Of Norfolk and Ports
mouth, Va, suffered an epidemic OF
yellow fever in the SUNNY Of 1855
which caused 1902 deaths and almost
depopulatol the two cities. So great
was the fear Of the disease that people
deserted their relatives who were lying
at the point Of death and fled to the
north.
Physicians left their patients and
Joined in the flight,
All communication with other cities
was severed, and the fugitives made
their way on foot. For many days cof-
fms were not procurable, and there were
barely enough persons remaining to
bury the dead.
Butchers and all persons working
about slaughter houses, garbage clean
ers and men engaged in all sorts of un-
cleanIy work, and the grave diggers,
enjoyed an almost universal immunity
from the disease, and Of G5 men engaged
in conveying bodies to the cemeteries
and in cxcavating the graves but one
contracted yellow fever, and the case
was not fatal.
YELLOW FEVER IN TEXAS.
Galveston and the southern and south
western parts of Texas were swept by
an epidemic Of yellow fever in the sum-
mer OF 1861, which caused 1850 deaths
in Galveston alone. Other cities suf-
fored extensively, but no record OF the
number of deaths was kept.
The southwestern border Of Texas
and northwestern Mexico have passed
through numerous yellow fever plaques,
but the great epidemic which caused so
many deaths in Louisiana, Alabama,
Mississippi and Tennessee did not gain
foothold in the Lone Star State, and
the northern part of the State has al
ways enjoyed immunity.
Shreveport and Memphis suffered
from yellow fever in 1873, there being
75g deaths in Shreveport and 1900 in
Memphis.
The epidemic of 1853, which brought
death to more than 5000 persons in New
Orleans, was disastrous to four other
southern cities.
There were / ,191 deaths in Mobile,
500 in Vicksburg. l65 in Lake Provi-
dence, La. aud 1l2 at Jackson.
Philadelphia became affected in the
same year, and t2s persons died Of yell
low fever.
The rate OF mortality varies with each
epidemic.
In the plague of 1898 it was estimated
at about four in seven. In 1873 it was
estimated to be about one in five, and
physicians believe that the latter ratio
| is a good average.
Negroes are not immune, as has been
frequently asserted. The fQll-blooded
negro, however, is rarely seriously af-
fected by the disease, and the mortality
rate is low.
Among people of european birth the
disease IS especially disastrous.
Scandinavians and all races of n orth
ern Europe are especially liable to con-
tract the disease, and the death rate is
higher among them than wish any other
race.

The disease was carried by sailors
from Baltimore to Cadiz, Spain, and in
the autumn 5000 persons died.
In 1920 yellow fever appeared as far
North as Middleton, Com, and twenty
eight persons died. Philadelphia's ia
talities in the same year were forty-fiYe;
New York one hundred and fifty and
Baltimore eighty-five.
2.0S6 DEATHS IN NEW YORK.
The plague swept the Atlantic Sea-
ports in the years 1883 10 179S, and 1t
has since been positively identified by
medical experts as the yellow fever,
causing 2,0S6 deaths in New 1org dur
inc the summer of 1898. Philadelphia
had 1911 deaths from yellow fever in
1893, and 3,645 deaths from the same
disease in f79S.
Baltimore's death list in the summer
of 1874, contains $50 names, and in lSo0
the fatalities were 1, 1877.
In the same year in which Baltimore
fatalities passed the thousand mark,
yellow fever caused 2l,000 deaths in
Cadiz, Spain.
In 1904, Spain suffered one Of the
greatest epidemics of yellow fever IN
its history. The total fatalities from
the disease reached 124,0O0. Cartha-
gena had 1870 deaths, Gibraltar 1864
and Malaga IL ,486.
GREAT EPIDEMIC OF 1873.
The greatest epidemic of 1873 which
swept through the Southern States,
probably caused greater loss OF life
than any other single outbreak OF dis
ease in the history of the country.
The following table of deaths was
compiled from Official reports kept dur

deaths in st. Louis, Chicago and Pitts
