THREE CASES OF YELLOW FEVER
DEVELOP IN LUMBER CAMP
IN MISSOURI.
ALL The VICTIMS ITALIAN LABoRERs
PERMITTED TO SLIP THROUGH
QUARANTINE LINES FROM
MISSISSIPPI.

Gregory, Mo-, Aug. 23.-Three cases
of yellow fever have developed here
within the past twenty-fcur hours. All
are Italians. One victim has died
and the two other cases discovered
are said to be very low.
The three infected Italians, with
four others of the same nationality,
were brought up the river to Gregory
recently from Greenwich, Miss, and
employed at track work by the Bur-
lington railway. Monday one of the
men, taken suddenly i'll, was reported
dying and when physicians called
promptly reported the patient suffer
ing from genuine yellow fever he was
isolated, but died within few hours.
Two more of the Italians were
found to have become infected with
the disease. They also were isolated,
as were. the four other Italians
brought from Mississippi. Excitement
is intense and much indignation is ex-
pressed that the Italians were per-
mitted to slip through the quarantine
lines.
Gregory is a numbering camp on
the Mississippi river fifteen miles
from Keokuk, la.

til last Sunday, proceeding sometimes
only an hour a day under her own

Of storms, in constant danger of fam

water. Sharks and other sea food
were caught and this, with food pro-
vided by a passing steamer, managed
to keep those on board from starva-
ton. After drifting helplessly for
nearly two weeks the captain Of the
Athos abandoned the attempt to make
way under the vessels own steam and
two days later the first offer of aid
was accepted and the Athos was
towed to this port.
Passengers of the Athos on landing
reported that the famine caused small
mutinies among the ships crew Of
eighteen Cinnamon. Trouble first start
ed among the coolies over the dearth
of tobacco and rice. A negro helper
was stabbed during one of the fights
of the hungry crew, but the officers
and passengers were not seriously
menaced.

This is the lesson: When you enter great dry goods emporium, where mill lions of dollars worth of goods are sold every year, the f1oor-wall1er who greets you at the door, the clerk who sells you the goods over the counter, the delivery boy who hands the parcels in at the door,

Talents of Servants.

But 1 must speak to another class of one talented folks They are the house. hold servants, whom the parable of my text mentions by name. They are the servants the tried servants who, as King Solomon expressed it. were born in my house." They grow up under the very eye of their master. Because he felt he could trust them he delivered unto them his precious possessions.
 Let me illustrate the parable The mas ter Is about to leave for the country. All the different men and women about the farm and the fields are gathered into one room The master turns to one and says, John, l will make you responsible for my cattle To another he says, Peter, l will let you tend to the blowing and the sowing To another he says, James, you take care of the sheep and see that their wool Is sheared at the right time" These are all five talented men. Each one is a superintendent of a department and has a large number of employees un- der him. Then. after giving forth some of the two talents and also some of the one talents, at last the master turns to one of his servants. Methinks I see him look at her searchingly, tenderly, loving ly and pleadingly She does not look as though she was a mental genius. But she had a good face. She looks as though she was faithful and true. Then the good master says: Mary, I can give to thee but one talent. That is all thou art able to use. But, oh, 1t Is talent dear to me. I am going to trust to thee my children. While I am away I am going to leave them In thy charge. Thou art to be their nurse. Thou art to remain behind as a household servant" And of all one talented people do you know of any who have greater opportunities of usefulness and greater responsibilities for doing good than tha talented

be fitted over it.
Velvet Russian blouse suits are the
climax of elegance for well dressed
little boys.
Wings, flowers and big bristling
bows ornament the new Fall hats, the
hats themselves being mostly COM

New York have no proper conception
of the natural and physical advan-
tages Of that section of Maryland.
We shall acquaint them of these ad-
vantages. It is my intention, as soon
as all the papers have been signed, to
push the construction of the road with
all possible speed. Although I am
somewhat of railroad builder myself,
| shall let out the. work to subcontrac-
tors on the old principle of so much
profit for SO much work. The money
is ready, the labor can be quickly Sc
cured and the work will be- started at
once. The only important change to
be made it that of making Point Pa
tience, instead Of Drum Point, the
southern terminus of the Baltimore
and Southern Railroad"
Colonel Shute is we'll known among
railroad men in this city; He. is. a
member of the railroad contracting
firm of shute.ssand :Arnold.a No one
could be found to say just what ..finan.
cial interests are back of him, the Col
onel asserting that Shute and Arnold
were able to finance their own topera-
tions. He has great faith in the fu-
ture of Drum Point and believes that
it can be made great manufacturing
center. Colonel Shute stated that he
expected to havessPoint Lookout Road
completed by the. first of next Janu-
ary, and the. Drum Point Road in op-
GRAFTON all along the line. by the first
day of A pril.
The big steamers which are to be
used to connect the two lines at, Point
Esperanza will be built at Drum Point.
if Colonel Shute's plans go through.
The broker who conducted the nege-
tiations for Colonel Shute said that
the papers to be signed Saturday were
of little Importance, as the sale Of the
property had virtually taken place,
and what remained to be done was a
mere formality of the legal transfer.
The only known connection between
the proposed merger of the. Maryland
roads and the Wabash lines is the fact
that the Toledo, Marshall and North
ern Railroad, of which Colonel Shute
is general manager, has a connection
more or less close with the Wabash
at Montpelier, O.; but Colonel Shute
stated emphatically that he did not
represent Mr. Gould in his Maryland
operations, nor was he acting for any
one except the contracting firm of
Shute & Arnold.
