YELLOW FEVER Is
HELD IN HAND

New Orleans, July 2S.-The health
authorities who are handling the yel-
low fever situation here have now so
thoroughly perfected their organiza'
tion that they feel confident that
every case OF yellow fever. though
not thoroughly developed, will be
promptly reported and placed upon
record.
So thorough has been the inspection
of the city that it is believed every
existing case has been routed out, and
Is now included In the 2O5 cases
which have been announced. Many
of these are on the road to recovery
and 1t is expected that with scientific
treatment the mortality will be re
duced. The most annoying feature OF
the situation now is the disposition OF
practically every town in Louisiana
as in adjoining states, to tighten quar-
antines against this city. One case
has been reported at Tampa, a IA, oi
an Italian refugee from New Orleans
and there are reports of cases in sew
eral parishes of Louisiana.

CAPTAIN A. w. KlMBALL
RETURNS FROM MANILA.

Captain A. w. Kimball former Al
buquerque boy, who was deputy asses
sor of Bernalillo county ten years ago,
but who has been in the Philippine
Islands during the past three years,
accompanied by his family, arrived in
the city last night for a visit with
Mrs. Kimball's parents, Colonel Per
fecto Armijo and wife, who reside on
a ranch a few miles from this city.
Captain Kimball is now connected
with the quartermaster's department,
United States army, and arrived the
first of the week from Manila, where
he has been stationed the past three
years. He Is on a two months leave
of absence and 1t is very probable
that hS will not return to the islands,
but will be stationed at some army
post in this country.
The captain has a host of friends in
this city and they kept him busy to-
day shaking hands. 1t is needless to
say that his stay here will be made
very pleasant

CORN CROP PROMISES
IMMENSELY BIG YIELD

Washington. July 2s.-whiIe re-
ports regarding the outlook for the
wheat crop are considerably at vari-
ance the reports concerning the corn
crop for 1905 are nearly all to the
effect that the outlook is favorable for
large crop. The total estimated acre
age of corn this year is 1926 900
acres, an increase of 100000 acres
over last year. The condition of the
crop the opening Of the month was
SS.4. The harvest will, of course. de-
pend upon growing conditions the re-
mainder of the season. Throughout the
corn belt the crop has so far pro-
gressd nicely.
The oats crop gives every indication
or being up to normal under the
slightly increased acreage. II seems
safe to anticipate a yield aggregating
in the neighborhood of 100000. 900
bushels, but this, of course, may have
to be modified later. The rye and bar
ley outlook is good.

and did SO solicit and obtain the in
surance from the plaintiff, and the
payment of several premiums from
plaintiff on the representations and
promises of defendant made to plain
tiff that each and every policy holder
Of defendant shall at the maturity OF
his policy be credited with and re-
ceive from said defendant an equita-
BILE share of the surplus of defendant
corporation.
The plaintiff claims that he has full
filled his part of the contract fully,
but that the defendant has refused
to fulfill its terms of the contract, al
though the plaintiff has often demand
ed settlement and payment from the
defendant, but that defendant has re-
fused to make any settlement or pay
ment.
Finally, the defendant offered to pay
to the plaintiff the sum of S2,2O0O2
in cash, or would make and deliver
to plaintiff a paid up policy on his
life for the sum of $5,260, or would
pay TO the plaintiff a life annuity of
$3.50 annually. Didier believed that
the sum of cash so offered was less
than the sum justly due him, in fact,
1t was less than the sum actually paid
by him to the insurance company.
However, in a spirit of compromise,
and with a view to avoiding litigation,
Didier says he offered 10 accept a
paid up policy of $500 from the In
surance company, If the company

pany agreed to this, and Didier then
passed a satisfactory medical exam
ination and delivered TO the company
his paid up policy, and application
and note for the said loan, with the
promise and condition that the new
paid up policy and loan would be de-
liyered to him within fifteen days
thereafter.
II is now forty days or more, since
Didier sent them his policy and note,
and he has not received the new pol
Icy or the said cash loan, or even the
return of the old policy. although he
has repeatedly demanded the same.
He then placed the matter in the
hands of Judge Adams.
Didier now asks the court to force
the defendant TO make an accounting,
that the sum which is equitably due
the plaintiff may be ascertained, that
the defendant be adjudged to pay
over said sum to plaintiff in cash,
that if upon said accounting 1t shall
appear, as plaintiff fears, that said
company is insolYent, or that the af-
fairs of said company are not managed
in the interest of the policy holders,
that the affairs of said defendant
company be settled In such a manner
as TO the court may seem equitable
and just to the best interests of the
policy holders.
Mr.. Didier resides at Belen, where
he is well known as a successful fruit
raiser and wine manufacturer. He
has many friends in this city and
elsewhere who will watch his suit
against this assurance society with
great interest.

or SECURING REPRIEvE.

fore the time set for his execution,
"Bluebeard," Johann Hoch, the wife
murdered, had not given up hope of
clemency.
Although there seemed little prob
ability of interference by the state,
as the result of the action of Governor
Deneen, and of the state board of par
dons refusing him further reprieye,
Hoch believed he had yet a chance
for his life.
He slept soundly during the night,
retiring about 10 o'clock. He woke only
once. in the morning about 3 o'clock
and complained of having a feeling
of nausea. After he had been relieved
he retired again and soon feel asleep.
Hoch was cheerful when he awoke
and chatted pleasantly with the prison
guard. AS the time for the hanging
approached, Hoch grew somewhat less
buoyant in spirit and began slowly to
lose the slight hope he had held to.
He reiterated that he was innocent
of murder and would only admit

Some other Facts of Interest.
Hydraulic power from Lake Su-
perior is used in operating the locks.
A pressure of 200 pounds per square
inch is secured In the machinery On
the Poe lock.
The Poe lock can be filled or emp
tied in seven minutes. The Weitzel
lock is smaller but requires as much
time to operate.
Before 1881, when the old lock was
controlled by the state of Michigan,
a toll of 6A cents ton was imposed
to cover repairs and expenses of op-
Grating, but since the locks have been
operated by the federal government
there has been no charge.
Nearly 100 men are employed by the
government in charge of the canal
and the parks, or government grounds
along the water front.
The total operating expenses for
1904 were $93,24S.
Government engineers are making
plans for another widening of the

of which will be about 100000.

Facts About the Canal.
Originally freight and passengers
were transported around the falls
over a portage nearly three miles in
length. The first ship canal construct
ed by Michigan in consideration of a
government land grant of 750,0O0
acres, was completed June 4, 1855. 1t
was little over a mile in length, and
cost $1,000,000. The year before the
canal was built, 12,600 tons of freight
passed over the portage. The year
after the canal was opened showed a
tonnage of 106,296. Since that time
the annual increase has been about
20 per cent. During the season of
1904 the freight that passed through
the canal amounted to 31,546, LOG tons.
The first canal served from 1855 to
1881, when the Weitzel lock was built
to accommodate the larger vessels of
that period 1t was made Bio feet In
length and is still in use..
Between 1887 and 1896 the Poe lock
was built on the site of the old state
lock. 1t is 800 feet in length and has
a chamber 100 feet in width, from end
to end.
The canal since 1892 has been deep
ened to twenty-five feet. The Poe
