of Yellow Fever There.

Y. Chilvers, the New Orleans electri-
clan who was taken TO the Las Anlmas
fever hospital, has been diagnosed as
yellow fever
The Spaniard who was stricken sat
urlal aud isolated in the Clerks hos
piill died there last night.
There are now two cases Of yellow
fever at the Las Anlmas hospital and
one suspect. a Spanish woman, who is
under observation.
Permission has been received from
the health authorities at New York to
ship the body Of A. H. Outwater who
died Saturday night, victim OF the
fever, TO his former home at Passaic
y. J.
1t has developed that the opening Of
a number OF cases OF electrical ap-
psratus from New Orleans which were
consigned TO firm in the Payret
theater building liberated many mos
quitees. The first person 10 be attack
ed by yellow fever here was a meMber
Of an opera company playing at the
Payret theater.
All OF the other cases have originated
in this vicinity. and this gives color to
the theory that the mosquitoes from
New Orleans carried the Infection.

ng upon him the opportunity Of taking
financial interest in the oil business OF
the state. This recognition of Mr.
Lawson was a shrewd move to use his
antagonism to Standard Oil interests
20 bring eastern capital 10 their as
sistance
Now all Kansas is aroused The
state legislature has appropriated
s40O. 900 for the erection of a refinery,
a penal institution will be erected close
by it in order that the cheapest labor
may be brought into the competition:
and the legislature has further ad-
dressed the president in protest against
the renewal Of the lease on the Foster
lands" in the Usage Indian reservation
now under lease TO a stool pigeon OF
the big monopoly. This tract is said
to have 500 acres of wonderfully oil
rich land. Dealers all over the state
have agreed not to use Standard Oil
oil or by-products. The big corpora
ton. now paying $40 dividends to its
stockholders. maintains lobby in To-
peka; but the lobby Of the oil produc-
ers is more powerful, for the Kansan
who would oppose the vast oil interests
Of his state would probably regret # in
the near future
President Roosevelt has accepted the
invitation Of the Kansans 10 look into
the matter and has ordered Commits
sioner Garfield to investigate the Stand
ard Oil company and its methods.
II will thus be seen that the Standard
Oil company. after keeping out of trou-
bic for 80 years. has made the mistake
of arousing the ire of Kansas. a fighting
state with fighting legislature.
