Twain, which have created so much
CONSERVATION among the metropolitan
libraries, were in such constant demand
here that the bindings Of each book
became loose and worn, and rather
than invest in new covers the library
board decided to take the books out of
circulation.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES

The precautionary measures being
taken by DR. Egan, Secretary Of the
State Board Of Health. as explained At
length in the news columns of the Bull
letln this morning, win commend
themselves to every citizen, While he
admits that the possibility Of yellow
fever spreading into Illinois is very
remote DR. Egan does not propose 20
take any chances and has adopted
la course which practically assures the
impossibility Of the disease reaching
this far north. Dr Egan does not
conaler Cairo apart from the balance
liz the Southern part Of the state and
he certainly shows excellent Judgment
in drawing his lines to cover the terri
TRY prescribed.
While no apprehension has been felt
as to danger in this city it will be a
matter OF relief 10 know that refugees
may moi stop here. AS Cairo is located

for all sections south of the Ohio river

official recognizes this fact.

AS TO AMOS.

In New York the American Civic As
.ociatien. through its President. J.
Horace Mcfarland. is circulating prae-
teal information on the subject of san
itatlon in its various branches, its last
being in relation TO the most effective
way of getting rid of the mosquito, a
precaution valuable as well outside Of
the yellow fever zone as in It. For
while there may be no danger from the
yellow fever species outside of the
eircumscrbed sphere, the malarial
mosquitoes are prevalent in Cairo as
elsewhere and constitute an active
agency in the promotion OF malarial
fevers, as well as annoyance other.
wise In giving practical instructions
for the determination OF these pests,
a late paper 10 housekeepers contains
some good advice. If you are troubled
with mosquitoes remember that some
where within coo yards Of your house
you viii find the female mosquito lay
ing her eggs in some of these places:
In some place of standing water;
IN a cesspool;
"A sewer inlet;
A rain water barrel;
"A horse trough;
"A roof gutter that IS elogged;
An empty bottle;
An old tin can;
Broken crockery that holds water
"A water pan for dog, cat CT chick

"A water receptacle for a grind
stone;
"A hole in a tree;
"A watering pan for birds;
"A garden fountain;
Amy place, in fact where water
stands for five days or more One
tomato can in shady spot, with wat
,r in it, has been found to breed sufft
cient mosquitoes ia keep a family I'M
aappy all summer"
The following advice is given for
preventing the propagation Of mosqui-
toes when such conditions exist:
Clean out every place where water
stands.
$50 dispose of old tin cans, bottles
Or what not that rain cannot pos
iibly be retained
Watch your roof cutters.
Empty your rain barrel of water
svery week or screen IL closely with
ane-meshed wire on top.
Change the water every day in a

Watch the watering trough near

Profiting by the mistakes of the mutt
neers at Cronstadt, however, those at
Sebastopol took particular care to
adopt measures to prevent their meet
ing degenerating into a drunken riot,
and so far as known both the mutt
neers and the workmen in the port
have comported themselves in a per-
fectly orderly fashion.
There is a strong impression here
that intelligent leaders are at the head
of the movement. 1t is also evident
that the sailors at Cronstadt have had
underground information of what was
happening at Sebastopol. because Sat-
urday morning before the news was
known in st. Petersburg reports of
the mutiny were freely circulated at
Cronstadt.
Threats by BiriIeff
Vice Admiral Birileff, minister of
marine, had issued a formal order
threatening with arrest and the Sc
verest punishment under the law all
tl-ose who circulated reports of the
mutiny.
In both cabinet and naval circles it
is regarded as absolutely vital that
the mutiny be crushed in the severest
fashion at any cost if discipline In the
navy is to be restored and the army
held loyal.
In the event of the sailors of Vice
Admiral Chouknins ships remaining
loyal, they will cooperate with the
troops of the Seventh corps from Sim
feropol. The problem of hemming in
the mutineers and subduing the re-
volt is stated by naval officers to be
comparatively easy. The marine bar
racks lie at the extremity of mar
row tongue of land jutting out be-
tween the southern roadstead and
what is known as the "ships bay"
The barracks of the Bielostok regi-
ment are at the very neck of the pen
insula nesting under the shelter of
the famous Maakoff hill. barring the
route to the city, which lies on the
southern side of the roadstead oppo-
site the quarters of the sailors The
warships could enter the roadstead
and 'Ships bay" practically surround
the mutineers on three sides and bat
ter their barracks down about their
ears. The forts of Sebastopol lie west
and south Of the city and along the
north shore of Sebastopol bay and only
the guns of Fort Constantine, which
defend the entrance to the roadstead,
could be brought to bear upon the bar
racks.
