But keokuk Takes Preeautions-Not
Much Change in the Situation at
New Orleans,

Keokuk, Iowa, Aug. 22.-Physlclans
who went to Gregory today reported
no more cases of yellow fever there. Six
Greeks have been removed three-qu
ters of a mile from town and quaran-
tined. The body of the Greek who
died, was buried.
Gregory has been quarantined and
there is much excitement in Clark
county, Mo. It is claimed the Greek re-
Gently arrived there from Natchez,
Miss, and had eluded the yellow fe-
yer quarantine in the south. Mayor
Cameron, of keokuk, as precaution-
ary measure, has warned the officials
of Steamer Silver Crescent that II she
lands at Gregory on her trips between
here and Quincy that she will not be
permitted to continue her landing in
Keokuk. Other measures of caution
will be taken here.

noon since s p. M, Monday, eleven
Total cases to date, 1,457. Deaths, six
Total deaths to date, 211.
Showers today promised some amel-
ioration Of the high temperatures
which have been prevailing, but other
wise there is little change in the yell
low fever situation. Six deaths during
the night promised today's total would
run about equal with that of the pre-
ceding twenty-four hours.
Head Of Fever Committee is Fined.
New Orleans, La, Aug. 22.-Presi-
dent Charles Janvier of the citizens
yellow fever committee was fined in
police court yesterday at his own re-
quest for failure to screen his cistern
and comply with the fever preventa-
tive regulations. When arrested he
promptly screened the cistern, saying
that he had used oil in preference to
the screen. On his first arraignment
he was discharged. Hearing some
complaint, he had himself rearraigned
and asked to be fined.
A pronounced case Of yellow fever
was found in the dock Of the second
city criminal court, and panic ensued
among prisoners, court attaches, and
spectators. The man was taken away,
and the jail and court was promptly
fumigated.
Conditions at Riverside plantation in
ST Marys parish cause some alarm,
sixty cases having been reported from
that point. Three nurses have been
sent there.
The federal authorities are not will
ing to prophesy the complete extermin-
alton Of the disease before frost, but
they predict no repetition Of serious
epidemics. Unusual precautions, un-
der the supervision of the Marine hos
pital service or otherwise will be taken
to prevent a recrudescence Of the few
er next spring.
A vigilant YiSch will be kept when
the winter paSses for any cases which
may then appear here or elsewhere in
the south, and they will be controlled
with no possibility of spreading the in
fection.
In the list Of fatalities two deaths
occurred in the marine hospital They
were sailors Another death was in the
French asylum, where a half dozen
cases have been reported. All the 9TH
er asylums, including that for the in
sane, the converts, and charitable
homes, report their health conditions
excellent.
Numbers of merchants were visitors
to DR.. White yesterday. Their object
was to ask his intercession in the mat
ter of amelioration of the restrictions
imposed against freight by smaller
towns which desire no intercourse with
New Orleans. DIR. White had just re-
turned from Mobile, where the Ala
bama officials were satisfied with DR..
Whites representation, and are indis-
posed to place any restriction against
freight. 1t is expected that many of
the smaller communities will recognize
the harmlessness of receiving mer-
crandise from infected points.
