GRADUAL lNcREAsE IN DEATHS
AND NEW cAsEo OF FEVER
AT NEW ORLEANS.
RADICAL QUARANTINE REGULATIONS
RAILROAD TRAFFIC SERIOUSLY
INTERRUPTED EY MEAS
uRES IN FORCE.

New Orleans, Aug. 5.-The report
and seventeen new cases of yellow
fever in this city up to noon seemed
to presage a considerable increase
over the previous days report, which
stands as the record mark for twenty
four hours during the present invasion
of the plague In the natural order OF
things the deaths must increase with
such large number of new cases
and a large death list is therefore but
a sequence, the reports of new cases
being the indicator of the progress OF
the disease.
No reports of new cases or deaths
anywhere in the South outside of New
Orleans have been received and the
assertion seems warranted that the
authorities in those widely scattered
localities outside of New Orleans
which have found sporadic cases have
the situation well in hand.
Outside of the fever itself the con-
ditions brought about by the strict
quarantines are serious and are felt
in every line of commercial life. The
railroads are badly handicapped and
In many instances are unable to move
passengers, the mails or freight. The
Southern Pacific railroad has its en-
tire service on the main line discon-
tinued because one parish In Louis
lana refused to permit trains OF any
kind to pass through, night or day.
Train service on the Louisville and
Nashville and other railroads is also
disturbed.
Though the armed forces of Missis-
sippi and Louisiana have been in
touch for twelve hours no reports OF
sanguinary collision have reached
here from the Rigolets. The situa.
tion is not regarded as acute.

At the pervious trial the jury was
discharged after deliberations which
lasted almost two days.
During the trial just concluded the

Of the jury to arrive at a verdict Is a

RAILROAD TRAFFIC STOPPED.
Extreme Measures Taken to Guard
Against Yellow Fever.

New Orleans. Aug. 5.-Extreme
measures which some of the country
districts are taking to guard them
selves from yellow fever threatens to
put a stop to train service and may
bring the federal government into the
fever situation in the South. The
most radical action thus far taken is
that of the police jury of Calcasieu,
the second largest parish In the state.
1t has passed resolutions ordering
that all traffic, travel and intercourse
between Calcasieu and points east,
north and west shall cease at once
and that no one shall be permitted to
enter the limits of the parish until
further orders. In consequence of
this resolution the Southern Pacific
has been ordered to run no more
trains through Calcasieu, which means
an abandonment of the through serv-
ice of the line to the West. The Wat
kins trains and the Kansas City
Southern trains have also been
stopped. 1t is understood that the
quarantine in day or two will be ex-
tended to all freight trains. The ef-
feet Of the orders is to stop all mail
service into or through Calcasieu.
Radical Precautions General.
Rapidas has shut her doors to
everything except mail and fuel oil.
At Mermenteau, La, shots were ex-
changed between guards and a negro
who was trying to run the quarantine.
Grant parish has instituted shotgun
quarantine, stopped all trains and
shut herself off completely from mail
service. Lafayette. La, has issued or
ders that only mail and disinfected
freight shall come into that parish.
Tensas parish has quarantined all
baggage, household goods,
fruit and fabrics. Precautions as rad
ical as these have been taken in many
other sections of the South and there
is apparently as great panic now
prevailing as at any time during 1897,
the bulk of the country laymen refus-
Ing to put their faith In the mosquito
theory
Although the report OF fifty-fOur
new cases in the preceding twenty
four hours would ordinarily have
to cause alarm here people
find assurance In the analysis Of the
detailed report made by the board of
health. 1t is shown that Of the fifty
four new cases twenty-nine were root
ed out of concealment by Surgeon
of the Marine hospital
service and his assistants. The area
Of infection is increasing below Canal
street, but the disease is making fee

BLOOD WILL TELL.

1t takes lots of vitality, nervous force and
strength to win race. Blood must be
pure and good.
Without good red blood a man has .
weak heart and poor nerves. Thinness Of
the blood, or anerria, is common in men
and young women, and all those who work
indoors, who do not get enough good OK
ygen in their lungs, consequently have too
many white blood corpuscles.
Keep the nerves nourishcd, the heart
strong, the head cool, the stomach vigorous,
the liver active with a tonic which has
stood the test of time and has wide rcpu-
tation, such as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Tonics consisting of large portions of
alcohol, iron or cod liver oil, do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
siiey do not enter the system and are not
absorbed into tho blood, with the excep-
ton of the alcohol, which shrivels up the
red blood corpuscles when it does come in
contact with them. Therefore do not allow
the dealer to insult your intelligence by
telling you lie has something better than

GENERALIZATION SUSPECTED.
Experts Will Inspect Real Estate
Holdings Of Equitable Life.

New York. Aug. 5.-Two experts
have been appointed by President
Paul Morton to value every piece OF
real estate In which the Equitable
Life Assurance society has an inter-
est, says the Tribune He Is stated
to have taken this action when he re-
ceiyed the reports OF expert account
ants. These reports. 1t Is alleged, In
dicate the possibility Of generalization.
The society owns In this country and
abroad real estate valued at approxf-
mately $4,000, 900. According to the
Tribune 1t Is thought possible that
this amount will have to be reduced.
while the valuation on parcels on
which loans are outstanding may
have to be reduced by at least 10 per
cent. The last report 70 the state
insurance department gave the value
az real estate owned BY the society at
13e.ssb.6l7.

execution. Several states, notably
California, have number of CO.
operative retail stores and they seem
TO be most prosperous and successful.
The Litchield Saturday Review has
the following to say regarding the do
tails OF the organization: -,
Mr.. Rygh would organize . county

plans furnished by the Right Relation
ship Leagueof Chicago, which IL .
onAlls1EgAniz zatioa not for profit,
teach: md: promote CO,

tlon ID based upon equality of owner
ship, responsibility, authority and
privilege. Shares are placed 1t face
value, preferably 600, and each per-
son may own but one. The plan Is to
buy stores already running and en-
ploy ~ managers experienced men,
preferably those from whom the busi-
ness has Deen purchased. Each share
holder 10 paid q given per cent per
annum on account If his capital stock.
and the rest of the, net profits each
year are divided among the members
IN proportion TO their purchases. All
members with reference to each other
and the association stand on IN alb
solutely equal footing.
In addition to the retail association,
there are a number of cooperative
Wholesale associations conveniently
scattered over the United States, all
organized upon the Same plan and to
which only retail stores are admitted
to membership. Members pay regular
Wholesale prices for what they buy
from their own Wholesale store, and
the profits, after all expenses are paid
including the dividends on stock, are
divided among the retail stores in
proportion as each store has by ito
purchases helped to create said profits.
