to send DR.. Esdorf to Tallulah.
The number of eases reported here
in the past tWenty-four hours is the
smallest for many weeks, but the pub
lie is disposed to believe that the ia.
Vorable record is due to the fact that
the Sunday inspection is not as thor
ough as it is on week days, and a
considerably larger number of cases is
looked for today. Nevertheless. the
situation is regarded here as most ex
cellent. and it is universally believed
that while the fever will not have
been wiped out on the 1st of October
it will be in declining state at that
time Conditions in the country are
more acute, because people of prom
inence in their communities are be-
ginning to fall victims. Among the
deaths at Lake Providence are division
Foreman w. E. HOux, Of the railroad
at that point, and Captain V. H. Purd

over the Santa Fe at o'clock Sunday
afternoon on what is expected to be a

hours quicker than the run has ever
been made.
In addition there is an agreement be-
tween Scott and the passenger depart

pany is to forfeit $40 per minute for
every minute they run over the spe-
Gifted As hours up to total OF $1,000.
On the other hand Scott is to pay the
company $40 per minute for every min

Taught habits OF Fru9ality

One Of the peculiarities about the
military service in Germany is the
paternal interest that the officers are
required to take in the frugality Of
the men. The pay Of the soldier is
only 6 cents a day, but the army regu-
lations guard it jealousy. Each man
is expected to keep his money in a
little bag suspended from a string
around his neck, and any officer dur
ing inspection may demand to have
the bags opened and their contents
shown. If it be found that a soldier
is spending his pay too freely he is
reprimanded and punished. He is
compelled to make his pay cover his
expenses.
