FEVER AT PANAMA.

problem which confronts the American
authorities in the Panama canal zone,
according to a statement given out by
John Barrett the American minister 10

steamer Advance from Colon.

five cases of yellow fever at Colon
alarming he says, because up to the
time these cases were reported no yell
low fever had appeared there, and j.
was hoped that the situation was in

Difficult Problem Presented
Il do not believe in deceiving the pub
lie in these Matters" said Mr.. Barrett
1T IS far better that the truth should
be known Existing conditions Oh the
ISthmuS present many difficulties, and,
while it is not a case for pessimism, it
IS not the engineering, it is not the adj
mlnlstratiOn problem that is confronting
lis. These are of secondary consideration
to the problem Of health and sanitation.
Here we have engineering problems that
have been solved elsewhere and can be
met but the sanitation problem is new
and presents many difficulties. The eli
mate IS against us and is ever present.

Yellow Fever Alarms.
can alarming condition is the report
of five cases Of yellow fever in Colon.
1t IS alarming because up to the time
these cases were reported no yellow
fever had appeared and it was hoped
that the situation was in hand. Con-
sidering the enormous number of canal
employees on the isthmus, very small
percentage of illness prevails, but you
know how these things are. If one-haIf
were sick with malaria nothing would be
thought of it, but if q case or two of vel
low fever appears all the employees want
to quit and get away. | believe these
sanitary and health problems will be mss
successfully, but they far oyershadow ali
others.

a national investigation of the insurance

The inquiry into the beef trust and the

This request was made by W. i.
King, former president of the Mer-

written the President as a policy holder
in several companies, asking that such
an investigation be made under the III

Should this course be deemed not prac-

appoint a national commission on the
lines of the coal commission, which set
tied the anthracite strike, to make an
inquiry and report.

colored rubber overshoe. These rubbers
are, of course, intended to be worn with

mysterious reason, more nearly invisible
on tan shoe, if the shades are the
same, than a black rubber is on a black

Sim Stovall was assassinated at
his home near Edgar on last Sum
day night at about IL o'clock.
Some one hailed at his gate and
inquired how to get into the
Brookhaven road. After being
told by Stovall which way to take,
tho speaker complained Of being
lost and asked StovalI I'd bring
him a match. This request being
complied with, Stovall was shot
down in bis tracks with double
barrelled shotgun, the entire load
taking effect in the left side near
the heart. The victim lived about
80 minutes.

debts. Others were planning to
get the property. There is only

The gathering together of a

ed the handsome table from end
to end, while at each cover rosy
red apples bore dainty little can
dies, shadowed by crimson shades.
Jack-o-Ianterns with their win
ming significance here and there,
made still more vivid the attrac-
tive scene at table. Pumpkins
had been converted into fruit
baskets, and grapes and autumn
leaves added their richness to this
seasonable establishment. The
place cards were red hearts and
red diamonds, decorated with
cats, bats and owls in artistic de-
sign. The favors were dainty
boxes containing witches heads,
chestnuts, marshmallows, which
latter were toasted in the light of
individual candles and Hal
lowe'en rhymes, which caused
much diversion, as did also the
telling of ghost stories in the twi-

shadows of approaching night
drew nearer; and, as though to
dispel some ghostly apparition,
