The Fever.

The yellow fever at New Orleans is
proving to be greater scourge than
at first thought to be likely, and there
IS serious talk of asking that the Uni
ted States Government take entire
charge of the situation New Orleans,
it is now being learned, has done lit
tie or nothing toward taking precau-
tons against an epidemic. 1t is adj
mitted that the French market region
was Il q most ucsac;ta-y condition,
and now local authority is apparently
not well enough respected to enforce
necessary measures.
The press of the country is dispos-
ed to censure New Orleans for its
carelessness in the beginning of the
outbreak, and for its lack of proper
sanitary measures. This may be we'll
deserved, but it does no good 1t has
been many years since New Orleans
has had fever epidemic and after
the manner of American cities in gen.
eral-it manifestedly wearied in we'll
doing and gradually became neglect
ful of sanitary measures. After our
formal declaration against Cuba as to
the consequences to it of an unsani-
tary Havana, TO have our own great
Southern city the seat OF the plague,
is a reproach to us as a nation in the
eyes of the world

This Man is Rich.

Once in New England, says a writ
er in the Outlook l was driving with
an old farmer, and some of the men
of the neighborhood came under criti-
cism Speaking of a prominent man
in the village, l asked, rs he man
of means?"
Well, Sir" the farmer replied, "he
amt got much money, but he's nigh
ty rich"
"He has a great deal of laad, them"
| asked.
No, sir, he amt got much land,
neither, but still he is mighty rich"
The old farmer, with a pleased
smile, observed my puzzled look for
a moment, and then explained.
You see, he amt got any money,
and he amt got mitch land, but still
he is rich. because he never went to
bed owing any man a cent in all his
life He lives as we'll as he wants
to live, and he pays as he goes; he
doesn't owe anything and amt afraid
of anybody; he tells every man the
truth, and does his duty to himself,
his family, and his neighbors, his
word is as good as a bond, and every
man, woman and child in the town
looks up to him and respects him. No
sir he amt got mich money, and he
amt got much land, but still he is a
mighty rich man because he's got all
he needs and all he wants"
l assented to the old farmers de-
auctions, for | thought him entirely
correct. When a man has all he
needs and all he wants he is certainly
rich. and when he lacks these things
he is certainly poor.

DOG DAYS HERE.
Weather Man so Says, But Science
Disproves.

The dog days are here-the period
of the year when men and dogs pa
rade the streets with tongues lolling
at full length is at hand; those de-
lightful times when the earth sizzies
with sickening sound. The weather
man says so, and the weather man
knows.
Every normal person remembers
time when life seemed shorn of all
its romance and all beauty Then
existence seemed but dreary nionot-
onous round of drudgery 1t was
when the awful fact was known that
there was no Santa Claus. So it is
with dog days. Generation after gen.
Grafton of humanity have died happy
in the belief that dog days were when
dogs went mad Now however, cruel
science tells us that it is not the faith
full friend of man, but only simple,
prosaic star, Sirius, or Alpha CAMS
Major, which gives its name to the
sultry days we all dislike so cordial
ly.
The observing ancients discovered
after careful deliberation, that the
sweltering summer days came when
the star Sirius was in its ascendency,
and they named the days after the
star Dog" For centuries the name
has refused to be separated from the
days.

No Danger in Indiana.

'All talk of the Indiana state health
board establishing quarantine
against the yellow fever districts, is
absurd, says DR.. Hurry, secretary OF
the board.
1T is practically impossible FOR the
contagion to be started here. The
disease can only be carried by the ste
omyria, and we have none in this
state, further, it would be practically
impossible for them to be brought
to Indiana in a train, hence we need
have no fear" DR.. Hurry said that
these stegonyria Ga kind of mosqui-
to- are sometimes carried in coast
ing vessels in the fruit cargo, but that
they are not carried long distances in
railroad coaches.
IF yellow fever case, contracted
in the infested district, would develop
here, there would be no danger of the
disease spreading. The case would
be isolated, and there being no me-
dunn of carrying the infection, no
new cases would develop.
Jumping from yellow fever to state
sanitation, DR.. Hurry said: The san
itary conditions about most of the
railroad stations is bad" He says
the state board is now going to take
up the question to improve the sani-
tary conditions of the toilet rooms
for the stations, especially in small
towns.
Our efforts have been very sue
cessful, SO far" continued DR.. Hurry,
Gust last week we had the assurance
that the toilet facilities at Rome City
would be improved by the railroad
company there. We have met with
no refusals to better conditions. and
we expect to have but little trouble.

Rabbis Discuss Marriage.

Springfield, Mass.,-The united or
thodox rabbis, at their meeting, held
long discussion on assimilation of
the Hebrew by the Anglo-Saxon, par
ticularly in regard to marriage cere-
monies. 1t was generally expected
that definite discussion of the mar
riage of J. G. Philip Stokes with Rose
Pastor of New York, Jewess, would
result from this meeting, but the rab-
bis declared that no individual cases
were taken up and that the evil, as
they regard it, was only taken UP in a
general way.
The memorial services for Dr. Her

and John Hay, late secretary of State,

Lightning Strikes a String of Box.
Cars

There was fire at Hanna, Ind,
Sunday that did considerable damage
to Pennsylvania railroad property.
During the electric storm lightning
struck cut of box cars standing on
siding and in a few minutes they
were blazing. The storehouse for one
of the breweries caught fire from the
cars and also went up in fans. The
facilities for extinguishing fires are
very limited in the town and the fire
had to burn itself out. All the cars
that could be reached were shifted
out of the path of the flames.

PIED THE FORM
TO GET REVENGE

FINDLAY, O., June 5.-As Aaron
Hurr student of Findlay college, en-
tered his classes Saturday he was met
with laughter from his fellow STU
dents. The cause is said to have been
his shaved head and painted face.
Hurr, who failed from Pennsylvania,
was informed Thursday that there
would appear in the News, college
publication, the announcement of his
marriage. AS there is to be no mar
riage Mr.. Hurr became enraged and,
entering the pressroom at the college.
destroyed the entire edition Of the
paper. Friday morning about 20
masked students appeared at Hurr's
house and. dragging him from his
bed took him to the gym. There they
shaved his head and it is said painted
his face with iodine. The college au-
thorities promise to punish the cul-
prits If they can be discovered.

The box was packed with dynamite,
just room enough being left for a re-

to the trigger. The trigger in turf,
was fastened to the sliding lid, so
that it could be fired when the box
was opened. Had not the string
broken when the boy opened the box
he would have been blown to pieces.
