At a joint meeting of the Board
f A ldarman and Rnard of Haalth

At a joint meeting of the Board
of Aldermen and Board of Health
held Monday night at the council
rooms, Il quarantine was estab-
lished against New Orleans and
Bunkie, La, on account Of the
reported prevalency of yellow
fever at those places, and it is in
tended that the quarantine shall
apply to all other points liable to
Infection. Guards have been
placed at every road leading into
town and at the depot to prevent
anyone entering the limits who
cannot produce the proper health
certificate. On Tuesday afternoon
many persons who had come up
on the train were prevented from
stopping here owing to their hay
ing come from one or the other
of the places quarantined against,
among them some of our own citi-
zens. Paul Castanado, Il drum
from New Orleans, though warned
that he could not stop here, at
tempted to avoid the guards, but
was detected and arrested, and
subsequently fined ten dollars and
sent out of town.

a 5-mill tax for ten years, not to
exceed 800 in any one year, and
free depot grounds, and pledging
them to assist the company in Sc
curing free right-of-way through
the parish. The Leesville branch

State Superintendent of Educa-
ton J. B. Aswell visited the sum-
mer normal school being conduc-
ted here under the direction of
Prof. E. +. Gayle last Tuesday,
and delivered an address to the
assembled teachers and visitors.
Mr.. Aswell took for his theme the
elevation and improvement of the
teaching profession and the need
of adequate safeguards for the
protection of the teachers against
competition with unskilled and
incompetent people who cheaper
and bring discredit upon the pro-
fession. The address was deliv-
cred in Mr.. AswelPs usual force
full style, and from the manner in
which it was received, it is evil
dent he touched upon a subject
of much interest to the teachers,
| and that they were in thorough
accord with the views expressed
and remedies suggested by him
Mr.. Aswell left the same after
noon for Bastrop.

Yellow Fever.

The news of several cases of
yellow fever in New Orleans and
a case at Bunkie prompted our
Board of Aldermen and Board of
Health to take prompt measures
for the protection Of our town
and parish against the disease,
as will be seen by the proceedings
of those bodies published in an
other column. Under the cir
cumstances there is no reason for
our people getting alarmed or
excited over the situation, as every
reasonable precaution will be
taken by our constituted author
tiles to prevent the introduction
of the disease here. New Orleans
is taking rigid sanitary measures
to stamp out the disease and pre-
vent it's spread, and under the CO.
operation of the U. S. Marine
Hospital Service, the State Board
of Health, the Parish Medical
Society and the City Board of
Health, there are good reasons
to hope they will succeed.
According to the report of the
City Board of Health of New Or
leans, made on the 25th, there
had been, up to that date, ia
cases of suspicious and positive
yellow fever, and 81 deaths re-
sulting therefrom. On the 26th
six more deaths were reported
and eleven new cases, though un-
officially nineteen new cases were
reported.
The only cases of yellow fever
reported outside of New Orleans
were one at Bunkie, an Italian

liberally around the premises ane
drain off all cesspools and low
