45 VICTIMS Of
DREAD FEVER
Two Additional Deaths Are
Reported in New
Orleans.
SANITARY CONDITION is BAD
Bulk Of Deaths Occur in the Foreign
Section-Business of City Not Seri.
ously Affected BY Quarantine Ban
Of Other States.

New Orleans, La, July 27.-Six
deaths from yellow fever were re-
corded yesterday up to 6 p. M. maxi.
ing a total to date of forty-fve. The
'2uesday but compiled yesterday is
eleven, making all told to date l65.
There are now nineteen foc of infec-
ton. The organization of forces for
fighting the spread of the infection
and for campaign of education and
practical application of the mosquito
determination plans, has been CON-
cleted and besides 100 men put on as
extras to clean cutters by the city, $50
men are working as part of the sys-
TEN of sanitation. Citizens are being
organized in wards and these warG
clubs will form precinct clubs and
house to house canvass will be
made to assure the screening of every
cistern and the oiling of every cess
pool and water Iond.
The state board of health has adOp-
ted new regulations for fruit shipping
providing that they should remain
six days at sea between the last port
and New Orleans, and requiring FUN
igation at port of departure and fun
igation here after the discharge of
the cargo. The people are convinced
that the infection was brought here
by the fruit steamers, and if it became
necessary to make the regulations
so stringent as to drive them away,
in, no rooplo
tons would be enforced While
handling the present emergency,
some thought is being given to the
future and on all sides there is SEN
timent that nothing shall stand in the
way of future immunity from mos
quito fever. as it is called now.
New Orleans, July 2S.-All the ply
sicians engaged in the battle against
the yellow fever scare yesterday join
ed in expressing their belief that
while the situation has been and is
serious, enough success has already
been achieved in the application of
the methods applied as the result of
the work of the Reed commission in
Cuba to justify the hope that for the
first time in the history of the coun-
try what threatened to he a malig-
nant epidemic of yellow fever will be
STAMPED out before frost comes and
that New Orleans will be spared the
horrors of the epidemics of 1858, 1867
and 1878 here and century ago in
New York and Philadelphia. 1t is the
opinion of DR.. J. H. White. in charge
of the marine hospital forces and OF
the state and local health officials,
that if destruction of the stegomyia
checks the spread of the disease and
enables the gradual eradication Of the
cases in hand and those which may
be expected to appear for some time
to come in the infected sections, the
present visitation of the plague will
have been a blessing in Disguise
since it will have demonstrated the
ability of science to control the most
virulent outbreak of the fever in the
south.
With the cases reported yesterday
the aggregate since July 13 runs close
to 200. Deaths to date number 4G.

WILL NOT RESIGN

London. July 25.-The government
has no intention of resgning in con-
sequence of Thursdays adverse vote.
This was the gist of Premier balfour's
eagerly anticipated statement in the
house of commons yesterday after
noon. Although it had been general
ly recognized that such would be the
decision of the premier there was fe-
the exact terms of his statement The
house was literally packed Every
gallery available to the peers and pub
lie was crowded and there had not
been such an attendance of members
during the life of the present parli-
ament.
Mr. Balfour, who was heartily
cheered by his supporters on rising,
tried the patience of his hearers some
what by long disquisition on how
former administrations had ignored
defeats similar to that On Thursday.
He declared that such incidents had
never been regarded as ground for
resignation or dissolution. and an
nouced that the government did not
propose either to resign or dissolve
parliament because of Thursdays oc.
currence. 5..
The premier said that it would be
a grave evil If the tenure of ministers
was made dependent on such votes

How Twain Got Rich.

Mark Twain says that in his earlier
days he did not enjoy the prosperity
which came later in his career. 1t is
commonly the lot of genius to suffer
neglect at first, and experience did NOT
affect his abiding good nature. In a
conversation with William Dean How.

literature vicissitudes was preached by

''My difficulties taught me some
thrift" he observed. "But I never
knew whether it was wiser to spend
my last nickel for a cigar to smoke
or for an apple to devour."

Howells, shat person of so little de-
cision should meet with so much
worldly success"
Mark Twain nodded very grave
ly.

from the influences of public calmer,

The president is said to handle
the ship of state, but the senate is
the power behind the throne, which
has frequently prevented it's strand
ing.
President Roosevelt is a great
man, beloved by the people and
honored by men of every political
faith, but his judgement is not
infalable. The ninety men who
finally pass upon it, is the organiza-
ton which has made the nation
strong. Presidents come and 60

fore-fathers acted wisely when they

HIS OWN SUCCESSOR.

The prominent part played by
President Roosevelt IN the late
peace conference at Portsmouth has
made his name household word in
almost every nation ON the globe.
The rulers of foreign nations are
saying%o of him that he is greater
than the Office which honors him,
and suggest that in any other coun-
try life term of Office would be
rendered him.
While this is very hattering to
the president it will be remembered
that he declared most emphatically
when elected last fall, that under no
conditions would he be candidate
to succeed himself. This statement
was made in all sincerity and un-
less the people refuse to take him at
his word he will not be a candidate.
The fact is generally recognized
in this country that a president per-
forms his work in q single term, OF
at the outside in years.
He may leave much unfinished
work, as will be the case with
President Roosevelt, but this work
does not always seem as important
in the afterglow of mature in
vestigation, as when in the heat OF
discussion.
The nation just now is in a fer
ment of reform, and the president
is conspicuous as leader along
certain lines. The lower house of
congress, representing the masses,
is with him on every proposition
and but for a conservative senate
many of his railroad theories would
have been placed on tho statute
books at the last session of con-
gross.
But the senate advised modera-
ton and time to investigate, with
the result that the threatened extra
session was abandoned and radical
measures held in check.
The president of the United
States is not potentate, and how
ever popular he may be, the senate,
calm and deliberate, and removed

The models must be accurate, for the

some symbolic meaning. The god

AN ADVANCEMENT ASSOCIATION

The enthusiasm displayed by the
large gathering of business and
professional men as we'll as citizens
of Lancaster generally who at
tended the meeting at the council
chamber Wednesday eve demon
strates the fact that there's going to
be something doing here in the
way of advancement along various
lines, mining il particular ere long.
Is Lancaster, going to get to the
front? Well she is talking the right
steps in the right direction and she
will SOON be in position to bring
about many needed changes for the
betterment of conditions. New activ-
ity is already noticeable in the
mining industry. Several of the
mining properties are being financed
and modern machinery will be in
stalled.
The situation here and through
out the district resolves itself down
to this. The Joplin district is being
worked .sto the limit, and is un-
able to supply the increasing de-
mand for zinc, consequently the
manufacturing world is looking to
us to furnish the ore required. The
price Of jack has jumped from
$4,000 in 1898 to $4,000 in 1905.
New processes have been recently
perfected whereby low grade ore
can be changed to60 per cent grade
at the average cost of 81. 90 per ton,
and the hue and cry of low grade
ore which has been hurled at our
ore for SO many years need be
heard npmore. u
What&has made the phenomenal
success in the Joplin district is the
very thing we must do to get to the
front. One Of the first things
Joplin Md was to connect her min.
ing cai4Rs by railroads, so that in
vestora could reach all the mines
and prospects conveniently and the
mines were thus gwen unsurpassed
shipping facilities. The next was to
give Publicity to their resources.
1t is stated authoratively that ap-
proxiniAtely 100 miles of railroad
will shortly be built through here.
The material for the publication to
the world of our resources is avail
abte in very convient form and we
need only to take hold of the wheel
and keep pushing.
