Street cleaninq campaiqn Started.

Street Cleaning Campaign Started.
New Orleans, August "a great
| street cleaning campaign was inau-
gurated here early today and will con-
tfnue until nightfal. Besides the paid
laborers of the city and the prisoners
from the jails and houses of detention,
thousands of volunteers took off their
coats and rolled up their sleeves and
went to work to give New Orleans a
thorough scrubbing. Hundreds of
carts and wagons were employed in
carrying off the refuse.
The state board of health was in
receipt of advice sfrom a number of
parishes today notifying Vt of their dis
position to modify quar&ntine regula-
tlons. A number of boards have CON
ferred at Lafayette and decided not
to Interfere with the movement of
passengers from non-infected points
who have health certificates and from
infected points if they have served
time in detention camps and been re
leased by the marine hospital service.
Restrictions were taken off of freight
provided it is shipped in fumigated
cars.
Full confidence has been expressed
in the marine hospital service. Ad1i-
tional appeals have come from the
smaller towns for relief so that they
may obtain food supplies and ice.
Gueydan, La, and Logansport, La
are among the towns thus complain
Ing. The latter is on the Texas bor
der, and because of the Texas quar-
antine has not had a train for seven
days. Its supplies are nearly ex-
hausted.
Baton Rouge is guarding against pos
sible infection by the erection of an
isolation hospital. Work on it has been
rushed and it will be ready the mo-
ment a case is reported in that vicin-
ity.
Alexandria, La, having lessened the
severity of her regulations, has been
able to receive 20 pouches of delayed
mail, but is still anxious to secure
outside newspapers describing the fe
yer situation
Governor Blanchard has received an
appeal for assistance from Bon Ami.
La where there have been two cases.
One has died and the other is mori-
bund. There are 1900 people in the
settlement and only one doctor.
Nurses and doctors are desired. The
governor is doing all in his power to
relieve the situation.
Foreign immigration Stopped.
All foreign immigration into New
Orleans is to be stopped until after
the fever is stamped out. Large num-
bers of Italian immigrants were ex-
pected here in September and Octo-
Der, but as the bringing in of thou
sands of unaccHmated persons would
simply add fresh material for the fe-

Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending Aug. IA, 1905.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The past week brought the highest
average temperature Of the season, the
daily excess ranging from 2 to degrees
at all stations. There was very high
percentage of sunshine, and conditions
were favorable for threshing and stack
ing grain except for the oppressive heat
during the working days of the week.
Nearly all observers reported short
age of moister on the surface, and gave
expression to general fear Of damage by
drought and hot winds; but the copious
and well distribute rainfall on Satur-
day night and Sunday allayed apprehen-
sions of serious injury to the immature
crops from that cause. Corn has made
great advancement toward maturity,
and the general condition Of the crop is
highly satisfactory. Good reports con-
tinue to come as to the excellent yield
and quality of oats, and the spring
wheat crop gives promise Of better
output and higher quality Of grain than
the state has produced in recent years.
A considerable amount of wild hay has
been secured. The soil is now In good
conditions for blowing preparatory for
fall seeding. The recent showers will
help out late potatoes and refresh the
pastures. Altogether, it has been thus
far very good crop season, promising
more than an average output of staple
farm products.

M0RTUARY.
DR.. W. c. Wheeler.

DR.. VIM. Clark Wheeler was born in
Jackson county, Indiana, Oct. 25, 1927,
and died in Leon, Decatur county, Iowa,
August 8, 1905, at p. M, being N years
8 months and Is days old.
He studied medicine with preceptor
and graduated from medical college in
Cincinnati, Ohio. He came to Iowa 90
years ago, and lived at Davis City about
% years. He served three years in the
army during the Civil War, acting as
field surgeon. He was married to Sarah
E. Cornett Nov. 8, 1856, to which unior
large family of children were born,
eight OF whom are living. He was mar
ried the second time to Mary McDougle
March %, 1881, and to this union one
son was born who now resides in Leon.
The children now living are four sons
and five daughters, all being present at
the funeral.
He joined the S. F. A. Masons some 40
years ago. This illness that has at last
proven fatal came upon him July 80,
1905, but he suffered stroke of par
alysis in January of this year. From
this he rallied and was able to be out
again and was present with the com
rades on Decoration day and seemed to
enjoy the service very much.
DR.. Wheeler was in all respects fine
man, good physician and had many
friends among all classes. He was
gentleman of the old school, cordial and
hospitable; a man of fine conversational
powers with whom it was pleasure to
spend few hours. He made a profess
sion OF religion when young man and
then felt called to preach the gospel
but later abandoned the idea and stud
led medicine. Though his life was
among men of the world he never gave
up his religious convictions and twenty
years ago at camp meeting gave him
self wholly to the Lord and since has
had bright and joyous experience. He
knew the hour and the place when God
forgave his sins and Che effect and work
OF the Holy Spirit on his heart. To the
writer he frequently spoke of his exper-
fences. During his last hours he called
his family about his bed and gave sound
advice to all and expressed hope that
all would meet him in the home to
which he was goi.g.
DIR. Wheeler loved his family dearly
and all were devotedly attached to him.
He spent Sunday afternoon in religious
rejoicing and conversation. He will be
missed by the older citizens who knew
him best. lie expressed wish that he
might live to preach temperance all
over the world. Last of all he slept his
life away and died in great peace.

Save One Hundred Dollars on
piano.

The 500 that it ordinarily takes to
sell a piano by means of local can
vassers can be saved by getting your
piano direct from the worlds largest
music house, Lyon & Healy, Chicago.
Lyon & Healy often sell from 20 to
80 pianos direct in single day. And
the cost of handling this immense bust
ness is very little greater than
that of smaller concern selling only
a few pianos month, hence the great
advantage of dealing with them.
The freight on piano from Chicago
to this city is only a few dollars, and
you run absolutely no risk in ordering
from Lyon & Healy, for il the piano they
send You is not satisfactory, they agree
to pay freight both ways.
Write to-day for copy of "A Piano
Book" which is the most beautiful
piano catalogue ever printed. 1t offers
a choice of four different plans under
which you may secure an instrument.
A copy will be sent free by Lyon &
EIealy, 10 Adams Street, Chicago.
