New Orleans Shows Depression
Over Fever.

Wednesday was the first day since the
fever appeared at New Orleans on
which there was any apparent depres-
sion in the community, and there are
itwo reasons for il. One was the death
Of Archbishop Chappelle, who succumbed
to an attack Of the prevailing ill
ness, and the other was the general clos
ing OF stores in accordance with the may
or's proclamation urging everybody in
the city to devote the dag to a general
house cleaning.
While the death of the distinguished
prelate is deplored because of the loss
which the community suStains, ii is also
regretted because Of the effect it will
have upon the outside world. 1t is feared
that it will cause the belief to spread
that conditions are really much worse
than they are. The records are now be-
ing issued under the auspices Of the
marine hospital service, which vouches
for their correctness.
Quite a number Of the new cases are
in close proximity to existing sub-foci,
indicating secondary infection. The new
SuD-lOCl are evenly ulVlueu, SIX DelnS
above and six below Canal street. One
is in a hotel and the patient is a well
known citizen. In the death list ali but
one of the names indicate foreign origin,
showing no variations from the preceding
records. e.
Chairman Janvier received a telegram
from Gov. Blanchard Wednesday stat
ing that more than a majority Of the
members of the legislature had replied

women employed in the Myers depart
nent store, which collapsed Tuesday,
ire accounted for.
About thirty cash boys have not yet
reported, but it is thought scarcely pos
sible many of them are in the ruins, for
the proportion Of boys thus far known
to have been killed and injured is small.
These facts lead to the belieT that the

ably less than was feared. The dead

for the accident will be begun as soon

The terms are substantially what the

entertained as n basis of negotiation
They include the following:
The cession OF the Russian leases to the
Liao-tung peninsula, comprising Port Ar

The REIMBURSEMENT to Japan of the

OPPOSITION TO DiTCHES.
Many Farmers in Clay and Yank-

Members of the county boards of
Yankton and Clay counties put in a
strenuous day at Nermillion hearing
arguments for and against the construc-
ton of drainage bitches on the Missouri
bottom to carry off surplus water that
may come from overflow or heavy rains.
Many farmers from both sides of the
county line were present, and the ma
iority registered a kick" against the
proposed bitches rs outlined by the three
petitions signed by L. III. Whitaker and
others.
Some of those against the proposition
were of the opinion that the cost of con-
struction would greatly exceed the bene-
fits to be derived, while others thought
the plan not feasible for the reason that
the bitches could not be built so as to
drain the bottom properly.

FATHERS TERRIBLE CRIME.
Charged with Criminal Relations
with His Own Daughter.

A. warrant was sworn out at Plankin-
ton and placed in the hands of the
sheriff of Aurora county charging Fred
S. Meyers with the crime of incest, the
complaining witness being his 16-year-old
daughter. Meyers has been working on
the Armour railroad extension in that
county. where he also secured employ
ment for the girl as cook for a small
grading outfit. Some of the men work
ing on the same grade became suspicious
that all was not right between father
and daughter, and after watching for a
time caught them in criminal relations.
The young men in the camp were only
prevented from dealing out summary
justice by the GOODNESS of their boss,
who interceded for Meyers and allowed
him to go with instructions to get out or
the country. The girl was then pre-
vailed upon to swear out the complaint,
but up to the present time the sheriff
has been unable to find his man.
Meyers came from Douglas county sly
months ago. He has a wife.

MISSING WOMAN FOUND.
Wife Of Dakota County Farmer Did
Not Commit Suicide.

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance from Sioux Falls of Mrs.
Bertha Gakken, the young and a~ttrac-
tive wife of q farmer living near Baltic,
twelve miles north of Sioux Falls, has
been solved by the finding of the woman
and her baby at the home of a farmer
and his wife living near Colman.
AS it was known by friends and rela-
tives that the home life of Mrs. Bakken
vas very unhappy, it was feared by them
that she had sought a watery grave for
herself and baby in the Sioux river.
When the disappearance Of the woman
and child from Sioux Falls was first
reported, no trace of her leaving the city
could be found, but it is now believed
that she went to Colman by train and
from there walked to the place where
she has now been discovered.
