In years gone by almost everyone
stood in fear of yellow fever, but now
conditions have changed and it is not
dreaded by the rank and file rs much
as small pox, diptheria, scarlet fever,
or other contagious diseases.
There are a few cases at Pensacola,
more than 500 miles away, with little
prospect of it spreading in the state.
Perhaps a few persons will hesitate
about coming to Florida just at the
present but the majority of those who
own winter homes in the state under
stand the conditions and will come
during September and October as is
the usual custom.
When the season proper CORES. it
is not anticipated that there will be
any falling Off in the number of tour

Brother B. H. Carroll, Jr., Waco,
Texas, writes: DIR. L. B. Warren,
pastor of the First Baptist church at
Beaumont, Texas, and formerly the
beloved pastor at OcaIa, Fla, has
Just closed a revival service lasting
days with the Baptist church at
Mexia, Texas, of which DR.. B. H.
Carroll, IT., of Baylor university, is
supply pastor. The meeting was
marked by tremendous crowds and
enthusiasm and many conversions.
The singing was one of the features
of this meeting, as it will be of any
meeting held by Warren, for he is
master of chOirs as of assemblies
His intense personality, vivid, virile,
vimatic style; short, parable-like,
dramatic sermons and indefatigable
energy in personal work and zeal in
visiting the interested and the unin-
terested make him an ideal evangel-
ist where church and pastor are will
ing TO work. He has caught on in
Texas, and this George AIDE of the
pulpit will soon be as popular here as
he is in Florida.-Southern Witness.

CITY HELD IN WRONG,
Contract For Municipal Gas Plant is
Binding.

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa, July IL
The municipal gas plant situation was
somewhat cleared wIen Mayor Ed
wards, in the face of no action on the
part of the council went ahead and ap-
pointed a committee to take care of
the gas plant as it arrives in the city,
the first carload now being on the c.
& N. w. tracks. This committee is
composed of Aldermen P Mature, F.
E. Wilson and Levi Cottingham. A
storm of protest greeted the appoint
ment of the committee.
At special session of the council
last week a resolution was passed
which rescinded the contract with the
Western Gas & Construction company
of Fort Wayne, Ind, and which stated
that the city would have absolutely
nothing to do with the gas plant City
Attornel Tucker advised the council
that this action was illegal, that the
contract made with the Fort Wayne
company for the purchase of the gas
plant was in all respects legal and
could not be repudiated, even if every
member of the council desired it. If
the city refused to take the plan or
should refuse to protect it from dam

The appointment of this committee

leeway to the members. To take care
Of may mean many things. II the
committee decides that it is its BUSH
ness to carry out the contract which
the city attorney has decided is legal,
it may go ahead and construct the
buildings in which to erect the plant.
1t is generally understood, however,
that this committee will merely store
the plant and await the arrival of the
gangs from Fort Wayne, who are to
set up the machinery.
When these gangs arrive here there
will be something doing. According to
the contract they are to set up the
plant. The council is divided.
The long and short of the whole con-
troversy is that Mayor Edwards has
taken the only course open to him.
No matter how opposed the people the
Fort Wayne company seems to have a
legal contract with which to confront
them at every turn.

WITNESSES COME TO THE DE-
TENSE OF WILL c. GIBSON,
THE TRAVELLING MAN.
Was Not in Lincoln County Town
When Auditor Brown Was Bound,
Gagged and Robbed.

The report originating in Spokane
publication to the effect that Will G.
Gibson of Portland, who is held there
in the city Jail, is suspected of having
taken a part in the courthouse rob-
berry at Davenport, is absolutely IN
founded, says a dispatch from that
place. At no time have the officials
suspected that Mr.. Gibson was in any
way implicated in the sandbagging OF
Deputy Auditor Arthur Hallin. In fact,
he was not in town at that time. The
robbery took place on the night OF
proprietor of the Vendome hotel OF
this city said: "Mr. Gibson registered
here on the 25th of November, leaving
the next morning. He was here again
on the 22d of January, also leaving the
next morning.
At the time of the robbery it was
reported that Auditor Brown was in
lie office until 10 o'clock at night buy
ing stationery This is a fact and the
travelling man who was in the office
with him was George w. Durham of
Portland These two left the office and
babe Arthur Hallin good night and left
him working on the books. The next
morning he was found bound and gag
ged and several hundred dollars was
missing. The injured man regained
consciousness the next afternoon and
gave an account of the robbery. He
had been sandbagged by two masked
men, but was unable to give any clew
as to their identity.
Both Sheriff Inkster and Marshal
O'Farrell said that there is no excuse
for the publication and circulation of
the rumor referred to above, as Mr..
Gibson was not known to be in the
city and was not associated with the
occurrence in the mind of any one
here.

Maurice Warner, boy violinist, for
whose musical education the women of
the Eclectic club raised fund of $780,

with flaxen locks to a plain, ordinary
boy.
The consequent loss in the lads mar
ketable value has driven his manager
to despair, caused the cancellation of
contracts worth $4,000, and nearly
broken Maurice's mothers heart
Incidentally the barber faces a law
suit. The boys mother feels sure of
recovering damages, and says that per-
sonally she would not have taken $780,
600 for Maurice's locks. The boys
hair had received much attention, and
was trimmed slightly at intervals to
promote growth. Two days ago his
manager took him to a barber shop
and leaving the boy in the BARRIERS
chair, went out to attend to other bust
ness. In his absence the damage was
done. When Maurice's mamma first
saw him with a closely cropped pate

under a physicians care, suffering
from nervous prostration.

STATE INSTITUTIONS REPORT.
Soldiers Home Required to Enforce
the Pension Rule.

OLYMPIA, July 10.-The rapid in
crease in the number of insane persons
in this state is pointed out by Superin-
tendent Van Zandt in his monthly re-
port received by the board of control
today. This report shows that since
September, 1904, the number of pa
tents at Steilacoom has increased 49,
The increase over last month is SIX
teen. The average attendance for
June was SS1.
During June thirty-two new patients
were received, twenty-one were dis
charged, seven paroled, three returned
from probation. The cost of mainten-
ance for the month was $1O,24S.24.
A rapid increase in attendance is
also reported from the state Soldiers
home, and in consequence thereof the
board of control has instructed Super
intendent Calvert to enforce the rule
excluding veterans who receive pen
sions of $12 per month or over, unless
such veterans are hospital inmates re-
quiring medical attendance.
Every applicant for admission to the
home VINO receives $12 per month pen
sion or over has been required to sign
an agreement to accept his discharge
in the event that applications from
soldiers receiving less than that
amount cause a taxing of the capacity
of the institution.
In May the attendance was about
$50 and, although the summer months
are the lightest in point of attendance
as a rule, the number of inmates jump
ed to 27O early in the month. The
average for the month, however. was
kept down to 253. A number of in
mates who signed the agreement above
referred to have been given their dis
charge.
The cost of maintaining the Soldiers
home during June was $4,043.81.

CARS POWER is GONE.
Defeat in East, Revolt at Home, De.
stroy Russia as Factor in Affairs.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-While
the war with Japan has ruined Rus
sia's prestige in the far east, the rev.
dictionary outbreak in the Black sea
fleet and the disturbed conditions
throughout the Slav empire have de-
stroyed the influence of the car In
European councils.
A new adjustment of international
relations in the old world is impend-
ing-in fact, has already begun-and
the stable powers, including the Uni
ted States, are considering policies
they must adopt to meet the changed
conditions.
Diplomats who discussed today the
effect of the disturbances in Russia
did not let it be understood that their
governments are making preparations
in anticipation of the overthrow OF the
autocracy.
If such an event were to occur-and
it is regarded today more probable
than only ten days ago-successive de-
velopments will shape to large ex-
tent the course each nation will follow.
what has received international rec
ognition at this moment is the passing
of Russia as factor in the Mediter-
ranean and Balkan questions, particu-
larly, and the prospect is that she will
soon be counted out in connection
with other problems which intimately
have concerned Europe in the past.
The appearance of the Russian bat
tleship Potemkin in the hands of rev.
olutionists at the Roumanian port OF
Kustenji and the inability of the st.
Petersburg government to capture it
confessed by the dismantlement of the
remaining vessels Of the Black sea
1eet-mark the end of Russian domi-
nation of the Balkan situation.
