New Orleans, Sept. 28.-Though the

with heavy clouds and a heavy wind
was blowing over the city. There
was considerable fall in the temper

The early reports promised another
low record of cases, comparatively

spectors. There were only two deaths
during the night.

Rain Continues in New Orleans.
The rain which started here ear.5
yesterday morning continued cei = ass-
ly through the night and was still
falling early today. The low record

general satisfaction in the city. but
the authorities were not disposed to
exult prematurely, believing that the
heavy downpOur might have had an
effect in pulling down the total. Some
sections of the city have been under
water making communication difficult
and it is possible that some cases were
unrepOrted for that reason.
On the other hand, it is believed
that the turn of the tide probably has
been reached, and that even if there

which were not turned in to the author
tiles, there will hereafter be a steady
weekly decline in the fever until it en-.
tirely disappears.
In the interim DR.. White urges the
public not to give way to over-confi-
dence, but to prosecute its fight against
the mosquitoes as relentlessly as it
did at the beginning of the campaign.
The country reports continue to be
exceedingly gratifying. Yesterday there
were 56 cases throughout the state

the reports from some points covered
several days. There was a total Of
only four deaths.

The crowd had collected near where
M. Witte would descend from the train
and when he appeared they broke out
into long and loud cheers for which
M. Witte bowed acknowledgements.
The spokesman then advanced and
read the address of welcome all in the
meanwhile standing bareheaded. The
address read
You have accomplished your diff
cult task and the nation is grateful to
you. You have given the credit for
your success to Emperor Nicholas,
President Roosevelt, Emperor William
OF Germany and the press. You have
forgotten only yourself We, however,
fully appreciate your services to your
country. The tree you planted at the
Washington homestead at Mt. Vernon
will serve as a token of the union be-
tween the two nations You have done
much. For ourselves and for those
who are absent, we will once more
shout hearty hurrah."
When the cheer had died away M.
Witte. who seemed deeply moved by
the sincerity Of the welcome. advanc-
ed a few steps ana delivered his re
ply. He said:
Il was SO little prepared for this
kind Of a reception that l must ask
pour pardon for the Incidence of my
words I have performed by duty well
because I have strictly obeyed his
majesty's instructions, because circum-
stances favored me, because the world
is weary of this bloody war, because
all classes of American society from
President Roosevelt down were in sym
pathy with my and our cause, because
l was true to my country and her and
our interests"
M. Whites last word was followed by
further loud and hearty cheering, af-
ter watch slowly advancing toward the
entrance, he shook hands with the de-
liverer of the welcoming address and
his friends and former colleagues.
The crowd followed closely toward
the door where an open carriage was

Voice from Arkansas.

Cleveland, Ark, July 31st.-(Spe-
siaD-Nearly every newspaper tells
Of some wonderful cure of some form
Of Kidney Disease by the Great Amer
lean Remedy, Dodds Kidney Pills,
and this part of Arkansas is not with
out its share Of evidence that no case
is too deeply rooted for Dodd's Kidney
Pills to cure.
Mr.. A. E. Carlile, well known and
highly respected here, tells of his cure
after nearly a quarter of century's
suffering. Mr.. Carlile says:
Il want TO let the public know what
I think Of Dodd's Kidney Pills. /
think they are the best remedy for
sick kidneys ever made.
Il had Kidney Trouble for % years
and never found anything that did me
so much good as Dodd's Kidney Pills
Il recommend them TO all sufferers"
There is no uncertain sound about
Mr.. Carlile's statement. He knows
that Dodd's Kidney Pills rescued him
from life Of suffering and he wants
the public to know It. Dodd's Kidney
Pills cure all Kidney ills from Back
ache to Bright's Disease.

STRANGE, ISN'T lr7

a woman sees a hat or bonnet in a
milliner's window. 1t is in the latest
style, so she determines to have that
hat-or one just like IL.
No use to try to dissuade her-she
wants that kind of a hat No other
will suit her.
There she displays her win power,
and probably does the same with
everything she buys for herself or her
family. She makes, as it We're, a FEM
mime declaration of independence"
Is it not surprising, therefore. to find
come few women who still allow their
grocers to choose for them In import
ant matters like foodstuffs?
In spite OF the fact that grocers as q
rule have long ago realized the neces-
sity OF catering to their customers
rather than their own desires. there
are still few of the other kind left,
who show a marked inclination to per-
suade customers to take what they do
not ask for, OF desire.
Take Lion Coffee, for instance. the
leader of all package coffees an estab-
llshed favorite for over twenty-five
years in millions OF homes. on account
Of its absolutely pure and uniform
quality.
Wouldn't you thing it impossible
that single grocer can still exist who
would oppose such an invincible argu-
ment of merit. by trying to persuade
customer TO buy loose coffee in pref
erence to Lion Coffee7
Loose coffee has no standard quality
nobody can guarantee that 1t is
even clean.
OF course. really independent and
intelligent women know this and so
do up-to-date grocers, but If women
were as particular about coffee as
about hats, no kind of grocer could be
without Lion Coffee.
