characteristics and Symptoms OF the
Yellow Fever.

New Orleans, Aug. 23.-Yellow
fever is, according to encyclopedias,
an acute infectious disease, which is
transmitted from the sick to sUscep-
tible persons through the agency OF
mosquitoes. The disease is carried
by the yellow fever mOsQuitO-steg-
Omya fascita- This mosquito is found
in tropical and semi-tropical regions.
and especially in low lands near the
sea or in river valleys The insect
serves as AN intermediate host for
the yellow fever parasite, which is
present in the blood OF those sick
with the disease in the first three days
OF the illness. After filing itself with
the blood from a yellow fever patient
period Of twelve days is required for
the development Of the parasite in
the body Of the mosquito before it
can transmit the disease by its sting
to another individual
The period intervening between in
lection and the onset Of the disease
is as a rule three or four days, but
it may be from one to seven days
The attack may come on suddenly
with severe chills or may be preceded
by symptoms OF Ianguor, headache
and malaria The temperature rap
idly rises and in two or three days
may reach los degrees or even high
er. The fever lasts from three to i've
days and is attended by pains in the
back, limbs and head. The tongue is
coated, but is bright red at the tip
and sides. There is tenderness and
pain in the abdomen, with nausea and
vomiting.
In favorable cases the fever abates
at the end Of the fourth or fifth day
and recovery is complete in two or
three weeks In severe cases the
/ symptoms continue with increased
violence The skin becomes very yell
/ low (hence the name), small hem
orrhages take place into the skin and
vomiting becomes frequent. Death Is
due to hemOrrhage, cardiac failure

epidemics varies greatly. It may be
as low as 10 per cent or as high as

classic music at the opera house We'd
nesday evening, August 80, under the
auspices Of the Ladies' Aid Society Of
the Methodist church. These young
ladies are musicians much out OF the
ordinary, and the music-loving people
Of GOOdland have here a musical treat
that they cannot well afford to miss
Miss Wayiand, although a skilled
piano player, wins her geatest favor
with the audience by her work upon
the violin. She has passed the OBJ
stacles Of the amateur, and now
makes her instrument speak in bird
and hute-like tones. From the meIO-
dies that surround US in childhood to
the difficult pieces Of the masters, her
musical manners equally charm.
Miss Hartman is recognized as a
talented player upon the piano even
in the highest musical society Of
Lindsborg. She has won her own
laurels by hard practice which is pos
sible only to those who are self-driven
by an OverpOwering love and ambition
for the art Miss Hartman also sings
sweetly in a cOntraltO range, and her
voice shows culture and a quiet
charm
In speaking Of the concert given in
Washington, Kan, the Republican
Register Of August II, says:
ct Will not do any good to tell
those who missed the concert Friday
night that they missed a treat, for
they will miss the next one and then
go to some ten-cent minstrel show
and complain about the character Of
the performances that come here The
Misses Hartman and Wayland held
up the reputation Of the school they
and added a new luster to
it. Their piano work was great and

THE VINEGAR MAN
Tragedy. Love and Comedy In the
Home Talent Play Tuesday.

Home Talent Play Tuesday.
The murder OF an old farmer that
never did anybody any harm; two
suftOrs for the hand OF a pretty lit
tie maiden, with the rightful winner
Of course, after a series Of fntrigues
and rank injustice against the man
she loved; the levity OF the ever
present vinegar man who had method
in his caprice; were some OF the main
points in the play at the opera house
Tuesday evening BY home talent, en-
titled, The Vinegar Nan, or At the
Old Well
The play, Of which Walter Fay.
who impersOnated The Vinegar
Man" is author, is seFfO-comic
production. and well adapted to the
efforts OF the young people that took
part There was an apparent rivalry
between the roles played BY Mr. Fay
and Mr.. Wade Warner A decision
Of which OF the two held the leading
character would result in an equasion.
Both parts were wei played, but If
Mr. Warner could have felt more that
he was the most vilanous man that
ever lived and could have looked
.'daggers'' out OF mis- eyes at crucial
times, his work would have been even
more exceptional than il was. He
had the chance to display the best
art. and quite succeeded il the re-
mark OF the little girl, after the play
was over, was generally true, who
said, that she didn't like to have him
play that mean part any more be-
cause she couldn't Ike him so well.
Asher Wilson, abused beyond mea-
sure by his opponent, who really
killed the old farmer and laid the
crime at Wilson's door, won in the
race for hearts The logic OF Provid-
ence could have been no other way
and be just, but il looked at times as
though he would not be able to make
good against his gaunt and cunning
competitor.
AT the Old Well" like any seri-
Gus play, had a continuous thread Of
moral in it. Many minor
were harmOniOusly graft
particular Anna SexxsOn, Jessie Vim
cent, Ezza VanWinkle and J. Ed
Stevens took their parts quite grace
fully.
Tom Swarts was the EuIlfble, simple
old farmer, yet good and kind He
kept the even tenor Of his way, and
was one Of the centers Of attraction
until his "glim was shifted out" by the
assassin's bullet
Mrs. Fay impersOnated the part Of
the leading lady, clinging girl like to
her first love, though under cloud OF
murder, and was rewarded finally
with a proof Of his innocence-and

GOODLAHD IS MUCH FAVORED
ROCK ISLAND OFFICIALS an
NOUNCE BIG IMPROVEMENTS.
More Men i'm Shops, Larger Yards,
More Dispatches and Operators
Another Through Wire.

H s Cable. general superintendent
OF the middle division; J. 3. Kilpat-
rick, superintendent OF motive power;
Charles Riley, road foreman OF en-
gines, and A 7. Abbott, superintend-
ent Of the Colorado division, were in
GOOdland Wednesday in two special
cars looking over the Rock Islands
plant at this place with a view TO
making needed improvements
To a reporter Of this paper they
said that a new wire would be put in
over the entire division TO accommo-
date new business; that the Dispatch
ing force would be doubled, provid-
ing six trick dispatchers, one chief
and one assistant chief; that the
GOodland yards would be enlarged
and a larger force put in at the shops
where ever necessity called for it
Four more operators viii also be pet
to work in the Offices here
To make room for this increased
force, the dispatchers' and operators
rooms viii be remodeled- The trick
dispatchers viii be entirely by them
selves, and cannot be reached by ire
outside public Chief Dispatcher
Jones, besides having a clerk, viii
be assisted in his work by an assist
ant chief, L NJ. Ellis. These improve
ments viii be permanent
The Rock Island has a larger force
employed on this division than ever
in its history. There are 100 en-
gineers, 20 passenger and so freight
conductors On this basis there should
be 100 hremen and 80 brakemen.
This large force and the exactions Of
the train service upon the motive
power and cars calls for more men in
the shops.
The yards at this point viii be en-
larged as the business Of the road
has OutgTOwn the accommodation.
Another improvement which is now
under construction is the enlarge
ment Of the stock pens. Their capa-
city will be practically doubled, as it
is becoming more and more a feeding
point for shippers Of live stock
GoOdland is a necessity to the Rock
Island, but inasmuch as the officials
have ordered these unusual improve
ments into effect here. the people Of
the town ought not to lag behind in
their duty to furnish a modern hotel
and a greater number Of dwelling and
lodging houses.

HEAD-ON COLLISION.
Trains No. 8 and No. Al Collide at

EIankRtO, Kan, Wednesday.
Passenger trains Nos. s. eastbOund,
and Al, westbOund, were in a head
end collision at MankatO, Kan, about
II o'clock Wednesday morning. These
trains were to meet and pass at that
point No Al had right Of way on
main line, and No. S was to take the
siding. The Westbound train was
standing on the track awaiting No
s, but when near the siding and going
at about 40 miles an hour, the en-
gineer found that the throttle was
stuck, and that it was impossible to
stop the train in time to avoid a col
HsiOn. Both engines were Of the new
500 type and the monster machines
came together with a crash
Surprising as it may seem, only a
few persons were slightly bruised, no
one killed or seriOsuIy injured. Sew
eral GoOdland people were on the
train, Mrs. John Williams, wife Of
Engineer Williams, Albert Reed, a
boilermaker in the shops here, and
Asher 3. Wilson, Of the law firm Of
Wilson Bros, being among the pas
sengers on No s. A wrecking crew
from Fairbury cleared up the track
and trains were delayed for several
hours.

EAGLES NEST IN GOODLAND.
sixty Charter Members Started tho
Local Aerie.

Sixty young Eagles were discovered
Wednesday morning in a huge nest
on the top OF the First National bank
building in GOOdland- Strange noises
were heard BY pa Esers-by Tuesday
evening, resembling the breaking Of
shells and the popping OF coFks-
Investigation proved that for long
time an American Eagle had been
nesting on the roof at the former base
OF the flag pole. The nest was con-
structed Of scraps Of paper, picked
up in back alleys, sticks thrown at
stray dogs, discarded base ball bats
and old umbrellas. The nest was
lined with excelsior and feathers
gathered from the rear OF markets
and furniture stores, with a dressing
Of human hair from the back doors
Of tOnsOrial establishments and all
neatly woven into a firm texture
There were sixty young Eagiets in
the nest about the size Of young Cos
Inns, each hungry, thirsty and scream
ing, the mother being temporarily
absent hunting more grub when our
informant went alOft and discovered
the nest And lying about were butch
er's scraps, bones, decayed birds and
dead mice and rats collected from
back alleys The perfume, please
don't mention it, except to the health
officer. Charley O'Brien smelled
something the night before and really
located the Arie.
Talk about stOrks and what they
bring-they amt in # with Eagles.
Parties owning pups and kittens,
small pigs and young goats, parrots
and babies should keep a lookout for
this mother bird. It would be adVis-
able for parties pushing gO-carts and
baby carriages to arm themselves
against the awful onslaught Of moth
er Eagle instinct and carry a three
tined pitchfOrk-
Sure enough. the Eagles lodge has
come to stay, and the scream OF the
bird viii be heard anon in GoOdland.

man S. Youtsey Of this city and his

land are carrying on dry farming this
season on an extensive scale
Last fan, they sowed 10 acres OF
Turkish red winter wheat on arid
land in the Oklahoma district, eight
miles southeast Of this city. The land
was cultivated according to what is
known as the Campbell system The
theory Of this system IS that the nor
NAL rainfall Of a season is not sufh-
cient to mature the crop, 50 the land
is plOwed in the spring and fitted for
catching and retaining the moisture
Of the soil during the season, and
then seeded in the fall
The success Of this system has been
demonstrated, the tests showing that
from 80 to 50 bushels Of good winter
wheat to the acre may be harvested
from land that cannot be irrigated and
which a few years ago was considered
practically worthless for crop grow
ing
In the vicinity Of the YOutsey bro
Tiers land 1900 acres Of arid land
was broken up last spring and viii

been done, but Herman Youtsey is
confident that his 1T0-acre wheat field

lieved to be the best variety TO SOW as
