Dread Sco:rge Breaks Out

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Twenty Cases Reported by Health Al.
thoritaes and People Hasten to
leave-Report Of Conditions
In New Orleans Sunday.

Physicians Of the Natchez, Miss,
board Of health at noon Sunday ex.
amined AID pronounced as yellow fe-
Yer, two patients, a white woman and
negro man. Examining further, FIVE
negroes ccnvalescent from yellow 1s-
yer We're found in the northeast enn
Of town together with seventeen sus-
picious cases of sickness, thirteen of
which are undoubtedly yellow feve,
The infection is traced to negro wo-
man who came from New Orleans on
July 10.
Lake Providence, La, reports five
new cases, making a total Of fifteen.
Sunday night at Jackson it was re.
ported to The state board Of health by
the local health authorities at Natchez
that there were twelve cases of ye.,
low fever m that city, all Of the VIC
TINS being negroes except one, white
woman, Mrs. Einstein, the wife OF a
white peddler. It is not stated where
the disease came from, but it is be-
heved that it was carried over from
Louisiana by negroes. According to re-
ports received in Jackson good many
people are leaving Natchez.
Sundays record in New Orleans
showed the smallest number of new
cases since August 6, and the Largest
number Of deaths, thirteen, on any day
since the fever made it's appearance.
The unusual number of deaths is
attributed in q measure to the change
In the weather, Saturday night being
cool and pleasant, In great contrast to
the weather Of the preceding week.
The principal news from outside the
city was the announcement from
Natchez Of the discovery Of six cases
there, and the attempt to blame New
Orleans for them. This is regarded as
rather strange in view Of the fact that
of all the tight quarantines against
New Orleans, Natchez has maintained
the tightest, not even allowing its own
people to enter if they had been near
lew Orleans.
The official report in New OrleaHs
for Sunday was as follows: New cases
81, total to date 1,743, deaths Sunday
l3, total deaths to date 257, remain
ing under treatment 1879.
Quite a controversy has developed
between City Health Officer KohnlSe
and DR.. Joseph Holt, at one time the
president of the STATE board Of health.
Dr.. Holt, in thu course Of an address
before a meeting, passed some Sc
we're structures ON the city health off,
GER, who, when he read the report
Of the address in the morning papers,
wrote him, esking IL he had been cor
rectly quoted. DR.. Holt made rather
WARM reply, in the course OF which
he sadd:
"You are evidently trying a bluff
game. but whether so or not, you can
pop your whip and wade in, for make
to you neither apology nor explana-
ton"
To this DR.. Kohne made response,
In which he told his politely txat be-
should have ascertained the correct.

them public utterance.

Carl Zarbel. a farm hand Of Camden,
N. J., surrendered himself to Wilson
T. Jones, sheriff Of Gloucester county,
and asked to be hanged. Zarbel said
he had killed a man in Virginia last
January. The Virginia uthorities were
notified by wire and information was
received that Zarbel's story was true
and that a reward had been offered for
his capture.
He appeared to be melancholy and
finally he told his employer that he
was a murderer. His conscience gave
him no rest and he was impelled to
give himself up.

Nitrate of Soda ~ Top Dressing.
Ihe New Jersey station gives out
some interesting results with nitrate
OF soda as top dressing for forage
crops. During the years 1889 to 1902,
seven experiments were conducted
with nitrate as top dressing on for
age crops (rye, wheat, barley, barn
yard millet. corn, oats and peas, the
nitrate being used in addition to the
manures and fertilizers generally ap-
piled. IL.
In all cases very marked increase
due to the application OF nitrate oc-
CURED, ranging from 34.1 per cent. for
corn to 96.6 per cent. for barley-a
profitable return from the use OF
nitrate on all crops except the barley,
which. owing to unfavorable weather
conditions, Gid not make a large yield. $
The value Of the increased crou
ranges from SG.G4 to S11.59 per acre
profitable increase in every case. as
the average cost of nitrate did not ex-
ceed $3.50. This profit does not take
into consideration the fact that the ay-
erage Increase for all the crops was
over fifty per cent, thus reducing in
this proportion the area required for
the production Of definite amount Of
food, point Of vital Importance In the
matter Of growing forage for soiling
purposes. In other words, 1t is shown
that not only with these crops the an
plication Of nitrate of soda made il.
possible to double the number Of cattle
or the number of COWS that could be
kept on a definite area.
In the case of the wheat and rye. the

ed and root systems we'll established

food.
In raising forage crops the best re-
sults-in fact, satisfactory results-can
only be obtained when grown under
the intensive system. The soil must
be we'll prepared and an abundance Of
all the elements Of plant food supplied.
Hence, the application Of nitrate may
be greater than is usually recommends Il
ed for grain crops under the extensive
system.

Death Of Mrs. William HcSlam
Clara, wife of William Haslam, died
March at the Bangor hospital, aged fifty
two years. Mrs. Haslam had been in poor
health for some time, and only three
weeks ago consented 70 go to the hospital,
but an examination proved that her dis
ease, cancer, was too far advanced to admit
of an operation.
The remains were brought home last
Thursday and the funeral was held at her
home, Rev. j. P. Simonton, Of Ellsworth,
officiating. The large number of friends
and neighbors who were present testified
to the esteem in which the deceased was
held. She will be greatly missed from
her home and from the community.
She leaves husband and two sons, an
aged mother-Mrs. Elizabeth SWEET, and
one sister-Mrs. S. w. Bennett, all of this
place, also three brothers Oren, Lorenzo
and John SWEET, who live in the West.

TRICKY BRAIN CELL.


The anatomy of the nervous system
and consequently its physiology was
regarded in the past as very simple.
Cayal showed that the specific brain
cell is an Independent Unit provided
with multiple processes. by means of
which it is capable of acting rot
through one nerve alone, but several.
This independent brain unit or cell is
called neUrou
A simple Illustration of how the neu
ron works is furnished by our not IN
frequent hunt for name or an ilel
which we know we possess. We feel
that the nane is there. but we cannot
recall it. We get various names near
It, beginning even with the same letter
or the same vowel sound. yet only after
minutes or even hours does it actually
occur TO us.
What is supposed to happen is that
the particular cell of intellection which
we are using throws out its process
among the cells of memory for names.
and. though this process is brought in
connection with cells containing SINH
lar names, it is only after a more or
less prolonged search that it-hits on the
right one. 1t Is as If the telephone
operator in the central office felt
around blindly for the connection want
ed and only after putting the plug into
various holes eventually struck the
proper one.-Dr. Joseph Walsh in Book

WEST SULLIVAN.

WEST SULLIVAN.
Death of Mrs B. B. Hauey.
On Friday, March 10, 1905, Sarah l., wife
of Barney B. Havey, of the firm of Crab
tree & Havey, died at West Sullivan, leav-
ing a large family circle and many friends
who mourn the loss of a devoted wife,
fond mother, true friend and an earnest
Christian worker.
Mrs. Havey was the daughter of Ly-
sander and Esther Hooper; she was born
in Franklin in September, 1S4s. Mr.. and
Mrs. Havey were married in 1872. Five
sons came to their home, four of whom
are living; Percy, the third son, died when
only few months old.
In early life Mrs. Havey sought that life
which is made complete in Christ. As long
as she had strength her thought and Efforts
both in the home and in her social life,
were given for the advancement of the
kingdom of righteousness. With faith
that knew no wavering, she sought to help
her friends and loved ones to see the higher
life as it was revealed to her.
She twas one Of the founders of the
MSCHOOlSI cnurCn AT west SULLIVAN, ohN'
also charter member of the Order OF the
Eastern Star. Both in the church and So
ciety she was an earnest worker as long as
her health permitted.
For many years Mrs. Havey had been in
feeble health, often going down close to
the valley of death, but for the past few
months she seemed to be much better, and
her friends hoped to see her return to her
active life, but on March she was taken
down with the pneumonia, and in less
than week the struggle for life was over.
Her death makes sad the hearts of the
people of Sullivan, and the parting has
caused heavier blow to fall upon her
family.
The funeral services were held at her
home on March IS, Rev. o. G. Barnard
officiating.
The floral offerings were profuse and
beautiful. There were pieces from the o.
E. s., from David A. Hooper masonic lodge,
from the Golden Rule society, from many
children and grown people. An especially
fine floral design of white pinks was from
Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. era btree.

was surprised to hear one of the blind
men say: Hello. Ed. What are you

blind man was asked how he had
known the other with a distance of
five yards between them he answered.:

In the examination of the poisonous
machinery of insects and reptiles it is
apparent that the destructive principle
is the same in all and that the fang in
all possesses a hollow through which
the poison flows into the wound the
moment the incision is made. The
