Some three or four years ago we had
a yellow fever scare. The officials OF
the town appointed a health officer,
paying him 5000 per month, and
passed ordinances requiring a general
cleaning up. We are far more in need
of the enforcement of these ordinances
now than ever before. There are piles
of stable refuse at all the public sta
bles, and doubtless at many of the
private ones. These manure piles are
the fayorite breeding places for flies
and they should be removed at once.
A lot of burned cotton seed has been
sent here from Memphis, and worked
up by our local oil mill. There is a

measures until the next regular ses-

newspaper men the President said he
was doing all in his power to restrict
the Japanese immigration. He under
stood the nature of the opposition OF
the people on the Pacific and recog-
nized the desire to restrict the owner
ship of their lands by foreigners be-
cause he considered the Japanese
classed by themselves. Any legisla-
ton passed should apply equally to all
foreigners.
Phelan informed the president:
ITO a man on the street there is
every evidence of a great increase in
the number of Japanese. We are will
ing to accept, however, the govern
ment figures and wait a reasonable
time for the full demonstration of the
agreement between the two govern.

INDIANAPOLIS Ind, Jan. 22.-The
Mine Workers convention this morn
ing appropriated $4,000 to be used in
the defense of John Mitchell in the

The widest enthusiasm probably "

shortly after the appropriation for the
contempt case had been made.

factions into one grand appreciation
