THE YELLOW JACK SCARE.
le Reports Received at; “’ashington Are
Uniformly Encouraging.
Washington, Sept. 10.-—The yellow fe-
ver situation continues hopeful and en-
couraging so far as the information ne-
ceived at the marine hospital is con-
cerned. Dr. Guiteras, the yellow fever
expert, telegraphs from Ocean Springs
to Surgeon General Wyman: “Have
seen today 25 cases of dengue. Will
withhold opinion about 3 other
cases. There are 38 sick in town. Three
new cases.” Notwithstanding the fact
that Dr. Gniteras is not yet convinced
that there is a genuine case of yellOW
fever at Ocean Springs, Surgeon Gen-
eral Wyman is pushing measures to
confine and stamp out the disease
should it eventually prove to be yellow
jack.
Surgeon H. C. Carter of Chicago, who
is a fever expert of large experience.
and Surgeon Murray, who will be in
command at Ocean Springs, have an-
nou ced their arrival. The rigorous na-
ture of the quarantine at Ocean Springs
is shown by Dr. Murray’s telegram:
”Arrived at 5 o’clock. Tried to get
through on engine, but could not get
permission from Mississippi board of
health until 1: 30 a. m. Dr. Gant of state
board in charge. There is a state cordon
about town of 25 posts, which the state
proposes to maintain for the present or
until the danger increases. There are
here, perhaps, 50 people who will ac-
cept camp. Will try to make census t0-
morrow as was done .at Brunswick,
withtht which there can be no clear ac-
tion. Lime, sulphur, bichloride, alcohol
and ovens ordered with which'to begin
disinfection."
New Orleans, Sept. 10.——A bulletin
from Ocean Springs, Miss, today says:
“One death at Ocean Springs today. All
physicians in town, including marine
hospital experts, holding autopsy.”
A later dispatch on the same subject
from the doctor stated that the physi—
cians had all agreed, a’fter the autopsy,
that it was a case of genuine yellow
fever.
San Francisco, Sept. lit—The quaran-
tine officers at this port are on the look-
out for vessels from Panama and Cen-
tral American ports. They will take
every preca ution to prevent yellow fe-
ver being brought to this port. They
are acting on the belief that the fever
on the gulf coast came from the isth-
mus.
BIG BROKERS FAIL.
J. R. Willard (a Co. Were on the Wrong
Side of the ~Rising Market.
New York, Sept. 10.—James R. Wil—
lard, Elmer Dwiggins and Jay Dwig—
gins, who compose the firm of J. R.
Willard & Co., bankers and brokers,
with offices at 55, 280 and 1227 Broad-
way, this city; 386 Ellicott square, Buf—
falo;1343 F street, Washington; 1031
Chestnut street, Philadelphia, and 1H9
Notre Dame street, Montreal, today as-
signed to James L. Starbuck, with :1.
preference for $20,000 to William H. Os-
terhout.
The assignee, Mr. Starbuck, is one of
the .bookheepers of the firm. On his
behalf another employee made the fol-
lowidg statement:
“It is difficult to tell what the liabili-
ties of the firm are, but they are cer-
tainly very large. They will probablv
amount to as much as $1,000,000. It is
even more difficult at this time to give
any idea of the assets of the firm.
Whatever they are, they consist mainly
of cash in bank, outstanding accounts
and securities.
“The cause of the firm’s failure was
that it was on the wrong side of the
market. It was short of wheat and of
almost all the principal stocks. The
sharp rise in wheat especially crippled
it.
“There is some prospect,of a resump-
tion of business, provided‘a reasonable
settlement can be made with creditors.
“The firm was founded two years ago
by J. R. Willard. Mr. Willard is a man
about 55 years old and has had long
experience in the banking and broker-
age business. He was formerly with
Kennett & Hopkins in Chicago, and two
years ago formed his present partner-
ship with Elmer and Jay Dwiggins,
two brothers who had been in the real
\state business in Chicago.
Wheat In Russia.
Odessa, Sept. 10.—-The crisis in the
grain trade in southern Russia has been
enhanced by the influx of half a score
of Hungarian commissioners, who are
purchasing wheat at any price at which
they can obtain it. A majority of the
great grain exporters are in a very pre—
carious position, and a large number of
smaller firms have already collapsed.
One large foreign export firm alone has
lost 3,000,000 nubles.
Father Ollivier Removed.
Paris, Sept. 10.—The notorious sermon
delivered by Father Ollivier at the time
of the charity bazaar fire has led to his
removal from the pulpit of the Cathedral
of Notre Dame. Archbishop Richaud at
first opposed Father Ollivier’s removal,
but it is understood that a hint from
Rome induced him to change his mind.
Watching ‘For Anarchists.
London, Sept. 10.—In response to the
request of the government of the Unit-
ed States the authorities of Scotland
Yard have been directed by the British
government to furnish information '10
the United States authorities when an-
archists are“ known to be embarking for
the United Statés.
Robbery In Boston.
Boston, Sept. 10.—-John O’Connor, 76, a
junk dealer, was assaulted and robbed
in his shop at 389 Atlantic avenue. He
is now at the Emergency hospital in a
critical condition, suffering from four
severe scalp wounds. The. thief is un-
known, and the police have no clew to
work upon.

ment, died there.

THE MINERS’ CONFERENCE.
Divided Interests Likely to Cause a Bitch
I at Columbus.
Columbus, 0., Sept. 10. —The national
convention of United Mine Workers has
struck a snag. Among the delegates
has grown a feeling that even were the
strike settled Ohio and Pennsylvania
would be the beneficiaries. There are,
men of this belief in Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and West Virginia, the first two
states being practically unanimous.
President Knight and Secretary Ken-
nedy of Indiana believe a. settlement
on the basis proposed would adjust
matters in Pennsylvania, Ohio, In-
diana and eastern Illinois, but would
have little or no effect in northern Illi-
nois. These men are substantially in
favor of a continuance of the strike.
The delegates from Illinois and Indiana,
so far as can be learned, as the session
is being held with closed doors, are act-
ing in harmony.
Certain Ohio delegates are standing
by West Virginia, as a settlement with-
out advantage to that section from the
miners’ point of view would- be tanta-
mount to the Miners’ union losing the
ground it has gained there.
Some Indiana and Illinois delegates
feel that they have been made the
catspaw of the movement.
The Massillon (0.) delegation is num—
bered among those who object to a set-
tlement as proposed. ' They say the
lowest wages they have been paid was
54 cents per ton, and a settlement at
the proposed Pittsburg rate of 65 cents
would only increase the Massillon rate
2 cents per ton. They want a differen—
tial of 5 cents between the Massillon
and Hocking valley fields.
President Carson of north Illinois
says they will stay out whether the
strike is settled or not.
Pittsburg made a fight today for ad-
ditional delegates, arid it is understood
the proposition was granted.
A Pittsburg delegate says a settle-
ment will be reached. He is a news-
paper man, but has credentials and is
on the floor as a delegate.
AMATEUR TRAIN ROBBERS.
Alleged Highwaymen Wound a “Wander-
ing Willie” and Then Run Away.
Ripe-n, Cal, Sept. 10.——The south bound
express train from San Francisco to
Los Angeles was stopped here 20 min-
utes by a crude attempt at robbery.
Near Marrano, five miles from here,
ties had been piled on the track and
the 11 God ignited. The train slowed up
as it approthed the burning pile, and
two men \\ ho were urking behind the
fence 011 the side of the track fired aim-
lessly toward the train. One of the
charges of buckshot entered the hip of
a tramp who was stealing a ride on the
top of one of the car
The attempted rob ery was not un-
expected. the ties having been piled on
the track in a similar manner a few
nights ago. Anticipating a renewal of
the attempt, Sheriff Cunningham had
placed tmo deputies on the train, one
of whom was riding in the cab. As
soon as the train stopped the deputy
leaped from the cab and the robbers
fled toward the San Joaquin river, eight
or ten miles distant, without making
any further effort to loot the train.
Deputy Sheii‘Ts Black and 'W’all could
not get near enough {0 the robbers to
open fire (11 them, and, the hack being
uninjuied the train proceeded to this
station. where the deputies took a trail
to try and capture the robbers. it is
reported hele that the deputies have
arrested a man under suspicion of be-
ing a 111cm?! 1' of the ,,au1g and taL: en

‘Baden until state business calls him to

I‘i th‘ THA f LEAK.
The Morgan & Wright single-tube
quick-repair tire must be regarded as
a. distinct improvement in bicycle tire
construction. It has the following ad- I
vantages:
While punctures in it can be re-
paired with plugs, or semi-liquid in-
jections, as well as in any other
single-tube tire, it can be pemanentl}
repaired by using the quick-repaii
strip inside the tire. See out No. 1.
By injecting M. & W. quick-repaii
cement through the puncture, anc
then pressing down on the tire with
the thumb. as in out No. 2, the repair
No. 2. ’
strip inside is picked up by the cement,
thus closing the puncture, as in out
No. 3.
The Morgan & Wright single-tube
quick-repair tire is guaranteed not
porous. This' IS on account of the Way
in which it is made. Nearly every
rider has heard of tires that “leak
like a sieve.”
Many tires rot, because water gets
into. the fabric between the two layers
of rubber. The Morgan & Wright
fabric is proof against moisture.
Everybody knows how comfortable
Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet
how seldom they puncture. This is
due to the fabric. .
Ask any bicycle dealer whether
other tires last as long as Morgan 81
Wright tires. Ask. also, what the
Morgan & Wright guarantee means.
Morgan &. Wright tires are repaired
free of charge, at the factory in
Chicago or at any of the Morgan &
Wright free repair shops, located in
i'he principal cities.
N. B. —When you have a puncture,
get right off. Riding a. tire flat, when
it has a- tack or nail in it, may-
'ama..e it considerably.

Mrs. James E. Beach, of Rosen-

years ago I was a sufferer from
kidney disease, so sick and help-
less I could not walk a step. My
physician could do me no good, so
I began to use Dr. David Kenne-

My husband used it for dyspepsia,
with excellent results.”
Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite

uric acid in the blood, thus curing
Rheumatism, Dyspepsia, Kidney,
Liver and Urinary troubles. Ills
peculiar to women are positively
and permanently cured by this
marvelous medicine.
