Sixty-two cases of yellow fever re

The Seventh army corps, including
the Third Nebraska has been ordered
from Jacksonville to Savannah, thence
to Cuba.
A thousand lives are said to have
been lost by fire at Hankow, China, a
square mile of the city having been de
stroyed, including the government build
ing and temple.
Yellow fever has a firm grip on the
state of Mississippi, and nothing but
frost is relied upon to save the state
from devastation. Seventeen counties
are now afflicted. The governor has ap
pealed to the general government for re
lief. m
TnEHE are some of us who have a very
lively recollection of those who opposed
tbe war of the rebellion, and there are
persons here now who are opposed to
President McKinley's general line of
conducting the war against Spain, but
it will have to prevail, as it ought to do.
J. A. Duxs for senator is a weak can
didate. He made a poor one two years
ago and will make a poorer one this
time. His party did not want him.
They wanted Sprecber and as a conse

Murphy has a walk-a-way this time.

The false "economists" feed the blind,

yet whether or not it also comes from

An unsuccessful attempt was made
Friday morning about 7, to wreck the
west-bound Union Pacific passenger
train at a bend in the road about three
miles cast of Brady. Antony O'Donald
has been arrested. This curve was the
scene of the hold-up by the Knudson
brothers, several years ago, for which
they are now serving time in the peni
tentiary. Secbetabt Porter says that no one
who knows him would ever think of im
pugning his motives; from which we as
sume that he has a high opinion of Mr.
Porter. However, the voters have a
right to believe that his campaign cards
were not intended to imply that his pre
. decessor was scrupulous about turning
in fees that belonged to the state. To
be sure nothing was said to that effect,
but the cards were worded with the
evident intent of leaving strong grounds
for conjecture. And conjecture is n
pop's long suit. Lincoln Journal.

General Wheeler, who will command
the Fourth corps, stated before leaving
Washington that he expected to resume
his seat in the house soon after it met.
General Graham, who is to command
the Second corps, has retired as a bri
gadier general, and the question has
arisen as to whether he shall be con
tinned longer in the volunteer service.
The attorney general has rendered an
opinion that there is no reason why he
should not, but there is a feeling among
army officers that this would not be al
together fair to the young men, and it
is probable that Generals John C. Bates
and A. R. Chaffee, later on will succeed
to the command of the Second and
Fourth corps, and General Wilson will
continue to command the First corps.

POSTAL SERVICE IN CU8A.
Agent Keaipuer ea Hi. Way to Washing
ton to Slake Rc-port.
Havana, Oct. 11, Louis Kemp
ner, United States postal agent at
Santiago, arrived here on his way to
Washington, where he is to call on mat
ters relating to the postal service. He
reports that the concentration of Spanish
troops at Cienfuegos is being actively
pursued, abont 1,500 men being brought
there weekly from the ports between
Manzanillo and Cienfuegos on the south
coast.
Mr. Kempner visited the Spanish post
offices at Manzanillo, Tanas 'and Cien
fuegos. and will make a report on their
condition, suggesting radical improve
ment in the system. A meeting will be
held in a few days, it is said, in Havana
province of all the commanders of the
Cuban army. General Maximo Gomez
will preside. The meeting will have
.significance as deciding the future pol
icy of the Cuban army on.the island.
The Western railway of Havana, has
made a reduction of 50 per cent, in ths
charge for transporting the Cuban
troops.
Advices from Cardenas report the ar
rival there of Colonel Cowan and Lien
tenant Parker, enronte from Santiago,
and who have been visiting the Cuban
camps on the way, under a special com
mission from the United States' govern
ment. Today they were to visit Bri
gadier General Carlos Rojas at Camp
Varadorc, leaving for Matanzas by rail
in the course of the afternoon.
Military Club Disbaads.
The Spanish military club of Ha
vana held a meeting yesterday and re
solved to dissolve. The club's furni
ture will be sold, one-third oi the pro
ceeds going to the public orphan asy
lum of Havana, and the other two-thirds
to the asylum for the orphans of sol
diers of Spain. last evening shortly
before midnight representatives of the
local cab companies and livery stables
assembled at the office of the civil gov
ernor, where they had been summoned
with a view to heading off a strike that
threatened for the day. Senor de Cas
tro, the civil governor, addressed them
collectively and individually, and suc
ceeded in persuading them to abandon
their proposed strike.
This morning tho delegates called
upon the mayor, who subsequently had
a conference with Senor de Castro.
The crisis was created by, the demands
of the cab companies for higher fares
in view of the depreciation of silver.
Their demands were well founded, and
it is likely that the mayor will himself
authorize the demanded increase al
though he repudiated it a week ago, al
though granted by Senor de Castro.
The Spanish paymaster geneaal pub
lished a notice to persons in the naval,
military and civil service announcing
that beginning today monthly pay
ments will be re-established, but there
will still be four months' arrears out
standing. Criticise Americans.
Manila, Sept. 1 (via San Francisco)
Oct. 11. The Spanish newspapers in
Manila are revelling in an unprece
dented atmosphere of freedom and criti
cise the American authorities in a way
they never would have dared to criti
cise their own government, for tho
Spanish censor has now joined the great
army of unemployed and the United
States army censor confines his atten
tion to cablegrams going abroad. He
will not, he says, permit a word to be
said in any way derogatory to the
United States army or authorities, but
he takes no notice of violent, inflamma
tory distribes daily exciting the people
of the Philippines. He lets Spaniards
say what they like to their readers,
while he refuses to trust the American
people and loyal American journalists.
Husband Held for Murder.
Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 11. Tho body
of Mrs. J. J. Kunkel, whose husband is
now under arrest, charged with having
poisoned her to secure the insurance
covering her life, has been cxluuvxl for
examination. Arsenic was used to em
balm the body and the examination is to
determine whether the arsenic found in
the stomach was separate from that used
in the embalming. A feeling in favor
of Kunkel has developed in the last 24
hours and the officers now are even in
clined to believe that it will bo hard to
convict him of the charges against him.
A telegram was received from Seattle,
Wash., asking if Kunkel needed any as
sistance in any way, proffering financial
or any other aid that might be needed.
Roosevelt Meets labor Leaders.
New York, Oct. 11. Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt took lunch today with
Messrs. Weissmann of the Bakers'
union, White of the United Garment
Workers' union, and Derflinger of the
Typographical union. The conversa
tion. Colonel Roosevelt said, was rather
more about labor questions than about
politics. Half a dozen rough riders will
go with Colonel Roosevelt on his speak
ing trip through the state. Candidate
Van Wyck will speak in Buffalo Oct. 22.
To Suppress Trala Robbery.
Kansas City, Oct. 11. The express
companies from several western cities
met here and agreed to act together in
suppressing train robbery. Plans to
that end were agreed upon, but will be
kept secret. The superintendents of the
Pacific, American, Wells-Fargo and
United States express companies, from
Omaha, St. Louis and Kansas City were
present.
Getting Transports Ready.
Sax Francisco, Oct. 11. Work on
the transport steamers Valencia, Indi
ana, Senator and Ohio is progressing,
but it will be next Sunday at the ear
liest before the Senator, the first to be
ready for sea, can be finished. It is
6aid that she will carry the Twenty
third United States infantry, and the
recruits of the Second Oregon reg
iment. The Valencia will be ready
some time next week, but the troops to
go on her have not yet been assigned.
The Ohio and Indiana need extensive
repairs. The transports Rio de Janeiro,
Pennsylvania and Newport are ex
pected to put in an appearance at any
time. The Bio de Janeiro has a num
ber of sick soldiers on board.

Attempt to Raid a JaiL

Prompt aad Radical Actloa to Sappreas
the Mob Trouble Arose Over the Kill
lag of a Private by Protest Oaard
Kitchen Over Five Haadred Arrested.
LEXJNQfON, Ky., Oct. 11. As a re
mit of the killing of a private in the
Twelfth New York regiment by Pro
vost Guard Kitchen Sunday night 300
or 400 members of that regiment formed
a mob last night and seized a train at
Camp Hamilton with the intention of
coming to town on it and raiding the
county jail for the purpose of taking
Kitchen out and lynching him. Gen
eral Wiley and Colonel Leonard were
quickly notified of the uprising and they
suppressed the mob by the most radical
and prompt action. The outbreak was
not unexpected and tLojil was heavily
guarded. The provost guard iu the city
was also doubled. It is believed that
the prompt- measures that were taken
have prevented what promised to be a
very serious affair.
At a late hour the excitement was in
creasing. General Wiley sent a bat
talion under Captain Holbrook to stop
the mob and turn it back. The captain
ordered the soldiers to return to camp.
A corporal shouted, "All who do are
cowards!" Holbrook asked him from
what regiment he belonged and he
shouted, "The Big Four!" When Hol
brook protested that was no way to ad
dress an officer, the soldier replied
sharply. Holbrook grabbed him, when
tho soldier shot at Holbrook, but missed
him. The soldier then fled.
Many of tho Twelfth New York had
to be clubbed into submission. The
Eighth Massachusetts is placed as a
guard around Camp Hamilton. The
mob began again to form in town and
the One Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana
was sent with ordei s to shoot to kill if
resistance was made. Over 600 arrests
have already been made. Kitchen still
fears a lynching.
The officers say Kitchen will unques
tionably get the death sentence. When
he shot Nygren he was under orders
not to even have his gun loaded. It is
said Colonel Leonard of the Twelfth
New York was tho principal promoter
of the mob. The matter will be thor
oughly investigated tomorrow.
President Leaves Caaton.
Canton, Oct. 11. President McKin
ley boarded tho Omaha special at 9:20

retary Wilson, Assistant Secretary of

pected to join the party at Omaha.
Governor Shaw of Iowa and his staff

Slot Machine 'Phone Illegal.
Chicago, Oct. 11. In an opinion ren
dered to the judiciary committee of the
city council, Corporation Counsel Thorn
ton holds that the slot machine tele
phone as used by the Chicago Telephone
company is illegal. Counsel Thornton
contends that the company has no right
to charge any extra to an outsider for
the use of the telephone when the com
pany is already being paid by the party
renting the telephone, and leaves it to
the option of the latter whether he shall
make an extra charge or not.
Bailway Employes Killed.

Leisure of Clinton, and F. C. Anderson
of Boone, employed by the Chicago and
Northwestern in the water supply de
partment, were killed at the railroad
well in this city yesterday while putting

and also had an arm broken. The pump,
weighing over a ton, fell on them.
WOOD DOES GOOD WORK
Yellow Fever Is Practically
Stamped Out of Santiago.
RESULT OF TH0B0UGH CLEANING
Major Barber, Who Is at Head of Street
Cleaning Department, Has Had Six Hun
dred Men Eagaged In Carting Away
Filth of Generation, Which Is Burned.
General Wood Advises Investor.
Santiago, Cuba, Oct. 11. The
health of the United States troops now
in the province of Santiago has consid
erably improved, not more than 10 per
cent now being on the sick list. Most
of the cases of indisposition now are
merely light malarial fevers. Yellow
fever has been practically stamped out
of the dry by the systematic cleaning
process put in operation. For several
weeks Major Barber, who is at the head
of the street cleaning department, has
had 600 men engaged in carting away
the filth of generations, which is burned.
General Wood has shown wonderful
executive ability.
General Lawton is well satisfied with
the soldierly qualities displayed by his
men since they have been here, and all
reports from other places in the prov
ince as to the behavior of the American
troops are satisfactory. There has been
very little drunkenness, which when
one remembers that as a soldier pu;s it,
"Drink is cheap and you are always
thirsty," is really remarkable.
General Wood advises investors not
to como to Cuba if they intend their in
vestments to take the form of land pur
chase, as the records and archive? have
been left in a shocking state by the
Spanish authorities.
A man with a little capital here would
do well with a steam laundry, an
American bakery, or a small store with
good groceries. Such enterprises could
be made to pay from the outstart. This
month is the last of the rainy season
here. With November comes fine
weather with cool winds and good
health.
The dath rate in Santiago has de
creased six fold, though as a rule the
end of September shows heavy mortality-
