The Monday list is al ways larger. It was so during the epidemic of 1878. That is attributed to the fact that the work 'of inspection Is not as thorough Sunday and only the reports which come from physicians .are to be depended on. In today's list of fatalities two deaths appear as' having occurred in the Marine hospital. , They were sailors artmutea to that Institution. Another death was In the French asylum on St. Anne street, where a half dozen cases have been reported to date. ' These are the two public institutions outside of the hospitals In which cases of fever havehad to be handled. Numbers .of merchants were visitors to Dr. White today. Their object was to ask his intercession in the matter of an ameli oration of restrictions placed on freight by towns like Lake Ponchartraln, which de sires no intercourse with' New Orleans. Dr. White had Just returned from Mobile where he laid fully before the officials the measure of precautions that have been taken to prevent the transmission of mosquitoes in freight cars. The Alabama officials ex pressed themselves as entirely satisfied with Dr. White's representations and are Indis posed to place any restrictions against freight. Local merchants believe that Dt. White's Intervention may bring many of the smaller communities to a recognition of the harmlessness of receiving merchandise from Infected points. Panic Amongr Prisoners. PriSffiers, court attaches and hangers on at the Second criminal court were thrown Into something of a' panic today when a genuine case of yeliow fever was discovered in the dock. The man.Vas found ill among a number of prisoners and the doctor who was called promptly diagnosed the case as yellow fever. The screened ambulance Immediately carried the man to the emerg ency hospital. A flying squad was sent for and the dock and court room thoroughly disinfected. The patient was an Italian who was ar rested on Saturday night and remained in prison until today. The Jail will, therefore, be fumigated. 1 80 much discussion arose from the opera tion of the camp at Slldell that Dr. White today ordered It to be closed. Those now detained there will be permitted to stay their time out, but no others from here will be sent. The camp at Harahan has been built by the government. It is tho first of Its kind ever completely erected and maintained by the marine hospital service, the buildings being especially constructed for tbe purpose.

Zl.-Tkree cases of yellow fever have developed here within' the past twenty-four hours. All are Ital ians. One . victim has died and the twf other cases, discovered this morning, are said to be very low. The three infected Italians, with others of the same nationality, were brought up the river, to Gregory recently from Green ville, Miss., and employed at track work by the Burlington railroad. Yesterday one of the men, taken suddenly ill, was re ported dying and when physicians arrived they promptly reported the patient was suffering from' genuine yellow fever, lie was isolated promptly, but died within a few hours.

The first symptoms of my break down were diutregaing nervousness and a loss of flesh. The nervousness grew so bud that finally It amounted to actual prostration. Then cams stomach troubles, which were very painful, constipation which brought on piles, dyspepsia and severe nervous headaches. The doctors seemed powerless to help me, said I was overworked, and at last urged me to give up teaching, it j wished to save my life. "But this I .could not do. - I kept on at it as well as I could, each day growing more wretched, my will power alone keep ing me up, till at last a good angel sug gested that 1 try u diet of Grape-Nuts food, and from that day to this I have eaten It, finding It delicious, always appe tUlng and satisfying. I owe my complete restoration to health to Grupa-Nuts, and ray persistant's in using It.

HILL'S HAND IN THE FIGHT Great Northern Maanate-ts Thoua-ht. to Have III Rye on Ne braska. The Northwestern has not come In on the grain rate cut and there Is no new development in the contest at this end of the line. James J. Hill's abrupt action in cutting the rate on the Great Northern, however, stimulates Interest In the situation and railroad men believe It may have the ef fect of accentuating the fight which was precipitated between his and competing Missouri river-Chicago lines by Mr. Stick npy of the Great Western. While directly. It Is admitted Hlirs cut has no relation to matters here, Indirectly It may have a tremendous bearing. Pri marily the Great Northern magnate Is said to have made this cut as a stroke at his ancient enemy, Tom Lowrey of the Soo I road, in the competition for the grain of the northwest, but ultimately Hill s purpose Is believed to be of much deeper signifi cance. Indeed, the man whose eagle eye has discerned the wisdom of projecting his Great Northern into the great Nebraska grain belt as a means of one day hauling the grain of this state Into the Duluth harbor for transport east. Is right now be lieved to have' In his fertile mind tho scheme of precipitating rates lower than his other arch-rival, Stlckney, has yet dreamed of. The Burlington Is Hill's and tho Burlington covers Nebraska fairly well. Grain has hot started t'o move much as yet under the 'stimulus of the recent cut in the rates, as It Is too early for export in largo quantities, the bulk of the export grain moving In November and afterwards. Interesting figures on the movement of grain for the month of July have been prepared by the Burlington road which show that 47 per cent of all grain from Burlington territory went west and north toward Billings and Denver. 1 This is for feeders, with which the west ern country is filled. During the same period 24 per cent of the grain from Bur lington territory went to Kansifs City and the balance was miscellaneous. During the summer months the elevators of the south are practically closed and they do not receive much grain for ex port. When the season for export shipment really opens there will bo quite a contest for the hauling of the bumper crops of Nebraska, but until that time the grain la seeking its natural channels for the places Where it is needed. Some of the local grain companies con tinue to hold their wheat until they learn what the Northwestern is going to do in the matter of rates to Chicago. If there Is a rate cutting like that of last summer, they want to ship their grain under the lowest tariff. Eighty-three cars of grain were shipped Saturday and Sunday, most of it to Chicago, and it is said that there are about 100 cars to go Tuesday. All this Is on old sales and no new deals of any con sequence are being made with -Chicago until the rate question is settled. Sixty- five cars of wheat, 143 cars of corn and six run of oats came to Omaha Sunday. Most of the wheat will be stored. A latge por tlon of the corn will have to be shipped to fill old orders. LEAGUE' OUT FOR ONE MAN Good Government Organisation Is Formed to Boost Ex-Offlce Holder Back In Office. has stracV a snag.v. One of Its principal canvassers has unwittingly let out the Information that all of Its efforts are to be devoted primarily to accomplishing the nomination of one man for office. In spreading their cards and soliciting mem bership of "the 2,000" this man is said to have given it out to be distinctly under stood that the league was first for one mail, and after that for all It could get. A man living at Twenty-seventh and Burt streets was approached by a canvasser for the "Good Government league" to sign a card. He asked about the object of the league with particularity and was told that a certain discarded city official was to have the support of the league for a county office he seeks. The citizen almost unin tentionally balked, and then the canvasser tipped it all oft by saying: "Why, we must pick, our candidates or we can't do anything." To further questioning he admitted that primarily one man's nomination for county office was the principal object of the league, but "We want other good men, too." The voter sought as a member expressed the thought that the man named was not strong enough with the genera) voters and I " n'et by the declaration. "Well, we're i ""'""B to nominate him, anyway The canvasser got no signature. MERCHANTS 0F THE STATE Retail Dealers Will Hold a Two-Day Session at Auditorium In Omaha.
