Though there was an increase today botn
in the number of cases ana 01 1a1.nn.1en
hopefulness continued to pervade the fed
eral headquarters touching the local yellow
fever situation. 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.
The marine hospital service today ordered

GREGORY, Mo., Aug. Zl.-Tkree cases of
yellow fever have developed here within'
the past twenty-four hours. All are Ital

other cases, discovered this morning, are
said to be very low.
The three infected Italians, with others
of the same nationality, were brought up

by the Burlington railroad. Yesterday one
of the men, taken suddenly ill, was re

FALSE HUNGER
A Symptom of stomavh Trouble Cor.
reeled by Good Food.
There is with some forms of stomach
disease, an ubnorinal craving for food
which is frequently mistaken for a "good
appetite. a lady teacher writes from
Cartilage, Mo., to explain how with good
food sne dealt witn this sort of hurtful
hunger.
"i have taught school for fifteen years."
she wrles, "and 'up to nine' years ago had
good, average hc-ulth. My diet was always
generous, cympi lulng whatever I took a
fancy to. I ata freely. Nine years ago,
however, my health begun to fail, and
tural continued to grow worse, steadily, in
spile, of doctor's . prescriptions, frequent
etianges of residence and everything 1
could do. During all this time mv m.i.e.
tlte continued good, only the more 1 dta
the more I wanted to eat I was always
hungry-. 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. My weight has
returned, and for more than two years
I have been free from tbe nervousness,
constipation, plies, headaches, and all the
ailments that used to punish me so, and
have been able to work freely and easily."

holds certificates to the face value of up

did not offer prices sufficiently high The
commissioner thinks he can barter the
paper to better advantage than letting it
go back for appearance again under the
hammer. Moreover he would like to keep
occupied as long as he is drawing salary
from the city for an office which exists
only in name.
The councllmen seemed to view bis plan

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

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.

lars for Ilelns; Drunk aad
Too Noisy,
Rev. John Andrew Pope, A- B., B. D., the
colored preacher who was interested a week
or so ago In organizing a colored Presby

Rev. Mr. Pope did not have much to say
for himself one way of, the other when
brought before the police maglntrata. He
stated he had shipped his household goods
to Kansas City, and at the time of the
arrest last Saturday evening wus on his
way to lie train for Kawvllle. The report
at police headquarters states It required
several policemen to arrest Pope, and po
lice officials say Mr. Pope shocked, a num
