A Million Dollar will be Expended to Inp prest the Dread Disease. . The Louisiana State Board of Health kept faith with its sister bodies of the South and the rest of the country when it made official announcement Monday, as a result of a careful au topsy that Raoul Gelpl, 13-years-old. had died of yellow fever at New Or leans. Gelpl was the son of promin ent people, and had been spending some time at Ocean Springs, Miss., where he was taken down with fever and brought homo. Soon after avvlv Ir.g, despite the best medical attention, he died. "We have no fear," said Dr. Welms ley, acting president of the Hoard of Health, "that the fever will spread In New Orleans. The Board of Health Is prepared to spend a million dollars to stamp It out, and we see no reason to feel alarmed. People ought not to get frightened. This one case was taken charge of In time, and such scientific fumigation has been applied as to war rant the hope that we shall promptly and effectively stamp out the disease. We have made arrangements to issue a circular to every practicing physi cian In New Orleans, commanding them to report to the Hoard of Health every suspicious case of fever. We have made arrangements to act promptly In every case and If, un fortunately other casese of yellow fe ver shall be brought to our attention, we shall without delay notify the world through the press of the facts." Dr. Walmsley was disposed to hold the representatives of the Marine Hos pital service and the Mississippi Hoard of Health to some responsibility for the invasion. He said that the fever had unquestionably been communicat ed by the constant intercourse of Ocean Springs with Ship Island, where there Is a United States government quarantine station. Ships from all por tions of the world touch there. A large number from tropical countries, where yellow fever Is Indigenous to the soil, report there weekly. There has been steady and uninterrupted communication between the island nnd the coast towns, and Dr. Walms ley has little or no doubt that this has been the means of bringing Into Ocean Springs the deadly germs of yellow fe ver. If a rigid quarantine had been maintained . between the island and shore, he believes that Ocean Springs wxuld now have little else to contend with than the dengue fever. Immu nity from epidemic, however, has had a tendency to breed carelessness, nnd the result is to be found In the erlnmlty which has befallen the pop ular sound resort. lug In of a small coal bnnk last Satur day at Pittsburg.

He went to the region In the spring of 1896 a poor man, and returned a year later with $112,000 In gold, and owning prop erty w hich he says is worth $18,000,000. He will return again to continue his operations. Ills private secretary, J. M. Evans, a newspaper man of the Northwest const on his way to New York, wns In St. Paul the other day, nnd told of the wonderful success of Mr. Stanley. According to Mr. Ev.ans, the Klon dyke Is a country of strange sights and strange features. The coldest weather Is the most healthful. There is no disease peculiar to the country. Rheumatism is the prevalent ailment, but the disease is brought there In the human system and the climate and conditions merely develop it. One sel dom has a headache from an ordinary di'iiiigenient of the system. Snow falis only to a very thallow depth to two nnd a half feet at the greatest. It comes down as fro.it, never In flakes. Sometimes it seems that the snow is coming from the earth and not com ing down from the sky. It seldom ruins. The water In the streams al ways comes from the snow and Ice, nnd It Is always cold. There are more llii s and mosquitoes in the warm sea son than anywhere else on earth, and In July the temperature Is ns high as on tho Sahara. The ground never thaws out completely, however. F. Powers, of Maysvllle, O., with a partner, made $120,oon each out of one claim they discovered last winter, and then sold It for $120,000. Powers Is on his way home, ami says the Klon dyke is the richest country in the world. A LARGE CAE00. More than 300.000 Bushels of Cereals Leave Baltimore on One Trip.

Their vi.lue amounted to the enormous Hum of $10,243.3111, figures nevi r before r ached, of the exports, grain fnrmd the largest part, aggregating 9,2:io.6S0 hui-.hels, breaking the record of the port shipments of this character. These were made up as follows; Five million, four hundred and seventy-five thou sand, eight hundred and ninety-six bushels of wheat; :i,,ri7ri,70: bushels of torn: Ptf.riC bushels of rye; 60,000 bu shels of oats.

Fails for Millions, Kniico Mathou, the well-known ban ker nnd promoter of several gigantic schemes in Central America, has fail ed for over $3,000,000. His principal creditors are said to be Europeans, but a San Francisco firm is said to be a sufferer to the extent of $180,000. Ma thou's assets are estimated at $2,B0U, 000, but consist for the most part of property In the vicinity of Guatemala, which can not ne otsposea or ror nair their assessed valuation. The cause assigned for the failure Is the heavy depreciation of stiver and the collapse of the real estate boom Inaugurated by President Barrios eeveral years ago. Large Purchases in Raw York. William F. King, president of the Merchants' association, of New York, says: "I am satisfied that a reasonable estimate of the purchases made In this city throughout the month of August, In all line of goods, would show an ag gregate expenditure of nearly $160,000, t 000. This is a very large total, but when you consider that the purchases of some Individual firms run from $50, 000 to $100,000 you will see that the es timate Is not wide of the mark. GREETED BY THOUSANDS, eXialajr Addresses the Children at Colom bo. YUiU Grant's Cottage. President McKlnley and party arriv ed at Columbus Friday as guests of the Ohio state board of agriculture. They were preceded by Hon. James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, who rejoined them here. With the president came Mrs. McKlnley, Senator and Mrs. Han na. Secretary and Mrs. Alger. Col. and Mrs. Myron Henick. Webb C. Hayes and other personal friends. The committee of reception appoint-, ed by the board of agriculture escorted the president between lines of police to carriages. The crowd In the vicinity of the station was Immense, the wea ther being fine and the attendance at the fair very large. It is variously estimated that be tween 75.000 and 100.000 people were ga thered on the state fair grounds to greet President McKlnley. but only a fraction of this number were able to hear the brief speech which he deliv ered. It was school children's day, and thousands of little folks were scat tered through the crowd. President McKlnley directed his remarks in part to them. After visiting the cottage In which Grant was born, which Is enclos ed In a building and is the property of the farmers of Ohio, to remain perma nently, the president held an Informal levee In the office of Secretary Miller. There was great cheering when the president and his party appeared on tho balcony of the exposition building. The balcony was beautifully decorated. The vast crowd spread out over sever al acres. After the applause which greeted tho president subsided, the Fourteenth regiment band played "America," and the vast assemblage took up the familiar strain, making a great chorus. Secretary Miller of the state bonrd of agriculture Introduced the president, who said: "My Fellow Citizens I feel that It Is almost a hopeless task to undertake to make myself heard by this great as semblage of my fellow citizens. It Is peculiarly gratifying to me, after more than eighteen months of absence from the capital city of my state, to return to these beautiful agricultural grounds to meet my old friends and my fellow citizens with whom, for so many years, I have been associated in the past. If I had been naked to select a greeting most agreeable to myself. It would be that greeting which the committee has prepared of the children of the schools of the state assembled on these ground to-day." President McKlnley spent Sunday at Cnnton. During the day he accom panied his mother to church and lis tened to a Bermon by Rev. Dr. C. E. Manchester, his old comrade in arms, To Assissinale tuc President. Mayor Black received a letter con taining a threat that the writer Inten ded to assasslnnte President McKlnley during his visit to Columbus. It bore a postmark which Indicated that It had been mailed In this city, but of course was signed wlh a fictitious name. MINERS WAITING.. I REfEKGEFUL MUST Oil POLICE WOUNDED. She Kined Colored Baby.

They are, however,- using their best effort to keep the men from returning to work, but only with moderate success. The movement towards a settlement has gone so far that all see that West Vir ginia will cut a small figure, and men are going back to work where the chance offers. The men on strike In the various re gions held meetings Monday to select delegates to attend the Columbus con vention. These delegates were In structed to oppose any settlement that does not Include West Virginia and other regions outside of Pennsylvania unci Ohio. The West Virginia strikers hardly expect to have any weight in the con vention, but they will deem It unjust If their claims are not recognized, and will ho in position to warn the national organization that If West Virginia is deserted in the hour of victory it will be unwise ever to say sympathy in that State again. Labor Commissioner Isnac Barton, of Wheeling, has Just returned after nn extended trip through the coal fields of the State. He was detailed for this work by Governor . Atkinson. Of tho 22,000 miners of the State, he finds that 10,000 are idle. Of these 4.000 are New River men and 4,000 Kanawha miners. In both regions tho suspension la prac tically complete.

One hundred strikers met a crowd of miners accompanied by the mine su perintendent, Frank Strasser, at Wash ington, Ind., on the way to sturt the mine, the other morning.
