Gclphl was a son of prominent peo ple here and had been spending some time at Ocean Springs, where he was taken down with the fever. Soon after arriving, despite the best medi cal attendence, be died, Steps were promptly taken to prevent a possible spread of the disease. As the case was one of importance, the doctors ex pressed their confidence that they will be able to check the spread of the disease. The death of young Gelphi natur ally caused no little excitement In the city among the public. Physicians, however, expressed no apprehension, and state their belief that it was quite possible to arrest the spread of the fever. The board during the day ordered a rigid quarantine against all points on the Gulf coast, and have taken every precaution to guard against the entry Into the city of any person from Ocean Springs. 'We have no fear," t-aid Dr. Walms ley, acting president of the board of health, "that the fever will spread In New Orleans. The oard of health Is prepared to spend $1,000,000 to stamp It out, and we see no reason to feel alarmed. People ought not to get frightened." Reports. Jackson, Miss., Sept. 7. Governor McLaurin has Just recelyed the fol lowing telegram from two members of the state board of health, who went to Ocean Springs, Miss., to investi gate the yellow feycr scare.

IN HIS FRIENDS' HANDS. T. T. Geer Says He Has Not Decided to Accept Land Office. Walter Lyon in thoOrcgonlan, Scut. 7. Mr. Gcer was In the city today, and when spoken to regarding his appoint ment as register of the land office at Oregon City, said ttiat ho had not yet decided to accept the office, should he be appointed, that ho would act upon the advhe of friends, who have tiio mutter under consideration. lie said further that he know, and everybody else knew, that ho had the best rec ommendations in tho state for the office of collector of customs, and that the delegation had disregarded and evaded, in fact, had practically defied his application and recommendations. He said that he felt ho had not been accorded' fair treatment In the mutter. Mr. Geer declined to say anything fur ther in regard to tlie matter, A policeman on the forco In Salem has been suspended on the alleged ground of neglect of duty. The neg lect was discovered at a time when there is very little requiring polico Vigilance In the city. Tho suspended officer had expressed himself as op posed to the methods employed to land I. L. Patsersou in tho custom house at Portland, and to manipulate thcclty, county and,a8 far as possible, the politics of tho state. Mayor Richardson Is electioneering with the city council for a man to 1111 the sus pended officer's place. His man Is one ot the ten "special" polico the mayor appointed durning the legislature last winter to take charge of tho state house and run in members to the Mitchell convention. JOURNAL "X-RAYS." T. T. Geer may be a good farmer, but ills experience at mixing corn meal is altogether too limited. Tom McNary Is receiving some high endorsements for police officer to succeed John Gamble. Torn Is not tho Y. P. S. C. E., candidate. Mayor Pap Richardson's new dog ordinance has collected about $400 out of Salem's citizens, but notono penny of it has gone into the treasury. In fact It has caused some warrants to bo issued against the busted city treasury. Will T. T. Geer accept a position the income from which Is little over $100 a month ?

If a fly drops into a beer glass, one who has made a study of characteris tics can easily tell the drinker's na tionality by his action. A Spaniard pays for the beer, leaves it on the table, and goes away with out saying a word. A Frenchman will do tho same, ex cept that he swears while he goes. An Englishman spills tho beer and orders another glass. A German carefully fishes out the fly, and drinks tho beer as if nothing had happened. A Russian drinks tho beer with the fly. A Chinaman fishes out the lly, swallows It then throws the beer away. Fliegende Blatter. "Geer was the only man on the stump in Oregon who made votes for McKlnley last fall," said a prominent Oregon City Republican today. "He wants to be collector of customs, and ho ought to have the office; tho peo ple of the whole state concede that to him. Andy Gilbert was given pre ference over Geer by tho state ad ministration, and now Gilbert's part ner is permitted to stand In his way for federal appointment that he should Justly have. It strikes mo that tho 'Salem hog' is branching out." Oregonlan. At tub Postoffioe. During tho month of Auguft tho receipts at the Salem postofflco for stamps, postal cards, stamped envelops, and news paper wrappers amounted to $1078.80. For the corresponding month last year the receipts amounted to $1055.10 Indicating about the same volume of business transacted. Melons.

A San Francisco Man in Serious Trouble, Washington, Sept. 7. The little Village of Laurel, Md., 10 miles from Washington, is much excited over a murder mystery. A boy hunting In the woods near the village .'ound u nude human body. The coroner of the county was notified and went to the place. Ho found tlmt tho body was that of a woman In such un' ad vanced state of decomposition as to make Idcntlhcatlon very difficult If not Impossible. The head had bctn completely severed from the body, ns had also tho left hand and left foot. Tho hand and foot were missing, but tho head lay a short distance from tho body. It Is Impossible to estimate tho age of the woman correctly, but she seemed to have been under 50. The nails of the right hand seemed to have been well cared for and Indicated that the woman hud not been accus tomed to hard work. As far as learned no woman is miss ing In that locality, nnd the officials have no clew as to tho murderer. The Luetgert Case. Chicago, Sept. 7. An Important conference has been held be tween the state's attorneys and ex perts In the Luertgcrt murder casc,-ln which tho corpus jdelicts was under discussion. If the stato catu'proVo conclusively that the corpus delicts can show that portions of tho body of a human being wcro taken from tho fatal vat and from the ashes of tho furnace, it will havo a cass of remark able strength. The great point Is the Identification of tho human bones found near tho outhouso,wliere Frank Ororasky said ho dumped tho residue of tho vat, and of tho bones found In the ashes from the furnace. None of tho parties In conference would tell definitely of the results. Accused of Murder. St. Paul, Sept. 7. Paul Wilson, of San Francisco, Is accused us tho per petrator of u mysterious murder In this state. A week ago tho body of Ramie Duchard, of Faribault, was found In an unfrequented part of tho town of nopkins, In Ilcnncpincounty, with a bullet hole In the head. The town marshal has asked for a warrant for murder against Wilson, now serving a 00 days sentence In the county Jail on u charge of assanlt, the claim being that Wilson murdered Duchard on July 24. The officers be lieve there Is sufficient evidence against Wilson, although It is purely circumstantial, to warrant laying tho case before the grand Jury. City Council Meeting. This evening It Is expected that a meeting or the city council will bo held. Asldo from routine business little will he transacted except to consider the matter of retaining Po lico Officer Gamble, who has been removed for alleged cause, A peti tion will be 'presented for his rein statement, on the ground thut ho has been an economical officer In refusing to make numerous and miscellaneous arrests. Tho point Is also made that a public officer should not be removed, until some charge is proven against him. The petition Is signed by some of Salem's best citizens and heavy tax payers, and will no doubt receive Just recognition. Fall Suitings, The latest fall and winter suitings and trouserings havo Just been received. They ure the up-to-date designs and will suit tho most fastidious. C. II.

John A.Gordon, ot Lns Animas county, a straight democrat, was nominated for Justice of the supeme court, by the decisive vote or 233 to 107. A notable event was the announce ment made on the floor of tho conven tion, by a sliver Republican, that Judge Hayt, who who wns nominated on Friday ut Denvor, and tho silver Republicans of Olenwood would not except tho Denver nomination be cause It would necessitate his endorse ment of the St. Louis platform whereas his sympathies were with the ticket nominated at Chicago. The platform, after referring to W. J. Bryan, and predicting his election tu the presidency in looo, says: I "Wo believe that the free wulapo of silver at tho ratio of 10 to fo bo tho paramounMs'Uiu before tho people of this nation." "Government by Injunction" was touched on. the cause of tho striking coal miners of other states Indorsed, and administration of Governor Adams commeded. Tho platform then says: "We recoglzo tho bountiful crops of the country and the falluro of crops in competing countries asplendcd ad vantage to-our people by raising the price of farm products, but wo dcploro the famine In ether lands and desire a prosperity that does not depend upon the adversity of the balanco of the world." Fine Horse-, Mr. R. C. Sheltoo, local agent for the Standard Oil Co., last week bought a fine span of daplo gray marcs for shipment to Portland. They weighed 3200 pounds, and wore as line u match team as has been shipped from bore for many a year. Mr. Shelton has or ders for several more spans for deliv ery in the near future. Mr. Shelton says thcro is a line field for buying choice stock of this kind In tho vicin ity of Salem, lie bajs u few years more or tho same lino of breeding that tho farmers have practiced In tho past five years an entiro new stock or su perior horses would bo tho result. It is already apparent. Shipp Wins. Salem may well feel proud of tho record her champion bi cyclist, Watt Shipp, Is making this rail.

HOPS SPOILING VERY FAST. Many Say There Will Be But Small Crop Harvested. MARION. St. Paul, Sept. 7.-In Marlon county many men who havo hop yards will never depend on tho hop growers association nga n claiming it was the rault or the association that the pick ers aro scarce, inasmuch as they didn't raise tho price until tho pick ers were disgusted and left ror home. At lower river points men who be longed to the association saw there was going to bo a Kcarclty of pickers and boarded tho boats and corralled the pickers at advanced prices of tho association, securing what they needed and entirely ignoring tho prices agreed upon. Many growers claim that tho asso ciation has Injured Individuals quite extensively, and it will bo years be fore they can enlist the conildenco of hop growers Into such a combine again. While boats wcro returning to Portland laden with pickers, growers tried to hall them ashore with offers of BO and oven CO cents a box, but they were entirely disgusted and went right on by. AtButtoyllle hops aro spoiling fast. Growers of experience predict thnt should tho present cloudy, rainy weather continue, tho hoptcrop will bo entirely ruined In u few days. Many yards have not had 11 picker In them yet, and many have given" np-ull hope of over getting pickers, and somo of the growers aro in a lamentable plight. During the past forty-olght hours, says tho Eugene Guard, the leading hop growers of Lane county arc unam Imous in tho opinion that a very small crop cf hops will bo tho result of tho harvest In tho county. Hardly any of them predict over a third of a crop. And in this computation it must be remembered that lb Is mado on tho basis that tho greater portion of thoso unhurvested will yet bo saved. Mould Is appearing in nearly every yard and spreading rapidly, and the present showery weather is when It nourishes best. Ono grower said his hop crop would fall 15,000 pounds below his estimate, anotlior 17,000 lbs, another 20,000, whllo soveral stato tho amount all tho way from 10,000 to 15,000. It has been a hard year on tho pro ducers ot hops. Universal Satisfaction. There was probably never a presidential ap pointment made but what somo ono was displeased, but In raanufacurlng and placing tho 10-cent La Corona In the market, Mr, Iluckcstelu did the right thing. It has been endorsed by all smokers as the best "10 qentcr" in tho market. It gives universal sat isfaction. Tho ilneso chect seed at Browster & White's, 01 Court street. 0-3-97.
