NEW YORK, Sept. 22. In an Interview, Thomas G. Rapier, manager "of the New Orleans Picayune, who Is in this city, said yestorday that tho reports regarding yel low fever In New Orleans have been high ly colored. "The stories about- great panic among the people, flight of scores of thousands, amounting almost to depopulation; com plete stagnation of business: extreme fll thlncss of streets and concealment of the existence of fever after discovery are grossly exaggerated," he said. 'While auch. ridiculous tales as the burial of dead at night, yellow fever flags -on every square, stoppage of street car service and the discovery of a cow stabled in the sleeping and living apartment of . a largo family on the third floor are abso lutely without the .slightest foundation. "Business has bcenyiurt. of course, but not to the great extent that has been supposed. Tho retail business has suf--fered from the absence of more people than usual and the great economy of those who remain, waiting to bo assured that the fever could not develop into a serious epidemic Wholesale trade Is crippled because drummers cannot travel. Nevertheless, wholesale grocers and mer chants In some other lines are doing fully as well as last year." Referring to the work of those who are fighting the epidemic, he said: "The wonderful educational campaign of the last two months Is destined to have the most far-reaching beneficial effect on the growth of New Orleans. We no longer fight in the dark; -we know the enemy, and with its destruction will come unbounded prosperity and such rapid and solid development as must astonish even the most sanguine friends of the Queen .City of the South."

Early today the Boston police visited tho apartments of a physician to learn If any of his patients was missing, but noth ing was found that could in any way Im plicate him.

For sale by all drugsUU, ELKINS IS SMOOTH Has Scheme to Fool People on Rate Question. HE CANT FOOL ROOSEVELT Will Try to Palm- Off Useless Bill on Congress, and Senate Will Dodge Vote by Debate as Long as Possible. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Sept. 2L Senator Stephen B. Elklns Is one of the smoothest, sleekest and most adroit politicians In Congress. As chairman of the committee on inter state commerce Mr. Elklns will havti a great deal to do with the railroad rate legislation which is brought before the Senate at the coming session. Ho will probably report the bill to the Senate, he will have charge of the debate when the bill reaches the Senate (if such a time shall arrive), and he will do his very best to prevent the passage of a law, such as will be recommended by President Roost volt. - ' There Is no disguising the fact that Mr. Elklns is a railroad Senator, and that ho Is dead opposed to any rate legislation which is obnoxious to the roads. Ho docs not say this, of course. That Is not Elklns way. He says quite the contrary. He declares that he Is going to call his committee together about the middle of November to take up and frame a rail road rate bill prior to the assembling of Congress. He expresses confidence that Mb committee will frame a bill In two or three weeks "that will meet the approval of his colleagues and pass the Senate after a reasonable debate." And he says other things of lntorest, which have here tofore been quoted. Two Bills Will Be Reported. The fact Is the Senate committee on In terstate commerce is hopelessly divided on the railroad rate question, and It Is not believed that that committee can agree upon a bill In two weeks or In two months. In fact, the committee will not be anywhere near unanimous when It docs act, and two bills will be reported, one favored by Mr. Elklns which will not bo favored by the President, and another re ported by a minority, which will more closely meet the Ideas of the President and the men who really want to regulate rotlroad rates. Nobody knows what Mr. Elklns Is going to suggest, but whatever It is, he will represent that his plan is In the lntorest of the shippers and will afford adequate relief against railroad discriminations. But the Senate, or at' least the conscien tious members of the Senate, will look with suspicion upon this bill, for the West Virginia Senator has the reputation in Congress of being an obedient servant of the railroads, and it fc not believed he will bring forward any real rate-rcgu-latlng bill, at least one that will be ot such character as to cope with the situ ation. Would Juggle With Courts. Mr. Elklns would have each rate dis pute referred to the Circuit Judge in the circuit In which complaint Is made. There would be appeal to a court composed of nine circuit Judgen, one from each Judi cial circuit in the United States, and ap peal from this court would bo direct to the Supreme Court. Or. If he can't have this plan adopted. Mr. Elklns would have all rate disputes referred to circuit cpurt judges without the creation of a new court He would rob the Interstate Com merce Commission of what little authority It now has. All this 1? what Mr. Elklns says he will favor. But when Decembor rolls around and his committee gets down to business, something may happen to change bis mind. There Is no "telling what he lu going to do. The probabilities are that the House will pa.s a railroad rate Mil early in the new year, shortly after the holiday re cess. This bill may not be all the Presi dent woud like, but It will approach the legislation he favors, and will represent the effort of men who are honestly anxi ous to regulare railroad rates. Notwithstanding what Mr. Elklns sayj the Sonate will not act hurriedly; there Ip not one chance in a hundred that the Senate committee will have concluded Its deliberations by the time the bill passes the House. This will give the opposition Senators . further excupe for prolonging committee consideration, and the proba bilities are it will be well Into the session before the two reports, majority and mi nority, are brought out of the Senate committee. Meaning of "Reasonable" Debate. Mr. Elklns gives the country assur ance that the rate bill will be passed by the Senate after "reasonable" de bate. That word "reasonable," as used in Congress, means about the same as the word "soon" when used by the late Statistician Hyde, of the Agricultural Department, in telling when he will re turn to this country from England. It may mean anything. Reasonable de bate can range anywhere from ten min utes to ten montbs. and in tho case of the rate bill. It Is nearer ten months than ten minutes, as understood by Mr. Elklns. The railroad rato debate In the Sen ate Is going to be as long- and as dry and uninteresting as the statehood de bate in the last Congress. Most of tho speeches will be made to empty desks; only the speeches of a fow prominent Senators wlU be listened to carefully. Most Senators will know at the begin ning of the debate how they will vote If they have to; the debate will not change their vlevws. particularly as they will not listen to the debate. But while the debate Is running, Mr. Elklns, with the aid of some other very able and experienced Senators, will lay all manner of traps to preJ vent a vote on the bill favored by tho President, and if they see a vote can not be averted, will endeavor to force the passage of the comparatively harm less bill which Mr. Elklns will report. Can't Fool Roosevelt. The Senate, by substituting a harm less bill for the House bill, could make all manner of claims as to how it was endeavoring to Intelligently solve this great problem, could declare the House bill Impractical, and Inject enough tech nicality Into the argument to fool the public, or a considerable portion of it But. the Senate can't fool the President, and. If the Senate tries to palm off a worthless measure as a substitute for the House bill, the President will tako the matter In hand and undeceive tho public and the House. It Is well understood In Washington that the Senate, or a majority of the Senate, would prefer to take no vote on a rate bill of any kind. For this reason, it is expected that every man ner of parliamentary delay will be brought Into play to stave off action. There aro a number of Senators, friends of the railroads, some of them elected by railroad Influence who would be obliged to vote for the President's rate bill If It came to a vote and yet they know the consequences that would at tend such a vote. These men are be tween the mighty influence of the rail roads and a well-defined public senti ment and the middle course of non action Is the safest one they can take. But Mr. Elklns does not want It to go -before"' the country that' way. He wants the public to believe he and his colleagues are in sympathy with the President, and will do what they can to aid In passing a rate bllL But those who know Mr. Elklns can Imagine the twinkle In his eye when he publicly p.fjfessed his Interest In securing early action on the rate bill. Steve Elklns is a "smooth un." FUNERAL DIRECTORS ELECT W. C. Macoy, of McMlnnrille, Is Chosen President.

According to the best poets time has a heavy foot, a tooth, a forelock and breakable legs. It travels In divers paces; It ambles, trots, gallops, runs, rolls and stands still: It has whips; It crops roses. So far It seems like a horse. But It has a fore finger. Also a reckless hand that writes wrinkles. This explodes tho horse theory. Furthermore, time flies. Hence "a bird of a time." Time Is money: being also a bird, time Is a gold eagle, perhaps; mo'ney is the root of all evil, and procrastination Is the thief of time. Therefore, procrastination la (1) a chicken thief, (2) a good thing. The wickedness of time Is beyond ques tion. It Is vindictive. "I wasted time, mourns King Richard, "and now doth time waste me." Time waits for no man. Time shall throw a dart at thee. Tlmo robs us of our Joya. Time will tell. Time la unthinking. Time possesses Its debtors. The time is out of Joint, and well It may be. considering what a nuisance It Is. Time Is a aea. a sandy beach, a bank, a shoal and an abysm. Also It Is a whirligig, which seems odd when we recall that tlc is quiet as a nun. Time is good," bad. high, fine, rough hot. Christmas. Spring, waltz, common and lovely. Among good times may bo mentioned quitting time and dinner time. Deadly Affray at Koadhonse. CHATTANOOGA. Tenn., Sept 22.

Most of the time it was1 a dull, heavy ache over the kidneys, and often at the end of the day I felt fatigued and used up. Trouble with the kidney secretions existed also. Passages were too frequent and were accompanied with pain. My condition was growing worae all the time, when I happened to read an advertisement of Doan's Kid ney Pills, and at the suggestion of my wife I got a box. I took the pills as di rected and felt their beneficial effects right away. In a short time the back ache disappeared and the secretions Re sumed their normal appearance and condition.
