Suspicious Cases 'ear Cairo JeckHon
Citizens Determined That Quaran
tine Shall Be Kespected.
Mobile, Ala., Sept. 18. There has
been an accumulation of cases today.
The president of the board of health
states that, had the physicians recog
nized and reported promptly the sus
picions cases, many of these cases would
have been announced several days ago.
The number announced' today is 11,
making 18 in all so far announced, of
which number three have died, two of
which were previously reported, and
one was today discharged. Three sus
picions cases are under surveillance.
Frank Donaldson, one of the day's
new cases, died tonight. C. L. Swayzie,
the Associated Press operator at the
Register office, asw taken sick tonight.
There has been a quarantine- line
drawn from Chesabogue creek, north of
Mobile, some five miles northwesterly
to the Mississippi, to form an absolute
embargo against Mobilians penetrating
into the interior of Alabama. This
trocba is guarded continuously.
Some 200 people from this city started
out into the country this morning, in
tending to take refuge at farms from 10
to 15 miles out. They encountered the
guards at the trocha and were stopped
there. At 6 o'clock most of the immi
grants were still there in the open air,
fearing to return to the city and not able
to go further.
The people here are still in a panic,
and leaving whenever they can.

Yellow Fever.
New Orleans, Sept. 18. A trifling
improvement in the fever situation
marked the close of the day's work on
the board of health. There were two
deaths today, aB against one yesterday,
but there were fewer new cases. At 6
o'clock this evening there were still two
cases under investigation by the experts.
Of the cases investigated today, four
were declared by the experts to be
yellow fever, and, as usual, they were
widely scattered. This is the record :
Deaths E. Harmon and Santa Graf-
fato.
New cases Marie Dubois, Rafael
Fourtien, C. G. Gormon and Melchier.
As a general rnle, the patients who
are suffering with yellow fever are re
ported tonight to be improving, withtha
exception of Dr. Lovell, whose condition
is not considered satisfactory.
There have been a total of 35 cases
here, and the death rate has not reached
10 per cent, thus showing the mildness
of the type of the fever now prevailing.
Marion Dowden, a member of the
Ouachita guards, who were guarding the
city, was accidently shot this morning
at Monroe by Henry McCormick, a fellow-member,
and it is not thought that

tion prevails all over the state, and the
strictest regulations are enforced. Trains
bearing passengers through the state
are moving with the doors of the cars
locked, joBt as Chinamen are sent under
bond through this country to Cuba,
Everybody who is able to move is fleeing
to the country. Business in many of
the towns is almost at a standstill.
"The cotton crop, which is only one
third harvested, is the heaviest, is the
history ot the state, and if the epidemic
spreads the loss will be incalculable.
Everything depends upon the success of
the authorities in holding the fever in
side the line between New Orleans and
Mobile.

Postal Authorities Investigating a Man
Francisco Concern.
San Fbancisco, Sept. 18. The local
postal authorities are investigating the
affairs of a concern known ae the "Klon
dike Shipping & Information Bnreau,"
of this city, which is alleged to be using
the mails for illegal purposes. The pro
moter of the concern is Dennis O'Don
novan Rossa, who has caused circulars
to be distributed all over the country,
through the mails, containing the claim
that 150 women were wanted at Dawson
City; that profitable employment would
be guaranteed them, and that they
could secure passage through the bureau
for $200, which could be paid in weekly
installments. Hundreds of letters have
been received at the office of the bureau
within the past few weeks, and ruany
women have called in person. The
alleged fake was brought to light through
J. C. Stuart, who was employed by
Rossa as press agent, but whom be failed
to pay for bis services. Stuart says he
was led to believe that Rossa was backed
by some Stockton merchants, but as
soon as he found that they were myths,
he severed bis connection with the
bureau.
Sick stomach means sick man (or
woman).
Why not be well?
Sick stomach comes from poor food,
poor nourishment; means poor health,
poor comfort. Shaker Digestive Cordial
means health and a well stomach.
If we could examine our stomach we
would understand why it is that so little
will put it out of order.
But, unless we are doctors, we never
see our stomach. We don't feel it. We
would feel it less if we took Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
Shaker Digestive Cordial makes your
stomach digest all the nourishing food
you eat, relieves all the symptoms of in
digestion, acts as a tonic and soon
makes you feel well and strong again.
The more you take, the less you feel
of your stomach.
