The Discovery Ih Known fix Anllaiii

l New Orleans Oct. .".The dreaded
'scourge of yellow fever which recently
tliuost threw this city into a panic
could have been much more quickly
clombatted and the public fears allayed
hiid the authorities been in possession
ofj a new serum discovered by an
I u'il in ii meiKcnl savant.
'l.'he new serum is known as anti
innrji. Its discoverer Is Dr. Sanarelli
whose experiments while In Hrazil and
I'rujL'iiay resulted in the discovery of
the yellow fever germ. There Is no
question in the minds of the physicians
here jeven those who can look back to.
the dread days of 1S7S that had we
been l)lesscd with the possession of this
sertini.'i the danger of epidemic would
have been entirely averted. As It Is in
New Orleans in yellow fever times one
never feels safe until frost the one al
ways successful foe of yellow jack puts
in an appearance.
No ons who does not live Is-low the
-ISth degree of north latitude the north-
ern boundary of the district subject to
yellow fever can Imagine the absolute
error which the news of the presence
of this fejirful scourge Inspires. There
fore it Is; no exaggeration to say thut
the luiiiina that fell to the children of
Israel in the wilderness was no .more
grateful than the news received here
from a reliable source that Sanurelll's
discovery In all probability meant a new
weapon iigalnst tne lever aut one wnicn
would be available at any moment.
The news of the discovery of this
scrum and the fact that the Italian
savant hud his attention directed to
New Orleans as a field of experiment if
ever opportunity offered was brought
here by an American physician recently
arrived from Montevideo. He states
that Sanarelli told him that he believed
that Now' Orleans would offer if it ever
liecume unfortunate enough n field for
experiment superior to that of any
other place In North America owing to
the peculiar climatic conditions existing
in the city and its surroundings.
He told this physician also that while
at present it was Impossible for him to
snare nnv of the serum he had made
as soon as It was possible he would for-
ward to him here at New Orleans a
small supply to be used in case of an
outbreak of fever. If this physician
hml ihnt Kimnlv now. he could sell it for
triple ves quadruple its weight in gold.
While 'the fever here has practically
been checked for while the run can not
be Instantly stayed fresh outtireaus can
the panicky1 feeling is evident on every
hand. Small wonder is there that this :
is the ciiHe when one recalls that the
iioniirirp has:' left Its mark in other
years has seared the city so dreadfully
that even the mention of It fairly ex-
cites terror.
It is less than twenty years since the
deaths fromi yellow fever In New Or-
leans and Memphis exceeded 5000 with-
in one month. This was in the autumn
of 1S7S when the Mississippi valley
bore far more the appearance of a vast
charnel house than of the populous
fruitful country which It ordinarily ap-
pears to be. There are those living yet
who remember how death traveled the
Mississippi aiiid the Ohio on board the
steam tug John D. Porter and its two
barges. Two long months did th s
'riuuivirate ;of disease-stricken era It
move up and down the Mississippi and

nicated the fever to the town of Gall -polls.

of them. Th Khostly p lnirue ah ip. or
Vunderdecken. and his Flying Dutch-
man were never more dreaded than
these three 'spreaders of the yellow
death. At GiUlipolis. Ohio on the
morning of August 10. 1878. the en-
gineers of thi; tug refused to work any
longer and nin the boat alongside the
bank where all hands except two men
and the doctor deserted. It was from
New Orleans that the tug and Its
barges brough the cargo of which yel-
low jack was master.
V pitiful story is told of the last
outbreak of fever of any nnWcJ!'
which took 'place in 1888. AH Louisi-
ana was in dire distress when none
knew at what moment the deaths
head might I leer in nt the door. Ap-
parently sporadic cases were heaul ol
on every- hand. Dr. IIIeureaux a phy-
sician of New Orleans learned that at
the house of a fanner out toward Hayou
Christian the disease had found sev-
eral victims; all of whom were In a piti-
able state. The doctor who had no
fear of yellow jack drove out to tne
place and found that the majority of
the family had gone. Across the road
from the house sat the owner beside a
brightlv burning bonfire of pine logs
lie told the doctor that his son was
sick in the house bur that he was
afraid to go to him.
The doctor went in and searched the
dwelling which he found to be In a con-
dition simply frightful but discovered
oLtii nF tlie natient. At last behind
the kitchen Stove lay a form thnt he at
first thought was that of n negro but
on examination discovered that the Ul-
vear-old bovl fevered thirsty and Hying
from the dread disease had crawled
about on the filthy Hoots of his home in
. v.iin senrcli for water and had nt Inst
collapsed on' the spot where ho was
found. .' ....
This is one of a hundred instances.
Yellow jack; drives courage from men
who have fearlessly faced death and

thing so horrible alvout it that one be-
comes tremedously alarmed with ap-

thing that no one knows unless It be
that certain conditions or me atmos-

For October The Drought Huh Dried

Dm inn lie to Fanners.
Chicago Oct. 5. Extremely hot weath-
er for the month of October is now pre-
vailing in this section. During the past
twenty-four bonis the thermometer in
this city went up lo S(i degrees and the
signal service say this is the highest
point that has been registered for the
month of October in twenty-seven years.
Dense smoke aggravated the coiulKious.
On account of the drought of the last two
months everything is as dry as tinder
mid forest ami prairie tires are numer
ous. Lake Michigan lias been inside al
most uniinvigable on account of the sumkc
and fog. Captains on Incoming vessels
have reported a must alarming state of
aitairs. Many had not slept for forty-
eight hours on account of the watchful-
ness that was necessary li.iats knock-
ing their way through the straits of
Mackinaw were particularly hampered.
Landmarks were utterly obliterated and
lights rendered indistinct at ti distance
of the length of the steamer. The smoke
was attributed to excessive forest fires.
Hunting parties careless in their camp-
ing are thought to have startedllic
1 1 road conllagrutions.
Chicago s southern wards and suburbs
are surrounded by prairie fires and dcise
smoke overhangs u large portion of the
city south of Seventy-fifth street.
Hundreds of acres of prairie have been
burned over and thousands of t'crt of
sidewalks and fences have been con-
sumed. Fin men in this division i.f the
city are completely exhausted fighting
fires by day and night. Most of the
fires are started by sparks from locomo-
tives nnd frequently by mischievous boys
who set the grass on lire for the excite-
ment. A dispatch from Rremeii. 1ml mvs
the most disastrous prairie fire known in
the history of Marshall county is now
raging. Hundreds of acres of land in
the northern portion of the county com-
prising what is known as the "Rig
.Marsha is one vast sniolderinir waste.
At times when f aimed by breeze the
heat bursts into a blaze and ilnrtinir
across clover meadows cornfields and
piibt tires sets lire to and lays waste
everything in its path only stopping
when headed off by plowed fields or
hideaways. The drought of the last sixty
days has made the pastures brown com-
pelling stock to seek the low lands for
grazing where the fire is sniolderinir un
derneath. Many instances are reported
where cuttle in passing over the treach
erous ground have broken through into
the burning area and perished. Fanners
are kept busy day and night fighting the
flumes and preventing destruction of their
homes but the lack of water makes the
battle almost hopeless. Just west of
Walkerton more than 1000 acres have
been swept of every vestige of vegetation.
Many thousands of tons of bay have
been consumed. The large barn of Jo-
seph Kirkley was in the path of the
tlumcs and together with its contents
composed of bay grain and farm ma-
chinery was burned. With fire on every
side great anxiety is being felt for the
safety of towns without fire protection.
Nothing short of a drenching rain can
lossibly check the progress of the Humes.
