New Orleans, Sept. 27.—Br.
John Guiteras, the noted yellow
fever expert engaged by marine
hospital authorities, arrived hare
on a special train shortly after 9
o'clock this morning and imme
dlately went to the St. Charles,
where he registered. He has not
yet made known his intentions as
to when he will proceed to Texas,
whero it is his intention to ex-
amine into the alleged fever said
to be prevailing at Galveston and
other points by a dispatch sent
from this city to Philadelphia
The doctor came from Vicksburg
and was very much fatigued.
The Southern Pacific road is
making arrangements for a spe
cial train to leave here on Wednes-
day. Dr. Carter of the marine
hospital service and President
Oliphant will be aboard. It it-
expected that Dr. Swearingen of
Texas will join the party. The
train will stop at various points
on the Southern Pacific and the
Texas and Pacific roads between
here and Shreveport and gathei
■ p the health officers in the differ-
ent parishes and towns for confer
ence to decide upon a united line
of action in the matter of quaran-
tines against infected points and
the handling of property disin
fectsd and vouched for merchan-
dise from New Orleans.
There is some anxiety in the
sugar district among planters as
to obtaining labor to work in the
fields and in the sugar houses
Most labor thus employed is from
New Orleans and rigidly enforced
quarantine regulations has made
SECOND ANNUAL
it well nigh impossible for plan-
ters to get the help they require.
Tcrre Bonne has set an example,
however that may be followed by
other parishes. It provides for
the detention of labor at quaran-
tine at the river for a limited pe-
riod. From detention camp the
labor will subsequently be permit-
ted to enter Terre Bonne.
No attempt was made Sunday
night to destroy the Beuregard
sohool, which is to be used as a
yellow fever hospital and the
aathorities expect to move a num-
ber of patients to the institution
today. The mayor will probably
have the building guarded at
night, though In spite of threats it
is not thought the bnilding will
again be attacke I.
Dr. Gaiteras said he had come
to New Orleans simply to await
orders.
The total number of new cases
of yellow fever up to t o'olock was
ten and deaths two.
PERPETUAL INJUNCTION
McNall Can Not Interfere
With the Mutual Life.
Topeka, Kas., Sept. 27.—Judge
Williams has granted a perpetual
injunction to prevent Superintend
ent of Insurance McNall from in-
terfering with the business of the
New York Mutual Life Insurance
company. The attorney general
was also enjoined from iuterfering
with tho company in any other
manner except by bringing pro
readings in quo warranto.
Tho suit was the result of trou-
ble over the famous Hillmon case.
The Mutual Life, one of the com-
panies which it is claimed is lia-
ble on the Hillmon claims, an1
McNall refused to grant it license
n the ground that the claim had
not been paid. Judge W illiams
<aid in his opinion that such ac-
rion was an "arbitrary assumption
of authority in a ministerial officer
that is startling." The attorney
for McNall gave notice that the
case will be appealed to the Uni-
ted States supreme court.

One can almost Dreauro iw tm?
air a rapid change of sentiment in
the 1 nsiness community of this
city from the old feeling of gloom
to that of sanguine cheerfulness.
The conviction that the long
p.ijht of depression is ended, and
that we are entering upon an era
f unprecedented prosperity its
becoming irresistible. It pos
sesses nearly every man who has
act been hopelessly wrecked by
the cruel hard times which we
have passed through, and even
many of these are buoyant with
the hope of a new start in life.
There is a profound difference of
opinion as to the causes ot the re-
vival and as to its duration as
well as to who, if' anybody, de
serves credit for it, but that it is
coming and is practically upon us
is the almost unanimous belief.—

Luetgert Trial Is
Unto a Circus.

PRETTY SERVANT GIRL
With Whom Luetgert Was
Intatuated, Was On the
Stand Yesterday.
Chicago, Sept. 27.—The begin
ning ot the sixth week of the
Luetgert trial today brought to
the courtroom a large and more
heterogeneous crowd than usual.
Policemen and court bailiffs were
on duty at the doors and had
much difficulty in handling the
crowd, admitting only those with
tickets.
Mary Siemmering, the servant
girl, whose cross examination was
in progress Saturday when court
adjourned, was called. Around
this witness, according to the
theory of the prosecution, the mo-
tive for the alleged murder of Mrs.
Louise Luetgert centers, as Luet
gert's infatuation for his prettj
servant girl is claimed by the
prosecution to hava been the in-
citing motive to this celebrated
crime.
Assistant States Attorney Mc-
Ewen asked questions and did not
keep her on the stand long. "Did
you not say before the grand jury
that Mrs. Luetgert was a good and
kind mother!" asked McEwen.
"I did," said the witness. "Now
you say she beat her children
and was crcss to them!"
•'When I went to the grand jury
room to testify Inspector Shaack
was there. He told me if I did not
say what I did he would punish
•.nr.'' said the witness.
Photographs which were identi-
fied by witnesses trom Kenosha,
Wis., were handed to the witness
and she identified them. The pic-
tures, which included Mrs. Luet-
gert and her two children, were
taken two years ago the witness
said. fwiarul «[naatUa«

Mary Siemmering was excused.
She left the witness stand with
a smile and took a seat within the
inclosuie and remained to listen
to other witnesses.

A Natural Magnet.
Professor Smythc 'was once lecturing
in a provincial town on natural philcs
opbj, and in the co-aree of his experi-
ments ho introduced most powerful
magnet, v. ith which he attracted a"
block of iron from a distance of two
feet.
"Can any cf yon conceive a greater
attractive power?" demanded the lec-
turer, with an air of triumph.
'I can," answered a voice from the
audience.
"Not a natural terrestrial object?"
"Yes, indeed."
The lecturer, somewhat puzzled,
challenged the man who had spoken to
name the article. Then up rose old
Johnny Sowerby. Said he:
'I will give you facts, professor, and
yon can judge for yourself. When I was
a young man, there was a little piece o'
natural magnet done up in a neat cot-
ton dress as was called Betsy Maria.
She could draw me 14 miles on Sunday
over plowed land, 110 matter what the
wind or weather. There wasn't no re-
sistin her. That magnet o' yourn is
pretty good, but k won't draw so far a>

Frank Lamar, a farmer from Fair-
land, I. T., who was here attend-
ing the fall festivities, was found
