continued and nbandoncd by the city

the city, the Mayor and members ot the
Boards from any and all claims for dam
ages for destroying the track on Patton

taken by Mr. Cummings to the meeting
of the Boards.
Mr. Maddux told The Citizk.n today

Nearly i.ooo New Cases There
Last Week and Over moo on pat
urday-All the Hospitals Have
Patients Down With This Fever
St. Lovis, Nov. 28. There were nearly
1,000 new cases of typhoid fever last
week. The asylum for the blind is be
coming a veritable hot house for typhoid
fever patients. Over twenty students
are down with the fever and the malady
is spreading. A pathetic feature is the
fact that most of the students are from
outside the city and generally belong to
families in poor circumstances, who are
not able to respond if summoned to the
bedside of the sick ones.
L'very hospital in the city contains ty
phoid patients, one ol the Catholic in
stitutions having as many as thirty-five.
There are sixty-hve at the city hospital.
Only three of the coses at the asylum
lor the blind have proved fatal. There
is no official record ot the number of
deaths in the citv as yet. s there were
215 new ensea Saturilnvmst is thought
fully 450 new cases will be recorded for
the forty-eight hours beginning Satur
day. A committee was appointed at a
meeting of the Board of Health to go to

ular at 5 points advance, but closed un
changed to 1 point below Saturday and
caused an early decline here. Later a
rally was made on buying orders, while
the weakness is due to realizing, fort
receipts estimated today at 52,000
bales against 70,710 bales last year,
and, for the week, 255,000, and in the
interior 80,000 bales.

A New Adjutant tieneral Wanted
For Good Reasons.
KnoxviI.i.e, Nov. 28. There is some
stir in military circles as to who will be
the next Adjutant General of the State
militia. Many names are mentioned for
the place, including Col. S. D. Kyle, Col.
Berry Bovles and Col. Phil. P. Shepherd.

at Coal Creek, it is said, will accept ifit
is otfrred to him. Governor-elect Turncy

man and that politics will not enter into

national guard needs a thorough reor
ganization and the new Adjutunt Gen
eral would have to do it.
