From Mercury PEACH & SPRAGUE: | BUTLER, MISSOURI, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER WILD WITH FEAR. One Town Shuts Itself Off From ; T#e Goldens Give a Graceful Presen- | the Entire World. Railroad Tracks Torn Up and Other Precautions Taken. New Orleans, La., Sept. 21.—It is reported that a portion of the rail- road track between Harrison and Vicksburg has been torn up by frightened people in order to force trains to stop. There is good ground for believing the reporttrue. There is scarcely any fear that any refu- gees will be able to reach Louisiana or New Orleans by river, for Jackson has been isolated and people from there have no means of reaching the Mississippi river. Vicksburg and Natchez have both quarantined most strictly and railroads connect- ing them with Jackson have been obliged to go out of business for the present. There is evidently a reign of terror in and about Jackson, and a gentleman on his way from Birm- ingham to Vicksburg, who was forced to come to New Orleans from Me- ridian, said this morning that he never saw people so frightened as the Mississippians, who are panic stricken with fear that the scourge may become general in their state. Special trains as required will be sent to Jackson by the Illinois Cen- tral to carry north all who desire to go. STRICT QUARANTINE IN TENNESSEE. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 21.— Chattanooga has instituted a strict quarantine against all infected points. No one is permitted to enter the city without giving a satisfactory account of himself. Quarantine of- ficers board every train and fifty-one are thus employed. The city council has adopted ordinances inflicting a fine of $500 on any one entering the city from any infected district, and a large reward is offered for the ap- prehension and conviction of such offender and for the conviction of anyone harboring such refugee. The Memphis and Charleston railroad trains stopping at Decatur or within twenty miles on either side are for- bidden entrance. Meridian, Miss., was quarantined against to-night, owing to the report that cases of yellow fever had occurred there. Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 21.—The county health board to-day held a meeting and decided to rigidly en- force quarantine. Any refugees coming from the infected districts of the south within the borders of Dayidson county will be arrested, fined and imprisoned, as the law directs, and detained for a period of ten days. Persons who harbor such refugees or fail to report to the health board their presence, when known, will be subject to arrest, fine and imprisonment to the full extent of the law. The law permits the arrest and a fine of $50 in the case of any person known to stop in Nash- ville from the infected district. West Point, Miss., Sept. 21—West tricts, but against the world. Armed police are scouring the city. Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 21.—In consequence of reliable information that there is a case of sickness, sup- posed to be fever, in Greenville, the Montgomery board recommended ville, which was so ordered. Mayor Reese telegraphed to-night to Sur- Morgan as follows: “Recent develop- epidemic at Decatur—another proof | of the inefficiency of the quarantine i system existing im the different cities j south.

' | | tation of the “Little Duchess” | The Goldeus gave a lively presen- tation of their excellent comedy, “The | Little Duchess,” last evening at the | Perkins Grand. This makes the }second appea ance of this famous | troupe upon the stuge here, and last night's performance was fully up to {the hig »o.th that the play of the eve previous had led all to ust Miss Kitty De Lorme as the “Little Duchess” was frequently applauded for her grace- ful movements and the perfect skill she exhibited as an artist, while Mr. Lloyd Neal in the character of lu- dicrous “Old Peter” indulged the mirthful procliyities ef the large and elegant audience present. Harry Robinson, “James Carter,” the law- yer, fairly kept the auditors in laugb. ter by his “unscrupulous” acts,which were so clearly indicative of his motives in the case. On the whole the comedy was a clear and lucid cast of the triumph of genuine love over mockery and intrigue in matri- monial make-ups. The company is highly deserving of a large patron- age.—Springfield Daily. Grand Rally. Spruce, Mo., Sept. 22, 1888. One of the most pleasurable and enthusiastic rallies of the season oc- ourred in Deepwater township on last Thursday evening. Pursuant to a previous call, the Cleveland and Thurman club, numbering about 85 members, met at Spruce for the purpose of perfecting arrangements to participate in the grand rally at Butler on the 27th inst. On arriving there an invitation was found await- ing them from our next representa- tive, Hon. J. B. Newberry, to come in a body tu his place of residence, as he was in need of assistance in tapping a keg of cider. Business was at once postponed, one of Bates county's finest string bands called together, when the Capt. called “To horse!” and with the band at their head, drew rein in an incredible short time in front of Mr. Newberry’s commodious residence. The host immediately made a smiling appearance, when the club gave three hearty cheers for the Hon. J. B. Newberry. The guests were made welcome, a time spent in social converse, when music was proposed. The band, consisting of Prof. Drake of Johnstown, Messrs. Murphy, Slay- back and Son of Spruce, with piano accompaniment by the host’s charm- ing daughters, was fine enough to charm the most fastidious ear. Its appreciation was demonstrated by the delight depicted on every coun- tenance during the rendering of their own selections, and the imme- diate demand for some favorite piece of some one present if there was the least sign of cessation. The bring- jing in of cider and apples finally hushed the music, and although the former was neither hard nor spiked, it was of an excellent quality, and disappeared rapidly. But the rally {reached its climax when the doors | were thrown open to two spacious | dining rooms and the guests invited } out to partake of oysters, served in elegant style, roast beef. cheese, ; to feal himself a committee of one to geon General Hamilton and Senator | dispose of oysters, and bent all his | Finally | jments show yellow fever to bejall, even the veterans, had to suc- lenergies in that direction. \a last effort to empty his well-filled | plate, was disabled and bad to be} | quarantine service be put in force at | carried from the field by his com- | On reviving a little, he ac- |knowledged himself slightly dis- i “gtill in the ring.” More | reported yellow fever there, though | music and the sampling of the host's \ jchoicest Havanas followed.
