O TS S 2 THE DAILY BEE--OMAHA, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 2, 1888. Mischievous Malaria. *“To say that malaria is mischic.oons is to put it very mildly, Itis2{lthat and more, It is cunning, d-sceitful, treacherous, sly, and underhanded. It does its work in the dar'k, and in such a sly way that much of the mis- chief is done before it is discovered. Tt saps the foundations of a hcnhhr system. It robsthe blcod of its vital- ity, demoralizes the l'ver, confounds the stomach, and makes the victim wish he were in his grave. Iti tosee peoplesit do@nin theirm content to be the victims of mischie ous malaria, and thinking that noth- ing can be done forthem. The power of BrowN's IRON BITTERS over the snischiefs of malaria has been so am- ply proved that there is no reason why anybody who can procure a bottle of this Prince of Tonics shall suffer.

Champioe Sulivan [ndas rously Kneek- ing People Out, A New Orop of Fistic Gladiators 8pringing Up—Exploits of the Turf Kings-Movements of the Billiardists, New York Journal, Oct, 28 Althongh there was nothing of real in- terest in pugilistic circles during the week, there are events on the tapis which keep the patrons of the manly art on the tiptoe of expectancy. Mr. Arthur qers's protege, William Sheriff, the /.as sian, who was imported for the purpose of knocking Mr. John L, Sullivan into a cocked hat, but whe, so far has not had the pleasure of extending courtesies with that gentleman, appears to be in great de mand, and it will be his own fault if he does not treat the members of the *‘fancy” to an exhibition of his skill. The meet- ing with Mr, Charles Mitchell on Long Island and his failure to do the plucky little Englishman (whose wrist, by the way, it is claimed, is per- manently injured) has lowered him con siderably in the opinion of fighting men. Among other challenges which have been thrown down to him is one from Mr. Charley Johnston, the well-known Brook- lyn sport, who has posted $250 with Rich- ard K. Fox, and offers to back Mr. Joe Prondergrast's, the Brooklyn giant, to fight Mr, Sheriff, for from §1,000 to $2,- 500 a side, Prendergrast’s friends be- lieve he can whip any man in America, either with hard gloves or bare knucklos. On the other hand the Prussian is out with a challenge to any man in America to match with gloves for £1,000 a side, the men to remain in ring until one or the other is defeated. With reference to the many rumors in circulation about Mr. John L. Sullivan having taken to the cup again, the cham- pion, writing to a friend, says: ““The report that I have been drinking was .u.mx\ by some cowardly enemy of mine in Pottsville, Penn., who fain would injure me with his lying imagination. No, my friend, 1 am not drinking, nor do I intend to.” When the Sullivan Combination reach- ed McKeysport a fow evenings ngo, a young follow tried to win the purse which Sullivan has hung up at every exhibition for anyone to win who stands before him four three-minute rounds. In half a minute the youthful aspiraut was laid senscless, Pete McCoy, who is with the combination, writes that after the tour ends, ho will fight anybody for $1,000,he to weigh 146 and his opponent to weigh 160 pounds, Mr, McCoy says he prefers abrush with the Prussian, Mr. James McHugh, a well-known Chicago boxer, recently arrived in this city, says he is preparing to sparany 140- pound boxer in New York city for one hour, Marquis of Queensberry rules, for apurse or a cortain percentage of the gate receipts, points and endurance to decide the contest. Mr. Michael Dono- van, the scientific middle-weigh% boxer and Mentor to the New York Athletic club in Twenty-third street, challenges any man in the country of his weightand size to stand hefore x?\lim four rounas, Marquis of Queensberry rules,or the bare knuckles if necessary. The prowess of Jay-Eye-See is still a thome among lovers of the turf, For some dflzx‘ past, rumor had it that his owner, Mr, Case, had eold him for §60,- 000. Theve is no truth in this state- ment, as Mr. Case writes that nothing under £100,000 would tempt him to part with the great trotter. Following on the heels of Jay-Eye-See comes the state- ment that M. James Keenan, of Boston, has found himself the possessorof a horse capable of trotting in 2:11 with a runnin; mate. This wonder's name is Frank,an Mr. Keenan avors that he is now ready to match him against either Maud S. or Jay-Eye-See for $1,000 or $2,5600, or he will hitch a runner with Frank and trot them double. Mr. Pierro Lorillard has agreed, it is said, to pay £5,000 for Dwyer Brother's Miss \Vom{(nrd after her racing career is finished. The Dwyers will have a great trio of cup-horses next year in Georgo Kinney, Barnes and Miss Woodford. 1t is whispered among bookmakers that Walton, the Plunger, is saving Giroflefor ono or more races in November on which he will be able to get very long odds. Walton is being watched very closely. The announcement that “Commodore Kittson had purchased Johnson, the pacer, 18 now stated to have beon proma- ture. The Commodore says he don't mind such a trifle as $25,000 cash down, the figure at which the Western wonder is held, but before paying even that sum he would like to sce him beat Little Brown Jug's record for three successive heats in harness, The trial will probably be mado at Chicago somo day this week. Mr. Holmes has been very unlucky at the Horse Show with Mr. Bennett's imported “jumper.”; The horse is palp- ably in want of a fow lessons, and it must have been particularly mortifying to his rider, who naturally thought that with the reputation he had, the big *‘Countorfeit” ought to fly over a “‘wall” three feet six inches in height. Alderman - Dhilip Casey, champion hand-ball player of Awerica, was de- foated a fow days ago by young Mr. De Navaro in a match game of %mnd-bull in Swoeney's Court, in Kast Thirty- fifth st. Mr. De Navaro used the Spanish k, President of the Louisville Jockey Club, has called a meeting of the Southern and Western Association, to be held at the Jockey Club ofticos November 21, for the purposo of considering and adopting a scale of woights and rules, and for the promotion of bruedinris and turf interests in general The general impression is thatsuch a meet- ing will cement together all clubs and result in the general good. Mr. Duryen and Charles Rowell, the plucky little English pedestrian, arg pas- sengers on board the steamship Alaska, and will in all probability arrive to,day. 1t is said that Rowell's mission here is to inaugurate another x-days watch, go-as-you-please.

A Graphic Pictare of Its Ravages-- Mazallan Depopulated, Experiences and Observations ot a Californian in a Fever Stricken Port, San Franciseo Chronicle. The story told by Senor A ravages of the yellow fove sillo, furnished somethi of a revelation of the extent and virulence of the plague in the coast towns of Mex- was made last drade of the in Hermo. ico. A similar statement, night to a Chronicle reporter by J. A. Robertson, a former resident of this city, the subject being his experiences in Mazatlan. Retaining as nearly as possi- ble the expressions of the narrator, Rob- ertson's story runs as follows “On the 15th of August a party of six of us, including two or three capitalists from Dixon, Solano county, went dowr to Mazatlan on the San Juan for the pur- yose of buying a_sugar plantation, We Lml heard that the yellow fever had visit- ed that port, but had no_idea that we should find the towna death-hc Such was the case, however, and the city ac- tually stunk with the plague. Had the steamer not left we would have immedi. ately fled the place, but having been left there, we decided that the best thing to do was to make for theinterior as quickly as we could. We made our preparations with all the expedition possible and thir- ty-six hours after our arrival were head- ing for the ranch. STRICKEN WITH FEVER, “We had not passed through the con- tagion quickly enough, though, and when but a few miles out on the road every one of us was stricken with the fever. There was no possibility of procuring medicine or attendance where we were, %0 we turned back to Maz.tlan, pest-rid- den as it We procuued the best quarters that we could, but the best was bad enough. In the same room with me were two others, one of them being A. W. Rogers, an uncle of Arthur Rogers, of 240 Montgomery street, San Francis- co. When the doctor cAlled he said that Rogers was dying and that I had about three hours to live. *Well, doctor,’ said 1, on hearing this, ‘if that is the ca shall not die with any of your medicine in my stomach.” 1 then sent out for six ounces of paregoric, made a hot tea of it, and then went in for ice water, and soon was in a tremendous perspiration. Next I treated yself to plenty of cream of tartar, and t{migh the black vomit came on, I was out of danger on the eighth day. The doctor's prediction about Rogers was verified, however, and he died. I need scarcely tell you that dur- ing those cight days my sufferings were intense. THE menced with an intolerable pain at the base of the skull, which soon spread all over the body. This lasted for two days, during which the yellow tinge showed it- self, discoloring the eyeballs, creeping under the nails and giving methe appear- ance of having been painted with a decoc- tion of safiron. Then the spleen began to swell until it was a palpable protuber- ance. On the third day severe chills came on, which I broke by the treat- ment which 1 have described. As soon as the perspiration became profuse the hormible s reness went off, but in its place came a distressing form of constipa- tion, Assoon us Ihad conquered this the black vomit came, in my case con- sisting mostly of putrid blood. tbw;;er had passed my skin began to co®ofl, the-denudations on the thighs being =0 deep as to leave largosores. The peeling process went on until every inch of skin was new and I was as white as a baby, Talking of black vomit, I know there is a general impression that this is a sure sign of dissolution. This is not so, as my case proves. Even in the more aggravated cases it is not fatal, for thers was one sick neighbor, called Steiner, who in my presence vomited a cuspidor full of stuff thas looked like coflee grounds and who yet recovered. As soon as I was able o be around I looked up my compan- ions and found that they had all pulled through except A. Mussleman of Dixon, who soon went under. A VERITABLE DEATH-HOLE, *‘Being a prisoner at Mazatlan and hav- ing served my apprenticeship to Yellow Jack, I made the most of the opportunity by Iooking around and gathering some idea of the work of the plague. They who tell you that Mazatlan was lightly visited tell you what is false, for the town was more than decimated. A day or two before I left I wandered uy. to the ceme- tory and learned from the gatekeeper that during the two months of the visita- tion he had passed in from 3300 to 5000 dead, He was not exactly sure which, as some days they came so thick that he was not able to keep the tally, Now setting the population of Mazatlan at l.’n,Onguls before the plague broke out, it would be at all an extravagant estimato to say that fully one-third of the inhabitants died from the fover. The only wonder is that the whole When the discase first made its appearance the doctors began hagaling over what it really was, Some called it tonto, or heavy fover, others said it was malarial, and while they were dssagreeing, death after death soon decided what it was, Then came the question of treatment and more precious time was wasted in experi- menting. The locality, temperature and habits of the people all made Mazatlan a veritable forcing-house for tho plague. Lying low by the water's edge, in tho hottest moist months of the year and tak- ing root in filthy struets guiltless of any- like cleanliness, it is no wonder that Jack paid his visits right and left, night and day and _swept everything before him, Tho local papers announced that for the first week in September there were 480 deaths that had been buried in coftins, ‘but,’ it added. ‘as the discaso is most prevalent among the poor wretches who ive, die, and are buried in the dark, it is safe to assume that the rell ran up to 000 for the week." When once the fever had headway it was not among the poor- eat classes that it worked its way. —— For painful ailments, St. Jacobs Oil ought to be kept in every house, e e—— Points for the Unmarried, Brother Garduer, Detroit Free Press, I understand,” began the President, us the meeting was opened in due form, **dat quite a number of ie members of dis club am gwine to be mar'ied doorin’ de summer, Dat's all right, an’ I wish "em much joy, an' shall be glad to witness de obsequies of each an’ ebbery one.

In the Yokohoma Mail of September 22, 1883, is a tabulated ofticial exhibit of the main features of the census of that country, taken in 1882, hut only now made public, This is the third census or Japan taken since 18 The returfis of total population by each is as follows: Years. AR 1878 1882.... ¥ 00,118 The increase has been a fraction over 13 per cent in the nine ye from 1873 to 1882. The returns of 1873 gave 672,- 499 more males than females, or some- thing over 4 per cent in favor of the males. The census of 1882 gives but 447,788, or about 2.7 per cent more males than females, The inference is that prior to 1873 the rearing of female childrsn was not as much encouraged ns that of male children, but that this Ori- s riving way to the Western which Japan has adopted. The difference betwcen the present popu- lation of Japan and that of the United Kingdom of Great Britain is a trifle in favor of the former. The area of the United Kingdom, including England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the Chan- nel islands and isles of Man and. Wight, is 77,888,820 acres. The area of Japan is 102,703,360 acres, or very nearly a third more than the United Kingdom. It used to be supposed that Japan was the most densely peopled land in the world. Thesé ofticial figures supply the refu tion of that theory. Theaverage density in the United Kingdom is about =00 to the square mile; in Japan, about 228. It was the popular belief twenty or thirty Popul Japan, was the most populous city m the world, This, also, is expleded by these official returns, The population of Tokio was as follows in the Years named: Population 3 v 011 There are_thirteen other cities or pro- fectures in Japan containing each more people than Tokio. These are as fol- Tows: Nagano. . Ishikawa Ok Kagoshima, Kumamoto. ey g These are not presumably all urban populations, Each prefecture has a de- pendent rural district; but so also lokio. Hiogo and Osaka are now well known to be larger citics than the capi- tal. The whole number of prefectures or census districts is forty-two, of which twelve have each above a million inhabi- | tants and only four each less than half a million. If every census district but two —Niigata and Yamanashi—the ma number the females; in some districts as much as G, 7 aand 8 per cent.

Sweet pota- toes, the common potato and maize also gure, but under denominations either of weight or measure which are given in Japanese, the equivalents of which we are unable to present in English. Con- trasted wite some of the provinces of China the population of Japan is not at all dense. Tho single Chinese province of Kiangsu with not much more than one- fourth the area of Japan, contained at the last “‘guess’ —for it cannot be called a census—made in 18872, the enormous number of 57,843,501 inhabitants, or over 2,000,000 more than all of Japan. Nevertheless, that same_year, though a | total population for all China was given 2,447,183, the average to the suare | mile was thirty-four less than the average in the United Kingdom of Great Britain in 1881, at the last British census. Some of the Chinese provinces are thinly peo- pled.
