Waco, July 27. Special correspondence New Tork Herald: A trail of blood lies in the wake of Brann's Iconoclast, and the end is not yet. For the benefit of those who have never heard of Brann's Iconoclast, I will say that It is probably the most remarkable publication in America. Although published in this out of the way corner of the country, and appearing only once a mokith, it is known from Maine to California among a limited class of readers who admire vituperative Journalism. But Brann is no more.

Three months ago his turbulent career was cut short by an Injection of hot lead, but not before he had in turn killed the man who had laid him low, both murders caused by the vituperative personalities indulged in by this remarkable publication. The Iconoclast continued to be published under the editorial direction of Judge G. B. Gerald, who had been one of Brann's stanchest friends and admirers. Gerald had previously proven his devotion to the Iconoclast's cause by killing two brothers named Harris, news Omaha, July 27.

The annual meeting of the United States League ot Local Building and Loan associations opened here today- with a good attendance. Lake W. Sandborn, of Galesburg, 111., president, delivered the annual address. President Sanborn Bald in his annual address: "The objects of this league are many. We strive to unite the leagues of all the states into one grand body, and through this meana to correct many evils awd abuses; to amend and to stop bad legislation by educating the people that the building and loan business Is in its very inception local in its oroadest meaning, and should be fostered.

"The league seeks to organize state leagues in the states now unorganized, thus being able to amend bad laws and to Induce law-makers to enact Just and equitable statutes which shall protect and aid their stockholders.

Dr. Lesser and wife, "Sister Bettina," New York workers of the Red Cross, were both taken to the yellow fever camp yesterday from one of these lovely, verdure-bedecked pest houses.

Another Red Cross nurse shared the same fate. After the fever was discovered every effort was made to check it and stamp it out, but th3 camp had already been pitted with it. Cases were taken out of the Burgical wards of the hospital tents and out of the officers' tents.

"The aggregate assets of the local building and loan associations of the several states now amount, to $601,130,037 which is an increase of $2,741,342 over the amount shown last year. Pennsylvania, on official figures, increased $4,706,771 during the year, although according to the estimated figures given in my last annual report the, increase Is $6,714,871. Ohio increased $2,860,000, Massachusetts $1,690,000, and Connecticut $530,000.

Division Hospital Camp, Juragua, July 15. Correspondence of the Associated Press. "There are 200 yellow fever cases here and at the front today. There will be 2,000 If we are here two weeks longer." This was the prediction tnad this afternoon by Dr. Senn, government yellow fever expert, who, with Dr.

Gulteras, is looking after the health of the army in that particular line. A bolt of fever hna fallen out of an epparently clear sky. Three cases were discovered four days ago. There were twenty-six the next night Now there re 200. Senn's estimate of 1,000 in two weeks seems to be conservative in the face of these figures.

Guiteraa said today: "I cannot say that the fever is of a mild type, but there has been only one death so far, although there have been two cases of suppression and two of blac vomit, symptoms supposed to mark only the laHt stages of the desperate case. All four of these, however, seem to be doing well. The usual course in the epidemic is a mild beginning with a low death rate, followed by morn violent cases, more of them and higher mortality; then a gradual decline, both in the number of cases and their violence. I should say that in this campaign we will have apparently a lower death rate than usual, but it will be because we will get nearer to the true figures than in an epidemic In 0 large city." The marines were landed at Guanta-liHino bay a month before the army reached Cuba. The first official act of the landing party was to burn every but on the beach and knock in the head of every cask of Spanish wine.

After the baptism of fire the camp was pitched and rigidly policed. The marine camp was not so large as that of the army. Its men had not penetrated so far inland, but they have been excised almost as much to hardship as the army, and there has not been a case of yellow fever In the camp. Rigid quarantine Is now maintained against Juragua, and the medical officers of Camp McCalla say that with the help of Cod and snnitary precautions they Will have no fever.

The story that Lieutenant Hobson Is betrothed to Miss Leila Cook of Oswego, Is positively denied by her mother, Who Is now at Vlnita, I. T. Misa Cook Is the daughter of the late H. C. Cook, a banker at Oswego, Kan.

In 1897 Miss Cook's brother, Allen M. Cook, an officer on the New York, was married to Kmma Blow Freeman at Norfolk. It was a naval wedding and Lieutenant Hobson was best man. Miss Leila was at the wedding and met Hobson. After Miss Cook returned to Oswego, her father moved to Vlnita, I.

where he recently died, and was burled Iconoclast. But in this they were mistaken. The paper was continued, with his widow's name as publisher and the name of Judge Gerald as editor. Gerald continued the policy of Brann, whose blistering style he imitated; but his writings lack the unique diction which characterized those of his master. On the front page of this month's number appeared the announcement: TO THE PUBLIC.

Circumstances unnecessary to mention at the time culled me to take editorial charge of the Iconoclast; circumstances unnecessary to mention: now cause me to announce that with this Issue closes all my connection with the Iconoclast, editorial and otherwise.

G. B. Gerald.

With his last editorial gasps Gerald apparently determined to make himself remembered. In reviewing the Brann trouble he denounces the young men who assaulted "the apostle," and says: The names of the four curs that did this act are Majah Charles, Carroll, of the Baylor Cadets; George M. Scarborough, Curl Lovelace und T. 11. Hamilton.

Does any one believe that the second and more brutal mobbing of Mr. Brann, led by J. B. Scarborough, one of the trustees of the university, aided by his son George and a fellow named Hamilton, would have occurred had It not been for the action of the meeting at the Baptist church, which denounced.

After alluding to successful efforts to have building and loan associations exempted from the war tax bill, he said that hundreds of thousands of dolars were thus saved to the association which would otherwise have had to have been paid by the laboring men, who are the largest owners of the stock and the only borrowers of the funds. "If such double taxation can be avoided In our national congress why should the legislatures of some of our states continue to levy an unjust tax upon their associations?" The report of Secretary Herman F.

Springfield, July 27. A provost guard, which was sent out from Camp Taner late last night, finished up its work at an early hour this morning by marching sixty-one men to the guardhouse. The prisoners were captured In the city, where they had gone without leave. Most of the prisoners were from the Eighth regiment, in which a spirit of mischief and unrest has been making Itself manifest for several days. Fully double the number of men arrested had broken from the restraints of camp life and had come down town, and the reason more prisoners were not taken was that the guard was insufficient to do the work.

Almost every member of the guard had a prisoner as It was. The hot weather which has prevailed for the past two days is probably responsible for the recent breeches of discipline. Life at the camp Is most irksome with the thermometer at 96 degrees in the shade, and it makes the men nervous and dissatisfied. They understand that they will have to pay for leaving camp by long hours of disagreeable service in the guardhouse, but, with their blood heated and their nerves throbbing they pre almost in condition to run amuck and they cannot resist the temptation to leave camp. The reason that so few men of the Ninth are taken beyond the lines is that they are a quiet, steady-going lot, who find little in the allurements of the city to attract them and who are well satisfied at the camp, so long as they can get their rations regularly and have all the tobacco they want Lieutenant flurphy la Sale.
