News Paper Clipping Truthful James Scores Around 13 October (1904?)

This is a paper clipping that was in an envelope with some of Orpha's saved letters.  I don't know what paper it is from.   Click here to see the full collection of items Orpha saved.
The following text is the text in a political cartoon.
TRUTHFUL JAMES SCORES
[Man on left]
HELLO, TRUE,
GLAD TO SEE YOU-
HAVE A CIGAR-
SAY, I'M RUNNING
FOR COUNCIL-
[Truthfu James]
YOU HAVEN'T
SPOKEN TO ME FOR
TWO YEARS, AND YOU LIE
WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE GLAD
TO SEE ME!  I WOULDN'T SMOKE ONE OF YOUR CIGARS IF I WAS PAID FOR IT, AND I WOULDN'T
VOTE FOR YOU UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES - YOU'RE
CROOKED!!
 The following text is from the right column of the clipping above.
NAMED BABY AFTER
YELLOW FEVER
MOSQUITO
NEW ORLEANS, Oct, 13.-
In order to commemorate the
yellow fever epidemic, during
which their baby was born, a
family named Wilson, living
in the extreme upper part of
the city, have had their child
Christened Stegomyia Wilson.

JACK FROST SHOWS
IN FEVERED SOUTH
Pittsburg, Oct 13.- The first
snow of the season is reported from
the western part of the state.  At

ing frosts are reported in the mid-
dle south and the frost line extends
to the northern portions of the gulf

frost appeared here this morning,
the first visible frost of the season.

New Orleans, Oct, 13.- A low
thermometer, frost in the Northern
and central portions of the state,
and colder weather all over the in-

few days, or weeks at most.  It is
stated that the cold weather will ex-
tinguish the fever in both Missis-
sippi and Louisiana inside of 15
days.
