Hardly any one who has large mum.
Der of acquaintance or who reads the
ordinary notices in the public prints, can
fail to notice how fatal disease pneu
monia is. 1t seems as though one-half OF
the deaths are caused by this disease
Especially is this so in winter. Pneu
monia usually begins with cold to
which scarcely anybody attaches any
Importance, and the cold is neglected
until it results in an alarming disease
One person is as subject to its ravages a:
another; rugged constitution, vIgorou:
health and a general observance of the
hygenic laws have little weight. Pneu
monia Stays the giant as quickly as the
pigmy; the athlete falls as quickly al

The Democracy of Missouri have gone
entirely back on the Greenback idea and
snubs the Greenback party. Some time
since few leading men of that party as
sembled at the capital and entered into
conference with their fellow Greenback'
ers. A clearly defined platform on the
financial question, which was unani'
mously adopted in their caucus, was put
into the form of a concurrent resolution
to instruct Senators and Representatives
in Congress how to vote upon national
finances. 1t was referred to the commit.
tee on federal relations and persistent
attempt made to smother it. The Com,
mittee finally submitted report, which
is in every respect autagonistic to the
