A CLEAR CASE.

What DR.. Souchon Says of the Sick
ness in the Stout Family.
The case Of Miss Creel, who died at Missis-
sippi City Of what has been pronounced ma
larial fever by several experienced physicians
Of this city, has been the subject OF much
comment, here and elsewhere She had been,
for the last seven months, employed as q
nurse to take charge Of the children in the
family of Mr.. Stout, residing at No. 1874 Third
street, between Magazine and Constance It
having been stated that there had been sick
ness In that house previous to the departure
of Miss Creel for Mississippi City, one Of our
reporters waited upon Dr.. e. Souchon, whose
the Stout family.
DR.. SOuchon informed our representative
that he had been called to attend to several OF
the children who had been taken down with
the fever. All OF the patients recovered The
father, Mr. Stout, was also sick for over q
week, and is well now. The doctor said that
from it's inception he immediately pronounced
the sickness to be remittent fever; not even
bilious remittent fever.
"Ghildren," said DR. Souchon, .are By nat
ure very imprudent; when not closely watched
they will play In water after rain, or they
will dabble IN mud, and then, all wet, expose
themselves to the air. IN that way they catch
a cold, or, what Is more probable at this sea-
son OF the year, contract fever. As have
not heard OF any other case of sickness either
in the houses next to, or In the immediate
neiRhborhood Of the Stout family, am still
further convinced as to the nature Of the
cases A. to Mr.. Stout's case. I have this to
say: He is pilot, and consequently exposed

THE HEALING LAKE.-Much has
been said about the mineral lake in
Stephens County, usually known
as the Medicine Lake, and is one Of
the Four Lakes which christened that
section as Four Lake county. To
battle in it is like getting champooed.
The water raises lather like the finest
toilet soap. Scabby sheep are driven
thither and are cured by frequent
dips in the lake. Men afflicted with
rheumatism and even palsy try the
water and go away healed. A Mr..
Sullivan lives at the lake. When he
came there, he was almost blind, and
by the frequent use of this water he
has regalned his sight and can see as
good as ever. The Four Lake coun-
try is therefore a poor country for
doctors. One young physician To-
Gated there some time ago, but find
ing no practice, he went to herding
sheep. Few appreciated the healing
power of this wonderful medicine
lake, but the time will come when
it will be Mecca for the sick and
ailing.-WaHa Walla Wacthman.

The entire table is cumbersome; but
its 81 gnifcance is condensed into the

amount of public Indebtedness per
capita was, in 1856, 1865. and 1879,
respectively, SO cents, s79.25, s4O.42.
AT the same three periods, the amount

Grants reception in Toxic is I'M
precedented in japanese history. In
addition to the government demon
STATIONS, citizens have given lavish
entertainments on sumptuous scale.
Every day and night there are fresh
novelties for his diversion. In the
audience of the Emperor, July 4th,
his majesty alluded, happily, to the
coincidence of that date. The sole
obstacle to the harmony was caused
by the demeanor of English officials
who persistently keep aloof from
Grant and decline to give salutes Of
recognition. 1t is not clearly under
stood whether this is in consequence
of orders from home or otherwise.
Much comment is made thereupon
and it is distinctly known that Grant
is peculiarly sensitive to Sights.
Grant visits the shrines of Nikko and
afterwards sailsto Yeddo and starts for
America in the last week of August.

soon be independent of San Fran
