Death.
Washington, Dec. 27-The death of
Senator Logan from rheumatism has
caused people to direct attention to the
illness OF President Cleveland, who suf-
fers from the same trouble. Mr. Cleye-
land, while probably NOT dangerously ill,

ed TO his room after beng about the
house Tor . short time subsequent to an
attack which kept him on his back for
moro than o week. The PRESIDENT q con.
dItion on Saturday was not such as TO
admit OF his visiting Oak View, where
the family was to take Christmas dinner
with Mrs. Folsom. The president re-
manned in his room all day, suffering in
'tensely, the pains being located princi-
paity In one knee, and Colonel and Mrs.
Lamont were substituted for him at the
home Of Mrs. Oieveland's mother, Itia
not generally believed that there ls apy
danger of fatal termination of the
presidents indisposition, bot inasmuch
as he suffers much the same dfsease az
did Senator Logan. he is the subject OF
q good deal OF concern to-day.
There has been a great deal of quiet
talk all day, and is progressing to- night
concerning the condition OF President
Oleyelands health. a gentleman WIN
spent some time at the white houss this
afternoon in consultation with Colonel
Lamont aboat important public busi-
ness, says; The president asks every
member OF the house who comes near
his bed 10 regard to the death of Senator
Logan and eYinces not only grief but
the most intense interest. It is very
evident" says this gentleman, sdhat Mr..
Cleveland ID much concerned about the
nature of his illness, and is drawing
comparison III his own mind between
the stages of rheumatism in himself
and that which resulted in the death of
the senator. It is evident to him from
the questions he has been asked that the
he may take the same course. observe
that all four local papers to-day have
uniform statements as to the health OF
the president, and the point is made
strong that the rheumatism is confined
to one leg. do not regard the
statements as frank and trust
worthy. A person with simply rheumatic
pains in ono limb does not recline con.
stantfy in bed. Besides am informed

Judge McCoh oell, of the northeastern
district OF Dallota, is credited with a
decir ion OF great Importance to the. pub
lie. He recently set aside number OF
mortgage foreclosure sales because
publication OF notices of sale was not
made in newspapers of general circula-
ton. but rather in alleged newspapers
established for the purpose of catching
legal advertising. 1t is rule in Iowa
that newspaper must have an estab-
lished circulation and standing before
1t can be legally made the medium OF
this class of advertising. Through
Judge McConnelPs decision this rule is
to be applied to Dakota. It will be
well for litigants to pay attention to
this point and save future trouble by
placing their legal notices where there
can be no question regarding the clrcula-
ton and standing of the advertising
medium. Otherwise q defeated party
can reopen case and the proceedings
must be gone over anew. The safe
course is to stake no chances.

concern has become sufficiently marked
and known as TO be topic for Comment
at the white house. When it became
known this morning that Mrs Cleveland
had written note to Mrs Logan ex

desl Of inquiry at the residence OF the
latter for the note. The impression by
some means gained currency that
refarence was made to the Illness OF the
president and it was believed that some
indication "f his true condition could be
obtained in the note AMI aa il was not

unnecessarily aroused.

tbs g note worGuy fact that General
Logan's last address was made to post
of the Grand Army of the Rspublic, an
organization which possessed large
share of his interest and affection. The
address WAS delivered at Youngstown.
Ohio, on the 18th OF November last, and
In 1t General Logan said:
IL believe in pensioning every soldier
living that went into the service either
for loug or short term, who was
wounded in service or contracted disease,
or has since, through no fault of his own,
become disabled. believe in pension
ing every soldier that has arrived at the
age of sixty-two. Pass that klnd Of a
