American political history has few
parallels to the swift growth of General
Harrison in popular estimation. When he
was nominated, only his neighbors, who
had touched hands with him and knew his
qualities, rejoiced with complete assur-
ance. 1t was their fire that warmed the
perfunctory acclamations of the multitude
into genuine enthusiasm. 1t was their
clearer vision that foresaw the require
ments of this great contest and discernec
in General Harrison all the qualities de
neutrality-suspicious. of mind, strength OF
body, purity of character, fidelity to prin
ciples, consistency Of record, military re
nown, civic honor and religious instinct.

ALIVE WITH BULLET IN HIS BRAIN
DUBUQUE, la, Oct 25.-Four or five
months ago George Lucas, young man
of this city, shot himself in the head with
a revolver The ball entered the frontal
lobe of the brain, just above the centre of
his forehead. Contrary to all expectations,
he recovered after several weeks prostra-
ton, and for the last two months has been
around apparently as well, mentally and
physically, as he ever was. The wound
discharged matter for some time, but final
ly healed up. Yesterday, while walking in
the street, he fell in fit from which he
passed into comatose condition. When
reused from this he had renewal of the
commissions. The case is one of the most
extraordinary on record, and is watched
with great interest by the medical profess
sion. The bullet is undoubtedly in the
mans brain, and how he has managed to
live up to this time is mystery. The doc
tors think his death is near at hand
