death of Mrs. Anna Bcaly, of Milwau-
Bee. Some weeks ago she inhaled a fly,
but no particular attention was paid to
it until very recently, when she COM
! planned of her throat. A physician at
first prescribed remedies for catarrh,
with which she had long suffered, but
| they afforded her no relief. Her throat
began to swell, and on second call the
| physician made an examination. His
| discovery was horrifying, as her nose
and throat were found full of mag
| COTS, which had eaten through the flesh
in many places. The partition of her
nose was gone, hole had been eaten
through the roof of her mouth, the soft
palate had disappeared. and the throat
was frightfully eaten. All of the insects
| within reach of instruments were re-
moved after hours of work, but the
woman was beyond recovery, and death
! relieved her sufferings.

! MILWAUKEE dispatch The introduce
ton of Chicago beer into Milwaukee has
precipitated war which is likely to
prove more lasting and disastrous to the
local brewers than the syndicate in
| Chicago. Milwaukee brewers not only
| practically own all the saloons in the
| Cream City but they charge the saloon
| men from So to S. q barrel more than
| they do Chicago customers. The home
retailers are hopeless to rebel, and, while
they will not talk about the matter, are
| glad to get re-enfOrcements. If Chicago
can sell beer in Milwaukee, it is con-
coded she will soon be in position to
run coal to Newcastle on an all-water
| route.
