DR.. Green reports the grip Jas
Astounding. Among the sufferers we
found Clerk Dawson.
The sale of the large hotel proper
ty was prevented by an injunction.
1t is thought to be only temporary.
Judge Duckwall was complaining
of cold, but denied any acquaintance
or combination with the prevailing
epidemic.
The new bank building is nearly
completed, and the organization of
the bank, as to president, cashier and
directors, has all been effected.
Several fine new brick buildings
are in process of erection. Mr.. III.
G.. Harrison, the merchant, is tear
ing down his old store-house and will
erect very fine building.
Messrs. Charles P. Jack and Bro.
deserve great credit for their very
thorough manner of remodeling the
Florence House, now and hereafter
to be known as "The St. Charles
Hotel" They have repaired the
building, put in new carpets and fur
niture, and reftted generally. We
have no doubt they will make them
selves popular with the travelling
public, and furnish splendid rest
ing place for the city folks during
the season.

The Symptoms Of La Grippe.

The Medical News has published
an exhaustive article on influenza
" la grippe'-by Professor Roberts
Bartholomew, of Jefferson Medical
College. After giving an historical
sketch of the disease, its pathology
and morbid anatomy, the author
says:
Influenza comes suddenly goes
as quickly. The least robust, at any
age, and women seem 10 be the first
victims. 1t is here a question of
bodily condition, not OF the sex. The
large numbers simultaneously attack
ed attracts general attention, and
thus those most impressionable are
seized, the most being facilitated by
any depressing emotion like fear or
illness. There is no rigor, properly
to be thus designated, but rather a
series of light chills and feeling of
heath Herewith. Sometimes naalotse
of a general kind is experienced, but,
like the attack itself, is short in dur
ation-lasting but few hours. e
"With the first access of the nasal
and faucial irritation comes the chilli
ness, which is followed by some fe-
verishness, with more pronounced
naalaise, and in a general headache,
weakness and soreness of the mem
bers, especially of the larger joints.
With the progress Of the case in
some epidemics there is considerable
general weakness, even marked de-
preston of the vital power. The
pulse becomes small and weak, the
mind gloomy, and restlessness en-
sues.

Dying OF Growth.

CHICAGO, Jan. There is pa
tient in ward 3 at the Cook county
hospital who weighs over three hun
dred pounds and who at the time of
his admission to that institution was
almost starved to death, not having
tasted food for FIVE days He is a
German, fifty years of age, and his
name is Vermen Vennau. Vannau
was admitted to the hospital Sunday
last and has been in comatose con-
dition since. His death within the
next forty-eight hours is certain.
Two months ago the growth which
will certainly cause death first be-
came noticeable. He stopped eat
ing, but the growth increased until
his abdomen when he stood up fell
below his knees. While he was in
this condition his wife left him to
die alone. DIR. Hector says | never
saw or heard of such case before
and am unable to fully diagnose it.
The growth may have been caused
by excess in eating or drinking.
The affection is entirely of the abdo-
men, no abnormal development being
discernible above the diaphram, /
think he is suffering from bile in the
blood, caused by an obstruction of
the bile duct from the liver, and this
causes him to remain in that coma
tose or sleepy condition.

Carnagie's lower Unian Iron Mills

strike of the puddlers, who refused
to work the iron furnished by the

too strong. Pending settlement OF
the trouble extensive improvements
will be made, and the mills will not
resume until some time in January.
About $50 men are idle.

received from Gen. Brooke, who is disposed
70 take 4 very serious view OF the situation
At Pine Ridge agency the situation is no
better and no worse. Agent Boyer made
this statement TO n correspondent: 1.-THE
great army of Indians now here remain
quiet and anxious. Beyond on the hills
are the ghost dancers, left for the moment
by their leaders, as defiant as ever. Mean
time the military preparations for some
big movement continues Over 1900 In
dams are in camp here The soldiers are
watching them narrowly and there will
probably be 10 outbreak

has seen the Messiah Last spring a man
named johnson Sides called upon the Off
Ger. Sides said he was known az the Peace
maker among all Indians and the whites OF
Nevada where he lived He could talk very
good English, was dressed like an ordinary
aborer, but had the Indians way of wear
ing his hair.
Sides said that Indians had come from
affair to see him, and he pulled out pipe,
such as is made by the northern Indians,
which pipe was recognized as having come
from either Montana or Dakota
II firmly believe that this Is the good
natured Indian that has caused all this
trouble the officer says that he has
taught the menb ers Of his tribe the story
Of Christ or the Messiah, and the time
whence he viii once more visit this earth.
He has no doubt delivered the story 10 its
true light, aud the Indians retelling the
story have warped and woven il according
to their understanding.
