The Russian Influenza.

The Russian influenza or Ga
grippe" has become epidemic in all
parts Of the world. 1t seems to
have spread very rapidly in Amer
lea since it first gained q foothold,
and many deaths probably result
ing indirectly from severe attacks
of the malady, are daily reported.
DIR. George F. Shrody, editor of the
New York Medical Record, in an
article upon the epidemic of infu-
enza says;
There is now no doubt but influenza, or
"hat IS properly known as "the grip" has
"ecome epidemic in tins country and is
scatteIeu broadcast over the country. 1t
IS also quite evident that its general char
uac<eristlcs correspond with those noted in
connection with the prevailing type of
malady in Russia, Germany and France.
Fortunately it is of such mild type that,
save its ivasion of large districts and for
the large number of persons attacked, it
would scarcely be noticed in the cate
CORY of ailments connected with the usual
ones which occur during the winter
months, associated with rapid and varied
changes of temperature and humidity.
The reports of the fatality of the dis
ease, as might have been expected, have
been very much exaggerated Particular
ly docs this remark apply to the alarming
death rate in Paris. In point of fact, there
is no disease with such wide prevalence
which has such comparatively low NOR
tality. In this country, at least, there is
yet to be reported the first case of death
which can be laid to pure andsimple at
tack of the disease. Even the serious
complications are so few as scarcely to
merit recognition alongside of those which
Hre constantly occurring with the usual
diseases of the season. The after effects
of the epidmic will doubtless be marked
feeling of prostration, more or less con-
tinued, and lowering of the health tone.
The previously robust will quickly rally,
while the feeble will require stimulants
for vsria Die periods.

DeStltutlon in the Dakotas.

Late advices from North and
South Dakota, give very distress,
ing accounts of the suffering and
restitution that is prevailing in
those places. Coupled with such
an unfortunate state of affairs, it
is further reported that diphtheria
of a most malignant type has
broken out in some of the settle
ments of South Dakota, and that
the State Board of health is using
every effort to suppress the disease.
A correspondent Of the Washing
ton Post writing from Nelson coun-
ty, North Dakota, severely rebukes
Senator Pierce, who was indignant
because of the exposure of the real
state of restitution which prevailed
In both of the Dakotas. The cor
respondent quotes Senator Pierce's
language as follows: "That the
restitution is magnifed, end he
warns the confding public against
dishonest solicitation, and suggests
that all money collected be sent d.
rect to Bismarck" The cores
pondent adds, eff practical, this
would be a good scheme for the
Senator, especially if it found its
way into his political pool. If the
honest vote of the new state had
been consulted, Pierce would not
have been its representative. Evil
IDENTIFY the Senator does not stand
up for the poor of the state, his OBJ
ject being to cover their restitution
Tor his own private reason, which
he knows only too we'll exists, that
more dupes may be lured into this
unfortunate country by the willy
politicians. Five years of hard
work and only one crop! The SEN
ator must be revengefully ignorant,
or wishes to mislead the charitable
people. Had not the Christian
women-who were only too we'll in
formed of the restitution, gone forth
to the charitable world with their
tale of woe, collins instead of pro-
visions and clothing, would be need
ed in this proud Senator's state be-
fore the approach of spring. Shame
to let the words of one man weigh
against the terrible want and dis
tress OF thousands Of farmers and
their helpless wives and chi|dran
In, Inc correspondent closes by saying
These are facts and can be verified. y

A LONDON special cablegram to
the New York World, of January
1st, gives the following account Of
the rise and fall of prominent and
a well-known Californian. The ca
ble says:
When j. Morton Fisher came here from
California twenty years ago as promo
ter OF American enterprises, he made
money SO fast that he was considered rs
much of financial wonder then as Col
onel North of nitrate fame is now. He
had splendid suite of offices in the city,
and lived like prince. Yesterday he
died destitute, when ordinary care and
comfort would have kept him alive. Just
when he was getting established socially
in the American colony here he married
a woman whom society could not tolerate.
Then he got entangled in some street rail-
way schemes which nearly ruined George
Francis Train. His fortune soon dwin-
died away. During the last few years he
gave up the struggle, and was content to
live on the generosity of men whom he
had helped in brighter days.
J. Morton Fisher spent the spring
and summer of 1881 on Wood River,
and many of the old-timers of Hal
ley will no doubt remember him.
During Mr.. Fishers sojourn on the
River he became interested with
Messrs. True, Cavanah & Hufaker
in the Valley View mine at Bullion.
He was one of the principal pro-
motors Of the Richmond Mining
Company (Limited) of Eureka,
Nevada.
