WAHoo, Neb., April %. 1891.-This

ment which provoked the interference of

wife of a prominent farmer, and George

Poison was suspected, and a crowd of
citizens secured Freeman at TIE point of re-
volvers and were preparing to tar and

fellow. He was released, and now ten
prominent citizens are under arrest for

and Mrs. Stanford, Governor and Mrs.
Markham and others. They visited the
Stanford university buildings and
the Palo Alto stables and stock
farm. On their return stop was made at
San Rose, where the party was greeted
enthusiastically by large crowd. A fea-
ture of the reception was the presence of a
large number of G. A. R.

dressed particularly in brief
speech. The postmaster general and Sec
rotary Rusk also spoke, and after a street
parade visits were made to educational
institutions and other points of interest.

Renewed His Youth.
1t is on record in medical literature that
in the year 1881 poor old man, residing
at Tarantum, near Naples, was the sub
ject of a marvellous change when at the
age of nearly 80 years. His skin pealed
off and new and soft skin supplied its
place; his muscles again became strong
and plump; the wrinkles disappeared
from his face and the white hair from his
head; black, curl y hair grew On his head
again, and his complexion became fresh
and youthful. Sixty years ater he again
became decrepit with second old age,
and died after passing his one hundred and
sixtieth year.

four representative Democrats in their re-
spective localities as to their choice for the
Presidential nominee Of the Democratic party

In the issue Of THE TINES last Sunday was
published about forty responses. covering
half the State and from these answers our
esteemed contemporary deduces the follow
ing conclusions
First. that Mr.. Cleveland is the undoubted
choice of the Virginia Democracy. He has
clear majority against the entire field and over
one hundred per cent. majority over his most
formidable opponent, Governor Hill. The
general feeling is that. taking everything into
consideration. Mr.. Cleveland is the strongest,
best and most available candidate the Demo-
Gratis of the United States can select for the
next standard bearer.
Second. that while Mr. Clevelend's letter in
opposition 20 the free and unlimited coinage
of silver has hurt him 10 some extent, and
that but for that he would have been the
almost unanimous choice Of the Virginia
Democracy. he is still everywhere admired
for his manly honesty, and for his outspoken
way Of expressing his convictions of right, re-
gardless of any political consequence TO him.

Third. that the general conviction is that
before the campaign of ~. the silver question
will have largely solved itself, and that the
great issue TO be fought and decided in that
contest will be that of protection for mono

The course Of Parnell in relation 20 the

much even of the diminished following that
his previous acts had left him. In effect
he backs down from his own challenge 20

effort that could have been mnde for hineelf
he made tor his representative. Since that
election he has lost very greatly. partly by
the operation of causes that were then IN ex-

later misconduct. Nobody could recognize
in the hysterical Parnell Of the last few

The epidemic OF. the "grip"-an exaggerated
and often fatal form Of the ordinary influenza
at Pittsburg and Allegheny and the adjacent
towns on the Ohio river appears 10 be more
serious in its effects than elsewhere this sea-
son. In Pittshurg and Allegheny a steadily
increasing number Of deaths Is reported. The
statistics for the twenty-fOur days OF March
give seventy deaths in excess Of the mortality
in the whole OF March last year, and for the
twenty-four hours up 10 noon on Tuesday INST
thirty-eight deaths are reported. "a rate. 1t
il said. which If kept up. would aggregate
nearly twelve hundred deaths for the month"
Apart from the actual death rate, the number
of persons i'll with the disease is very great
One-third Of the students ut the western
Theological Seminary and one-thlrd OF the
corps OF employees at the Allegheny General
Hospital are stricken down with IT, and sew

Epidemics Of the grip have often occurredat
uncertain intervals both IN Europe ana III the
United States and have sometimes been very
fatal. In 1929 80 fifty thousand persons were
attacked at Milan. sixty thousand at Rome
and the same number at Vienna. In London
