TIE death rate in Chicago has
risen from eighteen in the thousand 10
twenty-eight. One epidemic no sooner
disappears, says the Herald than an
other and far graver one follows In It's
footsteps Typhoid fever is prevalent
Every public and private hospital Is
crowded with victims. Many families
are afflicted and doctors are overwork-
ed. The causes are two, the dirt Of the
city and the filth Of its drinking water.
There is a grave moral in this that
Wheeling should take TO heart. Keep
the city clean at any cost and boil and
filter your drinking water.

ANTI-HEBREW RIOTS
At Corfu-The Greeks Pillage Houses oil
Jews-Two Killed.


CORFU, May 13.-The Anti-Hebrew
excitement, which has existed here for
some time, and which caused an out
break about April 81. when the body of
a child who had been murdered, was
found in the Hebrew quarter, Is oecom-
ing more venomous. The Greeks
claimed the girl had been murdered for
the Feast OF the Passover, being q
Christian, and the Hebrews declared
the Greeks had murdered her as an ex-
cuse for riotng and plumber.
Though the girl was finally identified
as that OF prominent Hebrew, the
Greeks broke into the Hebrew quarter
and declared the Hebrew houses should
be burned. A number of Hebrews were
beaten, but the rioters were finally
driven out. Yesterday the rloting was
resumed. Two Hebrews were killed and
number injured. Troops again dis
persed the rioters, and now surround
the Hebrew quarters, and forbid them
passing the line.

Missing From Home.

Harry Van Keuren, the l4-year-old
son of j. w. Van Keuren, has been
missing from here for two or three days,
and all efforts to find him have proved
unavailing. He left the hotel on Twelfth
street one afternoon without saying a
word TO anyone about his intentions,
and took few things along with him,
outside of what he had on. 1t is thought
he boarded freight train for New
York or some other point, and letters
and kilograms have been sent in various
directions, but as yet nothing has been
heard from the boy.

ture wherein the sands in life's hour
glass had run the full measure OF their
time.

THE sUB-rKEAsURY SCHEME.

Governor STONE, of Mississippi, Is
teaching some other Southern puollc
men a needed lesson in courage and con-
scientiousness. What all of them nee
essarily think about the financial Wis
ions OF the Farmers Alliance he does
not hesitate to say fright out in meetln.
In reply to request to define his posi-
ton in relation to the imitation and sub
treasury schemes of the Alliance, he has
written a letter in which, among other
things. he says:
II am opposed to what is known as the
sub-treasury scheme, because DO not see
In it the promise of benefit.
Il cannot see any good results TO come
from a Elere increase of money. Iha'
must inevitably bring an increase oil the s
price of everything, and no gain Will result
to the toiling masses therefrom.
"If it were possible that what we raise
for sale could be advanced in price without
a corresponding advance In the price OF
what we must buy, we would, oil course, Ut
gamers; but all must admit that TINS can
not be- and that an amount OF money Iua'
would cause increase IN lHe PIlCO VI ~
products would have like effect on the
products of others, and probably we would
be sufferers. because of the fact that agrl-
cultural products are later in feeling the
impulsion of initiation than manufactured
articles. ,..a;.
THE promise of opportunity to obtain
money at low rate of interest by deposit
ing cotton and getting an advance OF 81 per
cent. of its value is, think, delusion ana
| a snare. % ,
"What would he do with the 50 per cent
II he should use it to pay debts or buy ar
ticles needed, what will he have with which
10 redeem his cotton: Having drawn ST
per cent. all he has remaining is ~ per
| cent. out of which must come interest, IN
surance, storage, weighing, loss in weight,
and if the price has advanced he may posi-
bly paw out, but if it has declined, what
will be his conditions My observation is
that. as a rule, it is best TO sell at the
prices prevailing when our cotton is ready
| for market. 1t rarely misses. II mas the
advantage of avoiding any losses and ex
penses and enables the producer to get al
| the benefits of his products.
