HISTORY OF THE FATAL ILLNESS.
The history of Mrs Harrison's fatal
illness is best told in the language of
her physician, DR.. Frank A. Gardner
of Washington as follows:
'sMrs. Harrison's illness was the
outcome Of an attack of grip during
the winter of 189O-1891 which left her
with q cough lasting for several weeks.
While at Cape May Point in the sum-
mer of 1891 she contracted cold
which caused return of the cough
and it lasted the entire summer.
| She was we'll enough, however, dur
ing the winter to attend to the exact
ing social functions devolving upon
| the mistress of the White House, but
| in January, 1892, the cough which had
never entirely left her, commenced
again to trouble her considerably. In
the following March she had second
attack of the grip, followed this time
by catarrhal pneumonia, lasting about
nine days. The coughing spells then
increased in severity until at last they
were accompanied by bloody expect
orations and about the first of May she
suffered from hemorrhage of the
lungs which, although not very severe,
caused great prostration. An exam
ination of the lungs several days lat
er revealed a dullness at the apex of
the right lung.
Subsequently she was able to take
daily drives for several miles. but this
Improvement was of short duration,
and an examination made September
2 showed that the upper half of her
right lung was completely consolidat
ed. Notwithstanding this condition
drives up to September 7, on which
date she was stricken with an attack
of subacute pleurisy, accompanied by
an effusion of fibro- -serous fluid COM
pletely filling the cavity Of the pleura
on the right side, necessitating aspir
alton tapping three times.
At the time OF Mrs. Harrison's re-
moval to Washington, Septemb Der %,
her right lung was entirely consoli
dated. The disease progressed stead
lily, resisting treatment with every
known remedy until eventually the
left lung became involved, and then
the condition of the patient was hope
less. The case was complicated from
the very first by extreme nervous
prostration, which persistently resist
ed every remedy known.

Every voter ought to show love of
his country by voting at presidential
elections. Election this year falls on
Tuesday, Nov. s. The Australian bal
lot system will be used, but voting
will be much less difficult than at the
September election. There probably |
will be three, possibly four sets of |
votes or as many tickets. The voter
should make his x mark against the |
name of the four electors on the ticket I
he wishes to vote. Do notfail to place |
your cross against all the names on
your ticket.
An exchange in giving an account
of the great abundance of grain that |
is crowding every grain market says:
wheat weighs the market down like a
milestone. There appears no let up
of the flow of wheat from farmers
hands. In Chicago there are 10000
cars, and there is absolutely
no place to unload them. Every ele
vator is crammed to the caves. In
Sioux City it is reported that railroad
car famine has set in and it is impos-
sible to find cars to ship grain.
